I'm restarting my new/favourite #HarryPotter#Fanfic thread here, since #BirdSite is well, that... Let's start with this incredible thing, which is keeping me so engrossed that I cannot put it down, other than to type this. I will add to the thread with subsequent reads, and perhaps some old favourites.
This one's courtesy of @fastfinge, so thanks for that. Basically couldn't put it down and other than leaving my house to gig, haven't stopped reading it the passed few days. Now I'm eagerly awaiting a new chapter.
Title: Harry Potter and the Art of Getting Your Shit Together
Author: MsStarryNightSky
summary: It started, for Harry, with two words he wasn’t really expecting to hear as he sat on a park bench in Surrey. His summer so far had been, in a word, awful – but the one bright side had been that even though his friends were seemingly ditching and ignoring him, everyone was ignoring him. Including the Dursley's. And then, on a park bench one afternoon, Harry hears someone behind him mutter under their breath.
@FreakyFwoof@fastfinge I loved that one, and am waiting for a chapter too. I finished chapter 20. I like the chapters are pretty long too. not really short.

@fastfinge@FreakyFwoof sometimes I honistly swair that the author notes are longer than the actual chapters. smile. I know that probibly isn't the case, but it sure feels that way.
@JamminJerry@FreakyFwoof My favourite are the chapters that are just an authors note and nothing more. (A/N: Sorry guys! I haven't updated this week. I promise the story isn't abandoned! I will update sometime in the next thirty five years, I promise!)
@fastfinge@FreakyFwoof oh you mean something like this. chapter 16 this is just a quick note to everyone. I haven't abanded the story. I promis. I just have riters block, and bla bla bla bla bla. lol. I have even seen those in the middle of stories.
@JamminJerry@FreakyFwoof Even worse when the author goes back, edits a chapter to remove an author's note, and then the next chapter has another author's note referring to the previous deleted one!
@FreakyFwoof@JamminJerry The three of us should start a Harry Potter fanfic with a really interesting looking summary, and then just make every chapter a collection of author's notes. Just 150 thousand words of authors notes.
@FreakyFwoof@JamminJerry It could actually be kind of a fun art exhibit. Like, the story of an author told entirely through author's notes on their fic. But the actual fic is never written.
@fastfinge@FreakyFwoof@JamminJerry True. I remember using FicSave and Tyler Spivy's fanfic downloader to download stuff and after a while none of them worked. Meh, I didn't wanna read about why your self-insert vampire werewolf wizard time traveler wanted to fuck Voldemort anyways.
