There's so much fanfiction written on every possible Harry Potter character and situation that recommendations are necessary. Please contribute your picks of favourite stories here and tell us why you like them!

We like good writing, characterisation, style. Genre doesn't much matter: this is a slash-friendly list, but PG, gen, het, etc. are all welcome. Please specify in your posts the rating, genre, pairing if applicable, as well (of course) as author's name, title, and link.

Our story recs are listed on our moderated Links page, with additional (and quite idiosyncratic) ratings by Ye Ed./ListMod Shezan, from **** [pro-quality, a true and rare gem], *** [very good indeed], ** [a little flawed but very enjoyable] to * [not my cup of butterbeer but enjoys a following here]. Agree? Disagree? Discuss it!

This is not a fiction list: please do not post stories (your own or others') to the list. Fic searches are forbidden as well. A few of our favourite fics will be archived, by invitation only, on our Files page, with their authors' authorisation.
