Okay, so I don't remember a lot, but there's decent shit to find. 'Unfortunately, mostly, if it's decent, it's about 1200 words or some shit.

>>My Immortal (HP, deconstruction/parody)
The most hilarious part about it is that an author recently said she wrote it, and that she's half native american and she was in the foster system and spent a long time searching for her long lost brother. She said she wrote my Immortal as a goof. Turns out, she's a dirty liar, she's 100% white and her brother was never missing at all. She never wrote My Immortal either.

If you like Sonic the Hedhog, I could link you to my fanfics.
While most Sonic fanfics are in contemporary times and involve Sonic's relantionship with humans, my fanfics are set in a world where there are no humans, but himan-like creatures - such as Eggman - do exist.
To summarize, Sonic and his friends( I try to put all the characters from the Sonic world and I also create some) are threatened by a evil interdimensional force that tries to disturb their world in order to seek the chaos emeralds. Our heroes need to stop it from happening and deal with their own problems at the same time.
The villains are based off of real-life "villains" like politicians, dictators and more.

I don't believe her story, but I do believe that My Immortal was written by an actual writer and not a 12-year old girl. There's too much detail in the jokes/"typos" for it not to be.

HHHHHHHHH is great. I wish more fanfics took the risks it did, given none of them will be published.

I have read a lot of fanfics, but even before the internet was popularized, I used to make up stories about my favourite cartoons and video games. I remember thinking about tons of Sonic transformations so when Sega stopped producing hardwares due to the failure of tge Dreamcast and started to release Sonic for Nintendo/Sony and Microsoft plataforms I started to think about the many crossover that could happen between Sonic and other characters. Few years later, Sonic is on SSB, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and Sonic also appeared at at rip-off of SSB for the Sony consoles. The transformations of Sonic Unleashed were already in my mind since the first time I played Sonic 2 and manage to turn into Super Sonic, I felt as of they had somehow read my stories.

You know Finding Nemo? Turns out, the story was literally stolen from some small time french children's author. Disney or whoever won. Wanna know why? Because Nemo in the movie was a different shade of orange. God is dead.

There is a voluntary group where people do printing round.

We first gather a list of people being interested in a print, then score a deal with a professional printer.
Afterwards, we split the quote among the people who signed up plus shipping and voilà!

I read an embarrassing amount of HP fanfiction. Here's a few recommendations:

>After the End
Sort of a fandom classic, written after the fourth book, has a great canon feel and good dialogue.

>On the Way to Greatness
Slytherin!Harry divergence that actually feels believable.

>Applied Cultural Anthropology
Same as above but with Hermione.

>Resurrexit
A horror/mystery story with some genuine tension and good writing. Deals with soul-splitting and madness.

>The Unforgiving Moment
Action-packed writing, possibly too grim for its own sake, but an interesting canon divergence leading to tragedy.

>A Long Journey Home
In-progress story about an immortal character who's lived through history. Possibly my favorite in the fandom.

>Unlike A Sister
Post-epilogue Harry/Hermione story, one of the only romances I'd categorically recommend. Good character voice and dubious rationalizing of marital infidelity, dangerous infatuation etc. Sadly seems to be abandoned though.

>Strangers at Drakeshaugh
Canon-compliant and written from the standpoint of a muggle. Northumbrian is the single best writer of unapologetic family fluff and canon continuation. In-progress.

>A Black Comedy
Ridiculous alternate dimension comedy and silliness.

>Backwards with Purpose
The standard for time-travel canon fix-it fics. Sticks to the stations way too much but gets better.

Thanks! I enjoy long, sort of dark comedies sort of things. I've sucked ao3 dry in regards to fandoms I'm actively a part of, so I'm looking for new ones. I haven't read HP since book 5, but I'm getting kind of desperate.
If you want, I have a couple to suggest too.
