My lists


A short listing of my themed lists, pairing lists and favorite stories listing.


My themed lists
(Unless noted otherwise, my lists are sorted alphabetically within a category, disregarding articles.)

Harry-centric
Harry sends his mind back in time to his younger self
Powerful Harry
Harry is related to one or more of the Founders
Harry gets a new magical focus
Harry changes his name - legally or for the purpose of hiding
Harry as an Unspeakable, Hitwizard or similar
Harry on a Chocolate Frog Card
Harry has a phoenix
Hogwarts-AUs (Harry-centric)

Dumbledore
Manipulative Dumbledore
Grandfatherly Dumbledore and Dumbledore as mentor to Harry
Dumbledore in Harry/Snape-fics

Mentorship, adoption, different childhood
Mentorship and Adoption (Harry-centric)
AU: Harry doesn't grow up with the Dursleys

Diverse
A Cure for Lycanthropy or the Longbottoms
Trunks, portraits and other dimensional doors
Normal pregnancy
Animagus Stories
Magical or multiple Animagi

Pairing lists
Harry paired with an unusual female canon character
Harry/Ginny
Harry/Hermione
Harry/Luna
Harry in three-, foursomes or similar - het Harry with only girls - though there can still be slash in secondary pairings or femme-slash
Harry in three-, foursomes or similar - mixed Harry with both girls and guys
Harry in three-, foursomes or similar - slash - Harry with only guys
Harry the Casanova - Harry with a Harem, in a stable Multi-ship or paired with many different partners throughout the fic
Animal Sex - Sex or implied sex between animals or humans that are transfigured into animals

Character lists
Delacours - Fleur or Gabrielle - Also contains quite a bit of Fleur/Bill.
Snape is evil and nasty

Themes that I might make lists for - Tell me what interests you most (of the topics posted). If many people vote for the same theme, I'm likely to make that list first.


Personal favorites
Family and mentorship
Sixth and seventh year fics
Timetravel, dimensional travel and similar
Romance - Harry/het
Romance - Harry/slash
Humor and Stuff making you think
(I made those favorite lists a while ago and don't always update them with the new stories I find, in particular if I put the story in another list. Check through my other lists and look for stories marked with "##" to find my absolute favorites that I forgot to add to my lists of favorites.)


When posting Ratings, I mixed up T, K and K+ on ff.net, mistakenly believing that T meant PG and K/K+ PG-13. I am working on correcting this error - at least in one direction so that no PG-13 fic is labelled as PG. Even after I'm done there might be several PG fics left, though, which are still labelled as PG-13.
Also when I first started making fic-lists, I didn't quite understand the difference between R and NC-17, so to be safe I might sometimes have labelled an R fic as NC-17.
If you find a fic labelled too high or too low, feel free to point it out to me. I'll gladly correct my errors.

You have such fun lists - thanks for putting 'em together.

*blushes* Glad you think so! :D

But I'm curious how you noticed that post. I made it mostly as an easy way to refer to all lists - and played around with dating it back in time. (I hadn't tried this before and was most fascinated by that option! lol)

Hi Lira,

those are great lists. I hope it's okay if I link your lists in my community here: http://community.livejournal.com/hp_germanfandom/8332.html

Thanks,

Of course. It's fine. I'm glad that people appreciate my lists! :)
Thanks for the compliment!

You are aware of [info]painless_j and [info]lothy's lists as well?
Painless in particular has twenty or thirty very diverse lists.

Great lists! I'm adding this to my del.icio.us bookmarks, and will now spend the next couple hours pouring over all these recs. Thanks for compiling!

Another List That Might Be Useful

I have a list of Powerful, Training, and Fighter fics mainly from FFN.net. There are two, one with completed stories and one with uncompleted stories. If they are helpful or useful, feel free to post the link somewhere.

P.S. Your lists are amazing and inspired me to start my own.

Re: Another List That Might Be Useful

Thank you, I'm flattered to hear that! :D - I got the idea from [info]painless_j's lists. Check them out, she also has a listing for lists by others. (You might want to drop her a post telling her about your lists and most likely she'll add them to her list of "lists by others".) [info]lothy also has a lot of lists (all of them can be found via her profile and are also linked in painless_j's lists.)

It's also always a good idea to send a notice of such lists to the two lj-communities [info]hogwarts_today and [info]daily_snitch. They post the daily news concerning HP-fandom everyday. (You can find their emails easily by checking out the communities.)

Hey, just wanted to tell you that the link for "Harry changing his name" (paraphrased) doesn't quite work.

Hey, I was just wondering if your 5-chapter WIP rule could possibly be flexed a bit depending on the situation?

You see, the thing is, I have a fic currently that's about 17,000 words but only 3 chapters long so far--and I only plan to have one, *maybe* two more chapters--but over all it would be far more than 20,000 words.

And, well, I know stories that would have had more than five chapters by the time they reached 17,000 words--and my fic would certainly have been if I didn't like lengthy chapters.

Could you possibly further your WIP statement to say something like "5 chapters or the equivalence of 15,000 words"? (Of course, in a more formal manner ^^)

If not, I can understand--but I hope you'll think about it!

Thanks!

Re: kim

Euh, sorry. Not doing that list.
1) Not a theme that interests me in general - there are only a very select few gems in this clichéd theme.
2) Someone already made such a list, at least for Harry/Draco, maybe others as well. Just look through [info]lothy's List of Lists to find it.

Have I told you how much i love you?

lol just kidding...but seriously thanks for those lists!!! I have only recently begun reading Harry Potter and I love those "Harry is betrayed, has a twin goes to Azkaban" fics and your lists led me to some great reads.(I might even continuing reading the books)

[info]lira_snape

May 5 2008, 17:06:14 UTC 4 years ago

Thanks. I don't really have much time left over for my lists nowadays. But it's comments like yours that make me want to at least keep up those I already have (even if I don't ever manage to make any new ones.)

Looking for a HP fic

Hi,

I'm looking for this story. Here's what I remember. Harry dies I think and is given the choice to go back but can only return in a body of a blood relative who has been murdered with the killing curse and he can't become James. But James had a younger brother who was killed when he was ten or eleven. His name was Harry or Henry? Harry tells the young Dumbledore the truth and his wheelchair bound Grandfather overhears because he was invisible and suspicious of Harry. They both help him. At one point James teaches them how the trust and inheritence work for thier family. Help

Still active?

Wow. I favourited your list a couple years ago. I though you had dropped these a long time ago. I can't believe that you're actually up and running. Do you know if you're gonna update these lists or are they complete?

[info]lira_snape

May 22 2010, 07:03:31 UTC 2 years ago

Re: Still active?

The lists probably aren't complete. No such list will ever be complete, people are still writing new fanfic all the time.

But I'm no longer updating anything. I just don't have the time anymore. I do occasionnally check the new posts to get rid of spam but other than that I'm not active anymore.
If someone wants to take over some of my lists, they're welcome to. Just drop me a note and I'll send you the code.

your lists are probably the most complete collection of fanfics of their kind, would you consider adding the groundhog day catagory?
