The idea for this list stems from a discussion with serpentclara who claimed that there are so many fics where Snape gets redeemed but a lot less with canon!Snape or evil!Snape. So I decided to compile a list of stories with the latter.

What I take:
- Snape is evil.
- Snape is on the side of Voldemort.
- Snape is only one his own side, playing Dumbledore and Voldemort against each other, changing sides as others change their underwear.
- Snape is absolutely nasty, worse than in canon and out to get Harry.
- Snape can be both a minor or a major character.
- I will not take stories where Snape is just like in canon, nasty to Harry and ambiguous in his true alliances.
- pre- and post-HBP, both is fine.
- I take no stories where Harry is evil, a Dark Lord or similar. (Harry can use some Dark magic himself but he has to be firmly opposed to Voldemort and mostly on the side of Light.)
- No badly written stories and (short) abandoned WIPs, please.

There are so many stories out there for mpreg and possibly even more than one list. But fpreg seems to be a lot rarer in HP-fanfiction. While this is not a topic which interests me all that much primarily, it seems to be one of the topics I considered making a list for that generated the most interest on my flist.
Most of the links were taken from fics recced as fpreg on Fictionalley.
For now I'm sorting by pregnant characters (alphabetically within a category). Might change to sorting by pairing later.
For fics where a woman gets an abortion, has a miscarriage or similar, please see fishuuttawatuh's list Adoption, abortion and miscarriage. While some fics may appear on both lists, I won't copy them all.

What I take:
- Stories where a female character is pregnant.
- If we only see the result, a child, it does NOT count. Story doesn't have to center on pregnancy but the pregnancy must be clearly shown/known. The birth alone also does not suffice.
- At least one of the parents has to be a (major) canon character. If Cho Chang is pregnant by an OMC, that counts. Or if a girl carries Lockhart's lovechild. If Blaise Zabini gets Daphne Greengrass pregnant, even if both characters are named in canon, we barely know anything beyond their names, so I probably won't take it.
- No mpreg UNLESS the pregnant character has been turned female. (This transformation has to last for conception, pregnancy and birth at least.)
- No (short) abandoned stories, no short WIPs (with only two or three chapters written - as they are the most likely to get abandoned).
- No badly written stories, please.
- No crossovers.

( On to the fics )

My Harry/Odd list got rather long, so I decided to split off the pairing with the most fics, Harry/Luna.

- No drabbles, badly written fics or obviously abandoned stories.
- I accept stories where Harry is first paired with another girl but then realizes he loves Luna - but not the other way round.

- Like for my Harry/Ginny and Harry/Hermione lists, I'll also add links to Harry/Luna sites, communities and other rec-lists.

( On to the fics )

I just stumbled upon a little gem where Fleur and Gabrielle play a (minor) role and really wanted to read more stories with Fleur or Gabrielle in them as (major) character. As there is no Delacour-list on lothy's List of Lists yet, I badly felt the need to make my own.
(Yes, I'm still procrastinating and making lists instead of doing my "work"...)

I take any kind of fic where either Fleur or Gabrielle plays a (major) role.
- No Drabbles.
- No outstandingly bad or short abandoned WIPs, please.

( On to the fics )

For this list I'm primarily taking fics where trunks play an important role. This can be a trunk like Moody's with several compartments where one or more of them is actually a place you can live in. Or a trunk he inherited (for instance from his mother) where the trunk and its contents play a major role.

I'm also taking fics where a portrait or other object acts as a dimensional door. Or fics where someone actually enters a portrait and becomes part of it (for a long or short time). - I am not taking any other kind of fic where portraits play a major role. For those refer to painless_j's Afterlife: Portraits and statues (Fics dealing with afterlife as portraits or statues) or marginaliana's Animate Objects (Fics where portraits have an interesting personality).

( On to the fics )

I made a Harry/Ginny list last week and in making it, I realized that there weren't any more Harry/Hermione rec lists out there than there were for Harry/Ginny. While I don't really ship Harry/Hermione (I prefer Harry/Ginny or Harry/Odd) and I feel that Hermione is more of a sister to Harry, I have enjoyed the one or the other Harry/Hermione. Considering that Harry/Hermione is quite common a ship, it definitely deserves a list of its own.
I don't expect this list to ever be complete but I'll do my best.

What I take:
- Harry and Hermione are still at Hogwarts when their romance starts.
- Complete stories or lengthy WIPs.
- Novellength or (chaptered) novellas - but no one-shots or drabbles.
- No PWPs.
- The romance between Harry and Hermione doesn't necessarily have to be the main focus of the story but it should be a central part. I won't take stories where H/Hr is really just a background-story.
- No Harry/Multi.
- No fics where Harry and Hermione date for a while but then give up on each other. I will, however, accept fics where Harry and Hermione first dated someone else before realizing that they actually love each other.
- No crossovers.

I will also add links to sites that (primarily) archive H/Hr-fics and other rec-lists if I'm aware of them. And communities that are primarily dedicated to H/Hr (provided they are actually active). If you know of other H/Hr-lists or sites, please tell me about them.

Although this is the most common het-pairing for Harry, there are surprisingly few lists around and those that I'm aware of only have links and titles. As I myself prefer to read a story not just from a rec but also from having a quick look at the summary, I decided that I'd have to make a list of my own if I wanted it done to my tastes.
I don't expect this list to ever be complete but I'll do my best.

What I take:
- Harry and Ginny are still at Hogwarts when their romance starts.
- Complete stories or lengthy WIPs.
- Novellength or (chaptered) novellas - but no one-shots or drabbles.
- No PWPs.
- The romance between Harry and Ginny doesn't necessarily have to be the main focus of the story but it should be a central part. I won't take stories where H/G is really just a background-story.
- No Harry/Multi.
- No fics where Harry and Ginny date for a while but then give up on each other. I will, however, accept fics where Harry and Ginny first dated someone else before realizing that they actually love each other.
- No crossovers.

I will also add links to sites that (primarily) archive H/G-fics and other rec-lists if I'm aware of them. And communities that are primarily dedicated to H/G (provided they are actually active). If you know of other H/G-lists or sites, please tell me about them.

I recently stumbled upon a few very delicious drabbles. One of them was about Crookshanks and Mrs. Norris. I hope to find more stories like it.
I do NOT take real Bestiality for this list. Check ntamara's Bestiality List for this.

What I take:
1) Fics with sex or implied sex between two or more humans, all of which are in their Animagus-shape or otherwise transfigured into animals.
2) Fics with sex or implied sex between human and animal where the human is in Animagus-shape or otherwise transfigured into an animal.
3) Fics with sex or implied sex between two animals.

- If the sex is only implied, the fic has to be centered on it to count. Novellength Harry-centric-fics where we learn in a sidenote that Fawkes and Hedwig had babies do not count. But if the fic is centered on the relationship between Hedwig and Fawkes and their cute owl-phoenix-chicks - even if we never see them do anything worse than preening each other - then it counts.
- At least one of the animals or characters involved has to be from canon.
- I will also accept stories where while there is no actual sex between two transfigured humans, their sex once they are back to their human shape is a direct consequence of their meeting in animal-form.

( On to the fics )

I'm taking fics for this list where Harry is chosen by a phoenix.

- No badly written or obviously abandoned fics.
- No WIPs with less than five chapters written.
- For fics where Harry himself is a phoenix (as his Animagus-form), please refer to my other list, Magical and multiple Animagus forms.
- I might add a third category for fics where Harry has an outstanding relationship with Fawkes - even though Fawkes stays with Dumbledore.

( On to the fics )

I accept any fics for this list where Harry changes his name either legally or for hiding purposes. (I got the idea for this list from lothy's rant concerning Harry's birthname.)

- No fics where Harry's given name is Harold, Henry, Hareios or whatnot. The name given by his parents has to be Harry James Potter.
- No fics where the name change just adds a second part of the name, such as Potter-Black or Potter-Snape due to adoption or marriage.
- I take Severitus-stories where he lateron gets a new name when he lives with his father but no fics where he never was named Harry at all.
- I take timetravel-stories only when Harry uses a different name in his own time after his return.
- I accept fics where Harry uses a pseudonym in writing if the focus of the fic is on his writing and/or his pseudonym.
- I also accept fics where Harry has a second identity that no one (or only a select few) associate with him and where he appears in both, provided the second identity is more than just "Harry Potter can't appear in Diagon Alley, so I have to appear as..."
- No fics where the name change and hiding is just a very minor part of the fic (if he hides only for a chapter or two; or if he just gives another name during a visit to Diagon Alley).
- No fics where he leaves the Wizarding World behind completely. At least part of the fic has to take place in the Wizarding World.
- No hiding in his Animagus-form. (Nor any fics where his new name is mostly a Marauder-name.)
- No badly written or obviously abandoned fics. (In particular no short abandoned WIPs.)
- No WIPs with less than five chapters written.

( On to the fics )

I am taking "related" in the widest sense of the word, which means I will take
- the obvious ones where Harry is clearly the Heir of Gryffindor (or another Founder)
- fics where it is mentioned that Harry is related to one of the Founders even though he is not the Heir,
- fics where Harry himself is one of the Founders, either through timetravel or reincarnation,
- fics where the relationship is due to a blood-bond, marriage or adoption,
- fics where Harry is not blood-related to any of the Founders but is their magical Heir.

- The only kind of relationship I do NOT take is if it's purely sexual (without marriage).
- No badly written stories, WIPs with less than five chapters written or short abandoned WIPs. (I am willing to take abandoned stories for this list, provided they are lengthy.)

( On to the fics )

I'm looking for stories where Harry gets a different magical focus. This can be for instance a staff, a scepter, jewellery, a weapon or a custom-made wand. But he has to be able to channel all (or at least most) of his spells through it. If he has a ring for instance that he can use to cast just one single spell, that doesn't count.

Concerning wands I won't take fics where he just gets an extra-wand (or even a normal replacement wand), it has to be made either custom-made for him or otherwise very special, such as he finds Godric Gryffindor's wand in his vaults and he is the first one to be able to use it since Godric. Or Harry himself makes the wand.

Btw, speaking of staves, English is not my first language and I seem to have managed to easily comprehend that which keeps many fanfic-writers stumped: staff is the singular and staves the plural...

I have read quite a few fics that would fit my list but unfortunately I seem to have forgotten most of them, so please help me out by reccing fics that fit this list. :)

- No obviously abandoned (unless they are very long) or badly written stories, please.
- Nor any WIPs with less than 5 chapters written.
- No crossovers.
- Wandless magic alone doesn't count, he has to use an object to channel his magic through (at least part of the time). But the focus can be on or in Harry's body, such as a tattoo (provided he can use this tattoo to cast diverse spells. Stories like Skindeep where the tattoos only cast one single spell, defending Harry against contact - don't count.)
- For stories with custom-wands or special wands I only take stories where Harry originally gets his holly-phoenix-wand and only lateron a second wand. But I take complete AU-stories with other magical foci.

( On to the fics )

I accept any stories for this list where Harry is outstandingly powerful - magically speaking. (For fics where he's politically powerful, check out lothy's list Fics where Harry is royalty or nobility.)
Half the superpower!Harry stories have Dumbledore as mentor, the other half seem to have him as manipulative bastard - so I'll use that as primary category for sorting the fics. I'll also try to sort into Light and Dark Harry. (As I don't read Evil!Harry-stories, I have to rely utterly on other people's input for that part.)

- No obviously abandoned or badly written stories, please.
- Nor any WIPs with less than 5 chapters written.
- No crossovers.
- Harry can be both obviously super!power or it can be more subtle, like in canon when he learns the Patronus-charm when he's 13. Things like him learning spells faster, doing them better than others; others having problems with enervating people Harry has stunned, etc.
- His power can be natural, from birth, an inheritance, through a ritual, a gift, etc. (Though not due to "just training". But if he is given special training and excels at it because of the power he has, like in "Summer of Change", that works.)
- Lots of Redo-Harry-stories have a powerful Harry, so I added some of the better ones to this list. (Funnily enough most of them are Grey Harry.) To check out the others, go see my other list Harry travels back in time to his younger self.

( On to the fics )

Originally I saw this list as the third link to "AU: Harry doesn't grow up with the Dursleys" and "Mentorship and adoption". But very few stories on this list actually have to do with adoption or mentorship. So now I renamed the list. And I'm taking every story where Harry's pre-Hogwarts life takes place at the Dursleys (though there can be changes as early as that) but the story centers around the changes that happen when Harry comes to Hogwarts.

- Harry lives with the Dursleys till he starts Hogwarts - but there can be other magical people nearby, Dursleys can be more abusive than canon, not abusive at all, etc.
- There can be changes to canon even before Hogwarts. But the important facts have to stay the same:
Attack on the fateful Halloween has happened, James and Lily are dead, Harry is magical and lives with the Dursleys till he comes to Hogwarts at 11. (After that he may come back to the Dursleys for the summer or not).
- Stories where he has grown up with anyone but the Dursleys (even if his childhood isn't shown much), belong in my AU: Harry doesn't grow up with the Dursleys-list.
- No Redo-stories. See my Timetravel-list for those.
- No One-shots that just deal with "Harry was sorted into Slytherin" or similar.
- No abandoned stories or WIPs with less than five chapters, please. And no badly written stories.

( On to the fics )

Having worked so much on my pairing-lists the last week, I need a break from them. ;)
So I'm making a list for Harry being mentored or adopted.
- For this list I accept only stories that follow canon at least for one book. (AU-stories belong either in AU: Harry doesn't grow up with the Dursleys or AU: Harry grows up with the Dursleys but story diverges from canon once at Hogwarts.)
- No Redo-stories. See my Timetravel-list for those.
- For Dumbledore as (only) mentor, see my Grandfatherly and mentor!Dumbledore-list.
- No Severitus-stories, "Sirius is Harry's father" or similar. (Unless the blood-relationship is secondary and someone else is the primary mentor! Or someone becomes Harry's mentor before the blood-relationship is known.) - for Severitus-stories see enahma's list Complete Severitus stories.
- And no stories where the mentor-relationship developes into a romantical one, please.
- No abandoned stories or WIPs with less than five chapters, please. And no badly written stories.
- There are a couple of stories where Harry gets adopted but the adoption is very far from being the focus of the story, so I probably won't add any of those.

( On to the fics )

To complete my Harry/pairing-lists, I'm finally making a listing of Harry with Multi-ship.
This list is sorted into three categories:
1) Harry/Harem
Harry is linked up with lots of women (or more rarely guys) at the same time and continuously adds new ones.
2) Harry/Multi
Harry is linked up with at least three women (or possibly guys) simultaneously but there is a clear limit to the amount of partners he has. The fic leaves the impression that even ten years later he will still not have added another girl.
(Those fics can actually also be found on my Harry in three-, foursomes and similar-lists, sorted by Het, Mixed and Slash.) This list, however, is only for stable pairings, no one-offs!
3) Harry as Casanova
Harry is throughout the fic involved with at least three different women or guys - though not necessarily simultaneously. (Can be resolved with a "final ship" when he finally has found his true love or can be unresolved. Implied pairing for past-ships is accepted.)

I was recently asked if I accepted Harry/Ginny/Hermione for my Harry/Odd-list. I replied that I didn't but was interested in stories of that kind anyway if he knew a couple of good ones. And this inspired me to make this second listing where Harry is with several girls or guys.
This part of the list is for Harry with girls and guys.

Please note that most fics on this list are unsuitable for underage readers. Show the authors and me some respect and don't click on the links if you are a minor. Anyway, tread cautiously and mind the warnings in the summaries and inside the fic files.
