Fire Juggler

I love fests. They are such a great way to get introduced to new authors and to re-discover favorite authors. The only problem is, I sometimes get distracted in the middle (especially around the holidays), and then forget the fest ever happened. I am always so happy to get referred back to a Masterlist or a “Big Reveal” where I can dig around for gems that I missed the first time around. Since I haven’t found any lists of fests out there, what follows is a list of links to fests and exchanges (past, present, and future). This focuses (as always) on slash and femmeslash. The only non-slash/femmeslash pairings you'll find here are in the fests that allow for various pairings, where slash and femslash might be present as well. This list doesn't include the drabble fests or the art fests.

I have found another awesome list of H/D Fests and Fairs over at gunshandcuffs. It also includes H/D Art Fests and Drabble Fests and is organized by year. Go check it out!

For a wonderful, fabulous list of ongoing and upcoming challenges (gen, slash, het, you-name-it), check out Potterfest's Masterlist of Challenges!

This is a themed list of fanfiction that is based on known fairy tales. Generally speaking, I'd like the fics in this list to actually be recognizable (in some way) to a specific fairy tale (or to more than one), but occasionally I run across fics that are so "fairy tale" in nature that I will include them here. I'll note which fairy tales are represented

This list is mainly HP/SS, but I'll include other pairings that I come across as well, if the mood strikes me. However, it will only be comprehensive for HP/SS. I heart H/D as well, but hidders has a brand new list of H/D fics based on fairy tales, and since it is new and all the links are working, I see no reason to re-tread the ground. Go here to access it. It is wonderful.

I'm sure there are other rec lists out there, and if I find them, I'll post them here as well. I certainly don't want to take credit for anyone else's work at compiling these things :)

Note: You won't find any WIPs here, because I get too disappointed when they're abandoned. I always wait until they're finished before I read them.

Great Fairy Tale Fic Lists by other people:
Harry Potter Fairytales: A Search & List by fruce. This is a wonderful list of all pairings and gen fiction. Unfortunately, it was last updated June 12, 2007, so be prepared for a few broken links.
H/D Fairy Tale List by hidders. A new and very comprehensive list of H/D fairytale listings.

This list includes all the non-magical fics I've been able to find (HP/DM section). For me, "non-magical au" means that the story takes place in the real world. It doesn't include the wizarding world losing their magic, or characters leaving the magical world and living without magic. These are stories in which magic doesn't exist. At all. It never has; it never will.

I have not yet read everything on this list, but a ♥ will lead you to the ones I have read and recommend. Note that just because something isn't ♥-ed, doesn't necessarily mean it's bad!fic. The ♥-s are just my favorites.

Also, I never include WIPs because I get too disappointed when they aren't finished.

Any other non-magic fic lists I have come across:
Harry/Draco AU Stories Listing (Non Magical) by foryourpleasure (Last updated October 10, 2009).
Living as a Muggle by painless_j (Last updated October 2, 2007).


There were a lot of fics, so I separated this into two lists. For HP/SS non-magic fics, go here

My other love: Epistolary Fiction. Generally, I think of epistolary fiction as entailing letters written back and forth, but this list includes both fics that are completely correspondence, as well as those in which correspondence plays a (fairly) large/important role. So they aren't all, strictly, epistolary. Forgive me...

I don't want to step on any toes, so I will say right now that Painless_J has compiled a great list of epistolary fiction (and other great lists). I'm sure there will be lots of overlap, and this is mainly for my own reference. If other people find it useful, great. Also, she states that she has been out of HP Fandom for a while, so I thought an updated list would be great to have around.

I have not yet read everything on this list, but a ♥ will lead you to the ones I have read and recommend. Note that just because something isn't ♥-ed, doesn't necessarily mean it's bad!fic. The ♥-s are just my favorites.

Note:
1) My main pairings are HP/SS and HP/DM, so that's mostly what you'll find here, unless I feel the sudden urge to put other pairings in :)
2) I don't do WIPs. If I see one that looks interesting, I bookmark it and come back periodically to see if it's finished. You won't find any WIPs on this list.

If I find any more epistolary rec-lists by other people, I'll post them here:
Themed list: epistolary fics by painless_j (All Pairings)
Snarry which deals annonymous letter writing by mac_tunes (HP/SS)
Epistolary by devian_11 (HP/DM)
Thematic list: email/m-mail/online-chat in HP fanfiction by carpe_savium (All Pairings)

I have a fondness for courtship fics, so I am starting to compile a list. It's mainly for my own reference, but if other people find it useful, great. I'm sure there are other rec lists out there, and if I find them, I'll post them here as well. I certainly don't want to take credit for anyone else's work at compiling these things :)
