THE BEST HP FANFICTION: THE LIST

By Anonymous, editor notes go between brackets.

=THE RULES OF FANFICTION=
1. Stick with them for a few chapters before deciding they suck. If they're on m
y list, they usually get better.
2. There are going to be annoying typos, don't let them ruin a good story.
3. Nothing good has ever come from reading Author Notes.
4. Characters/events that are shit in canon can be great in fanfics, and vicever
sa.
5. Cliches can be and are used right sometimes. (which is why some of these seem
cliched as fuck, but they're fun to read regardless)
