I have been reading fan fiction for years and I cringe when people make mistakes that are so so easy to fix like misspelling a main character's name or other important facts that are easy to look up to get the right spelling. Authors who start writing good stories and then just abandon them without telling their readers and removing the now useless file should be banned from posting. I hate reading a really good story and then I get to the last chapter and find that the story just stops. I prefer slash stories.
A good series to read is "A Second Chance at Life" by Miranda Flairgold if you like an intelligent and slightly powerful Harry. Sadly, this series did not continue but the first part of it was completed.
Another amazing fully finished series is the "Sacrifices Arc" by Lightning on the Wave https://www.fanfiction.net/u/895946/Lightning-on-the-Wave that starts with "Saving Connor". It has it's emotional ups and downs and is going to take you all over the place but I hope you will give it a try.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it.
This is a re-post from a long time ago that I cannot take credit for. I do not know the original author. When I started reading fanfiction, this was on some of my favourite author's profiles and I agreed with it and liked what it said so I re-posted.
Straight Americans need... an education of the heart and soul. They must understand - to begin with - how it can feel to spend years denying your own deepest truths, to sit silently through classes, meals, and church services while people you love toss off remarks that brutalize your soul. Bruce Bawer
Why can't they have gay people in the army? Personally, I think they are just afraid of a thousand guys with M16s going, "Who'd you call a faggot?" John Stewart
