I am, of course, following the news, but it’s freaking me out.

So, in last few weeks I’m back to reading Dramione fanfic.

Here’s a cute one (smutty - absolutely NOT for kids!)

Pleased to see this thread resurface. I gave some recs above.

I recently realized that the first Trump Administration plus Jan 6 plus Trump's resurgence as a candidate was part of why I stopped reading The New Yorker. Because of covers and the political short articles up front. As well as longform articles.

Fanfiction got me off news sites and away from The New Yorker (so it piled up).

I'm in my DCUM era now but it's waning. I'm feeling the call of print books again after quite a drought.

Okay - I just want to thank or strangle whoever resurrected this thread. I read Draco Malfoy and the mortifying ordeal of being in love - and was obsessed. Not the best writing. But, so satisfying. Is it allowed to read fan fiction??? And now I'm sucked into Remember Us In War which is darker but interesting too. Sigh.

Yes fanfiction is often great. And as someone who read a lot of Twilight fanfic back in the day it's amazing how much of it got published and became extremely popular and/or critically acclaimed. For example, the bestselling erotic novel of all time, 50 Shades of Grey, was a twilight fanfic before it ever hit bookstores. So often, whatever fanfic community you're in, youre reading authors who are actually really talented and sometimes go on to have massive careers.

I read this one a few months back. I’m a sucker for marriage law fics.

Here are the fics that have been reworked and are set to be published this year.

The Auction —> Rose in Chains (July 8)
Manacled —> Alchemized (July 8)
Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love —> The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy (Fall 2025)

I’ve been reading Taylor and Travis fan fiction. It’s just so adorable in the most cringey way possible!

OP back with more Dramione recommendations. I’ve tried to get into other subtypes, but Dramione is still the most satisfying. Neither of these are for kids.

This one is short and well-written, and the author (in my opinion) sticks the landing at the end!

This one is medium-length & cute:

What, no mention of the infamous "My Immortal" fanfic? "Hi my name is Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Way..."

Links to some you've enjoyed?

I highly recommend The Idea of You, by Robinne Lee. It's a novel (I listened on audio via Libby) that I think may have started as Harry Styles fan fic. Centers a woman who's about to turn 40. Escapist, fun, and super steamy and explicit in parts. Definitely for the mums, not the teens.

There should be a tag for this on ao3.

LOL.

Tom Felton reading this was one of the funniest things I’d seen in awhile. He seemed completely perplexed.
