These are recommendations made by Tropers for authors and sites of [[Harry Potter]] fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found [[Fan Fic Recommendations|here]].
 
You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. You can do it by expanding on the notes about the author or website, or linking similar or related authors or websites. Refrain from posting [[Conversation in Thethe Main Page]] though; that goes in the discussion page.

Line 17:
* ''Synopsis'': Starting out as a basic Albus and Slytherin fic, Vekin87 expands J.K. Rowling's world by introducing a variety of new characters, including the likes of wizarding vigilantes and morally ambiguous villians. Vekin's storys touch on themes like totalitarianism, the constant struggle between the public and the government, and ultimately, whether or not killing is right.
* ''Comments'': When I first read these stories I had to remind myself quite harshly that it wasn't canon. Vekin does a good job of blending canon bits with his own ideas for an entertaining read that is still very reminiscent of Rowling's story. Several of the characterizations are funny and he's almost as good at sparking [[Epileptic Trees]] among his fans as Rowling is. Story is in progress and has just recently finished book 5. He is currently working on his sixth book. He is the first (or one of) Harry Potter fanfiction authors to be on the road to completing all seven books. An absolutely amazing read. Some say his last few books are even better than Rowling's.
* Now has its [[Albus Potter Series (Fanfic)|own page]].

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/164445/ Squib Tales]'' by Ozma
* Recommended by [[User:Robert]]
* A series from [[A Day in Thethe Limelight|Filch's point of view]]. Good characterization and world building.
 
''[http://sam-storyteller.livejournal.com/tag/stealing%20harryverse The Stealing Harryverse]'' by Sam the Storyteller (aka Sam Vines aka Copperbadge)
Line 75:
**** You need to remember the age of the fanfiction. It was released in 2005 before it was well known in the fandom that Harry was related to the Blacks. It's possible the writer either didn't know that or took artistic license with it. The argument about relative close to Lily may count, but not having read the fic I can't be sure.
 
''The [[Dangerverse (Fanfic)|Dangerverse]]'' by Anne Walsh (Alternate sites [http://stories.trycanta.com/fics/ here] and [http://whydoyouneedtoknow.fanficauthors.net/Harry_Potter.php here])
* Recommended by [[User:Lizzie]]; [[User:Riti Troll]]; [[User:Seraviel]]
* A superb multiverse spawned from the existence of an older, college-age, sister for Hermione. More intricate than Canon.

* Recommended by Tikigod784, [[User:Looney Toons]]
* ''Comments'': Recommended because this author takes many of the stereotypical situations you often see in fanfiction (such as Dark!Harry and [[Peggy Sue]]) and writes them well. It should be noted that Dumbledore bashing is prevalent, but explained clearly in every story. Harry also tends to be more logical and cautious than canon. To be perfectly honest, if you read two or three of his stories, you'll know what reading his other HP stories (as well as his '[[Naruto (Manga)/Fanfic Recs|Naruto]]' stories) feels like.
** [[User:Looney Toons]]: Seconded; note that DisobedienceWriter already has at least one story recommended elsewhere on this page, the cracktastic ''A Bad Week at the Wizangamot''.
