Epic Harry Potter Goodfic by Honu_Wahine on 2010-01-08 17:41:00 UTC Reply

Okay, so it's just a tad AU. But the premise is good, and the writing is awesome. And, *egads*! There's a plot!
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2636963/1/HarryPotterandtheNightmaresofFuturesPast
Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past is a 38 chapter, 371,189 word re-write of the entire Harry Potter series. The turn-off point for the story is that the Golden Trio, instead of going to Godric's Hollow for a Hrocrux/information, they go somewhere else. Then Voldemort...*SPOILER ALERT* massacres every living being in Hogwarts, in an event known as the Hogwarts Massacre. Anyways, the war drags on for another ten or twenty years, until Harry the elder comes up with a spell to send his soul/memory/magic back in time, so that he can fix things, and make everything right this time around.
It's definitely worth the week or so of reading it'll take to get through all of it. Think there could be an article in the making for it?

Generally we only make wiki articles for goodfics so legendary that most everyone knows about and has already read them - the kind that come up in discussions or are referenced in puns or missions and which some people might need a wiki article or link to explain. After all, there's pleanty of goodfic around, and we can't make articles for all of them.

That said, it sounds interesting. When I have a week free, I'll take a look ;)

Eh. *I* think it's epic. Whether anyone else does is up to them. He keeps forgetting a hell of a lot of commas, but overall, the story's still really awesome. It took me about a month and half of trawling the load of crap in the Harry Potter archive on ff.net to find it... To steal someone's signature on DevArt-- "Finding a good fic is like looking for change in a sewer. You know it's there, but you have to go through a lot of crap to find it."
It doesn't have to have an article. It was just a random suggestion brought on by the anti-biotics. There's a nasty bug going around my hometown(so many kids are sick that the doctor told me to stay home unless I got bad cramps), and I've been taking a ton of drugs...
Meh. I'm whining, someone shoot me.
