First and foremost I must express my love of all things Harry Potter. The HP fandom pretty much rules my life, as pathetic as is already is. It's probably the only thing I'm obsessive about and can be passionate about without feeling self-conscious.

My day starts and ends with a little HP fanfiction; it starts a day off right. And I don't read just any silly ol' fic, I'm a total slasher. But not just any ol' slasher, I'm a Harry x Draco nut! I have a private collection of HP:HD (nice, long, and multi-chaptered) fics amounting to over 2,000! That's how deep my love for HD is.

My music tastes are off the chart. I like a bit of everything so I'll say what I don't like or just don't listen to. I don't listen to country or religious music. I don't really like to listen to the radio's top 40 of pop/punk/rap/rock/whatever. I miss the top 40 of the mid-90's. I mostly listen to asian rock/pop and [ducks head] WRock. WRock stands for wizard rock and means music about Harry Potter. I know, obsessed!

Movies... I like a bit of everything in my movies as I do music. I'm rather turned off to the whole comedy genre as of late. Movies like Zoolander, Tropic Thunder, and any spoof film has totally ruined the experience of laughable movies for me. I like subtle comedy these days. I also cringe at the thought of another chick flick. But if I had to pick a favorite movie it's be Wall.E. It's got to be the next most influential movie; like the updated return of silent movies! Yay-ness.

Ha! Bet you thought I'd say Harry Potter was my favorite movie! Nope. But I do think that the first two were the best in the series. Chris was probably the best director for such a bright and fantastic fantasy world.

You can find me lurking the LJ communities Accio_HD_Fics and HD_FicSearch daily; helping who I can, when I can. I like to cheer up stressed out people.

I love dance shows such as So You Think You Can Dance? and America's Best Dance Crew. I love America's Next Top Model. I love Grey's Anatomy. I love the original CSI. I love Sasuke (AKA: Ninja Warrior).

I like to be creative. I love to make icons and wallpapers. I love to read. I love movies and anime. I love conventions. I love yaoi manga. I adore Kago Ai (Morning Musume, Mini Moni, W) pre-the 2006 scandal. I love hour long showers and baths. I love that the world two hottest people (Brad and Angelina) came together. I love video games. I love Final Fantasy XII and American McGee's Alice. I want to travel. To Great Britain, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Netherlands, Australia, India, China, and Japan.

And that's a crash course in Hidders.

HPF & THF

The fanfiction archives HPFandom and TheHexFiles are both looking for volunteers to help move fics over to Archive Of Our Own (AO3) using the Open Doors project.

separatrix, HPF & THF's owner, will not be able to take on this project herself due to health issues so it's up to us fans to come together and move as much as we can in only 3 months before both sites close permanently.

If you are seriously interested in helping out please drop a comment at either hpfdotnet or hex_companion and let us know.


Useful links for someone thinking about volunteering:
The Open Doors Special Collections Gallery - Archives saved with Open Doors, where the archives will end up, hopefully.
Importing Works with an Archivist Account - A tutorial of what we'll be doing.
The archives use an early version of eFiction so each chapter has a different ID number, chaptered fics will need to be imported differently than oneshots.
- How do I import a chaptered work? (Up to 100 chapters at a time.)
- How do I import multiple works in one go? (Up to 10 oneshots at a time.)

This got asked in a FB group I'm a member of so I figured I might as well make an LJ post about my OTP history.

Before H/D there was H/L. I had gotten caught up with canon and was looking for more. Back then a major rumor for Book 6's title was "Harry Potter and the Pyramids of Furmat" and through heavy googling I read one fic of that title with a HP/LL pairing, that was my first taste of H/L. I was a Harry/Luna shipper for about 3 months, before then I didn't even know ficage even existed. A favorite author of mine was DrT who wrote fics that made up for wait for more canon. In one of her 'novels' there was the smallest of scenes where Harry (& co.) argue with Draco in the Great Hall just before Harry leaves Hogwarts. I think Draco only said a sentence or two before Harry tells him off and that's all there was of Draco in that series. Well, the scene stuck with me and nagged at me for weeks, placing the idea of Harry/Draco into my head. So I explored the wonderful world of H/D and never looked back. As for the first fic I read... I'm afraid I don't remember. I suspect it was "Irresistible Poison" because I think I wanted to read the most recced and popular one first. I'm the type to research a while before diving in so I knew all the fandom history before I even got involved.

That would make around the time I started reading HP fanfiction summer of 2003 and getting into H/D fall/winter of 2003. Which doesn't seem right in my head. I feel like I've been in it longer than 10 years... Maybe because I read so much that first year.

2024.10.27 - Hey guys, I had went in to edit the fic donation link (the old file-sharing site died years ago) and I guess they changed the text-limit of posts or something because the post kept cutting off in the Ks. ... I can't be bothered to figure out why this happened or how to fix this so I uploaded a saved HTML of this post to Neocities (the Geocities savior). I have no idea what compelled me to save a copy of the list before I edited it but I'm glad that I did.


The Hook-up List @ Neocities






Hey, Hidders here!

So, I like to hook people up with missing/lost fics. I understand the frustration that comes with wanting to read a fic once again just to find out it's been removed from the web. Bummer man. But there are a lot of people who save what they read, (and after learning my lesson) I'm one of those people now. This is just a compilation of the fics you can request from me.

Most fics are Harry/Draco but I do have some other pairings saved just for the sake of sharing. All fics are complete unless stated otherwise. JSYK, none of the incomplete fics will probably ever get complete. Don't assume any of the fics are good or sounds like something you'd like just based on the author name or title. I'm totally unbiased in my saving and have saved plenty of bad-fic. And no, I'm not gonna rec you anything.

Donations are love! If you have a deleted fic not listed here and are willing to share, please do! Just let me know if you want donator credit. I'll accept any pairing, even scary het fics. <(^_^)>
- Please, only donate PDF if that is all you have of the fic. PDF can be very hard to convert into a different file type so types like HTML, EPUB/MOBI, and DOC/RTF are best.

Updates

Alright, let me level with ya'll. My interest in fic-sharing these days is next to nill. I want to get back into it like I used to, be a reliable source again, but I'm so easily distracted. I do answer some requests but there's always a possibility that yours will get overlooked.

How did this come about? Well, I've been fic-sharing via this list since early 2009 and I would get anywhere from 5-30 requests a day. Which was fine as I wasn't doing anything else back then. In August of 2011 I had taken a week off to go camping (I scrambled to buy a Kindle just so I wouldn't die from lack of ficage XD), ever since I came back I just hadn't been able to get back into sharing. When I shared I didn't get much time to read, I had forgotten just how much I love to sit down and read 100k a day. So I would read for days on end on my Kindle, not even bothering to boot up my computer. Eventually I got back into some of my other fandom loves; Japanese dramas, anime, and Hello! Project & later Johnny's (Japanese idol agencies). Time goes by and Bob's your uncle.

Reminder, please be aware of the rules, 'specially about adding an e-mail addy to your PMs. When I do get to the requests I really don't want to runaround.

04.26.2013 (*facepalm* I should have put date-stamps these years ago.)

I haven't been able to fill in requests like I used to so if you do send a request be prepared to possibly wait a long time. It used to be the most you had to wait was 24 hours or less, or a week at the longest. Now it's more like a month or two, or (on occasion) never, the request gets buried in my inbox and then accidentally flushed when I clean it out. If you're an OP on a post that I responded to about having it then you should have that kind of delay, I'm still fairly good at keeping up with one-on-one requests. Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll try to get my drive and passion back.

I reset my e-mail & LJ inboxes and removed the clutter so if you have requested but never got an answer in the last few months please try again now.

I added IvvyMoon to the list and am still compiling a listing for Kamerreon. And a listing for Sacrilege/Tarnished/Kairiku because a donation reminded me that I didn't have one up. Also added a few fics to Others and removed dead links. If I miss any of them let me know.
(Am I ever going to get around to making these lists? I've no idea.)






(Since I've gotten some outrageous requests.)



The Rules
(I get that this is a lot of reading but rules are rules.)



1) Request via PM or e-mail. Please add your e-mail address to your request if you choose to PM.
And have something in the subject line. All [ No Subject ] e-mails go straight to my spam folder. Something about fics or the fic you're looking for will help your e-mail be more eye-catching when I go to clean out the spam folder; every 1-3 weeks.
All exchanges are private and should remain so.


2) No asking for the fics in a comment with your e-mail address.
I say that so you don't get your e-mail placed on someone's spam list and you don't get sent viruses. It's a dangerous cyber world, people! I won't answer any requests made in a comment, even if it doesn't have an e-mail address listed. It just adds way too much back-and-forth responses.
So, sorry (Anonymous) users, but there's just no excuse to not have an LJ account or to not contact me by e-mail.


3) Clearly state what fic(s) you are looking for. No, I'm not gonna send you all of the ones on the list.
This list is made for people actually looking for a specific fic.
Be reasonable, pace yourself, I'm not going anywhere soon. If you haven't read it before, you're not missing it. Go check some new authors; you never know when they are going to be gone and you might be the one with the only saved copy of their fics. I understand if someone's rec it directly to you, though. But if you just seen an old rec or two and mention that to me, I'm not going to be happy. Never tell me you haven't read the fics you're looking for.
If you think your request has been deleted or wrongly ignored, try again. I'm not going to remember that you just sent out a similar request last week anyway. <-- Short-termed memory when it comes to names.


4) Also, please type as you would to your English Professor.
Your only excuse for bad grammar is having English be your second or more language.
So if English is not your native language, you're okay to skip this rule. Go ahead and ask.
I type a lot more intelligibly than I speak so that everyone around the net understands what I'm saying. Also, there's a lot of things that people type that I don't understand. Net-speak is so uncool with me; the last net-speak-acronym I learned was TTYL way back in 1999. If I can't understand what you're asking for I'm just gonna ignore the post.


5) Not really a rule, but Please and Thank you are a nice touch. They encourage me to keep sharing.


DO NOT POST THE FILES YOU RECEIVED FROM ME ANYWHERE ONLINE.

If I wanted them online I would have done it myself.
Ignoring this will just make me want to delete this post and stop sharing.



I also ask you to not share my files, just send people this way please. I ask this because if/when an author catches wind that someone is sharing the fics they've stated not wanting to be shared you'd probably want them to take their anger out on me rather than you. I'm perfectly fine with taking the wrath of an author since I'm a firm believer that once a fic is placed on the internet it becomes public property. If there's a chance that you want to use one of your fics for a novel, don't post it online and expect people not to share it when you take it down. It's not gonna happen.




The list is in the link at the top.




...MORE LATER...




I don't have a fic you're looking for? Feel free to ask me if I do; I may just have it sitting on my hard drive and hadn't added it to the list. Keep in mind that I pretty much only read H/D so it would probably be a long shot for me to have a different pairing that's not already listed.




~§~ Fics I'm Looking For ~§~

Tsurusaki Eiri - The Leather-Bound Journal
-- I have a google translation of the fic from being translated into Polish but would much rather have the original English version.

Eclipse -Crazy Mary-J- ("Where's the 'Malfoy' in 'DA'?" sequel)
-- I have 3 chapters thanks to a donator but there may have been more. This was a WIP when it was deleted.

Distortion of an Alchemist -Stylophile-
-- I have 17 chapters in RTF but I'm not sure that is all there was.

Heart of Glass -Simply Slytherin-
-- I have 38 chapters in HTML, I was nearly positive that this fic was complete with like 42 chapters.

Ivvymoon's Fics
-- She deleted her fics from HP archives and left the fandom. Anything I don't already have is appreciated.



Fics people have asked me for but I don't have:

You Will -AnythingBut-
hellshallbemine's fics


(Donate)
Please, only donate PDF if that is all you have of the fic.
PDF can be very hard to convert into a different file type
so types like HTML, EPUB/MOBI, and DOC/RTF are best.

I have this little plot-bunny named Fred in my head and he gives me little ideas all the time. Just so I don't forget them (for fest prompts and such) I'm gonna drop them off here.

If you know any fics with these ideas, please let me know! I'd really appreciate it.

Just assume they're meant for Harry/Draco fics because I don't read much else.


When Harry divorces Ginny he gives her a choice: She can either have half (or whatever the appropriate amount is) of the Potter fortune but her name will have to revert back to Weasley. Or she can keep his name but give up all claim to the Potter money.

Ginny leaves Harry for the Minister of Magic because she wanted to be with a man who holds power and uses it. When Harry was with Ginny (or even afterwards) he heard that the current Minister was a shoe-in for a second term. In spite, Harry runs for Minister of Magic against the current Minister and wins by a landslide due to his popularity. Former Ministers are not monetarily taken care of like former USA Presidents so what little money the former Minister had dries up quickly, compliments of Ginny's need to pretend everything is fine.

Harry's been divorced for a few years (Ginny's already remarried and happy, everything's good on that front) and he hasn't come back into the dating scene. Albus and James decide he needs to get out and find someone. So they sign him up for a wizarding dating service (like internet dating). Knowing that Harry Potter is a name that would cause chaos they sign him up under a pseudonym. When he gets home from work the kids inform him of what they did and get him set up to start talking to people. The thing is that the kids were a little hasty and selected Harry as open to male and females or maybe just males. Harry takes it in stride and decides to give it a try, at least he'd be making friends. Draco is also under a pseudonym since Malfoy still isn't the cleanest name. They correspond back and forth for a long time and finally decide to meet. They meet up at a muggle park since it's safe, they can't use magic and will have to avoid making a scene. Eventually everything works out for the best. - Scorpius might have signed Draco up for the dating thing too, maybe him and Albus (and James) plotted this.

Dropped from the hp_getlucky fest 2010. This was the only fest I've ever prompted.
Prompt #114 - Claimed for fic
For: hidders
Character/Pairing: Harry/Draco; established-side-pairing: Albus Severus/Scorpius
Type: Fic preferred
Era: Post-Hogwarts; EWE or Epilogue compliant, either way's fine.
Scenario: Ever since all the kids 'left the nest' to Hogwarts Ginny's sexual tastes started to wander to the younger, beautiful, foreign men she'd meet in Quidditch. Harry's luck has been in the dumps ever since. He's passionate about very few things these days and has decided to focus strongly on his son's 'inappropriate' relationship with Malfoy's son. (Only because he's a Malfoy, Harry's not a homophobe or anything.) Scorpius devises a plan to distract Mr. Potter from their life and get him thinking about living his own. And maybe bring some life to someone else in the process.
- I was going to ask for post-divorce for Harry and Ginny but I'll let you choose that. You also have free reign on Astoria's status.
- Also, feel free to interpret this any way you want. It doesn't have to be exactly what I asked for. I just really want scheming!Scorpius.
Squicks: Scat/watersports; no killing these 4 boys off, I'll cry. Anything else is game.
Maximum Rating: There is no max, have fun!

Harry's chest-monster in HBP is caused by Voldemort because Harry's his horcrux. A Volde/Ginny type thing where Volde's soul feels that she is his because of the events that took place between them in CoS. I was thinking it'd be a great basis as to why Harry wanted her despite not caring about her before and give it an easy out to their relationship post-war.

Whatever icon and signatures/banners I made for forums will go here. If you snag these let me know and remember to give me credit. Click on the images and download rather than right-click save as; the images shown are temporary JPGs and not high quality. I added border code so you can see the actual size of the images that have a transparent background.

Alternate Reading Solutions

Want a low-CPU-sucking reader for your fics when you don't want to open your bowser? Well, I did. 'Specially since opening my browser means opening over 50 tabs that I can't bring myself to close. I just wanted something that I could use when I didn't want to open Opera, or even attempt to use FF or IE for fic reading. Here's my lucky findings!


yBook

Turns out this little gem is perfect for me since it also reads editable text, which I am prone to accidentally erasing. This little baby reads ePUB, HTML, RTF, and TXT. It's not a lot but just enough for me to like it. I'm using version 1 since even the creator admits that version 2 doesn't work correctly. It pretty much reformats HTML by removing things like bold/div/italic/table tags and links. But overall it's like reading in Opera's User Mode, which is exactly how I read fics.
Format:
• ePUB
• HTML
• RTF
• TXT

JMReader

Now this was an amazing find! It's pretty similar to yBook in how it looks. There's 2 modes (browsing and reading) and plenty of options. So if your fic collection is getting a little bulky you can zip or rar (which is even more compressed) your fics back up and save yourself a whole lot of space. Or just leave it zipped up as is if you get it from FicSavers.Com I find it to save me about over 60% more space when it's compressed. Amazing! - I now pretty much use this thing if the fic I'm reading looks alright in it, just in case my browser crashes (which it does a lot of).
Format:
• HTML
• RAR (rarred HTML and TXT)
• TXT
• ZIP (zipped HTML and TXT)

WebSiteZip Packer

This very cool program will allow you to save HTML fics into EXE programs for offline reading! Basically it takes the HTML files and adds a browser to them. It's not going to save you any KBs but it's still an awesome find. This will only work on fics that have an Index file or fics linked together, and on a single-file fic that is saved in it's own folder.
Format:
• HTML

Do you know of some similar software? Tell me about it! I really want to know!
