Instead of distracting from Gwen’s very good article on Luna by asking about fan fiction, I thought I’d just start a separate post. Use this space to share if you like reading fan fiction or not, why or why not, what sort of fiction you like reading, any particular ships, and especially (for my selfish purposes of finding new fan fiction) any sites you’ve found that you like and use a lot.
I’ll start off. I like reading fan fiction. I generally prefer canon compliant stuff, mostly post-DH stuff, but I do like missing moments from the books as well. Not much into Alternate Universe stuff & really don’t like slash, especially Snarry stuff. Mostly prefer canon ships although anything that seems to work & capture the feel of a character I also appreciate. I’m always looking for good Neville/Hannah, Neville/Luna or Dean/Luna stories.
So, please feel free to share your fan fiction likes and dislikes here and any favorite fics. I’ll post in the comments some of the sites I’ve found useful. Thanks!
Note: Please also note if any sites you recommend are family friendly or not. That is to say, whether or not they have ways of restricting levels of content to age appropriate categories, or speaking plaining, making sure minors can’t get to any naughty bits. 
Thanks!
From Amanda Bell’s article at Examiner.com:
Summit Home Entertainment, the company responsible for the Twilight film, has just announced that Saturday’s sales were, indeed, chart-topping. Over three million copies of the Twilight DVD were sold, and this propelled the DVD to the “Top Five Best First Day Releases in Two Years.”
Welcomed in with Twilight DVD release parties across the nation, along with special surprise guest appearances at several of them by cast members of Twilight and New Moon, the DVD’s success comes as no surprise to many fans. [...]
“We are incredibly appreciative that Twilight fans came out to once again support this film at our midnight events across the nation,” said Steve Nickerson, Summit’s President of Home Entertainment. “With such a successful first day sales, it is apparent that our fans remain passionate about the Twilight saga and want to own a piece of the Edward and Bella story they have come to love. We look forward to the continued success for both the home entertainment and retail sales of this property as a whole.”
The promise of success for the Twilight series was doubtless to the many Twilight fans around the nation and globe, and these record-breaking sales only go to prove that the Twilight series is, indeed, fan-driven.
One of the other four movies was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Exciting news: In addition to presenting twice at Portus 2008, I’ll be speaking twice, as Keynote Speaker, at Convention Alley in Ottawa, ON, June 19-22. This will be an exciting event, held at the University of Ottawa, which will be a great venue for a Harry Potter conference.
One of the two talks will be on Harry Potter and Literacy (I’ll update this post with the title when I’ve decided on it), and the other I have yet to decide on.
I’m looking forward to seeing my friend John Granger again, as he is also a Keynote Presenter for Convention Alley. I’ll also be liveblogging the event, as well as doing a pubcast from there.
You can register for Convention Alley here. I hope to see you there!
