If you want to find good Harry Potter fanfiction, head over to

www.darklordpotter.net

FF.net has over 450.000 stories, shifting through those are almost impossible so here are a bunch of guys (me included) who have created a library of sorts. I know the name sounds kind of geeky but it's actually a really nice forum vene outside the HP related stuff with great political discussions etc.

Oh god... FF.net...

The only set of fanfiction that I'll ever be willing to acknowledge as real writing is from Agent Orange

Haven't you heard? I'm not an ex-progamer. I'm not a poker player. I'm not an admin of the site. I'm mother fucking Rekrul.

I just uploaded my entry to the 2010 Blizzard writing contest. I was not a winner, so be forewarned that the writing quality may not be particularly great, as this is only the second story I've ever written of this length. I hope it's at least entertaining.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6554772/1/

Submitted description: In the darkest depths of a Zerg hive, a lone Terran Marine—captive and subjected to the horrors of infestation—battles the Hive Mind for possession of his sanity.

+ Show Spoiler +
I wrote the story before Wings of Liberty was released so some things may not align with WoL. For instance, I used my own take on Infestation to explain the change from the sc1 infested terrans to the sc2 brand. I'm well aware that in WoL they are still using a hyper-evolutionary virus, not the method I describe, but I play that off as being just one method of many.

+ Show Spoiler [konamix fanfiction] +

Smix came walking out of the bathroom with merely a tower wrapped around her. Taking a long shower helped relax her mind, especially when Konadora and her had been away from each other for most of the break. Her boredom had hit a whole new level, and while their phone conversations were interesting as always, seeing each other in person was sorely missed. She sighed as she stared at the phone once more, hoping for her love to call already. Surprisingly, it rang just then as if to answer her pleads.


“Heyy baby, whats up”, Konadora said with a chuckle.
“I was just hoping you’d call!” she replied happily.
“Well can you do me a favour and check outside your door for something I left there?”
“Ooo what is it?!”
“You’ll see”


Smix jumped off the couch and bounded for the door with eager. She was astounded when Konadora quickly put her into an embrace once she opened it. Who knew who was the most surprised one, Konadora seeing Smix in a towel, or Konadora seeing Smix standing outside of her door?!


“You’re…here!”
“Oh it gets better… I have a surprise!”
“Hang on… I have to change before you go crazy!”


Afterwards, as they sat down on the couch, he leaned forward and clasped her hands together with his.


“Close your eyes and lean back”, he whispered gently.


After what seemed like an excruciating long time, he finally told her to open her eyes.
Inside the room were at least a dozen white lit candles, with all the lights off except the glow from the melting wicks. A single rose lied on top of the television set.


“Your parents are gone, your siblings are out shopping, why not use the time wisely? Happy New Years m’dear”, he said with a little grin on his face.


“And a Happy New Years to you too!” she replied in wonder with a long kiss. Sweet and tender, just the way he liked it. He held it long, and without resisting, they continued as he slowly let her lie down. As this happened, he got on top of her, feeling her waist and inching his hands up slowly like a tease. Her body moved along with his hands, almost urging him to explore further up. She moaned slightly in anticipation, until he was finally all the way up and massaging her breasts. Perfect. From now and den, he would massage the left, to the right.


With a small turn, she got on top of him now, still exploring his mouth with her tongue.
By now, her hands were in his shirt up to his shoulders and slowly going down, from the back with one hand to his front, rubbing his dick up and down in a unhurried pace. From time to time, she quickened the movement, exciting him for the pleasure to come.


Before she knew it, he was back on top yet again, sliding one of his hands into her jeans. He could feel her thong becoming more and more wet against his touch as he rubbed her clit. His hand moved at an unsteady pace to keep her aroused, sometimes slowing down, sometimes quickening rapidly in a circular motion. She let out a slightly muffled moan as he continued to slip his hand in, his middle finger sliding along the edges of her opening up and down, almost going in from the wetness. Her gasps of eager were becoming louder and louder until he suddenly stopped.


“Wanna go to your room?” he said in a soft voice.
“Yes”, she whispered back.


Once they got to her bed, Smix pressed him quickly against beddings, their tongues entwined passionately once more. She took off his shirt and kept going with the kisses until he did the same to her, taking off her tank top and her bra. Her jeans slid off once he unbuttoned them and he took a quick glance, getting more aroused by the sight of her tight clinging grey thong. His pants came off next with his ever worn shorts, and they resumed with the exploring, their hands going everywhere.


Konadora slowly took his kisses elsewhere, edging down her body, his tongue giving her erected nipples a flick. The other breast was massaged, the atmosphere feeling more erotic by the second. As he got to her thong, he flirtatiously took it off and rubbed her clit a little more.


“Relax.”


His tongue slowly licked her clit from the bottom to the top, with his hands spreading her legs out. Konadora also sucked on it gently, moving his head left and right. She moaned in pleasure, almost as if she was asking for more. The juice from her aroused state seeped into his mouth as he kept going. He loved it. He explored her pussy deeply, her groans telling him to speed it up a little. As her breathing quickened, he slid one finger in her, flicking it everywhere inside her before he added another and vibrated. Her body was moving all over, her gasps showing her exhilaration. He moved his fingers more deeply, causing her to put a pillow over her head while she let out a whine. Her muffled breathing was getting quicker and quicker, almost reaching her climax. Smix felt waves of pure pleasure were soaring through her, as her body fought the urge to contract.


She swiftly got up and put her lips on his, pushing him down. She pulled off her boxers and slid her hand around his very erect dick, moving it up and down with a motion before she put out her tongue against the tip. He moaned a little, wanting more. Smix began to suck with pressure, her head moving back and forth as the top half of his dick slid in and out of her mouth. Amazing. As he held his breath, it was all he could to prevent himself from bursting. She continued, her tongue sliding along the edges even while doing this.




With his hands along her body, he turned her around so she could continue while he ate her out. Her legs were over his head now, her wet opening in sight. Smix moaned louder and louder as his tongue went as deep as it could go, until he took it out and put in his fingers again. She took his dick out of her mouth and tried to steady herself against the vibration of her insides, until she groaned and contracted all over, her vagina tight over his fingers from the orgasm. After catching her breath, Smix continued to suck again, seemingly stronger than ever. He knew he could just let her satisfy him entirely right now and just climax, but a side of him wanted more.



Smix stopped as he slowly got up and kissed her, embracing her once more. He looked into her eyes with love.


He placed her down once more, her nipples pressed firmly against his chest as they kissed deeply, her thighs parting once she began to relax. She noticed his erection had now seated itself comfortably along the lips of her vagina, arousing both his and her thoughts immediately. Konadora got up a little, their breathing heavy as ever. He moved his hips so his dick was now in front of her very wet opening, massaging it by moving left and right. With a slow push forward, he filled her until he was halfway in and took it out. She gasped from the hint of excitement before he filled her completely.


In a steady rhythm, Konadora pumped his dick in and out of her as Smix shut her eyes, her mind full of ecstacy. Their gasps and moans filled the room with a sense of passion as the night rolled on. His pace got quicker as her body rocked harder against his, her head tilted back as Konadora ran one of his hands in her hair. Smix sighed in stunted sounds as her love gave her neck a flurry of wet kisses. After what seemed like forever, she got on top of him, her eyes still half closed from the sensation of a moment ago.


Up and down, up and down, while rocking back and forth with a smooth motion. They continued into the night, their blanket now over them. Even so, the warmth of their bodies together could have been enough to wade off the coldness of the dark. Konadora whined a little from holding it all in, but the need to satisfy her was stronger, as he got back on top. With the steady rhythm forgotten, he went harder and faster, hoping to keep going on and on and on like the Energizer Bunny. Finally, they both reached their climax in their different ways. Even so, Konadora didn’t want to leave Smix’s warm and inviting body, so he put her arms around her.


They both looked at it other smiling silently, tired but relaxed from the amazing night.


He looked into her eyes and with a little naughty grin, chuckled softly.
“So much for a New Year’s kiss!”

You're looking at the wrong section. The crossover section in particular. Try http://www.fanfiction.net/book/# and you'll notice that Harry Potter has over 489,000 stories, as opposed to the 10,000 crossovers.

To find 'good' stuff, the best bet is to search for communities and base it on subscriber count, otherwise. But be warned, if you're looking for a good story, quite literally 99% of all given stories will be crap

Oh, wow. I feel stupid for going into the crossover section. ;D
Somehow not surprised that theres almsot 500k stories, though. Some of these people are really dedicated, eh?

Still, that makes wading through this that much harder O_O

Basic way of filtering out generic crap with little effort

Length filter: >60,000 or >100,000
Turing off age rating only for the brave-hearted though it does also remove most of the hidden jewels.

Look at the summary/main character tab and immediately ignore fictions with following words: "OC", "sequel", [Random word]![Character] ex. Idiot!Harry (only for the Harry Potter section, other popular sections have their own stupid classification system for the consumption of masses), male parings. Finally use basic common sense (poor, not grammatical, and casual summaries should be immediate tip-off).

Things to look for: Chapter/Word proportion (more words per chapter, generally the better), my personal experience is that good stories generally tend to have less reviews than generic crap ones.

When you find an actually good writer, going to their author's page and searching through their favourite section is also decent idea though such method does not frequently work.

A lot of good stuff is on there if you can find it.

I wrote once for Avatar the Last Airbender (under a different pseudoname though....so you can't find ZnF there ^^). I'm hoping to start again after I'm done with college apps. ^^
