As this group has become my primary source for all things Fanfiction I
thought I might ask for some special assistance here first.
I am working on putting together a small online collection of HP
Fanfic, and I am in need of a few submissions.
The goal of this project is to collect a series of short Fanfictions
that explore a single character from the canon in a new and
interesting way. I hope to compile stories for as many as the HP
characters as possible in an effort to create a "secret history" for
each of them.
The sort of story I am looking for would be short and self-contained
(perhaps up to 3000 words) with only one main character as the focus.
This story would show us something about the character in question
which we have not seen or has not been fully developed yet by JKR.
As for topics or genres or styles, I have no preference (contrary to
what some may believe). Stories dealing with Gilderoy Lockhart
brushing his hair would be as welcome as a recreation of Dumbledore's
defeat of Grindelwald.
At the moment I would like to start with stories involving the older
characters (though I'm sure some will claim Oliver Wood is old enough
for them!), and gradually branch out into character studies of the
younger inhabitants of Hogwarts.
Though I do not expect this project to be as comprehensive as Famous
Wizards of the 20th Century, I hope that it might be both enjoyable
and informative.
I do have several fanfictions already in mind, but I'm waiting to hear
back from their authors... until then if you are having a difficult
time visualizing what I am after, here is a link to my own humble
contribution to fanfiction character study (I'm not going to tell you
who it's about, it's a surprise :P ):

Submissions (links would probably be easier than actual files, if you
have already posted it somewhere), suggestions, comments, and
questions can all be addressed to me at puddlemereunited at yahoo.co.uk
I will try to keep everyone up to date on news of this venture :)
Cheers!
