Harry Potter fanfic - best ways to find the best?

[southernscotland]

Hello! 

Anybody have hints on how to find the best fanfic? Of course, I love 
FictionAlley and all its incarnations, plus Sugarquill. Additionally, 
I have subscribed to most of the Yahoo! groups.  

However, authors also do post on that Humongous Bigheaded site called 
fanfiction.net. It currently drives me crazy. 

Has anyone here subscribed to their enhanced service? If so, would 
you recommend it to help "sift through the masses"? (as of now, they 
list over 35,000 Harry Potter stories!)

The enhanced service features advanced search, but at least part of 
that seems to have been placed on the free site, too, recently.  

Any and all navigation and other tips appreciated! Thanks!

seems to be taking its own sweet time)
