I realize this maybe OT for even the OT-Chatter list, but I need to 
bounce an HP related website idea off of all of you. I am new to the 
fandom (been active online for a month) and I obviously came in here 
knowing nothing about how the HP online community works. I don't by 
any means claim to be an expert now, but I have sucessfully navigated 
my way around and definitely have a feel for the fandom. 

I was wondering if a website that just kind of hit the high points of 
the "What's what" of the HP online fandom might be of interest. I 
suppose it could be used by anyone actually, but have it kind of 
geared to those who don't know where to go if they are an adult or a 
teen and want to discuss the books or where to find novel length fan 
fiction. I would plan to have links to places like TLC and 
mugglenet.com and maybe some fanfic recommendations and such. 

I haven't really drawn up an outline or anything. I just have been 
thinking about this for the past few days. For the past 5 years I 
have been very involved in the X Files fandom and there were several 
of those types of websites available. I haven't seen any for HP, but 
of course that doesn't mean they aren't out there. 

If this is a stupid idea or there are a million of these sites out 
there I apologize. If there is an interest, please let me know and 
maybe I can recruit a few "oldbies" to give me some insight to make 
my idea a reality. Thanks!
