Searching for G (or PG) rated fanfic

Dumbledad,

fanfiction.net will let you search by rating, but the quality is 
really hit or miss. A while back there was a thread in Fiction Alley 
Park about good G-Rated fics, you can find it here:

Narcissa Malfoy has some excellent G-rated recs on her Live Journal

IMO, GoF and PoA are really PG-13. You will find a lot of fanfics 
with that rating that are just as tame as PoA or GoF. PG-13 is a 
wide range and there are some who rate their fics PG-13 instead of 
PG because they think no one will read PG or G and there are some 
who really should be caling their PG-13 fics R. So, if a fic looks 
like it might be interesting, but is PG-13, go ahead and read it 
first. You may find perfectly fine PG-13 fics out there you can 
share with your daughter.  Since so many fics have to do with 
romance (of all ratings), the bigger challenge may actually be 
finding fics that aren't full of sappy romance a ten year old 
probably wouldn't be interested in.

Best of luck!
