<<Hey Blaise if you could point me in the direction of some good Sirius
fanfic...besides CLS...read it...let me know. Thanks.>>

Well, there are generally two sorts of Sirius fanfic - those about MWPP
in general, of which there are very many, most of which are fairly poor,
and those about Sirius around the time before, during and after he was
in Azkaban. Most of these are the latter.

That said, this is the exception - a story about Sirius long before
Azkaban, and one of the best pieces of Sirius fanfic (or just one of
the best pieces of fanfic, period). Carole's already mentioned it,
but for the benefit of those who don't know it - 'Black Shadow' by CLS,
about how Sirius acquired a flying motorcycle.

A very, very old piece is 'Fidelius' by Amy G. The original and one of
the best descriptions of Sirius' life before and through Azkaban.

'Our Yesterdays are Dusty Death' by Katie Bell, about Sirius' struggle
to keep his own mind in Azkaban, a beautiful story.

'Into the Darkness,' 'A Land of Shadows' and 'The Endless Hour Before
Dawn,' a trilogy by Princess Kate which covers the period before and
through Azkaban.

I've written some Sirius-related stuff myself, so I suppose I shall dare
to mention it here. 'Moony & Padfoot' about Remus looking for Sirius
after he resigns, and 'The League Against Voldemort' about how Sirius'
name was cleared.

All of these stories can be found at www.fanfiction.net. There is a search
function there which will make finding them fairly straightfowards -
the little boxes beside the magnifying glass on the top right-hand side
of the main page.

There is also an archive of Sirius fanfiction which has some but not
all of these stories. This is www.redrival.com/dogstar

Hope that gives you something to read, Carole and any others who are
interested.
