www.fanfiction.net is an archive of stories written by fans of many
different works. There is a huge Harry Potter section, having over 14,000
fan fiction stories.

Most HP fan fictions are set in the Harry Potter universe, and take most of
their characters from the HP series. Jim Ferer's new story "The Letter" has
an interesting slant by supposing that it is all true in our own universe.

PoU is Paradigm of Uncertainty, a series by Lori which is seen as a
benchmark, a level of excellent writing which I think almost matches HP
itself. It's set about ten years after our characters leave Hogwarts, and
gives the story of Harry and Hermione as grown-ups.
