I wonder if anyone else has noticed the paucity of mature HP 
fanfiction?  It seems to me that most Harry Potter fanfiction (for 
that matter most general fanfiction) is more concerned with venting 
the libidinous instincts of the creator rather than paying homage to 
the original work.  It is all fine and good if you would like to 
snuggle up to Draco (actually it isn't, unless you are 13), but must 
all fanfiction serve to play out sex fantasies?  This is Harry
Potter, 
not the Kama Sutra - it is not a primer for teenage groping.  I have 
been trying, and I know there are other like-minded people out there, 
to write up a short fanfiction or two involving HP characters in
adult 
(not ADULT as in the "industry") situations.  So far I have only used 
the older characters (Sirius, Arthur, Hagrid, etc.) and I have 
attempted to use them in a way that both shows them as adults and 
hopefully entertains.  I hope others will start addressing the need 
for mature fanfiction as well, so that I don't look like a complete 
fruitloop.
If you are interested in seeing what I have written so far, or are 
just bored, you can find my first story here:
