A community celebrating stories which have created an elaborate world or culture that Jo teased in Harry Potter. Stories often revolve around Harry and focus on politics, military, and/or pureblooded society. (I focus on three elements - world-building, writing, and plot. Sometimes a story may suffer in one or two but excel in the other.) If you're interested in being a staff member, PM me. Help would be appreciated. |
