Anyone reading any good fics?
I'm reading Recnac Transfaerso by Celebony at the moment. I've read it before, but Its one of the few I constantly re-read. It is a brilliant read and I suggest that you give it a chance if you haven't yet!
Now, what is everyone else reading?

Isolation by Bex-chan, it's a Hermione/Draco fic that's really well done. It's not complete yet though, the author updates every month or so, but she never disappoints with her updates. I've been following this story for about a year and a half.

sbmcneil's Remember. That's what I'm currently rereading. It's finished just the other day, so I thought I would give it a reread. His other fic, Unintended Consequences, is also a good read.
If you don't mind Harry/Ginny pairing, I got several recommendations that run the gauntlet of sweet and fluffy to dark and Harry and Ginny are both dead, and they're the main characters! Let me know if you want to read any of them.
I'm pretty sure I've heard of Recnac Transfaero before, though I don't think I've read it...

I'm reading Bella the Strange's Magic of Torchwood a HP/TW crossover. It is pretty good and has the cast of Torchwood deaging and going back in time to attend Hogwarts. It almost has 100 chapters and is defintely worth the read if you have time.

I've also read and re-read the Recnac Transfaerso fic a lot of times!  But I'm reading Family Means More Than Blood by WingsOfADream right now. I've read it about five times already but I'm always re-reading it, it's so good. |

Gryffindors Never Die

Prodigy
AU- Given up after that fateful night, a prodigious Harry Potter ends up in America, working as a Lab Tech/Federal Agent. Now his family wants him back, but can he trust their motives? Can he trust his own? Multiple crossovers, list in 1st chapter.

I'm actually reading a Harry/Ginny fic situated somewhere in those 19 missing years. Although it's mostly in the point of view of an outsider (a muggle or possibly a squib), it's been surprisingly good so far.
Strangers at Drakeshaugh by Northumbrian

I'm re-reading for the third time an AU story called In George's Eyes by Jedi Goat. It takes place during OOTP and it's a great story about family coming together in hard times.

An End to Innocence a Harry Potter Story by gotimtim. A story that starts after the war. It is kind of dark, its about the Death Eaters trying to get revenge for Voldemort's death. The Author just finished it yesterday.
I'm also reading Laws Change Lives by YoAngel4E which is about a marriage law that is passed right before the trio goes on the Horcrux hunt and Hermione has to get married. She still goes on the Horcrux hunt, but I'll leave it at that, you will have to read it for yourself. It is a one of a kind story! Really REALLY good!
Oh, and any of Wizards_Pupil's stories, they are AWESOME! I always am re-reading those.

I'm reading a crossover between Yugioh and Harry Potter. It's the only decent crossover that I've seen in a while. It's called History of a Teacher by Famous Fault. What happens is at the final duel between Yugi and Atem, Lucius Malfoy kills all of Yugi's friends and Atem is stuck with him.
A few years later, Yugi is the new History of Magic teacher but it is more of a History of Muggles. Umbridge gets suspicious and it's really good. I love that story.

I read through Recnac non-stop, as I usually do, along with its sequel. I'm now looking a Gravitation fic called Rinse. It's a nice little oneshot that deals with the aftermath of a certain event that is glossed over in the anime and manga. |

I'm currently reading Naruto Shippuden: Namikaze's Return Redux! by pokemaster12. It's got several spelling mistakes but they are easily ignored over the plot. It is a Naruto/Harem in a way though.

That story is one big cliche. The way he writes all of his stories make me want to choke something. Now...at the moment I'm currently reading 'The Substitute' by 'Bajab'. Its a different take on Harry having a family. Under 40k words; I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a quick read. Not a one-shot, but a single-year story (4th) |

The sex in his stories really took a backseat when it comes to his plot and the lemons were well spaced so it didn't seem like a total sex fic. It also helps that he is a committed author and writes a ton of chapters. His Fullmetal Shinobi fic was a very good slight crossover and was well written. |

BajaB and Northumbrian I've heard of and read some of their works... most of the others mentioned thus far? Not really. Huzzah! Too bad I have trouble reading nonH/G fics. Though I can and have slogged through a few... like Andrew Joshua Talon's stuff like B for Boom. A hilarious oneshot with Ron and Luna.
Here are some I recommend:
Belcris' The Crow: Pheonix Rising (Not for the young'uns or faint of heart)
Darth Marrs' Unspeakable Things (Lockhart isn't a fraud!)
iluvfanfics1' Need (Where Harry won't rescue Ginny till she agrees to marry him.)
Lady Alinor' The World As We Knew It (Hey, Harry's parents are alive! Too bad Tom is too.)
megamatt09' Inverted (Where Tom Riddle is Headmaster. And Albus heads the Cult of the Pheonix.)
moshpitstories' Natural Order (Time travel - with a side of mental breakdown!)
Nightwild7000' Little Match Ginny (Tragic Sad Tale - BYOT[Bring Your Own Tissue])
rbackwards' Phantom Limb (Unique style - Meet Harry's Aunt Arthur.)
ShaperV' Time Braid (Naruto fic, starring Sakura!)
Voice of the Nephilim' The Unforgiving Minute (24 hours to change time on the day of the third task)
Worldmaker' Furious Angels (Ron gets the diary)
Sovran' Meaning Of One (Found on SIYE; complete first book, second almost. Each over 600 pages)
Parakletos' And On The Eigth Day? (Also found on SIYE, Slytherin Ginny!)
hgfan1111's and kb0's stuff are all good too. Just some starting suggestions. Most everything I recommended are completed works. Only Sovran's isn't. The apostrophe marks the end of the author's name and the beginning of the title of the work I recommend. I'll say more later.

Some of Kenchi's stuff is all right, though I just don't like his writing style compared to other author's. Poke's stuff is just makes me sit back and go, "Yup...yup...you save that rape victim (every other girl his Naruto lays eyes on is his, except for the rape victim, of course)...mhm...Uzumaki-Namikaze, what else is new...18 wives to revive his clans, why am I not surprised?" |

I have found THE best fic......sucks that it has been abandoned for 6 years. it is called For Love and Honor by Lanindur Du'Undarian. It is AMAZING! I wish they had continued with it. It does have Dumbledore bashing, but Harry's parents are alive! And Harry gets the girl....if you know what I mean  |

Well in the last couple of days I have been reading the Percy Jackson RtB The Fate Decreed: Reading the Sea of Monsters and it is a really good fic. It is a AU Perlia fic so all the Percabeth fans be warned. It also has some spelling misktakes here or there but thhose do not affect the fic. Heres a link to the author's profile if you want to give the story a try. www.fanfiction.net/u/3243292/Perseia_JacksonThe author also has a femPercy RtB fic that deals with the first book. This is a Nico/femPercy fic but that does not take anything away from the story. It features some good character reactions to the book. |

I am currently reading Laws Change Lives by Yoangel4e. Its a really good Hermione and Ron story. Takes place right before the trio leaves on the hunt but things change a ton. Story sticks pretty close to canon though now its a little AU since its after the war ends. Totally good read. Really into it.

I'm reading Promises Unbroken by Robin4. I love it, it's the second in an AU series where Sirius becomes secret keeper instead of pettigrew, and it's really well written. plot line and everything, which I don't tend to find in this kind of fic! |

I'm reading a Harry Potter and Yugioh crossover called Destiny of a Saviour. It's has great characterization and a good plot. It's a sequel to her previous fic though, so you'd have to read that first. The first one is called a History of a Teacher.

Noncompleted
Arcane Academy. It's a Harry/three othe males. Remus rescues Harry from Dursley and Dumbledore. Harry has a creature inherentence. Harry goes to another school. It's not done yet but it's one of my favorites.
Betrayal's Touch. Harry defeats Voldy and is thrown in prison. The Goblins allow him to use a magical object that grants a wish. Harry goes back into time into the body of his newly born self. He saves his parents and his parents constantly fight aganis Dumbledore. Harry is accepted at a young age to another school. He is a necrmancy prodigy and can summon the king of demons. He decided to go to Hogwarts to make Dumbles believe he is conforming to his wants. Harry has a little sister and its supposed to be a multiple pairing though Remus is the only one that has been revealed. Though I think two are going to be Bill and the Demon king. It's not finished and hasn't been updated in a while. The author told me she hasn't abandoned it though.
To Shape and Change. Snape goes back in time to Harry's first year. He treats Harry better and becomes his guardian. Harry is more powerful and uses parsel magic as a great healing power. He cures werewolfs. Voldermort comes back early.
Unbuttoned. Remus has molested (might of raped I can't really remember). Snape finds out and becomes Harry's guardian. Snape takes Harry away for him to heal. Harry is angry at Hermione cause she kept trying to get Harry away from Snape.
Invisible by DebSlytherin(Something like that). It's a Wrong Twin Who Lived. Harry grows up ignored by his parents in favor of his twin and even younger sister. He sorta moves out and lives with Snapes mother. Everyone eventually comes to hate the Potters when it is found out what they had done. Harry become Snapes apprentice and eventual love interest. Sirius and Remus try to reconcile. Harry makes the Potters poor by becoming the Lord Peverall. Harry's brother kinda becomes abuse by the school and no one notices.
A New Place To Stay by DebsSlytherin. After fourth year Harry lives with Snape. Harry distances himself from Hermione and Ron. Snape and Harry hide their father son relationship because of Dumbledore.(Dumbles bashing)
Blood Ties. Harry find out along with Sirius, Hermione, and Ron that Snape and James was his parents. Those three abandon him. Snape treats him badly. Ron and Hermione nearly kill him. Harry goes to live in seclusion with Remus and Bill. The Board and Amelia investigate the school. Dumbles bashing. Harry/Bill
I have probably hundreds of more if you want more. If you want I can post the links.

Is anyone else dealing with crappy formatting bugs on ff.net? I just logged on and the whole site's formatting is bugging out eith the quick links on the navigation pane being in the left-hand corner.
Update: It seems the site is about to crash because the formatting problem is just getting worst as I type.

I haven't had a problem with ffnet's formatting in the last few hours. I did have a problem getting onto the site a couple of days ago, I kept getting a page that said the connection to the server was reset, but that was cleared up within a few hours.
