Varying degrees of reality

robkaiote, a RL friend of mine, has a post about the time he was expelled from school for witchcraft.

So... is it just me, or is there no RPS in HP? I've only come across it once, and given the vastness of the fandom (and its proclivity for taboo-busting), that seems strange. Is there a seamy underworld of HP RPS that I just don't know about?

If there isn't, why not? einini suggested that the lack may stem from the young age of the primary actors, but... knowing this fandom, I frankly doubt that would stop anybody.

Any thoughts?

In case anyone's missed it, villainny is hosting a mass anonymous crush confession. If you're an HP person, it's worth a look, 'cause it's already up to 589 (!) comments, and one of them just might be about you.

Orgy organizer: You just named me in the same sentence with three phenomenal writers, maybe in the top ten of the fandom. Do you have any idea how good that makes me feel? Whoever you are, you rule. And I'm glad my writing makes you feel... like that. ;)

Timidly in the wings: *smooch*

Good speller: Maybe I should have a mnemonic song, like Mississippi. Do you think that would help?

Paranoid stalker: The calls are coming from inside the house!

Person who is possibly less anonymous than she could be: *lick* The fact that we don't live closer to each other is wronger than a wrong thing.


Dude, so many people have crushes on switchknife. Switch is the coolest kid in school.

HP-RPS- I tried out the same hypothesis the other night (not on LJ), and was told oh no, there's lots, including several communities, and lots by young writers about the teens. But I haven't gone on the search yet.

Someone in that thread on Isis' journal about the size and structure of the fandom linked to a comm that tracks & lists archives. Also I know there's been a link recently to a list of all LJ HP comms: probably in my memories.
