Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

Several of the faculty nodded in agreement, even going as far as awarding Harry points for being sensible, much to Greasy's disgust.
