adjusted requirements after much appreciated feedback
so we are now all on the committee that sets the reading list for classes at hp fanfiction university. let's pretend that there are three 100 level classes about h/d and two 200 level classes. we have to decide what fics must be read in the courses. the courses are as follows:
hd101- introduction to harry/draco fanfiction
this course involves the reading and discussion of the following
1. two multichaptered staples of over 90,000 words. one must be during hogwarts and one must be post-hogwarts.
2. 10 one-shots of less than 12,000 words: 2 fluff, 2 angst, 2 flangst, 1 humor, 1 pwp, 1 pre-slash and 1 crack.
hd102- multichaptered h/d fics
this course involves the reading and discussion of 3 long fics. all must exceed 105,000 words.
hd103- advanced harry/draco fanfiction
this course involves the reading and discussion of the following
1. one fandom classic of over 175,000 words.
2. two multichaptered war-fics, must be over 50,000 words.
hd201- short novels, series, and drabbles
this course involves the reading and discussion of the following
1. three series of no less than 3 stories set in the same universe. at least one of the series must have 5 stories or more.
2. two short novels between the length of 12,000 and 75,000 words.
3. ten drabbles/very short stories of less than 650 words.
hd202- fringe reading in harry/draco fanfiction
this course involves the reading and discussion of the following
1. one mpreg fic, must be over 35,000 words.
2. one veela fic, must be over 35,000 words.
3. one au fic, must be over 35,000 words.
4. choose two dark fics- the story may include warnings of possibly disturbing topics such as rape, torture, bdsm, incest, extreme violence, main character death, etc... choose from the following- there will be a list of 5-7 choices.
so what we need to do is look at the above reading requirements and decide which fics the students should be reading. it is my request that each and every one of you look at the class requirements above and tell me which stories you think should be on the reading list. if you don't know or haven't read stories in one of the categories, feel free to skip it and just say that you don't know or haven't read enough to know. when choosing fics, try to include stories from many different authors and many different styles of writing. also try to include some relatively new stories as well as some of the very earliest h/d stories that helped shape the h/d shipping landscape from the very beginning. if after looking through the class requirements you feel that i am missing some important category of h/d stories, please be sure to let me know and i will try to include it in the final class reading lists.
after i feel i have gotten sufficient enough responses, i will go through your ideas and using my excellent judgement, consider all of your suggestions and come up with the finalized reading list and post it. i thank you all very much for you valuable input and look forward to seeing your recommendations.
