The Alexandra Quick Series is a series of OC-centric fanfiction set in the Harry Potter universe in an AU version of North America. It follows the adventures of Alexandra Quick, an eleven-year-old Muggleborn on her journey to learn magic.
Contents
There are current five books in the series, with a sixth book, Alexandra Quick and the Wizarding War in-progress.
Relationship to the Harry Potter books
As you know, I originally wrote my stories with the idea that they would remain, in theory, "canon compliant" with the Potterverse. With all the post-series material Rowling has released, and of course, the Fantastic Beasts movies, AQ stopped being canon compliant a while ago, at least with regards to the entire deuterocanonical universe. But I have still more or less treated the original seven-book series as a sort of Bible. Which is to say, while I've certainly added things to the setting that were at most barely suggested in the original books, I've avoided doing things that would flatly contradict them.[1]
Reactions and Reviews
The Alexandra Quick series by Inverarity. It's a Harry Potter fanfiction series with an original cast of characters set in probably the best interpretation of wizarding America I've seen.Each novel in the series written in it's entirety before being published, so the prose, editing and storytelling are all well beyond any other fanfiction I've read (and beyond some published novels I've read). So much effort is clearly put into every facet of them, from the world building to the character writing, that it's amazing the author didn't just convert them into an original novel series and go for publication. They're easily good enough.
In a way, the series kind of ruined other fanfiction for me. Since I read it, I haven't been able to get into any other series, including my previous favourites, since it made my expectations for fanfiction so much higher.[2]
