Essence of Valor was a fanfiction archive and resource site for the character Ginny Weasley from the Harry Potter series.
Around 2005, the archive moved from its own domain to Soul's Dream, which also hosted the archive Overcoming Rivalry and the RPG Ostare, and became automated with eFiction software. Though the site originally accepted both het and femslash, the site became exclusively het and gen at the new domain.[1]
