HP Flashback was a Harry Potter recs community on LiveJournal active from 2004 to 2005. It was intended for het, slash, and gen fanfiction "from all corners of the HP fandom".[1] Posting was by invitation only.
The community was run by ausmac. Other reccers included bethbethbeth, luthien67, scribbulus_ink, somniesperus, musesfool, tboy, deirdre_riordan, saturn92103, raina_at, gaeta, and meredyth_13.
The last rec was posted in July 2005. Ausmac announced on July 7 that she was looking for a new mod to take over the community.[2] The community remained inactive for several years then was deleted.
Atrata's 2005 Harry/Snape ship manifesto linked to hp_flashback's memories as a "good [place] to look if you're just diving into the pairing".[3]
About
In the tradition of the original Due South community DSflashback, I have created hp_flashback, a recommendations community for Harry Potter fan fiction.When a fandom has been around for a while, it naturally enough allows the creation of "works of merit", that is, fiction of quality which is considered "classic" or excellent. Journals such as dsflashback and tpm_flashback and tsflashback allow a series of "reccers" to posts links to these stories, comment on them, remind those of us who have been in the fandom for a while about their excellence - and show the newer members the better works the fandom has produced.
For the first 4 weeks perio bethbethbeth, luthien67 and scribbulus_ink will be recommending such stories for our reading pleasure.
The community's membership is limited to those people who are the current reccers (and my goodself) but I invite anyone who would enjoy participating to friend the journal, and comments and input are always welcome.
Once the 4 week run for our initial reccers is over I will be looking for new people to recommend, and I'll announce that further down the track.
The first reccomendations should appear towards the end of the week, and will then come out regularly.
