Kiss The Boy was a slash fiction archive for works containing Harry Potter as one of the characters in the ship. The archive a majority of Harry/Draco fic and did not allow the Harry/Snape pairing. According to the info on the main page, that was because a second popular pairing in addition to Harry/Draco would be too much for the archive to handle.
The archive originally used Storyline archiving software, then switched to the eFiction archiving software.
Welcome to Kiss The Boy.What is the archive? Well, it is a Harry-centric archive, meaning all ships must contain Harry Potter, but the story does not have to revolve around him.
We are also not an archive only for Harry/Draco, but for any slash pairing with Harry in it.
While there are plenty of large fan fiction archives dedicated to all sorts of fandoms, from Fanfiction.net to the adult-oriented AdultFanfiction.net. Harry Potter the series has plenty of archives for just about any make or premise of ships, genres, and all that fun stuff. There is even a wide-birth of slash (male/male) oriented archives.
So, what makes Kiss The Boy so different? Not every pairing is accepted. There is no heterosexuality, no femslash, no Ron/Draco, or Lucius/Snape. None of that, this archive centres on one character only for all of the pairings, perhaps one of the most prolific characters in the entire fandom: Harry James Potter, the protagonist to JK Rowling's books.
Oh, did I mention that we're Harry/Snape free? This is a privately run fan archive supported by my own money. Harry/Draco is perhaps the most popular and largest number of fanfictions on the archive, and a second popular pairing would quickly begin to put a strain on the server. Other than Harry/Draco, the primary foundation of the selection here in the archive are rare and small pairings. And we grow by user requests. :)
That and we're really small. So spread the word, post stories often, and review obsessively!
Love, your host, Data
Categories
- Regular (169) - As close to canon as possible. Current with all published books to date (1-7). When a new book comes out, please update a previous story and mark it with the warning that it was written before the new book.
- Alternate Universe (20) - Also known as AU is for extreme deviations from what is considered basic canon. These are stories where maybe the Potter's survived, or Harry was sorted in Slytherin. Their alteration from the books must be severe in someway. Sirius just being alive doesn't count. If you just discount the fifth or sixth book, it should still be placed in the Regular category with warnings. These category is for extreme AU's only.
- Non-Magical (7) - Once and a while a good story without magic just fills the void. Rather than putting a story without magic in the AU, please put them there. See what you can do. Try and be as close to the major stories, or just go out of this world. Doesn't matter to any of us.
- Albus Severus & Scorpius (2) - This is a separate category just for Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy.
- Potter/Malfoy Cross Generation (1) - There shall be one Potter and one Malfoy, where both are male. If and only if they are not from the same generation --- not that sounds like a good logical proposition. This pairing is for Cross Generation Potters and Malfoys. The admin would like to bribe you all to writing some.
