This Love Story, previously titled Tainted, was a Draco/Hermione fanfiction recommendation site.

"Previously known as Tainted, it was originally Steph's idea; she opened a site with a list of recommendations near the end of 2004. However, she did not have the time to manage it, so Sharon took over the site and expanded it to what it is today. Created for recommending the best Draco/Hermione fanfiction on the web, ThisLoveStory.com was purchased on January 20, 2006 and opened on February 14, 2006. The site was originally known as Tainted and was hosted at a domain I bought with a friend, Icy-Perfection.Net (do you smell a certain DM in that domain name? ;D), which no longer exists; a few months later, I moved it to my other domain, Snogadelic.Net, where it was hosted for about a year. This Love Story was born when I decided to close my blog on Snogadelic.Net, and it is essentially the exact same site as Tainted, only "new and improved." The header of first layout of the site was considerably better than any other one I had previously designed for Tainted, and the site itself also had much cleaner coding. Although, the same cannot be said about the current version of this site, as my Photoshop skills have significantly deteriorated due to my lack of attentions on design and the web. I had to completely do over the site again because I forgot the password to the program I used to update the list of fanfiction. Many fanfics that I recc'ed were lost, and some were cut because of prior questionable judgement on my part or simply because they no longer exist at their addresses."
