Twice As Nice is a fansite for James and Oliver Phelps, the actors who portray Fred and George Weasley in the Harry Potter films. The site was founded in 2005 and went offline around 2009.
It contained a fanfiction archive with both RPF and FPF, a fanart gallery, and other fanworks.
Twice As Nice was featured as Site of the Month at Magical Menagerie in April 2008:
I thought it only fitting (since it is April, aka National Humor Month! and April Fools day, which is also the Weasley twin’s birthday) to honor a James and Oliver Phelps site! I chose Twice as Nice, which is one of the best sites for James and Oliver! They update a lot and have lots of great content! Make sure to give the site a visit!!![1]

Twice As Nice: A History
It all started with a forum. That forum wasn't the forum you are all familiar with today. It was an old one made by Kate for the site Double Trouble. Those were happier times. Then for some reason Double Trouble went down and didn't come back up for over two months. In that time attendance dwindled, tensions rose, and the forum was shut down. There was still another! A young, sugar-hyped girl, named Kitty, made a forum before the old one closed down. Still, that was not enough to rescue what was lost, but it kept spirits high.
She later joined up with the site, "Mischief Squared." But after some creative differences, they disbanded from each other and Kitty was left without a site. She tried using free websites to get the twins across to the public, but that didn't work. No one respected free sites.
So after being urged by her best friend, Silesia, and one name the site contest later, Twice as Nice was forged. Along the way Kitty met many people how would later join her to help promote the twins. Then, Renata came and made a new layout. Now before you lies the finished product of her labor.
Then because of bandwidth issues we changed to PowWebs, which has been very good to us so far. Then everything was great. CPE was formed and the everything flourished. We even got a super new layout. Then dark times fell upon the land of Phelps website making. CPE split up because causes not to be discussed outside the circle. Mischief Managed and Twice As Nice soon after the split became twin sites. Mischief Managed donated some of it's old icons and pds files so we could redo our video section. Mischief Managed ran into some money issues and had to close down.
Side note: Kitty has met James and Oliver several times since starting the site. Every visit is filled with insightful conversations that help better the site.[3]
