some shameless self-promotion (or: giving back to fandom)
Several months ago, I started a huge project to help revive a segment of fandom supporting Harry Potter slash fanfiction - Beloved Enemies or HarryLu if you please. I've been consuming Harry/Lucius fanfic for years, and one day I found myself thinking why not give back?
Following that thought, I sat down and researched the beginnings and evolution of the ship, up until the decline in activity on LJ and other websites. It made me sad to find out about the lost archives and defunct sites hosting art and fanfic, but that's also what inspired me to create a blog dedicated to this beautiful pairing.
That's how Kings of the Wheel came to be. The title borrowed from one of my favourite fics, written by kennahijja, I created the blog roughly six months ago. I've been working on it continuously ever since, but recently felt I shouldn't keep it secret anymore... Thus the self-promotion.
I'm going to unveil the blog on 3 July, 2015 (Friday) by posting the updated masterlist of Harry/Lucius fanfiction. In the future I plan to use the blog to rec fanfic too. I don't aspire to create a new online community but rather an archive of sorts, one where people can follow the latest of HarryLu. Feel free to comment with your impressions, advice or suggestions for improvement.
Edit: The blog was transferred to Wordpress in 2016, so I replaced the link above.
See you around!
