Is this for Literotica? Age restrictions might be an issue - I seem to recall hearing about stories being disallowed for characters who are canonically under-18 (as Hermione is for most of the series) even if the story has an "after they grew up" setting.
 
Yeah, if it's for Lit, you're probably outta luck. There are reams of rejected Harry Potter franchise stories.

yes 'I have heard' that also...but is it true? FWIW, Hermonie is now 25 and in 'graduate school'. So...you up for a read?

We do not publish celeb/fanfic stories in which the characters are artificially aged - that is, under 18 years old in reality or in the source material, but made to be over 18 for the story.

All characters must be 18 years of age or older at some point in the story, movie, television show, video game, manga, or anime upon which your story is based.

The brief flash-forward at the end of the last one doesn't seem to count, when it comes to Harry Potter.

I did a quick search on the archives for "+harry +potter". Lots of Emma Watson celeb stories, a few more that referenced Harry Potter one way or another, but on the first page of hits I didn't see anything that appeared to be actual Harry Potter fanfic. So I strongly suspect those are being filtered.

So...you up for a read?

I wish I could say yes, but I spent most of this weekend procrastinating on my current work in progress, and I really need to get that under control before I put my hand up for other stuff. Sorry :-/
 
hmm. Harry was not 18 at the end, 17 and 9 months, but Hermione was a nearly a year older.

Hermione's birthday is on 19 September 1979
Harry Potter was born on July 31, 1980

oh well.

Yeah, it does technically fit within the rules that RejectReality posted, if you write about Hermione near the end of the series. But it's close enough to the line that I'd want to run it by Laurel first, to save possible wasted effort. (Unless you're prepared to post it elsewhere if it gets bounced here.)
 
It would be good to see a post to the discussion board if a story with Hermione in a sexual situation was accepted here. I would think that the character would forever be categorized in underage in the fictional character world.

You could use your own characters, maybe, rather than bolting on to the back of somebody else's work?

Emma Watson may be cute now, but that's Emma Watson, the actress. For the bulk of Harry Potter, the character Hermione is a young teenager. So writing her as a twenty-five year old probably won't fly here on Lit, given the fundamental fan-fic rule: don't age up from the original character's "established" ages from the main body of work.

I suppose Celebrity Fiction is another place to go if a story is about Emma Watson, but what's the poor woman done to deserve smut being written about her?
 
I've done a little digging, but damn me if I can find the threads I remember that specifically deal with the HP universe, and why it's something of a special case where even characters that do squeak over 18 at some point in the original material still won't pass muster.

Can't find any of the threads where people complained about them being rejected, either. I'm coming up blank, even though I knew those discussions have happened, and I even think Laurel chimed in at some point.

I'd say Google is failing me, but honestly, my keywords so far have been pretty weaksauce. I'll keep puzzling over that, and see if I can't mine some of this stuff out of the archives.

Bramblethorn's search is an important datapoint, though. With a franchise so popular, and an 18-watch actress involved with the live action portrayal, not having those stories in the archive points to them not being posted, rather than them not being written. The amount of NSFW material related to the franchise elsewhere on the internet demonstrates that it's being produced. There's no reason to believe Lit would be any different.

I recall a discussion on this, too, but like you, buggered if I know when. At least a year or more ago, I reckon, and I too remember a point of order made by Laurel.
 
astuffedshirt_perv said:
perhaps this one? But just like this thread, a lot of supposition and the same points.
Click to expand...
No, something in the last year or two, I reckon.

The same points? Yes, coz we're reflecting some knowledge of the site policy with regards to fan-fiction - it's one of the few things the site owner, Laurel, is very consistent on, which is why you don't find much Hermione content here.

But you can submit your story, sure, go for it - it's up to Laurel whether it gets published or not. We're just saying the odds might not be the best, is all.
 
The threads I'm thinking of were in this forum, and in the AH. If I'm remembering right, Laurel's comment wasn't on an actual HP thread, but a fan-fic thread concerning some other property, where the point of order arose.

Electricblue does have a point. If you doubt we're correct, you can always submit it. The only penalty for a rejection is a rejection. If that happens, then you'll have the rejection notice as definitive information. If you post it here afterward, we'll have a more recent, easier to locate reference to point to the next time the question arises.
 
Regarding the permissibility of fan fiction, does anyone know if Laurel takes into account the position of the original author? JK Rowling, for instance, is, from what I understand, OK with fan fiction that is true to the characters, but she is opposed to "adult" fan fiction such as what's being discussed here. Although enforcement on this site may be unlikely, technically it's copyright infringement, and she could enforce her rights here if she wanted to. She has infinite resources, after all.
 
There's being loyal to Lit, and then there's limiting your creativity to fit within the boundaries of Lit's content guidelines.

When a story steps outside those lines, it can't be posted here. Having another venue for those stories means they aren't sitting on your computer, longing for an audience.

Hardly disloyalty when you're only posting work that you can't post here anyway, ya know? Even if you do decide to cross-post most of your work, you could leave some stories exclusive to Lit. Then, fans in other places could be drawn to work they can't get anywhere else. You get a place to post work that's not Lit compatible, and Lit gets a little fan traffic from you that they probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

Win, win.

I do something similar, except I have exclusive stories on all of the sites I post on, in all three pen names.

As to the fanfic site, I know I heard recently that they were cracking down on some explicit erotica. It seemed to be hit and miss, but some stuff was getting taken down. Better off sticking with strictly erotica sites that allow it.

rejected! So now we know for sure. The (good parts of the) rejection:

----------
Dear Writer...

We do not publish J. K. Rowling, Simpsons, or Disney fanfiction.

Thanks for your time, and look forward to reading you again!
Laurel & Manu
Literotica.Com
----------
 
And, there we have it!

Nice to have an additional property and a brand that are off limits included in the rejection notice. Good post to point to for a multitude of fanfic questions in the future.
