A Question for Fanficcers

[steepholm]

Is there a term in common use to distinguish fics consistent with canon (e.g. "Neville and his Grandmother Pack his Bags the Night before he first goes to Hogwarts") from those that contradict it (e.g. "After the Final Victory of the Death Eaters, Draco decides to Employ Ron Weasley as his Houseboy")?

Thanks, ashkitty! As a matter of interest, did your story follow Bran to Avalon, or stay with Will in Wales? Or both?

It followed Bran, though Will did join him a few chapters in. Bran realise time doesn't pass in the castle beyond the north wind, and basically goes off on a coming-of-age quest so he can grow up. It took some stuff from the rhamantau and Culhwch ac Olwen...they were just about to reach the Stag of Rhedenvre when I got overwhelmed with coursework and let it slide. Now, of course, I know much more than I did then, so it's the one lost fic I still intend to go back and rewrite and finish. The ending is quite different from what I'd originally planned, now that I am more familiar with the sources I'm stealing from!
