(I hope this is all right. If not, feel free to delete with my sincerest apologies.)

Greetings to all!

I would wager that most of you remember darklord_news, a small journal used for reccing the week's Voldemort and Tom-centric works.

Unfortunately darklord_news is no longer with us. In its place is the new team_darklord.

This is a community that everyone is invited to watch as it houses recs pertaining to Voldemort and Tom-centric works at least once a week. The mods are friendly and promise to give everyone a week's notice if they ever decide to walk off the face of the Earth.

So please watch our new community! We welcome any recs as well!

Updated with Part 5c: In the conclusion of the chapter we’ll finally get to the bottom of the Death Eaters’ power play. Who hired Adrian Pucey to kill Marcus Flint’s girlfriend and for what reason? And in the end, who will gain the profit from this devious little endeavour?

Updated with Part 5b: Bridget, a young Muggle, lost her best friend to a Death Eater attack that was originally intended for her. Now she’s thrown headfirst into the wizarding world, having to deal with strange witches waving wands about, Nightmares (literal ones), more Death Eaters attacking her and a boyfriend who isn’t who he pretends to be. Will he do his best to save her, or is he the one who wanted her dead in the first place?

Hey all :) I was kinda referred (I say kinda cuz it was more of an attempt to get me off her back than a genuine suggestion :P) here and figured I'd check things out, seeing as dark and delicious is right up my alley.

I'm an avid reader (mostly fan fiction these days) for various fandoms, HP being one of my top favs of late, and I write some but have yet to get into the HP fandom. We'll see how that goes *lopsided smile*

I hate intros so I appreciate the questions set. Here goes...

What drew you to the community?
Rec/referral and the fact that it appealed to my darker tastes

What's your favorite ship/s to sail/read/draw?
I generally prefer het pairings, enjoy threesome and moresome stories and will indulge (on occasion) in slash but it's not my favourite thing. I'll read any Hermione/Slytherin pairing - the darker the better. While I do enjoy the occasional bit of fluff, I'm more a middle-of-the-road to dark and dangerous kinda gal.

What would you like to see in this community?
Surprise me! I suppose anything well written, discussions that aren't shallow... I'm open to anything.

For fun, post a quote that reminds you of the theme of the community! It could perhaps be a challenge later on, you never know! 
"Do not stand in a place of danger trusting in miracles."   -Arabian Proverb

I Feel: dorky

I'm a fanfiction reader/writer who has decided its time to actually join some communities :)

What drew you to the community?
My love for dark fanfictions and 'evil' characters.I think fluffy fanfictions and goody goody two shoe characters are boring and annoying.

Whats your favorite ship/s to sail/read/draw?
Harry/Severus Draco/Harry Harry/Voldemort Harry/Blaise Severus/Remus

What would you like to see in this community?
Fanfiction that deals with evil death eaters, but a good Harry. A.K.A Unwilling prisoner

This is a reminder to all those who signed up for the Voldemort Victorious challenge to check your date and make sure you have a fic ready by then. When the fic is posted, be sure to indicate in the Subject Header that your fic is for the challenge.

Sign-ups are still open through January, even as we begin posting.

We will be posting all the stories at darkones. Thank you!

Updated with Offers and Offerings - Part B. Diagon Alley in Flames – but what are the Death Eaters searching for? Will Harry and his friends be in time to save Madam Malkin and Mr Ollivander? What are Harry and Hermione hiding from Ron? Who betrayed the Death Eaters? Is someone playing both sides against the middle? Who is meant to receive the mysterious new wand Ollivander is working on? And what does Tod Macnair’s beautiful girlfriend have to do with all of this?

This is a reminder to sign up for the Voldemort Victorious challenge posted in darkones starting January!

From darkones and darker_destiny

Voldemort Victorious: New Beginnings
Dec. 4 - Jan. 31

In order for something to begin, something else has to end. At the advent of the new year, what better way to celebrate the darker side of Harry Potter. Namely, that thing that will never happen: Voldemort wins. His new reign begins with the new year, surveying his domain, deciding its future.

Now is your time to speculate what might happen under Voldemort's rule. This is the challenge for the next two months. You'll have December to think about it and write the story. I hope that this can stimulate the darkfic community again, especially since I know that we have such good writers.

The Rules:

1) Fics have to be at least 2000 words. This will provide ample time to develop a plot.

2) I advise that the fics be completed by Dec. 28. I'll have a list of dates in January that you can sign up to post on. I hope that we can manage one fic a day.

3) Subject matter is up to you. You can even write humor. The only caveat is Voldemort Victorious. All ratings, pairings, kinks/squicks and genres accepted, including crossovers and AUs.

4) Unfortunately, the nature of this challenge and fic posting makes it impossible to get an extension. :) So, yes, you can move back the date of posting if you are unable and if there are any dates left.

5) ETA: You can write up to three fics, but you'd have to sign up for more than one day. :)

( Sign-up calender )

I'm a fanfiction reader/writer who is WAY behind the curve and only just got up a livejournal page.

1. What drew you to the community?

An unhealthy obsession with the psychology of Lord Voldemort.  I'm actually sort of rooting for him in the series, although I realise it will be an unfulfilled dream to see him in charge of things...

2. What's your favorite ship/s to sail/read/draw?

Hermione/Voldemort (or HG/TMR); Hermione/Snape, and I'm writing a Luna/Voldemort.

3. What would you like to see in this community?

I can't get enough Voldemort fan art.  He's such a marvellous subject.  I would also like to see something with Nagini...

4. For fun, post a quote that reminds you of the theme of the community!  It could perhaps be a challenge later on, you never know

Hmm, a quote?  Ernest Hemingway: "All things truly wicked start from an innocence."  I'm not sure if I agree with it, but there it is.
