Please update your profiles! The area has been updated.

The Potions and Snitches website became inaccessible sometime at the beginning of January. It seems that the domain expired. I since attempted but was unable to contact the member who had paid on her own for the site the last ten years or so. We can only hope that she is alright.

Since the site was gone for so long, I decided to buy a new domain name and move the site so we can get back to reading, reviewing and posting stories! While inaccessible, no stories or reviews were lost during this move. Hooray!

Unfortunately I also had to purchase a new host server because I was unable to figure out how to work the new domain otherwise. It is my hope to register the group as a nonprofit and be able to have the community pay the server and domain fees through donations in the future. This way we can avoid long periods of downtime due to renewals in the future. I will update you later on that as plans are made.

The new Potions and Snitches website is called potionsandsnitches.org. The old one was .net. It does not seem like a big change, but it took a lot of work to make the switch. It will likely be awhile until we can be sure all old links and images are updated.

Thank you so much for your patience and support through these frustrating times.

We will soon post a list of all the stories added and updated for the Winter Fest for your enjoyment. They were added right before the site went down.

Hi all new members and welcome to the site.

Unfortunately, many new members are not reading the rules regarding submission of new stories.

This is a SNAPE AND HARRY Gen fic site.

 One of the criteria, the most important of ALL our requirements for new stories to be validated, is that a story MUST contain an adequate amount of Harry and Snape interaction--this does not mean, one line where they say 'hello' to each other.

I have had to reject numerous submissions, because authors are not reading the rules!

The rules are at the bottom of the page. Please read them thoroughly before submitting your story!

I do not like having to send rejection letters, but since we don't have alot of rules on the site, I don't think that it is alot to ask new members, to follow the most important rule of all.

We usually try to give authors a chance, by proving that the story will contain Harry and Snape interaction soon, but lately, the submission queue is bogged down by stories that contain absolutely no interaction whatsoever.

We try to keep this site, one where authors can enjoy that special relationship between Harry and Snape, so thank you for understanding that we must be strict with following the rule of Harry and Snape interaction, otherwise, we would lose the special quality that this site was built on--that is, to have a goldmine of stories where readers can enjoy the relationship between Harry and Snape.

Thank you for your understanding,

P&S Admin team
