Complete List of MMADfan Stories
with Links
Here is a basic, well-ordered list of all my stories, with links to them on the Petulant Poetess and, when they’re available there, on fanfiction.net. I also archive my stories on An Archive of Our Own, but AO3 does not yet have all of my works-in-progress, though I am gradually posting them there.
I recommend AO3 to anyone who is not a member of the Petulant Poetess (although membership on TPP is open to anyone over the age of majority), since most of my fics on TPP require the reader to be registered and logged in in order to access them.
Jump directly to the list and skip the blather.
Fics by Type: For lists of fics sorted by type, see this page. (E.g., categorized by genre, rating, main character(s), length, etc.)
Enhanced list: For graphics and some added blather, see the original list of all my fics, which has banners and extended descriptions for all the stories. 😉
See the bottom of the page for more general story information & the general disclaimer.
Stories in eBook Format:
There are a number of stories available in Kindle format (easily converted to ePub format) for free download from Box.net. These include the longer RaMverse fics and a number of shorter ones, as well. All of the chaptered stories are well-formatted with active tables of contents for easy navigation.
If there’s a story that you would like to have in eBook format that is not yet available, drop me a note, and I’ll try to get it converted and uploaded as soon as possible, or if you want a copy in ePub and don’t know how to convert the mobi file, please feel free to contact me and I’ll be happy to convert it for you.
This icon signifies the story is a “lightning fast read,” usually a one-shot flashfic, around 1,000 words or less.
The wand icon indicates a short story or short novella, generally under 10,000 words, but longer than a flashfic.

Note
The stories set in the same fanfic universe as Resolving a Misunderstanding are all listed together in the beginning of the list in more-or-less chronological order, followed by my other HP fanfics. The stories feature a variety of characters, including Minerva McGonagall, Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, Poppy Pomfrey, Filius Flitwick, Hermione Granger, and others.
Most of the Resolving a Misunderstanding universe fics can be enjoyed as “stand alone” fics without having first read any of the others. Go to the Suggested Reading Order page for a recommended reading order for the Resolving a Misunderstanding series of fics if you prefer to read them in “non-spoiler” order.

Just a little blather:
DH is either disregarded or irrelevant (or twisted around!) for most of my fics, particularly those in the Resolving a Misunderstanding universe, which came into being before DH was published. I try to be canon compliant at least through OotP, though — and partially through HBP, at least conceptually, if not in the details.
And more blather about me & my fics here . . .
*GENERAL DISCLAIMER*
As I assume everyone who is able to read knows, Harry Potter and the Harry Potter universe and its characters belong entirely to J.K. Rowling and those with whom she has contracts assigning certain of her copyrights (e.g., Warner Bros.). This fanfiction is intended as personal entertainment and as a humble homage to JKR’s wonderful fictional universe. It is not intended to infringe on her copyright in any way, but is intended to promote the continued reading and enjoyment of her books. I make no profit from this and strongly doubt my story has the power to divert any profit from JKR.
Please do not take any of my stories as an infallible source for information about the real world, whether scientific, cultural, social, literary, veterinary, geographic or otherwise. I strive for verisimilitude, and borrow heavily from the real world, including from world history, literary history, science, nature, and world culture, but verisimilitude is different from strict accuracy. (Some folk I have found to be either very literal or rather naive.) Obviously, the Harry-Potter magical universe comes from JKR’s series, though I’ve added people, places, things, and concepts of my own — that’s what makes it fanfiction! 🙂 I hope you enjoy the stories!
