MuggleCast: The Harry Potter Re-Read Podcast

News: British star of stage, film and TV Helen McCrory has died. We wish the best to her family and loved ones.
Main Discussion: Former MuggleNet Fan Fiction moderator Laura Tee is here to discuss fanfic!
Have the MuggleCast hosts read fanfic before? Why or why not? Was there a stigma attached in the early days?
Laura runs through some common Harry Potter fanfic tropes including American exchange students, students getting "HOT" over the summer, and replacement love interests for Snape.
The hosts have each read some of the most popular Potter fanfics as suggested by our listeners, and are here to dish!
In "The Very Secret Diary" by Arabella, Laura found a depth to Ginny's character that was lacking for her in the books.
Eric describes the 700,000 word Hermione time-travel epic, "The Debt of Time" by ShayaLonnie
Debt of Time is so massive that it even has its own read-through podcast, Firewhisky and Honey.
Micah's choice for fan fiction, "In the Light of the Stars" by little0bird, features a lot of diversity as a teenaged McGonagall navigates wartime Britain.
Draco and Hermione meet repeatedly for coffee in Andrew's new favorite fanfic, "Remain Nameless" by HeyJude19.
After talking about SO MUCH fan fiction, and listing off some honorable mentions, the hosts try their own hand at writing fanfiction with prompts given to them by Laura!
Andrew reads his heartwarming meetcute for adult Scorpius Malfoy and Albus-Severus Potter.
Micah adds a new best friend on to the journey Hagrid and Maxime take through the mountains in his fanfic.
...and Eric reads his scene in which My Chemical Romance headlines the Yule Ball at Hogwarts.
