Welcome to THE PETULANT POETESS, a moderated online fiction archive dedicated to both Harry Potter Fanfiction and Original Stories and Poetry.
The Petulant Poetess archive was founded by NotSoSaintly in April of 2005 with the idea of creating a friendly atmosphere, dedicated to guiding and encouraging budding authors as well as accommodating the more seasoned writer. Stories going through the moderation process receive a final polishing through communication with the author with the express intent of presenting quality stories for the reader. A list of hard-working admins who contribute their free time out of love for the craft of writing and helping others may be found on the About Us page.
So grab a story off the shelf, pull up a chair, and get comfortable; the library is open, the tea (or coffee if you prefer) is hot, and everyone is welcome.
Please note that access to adult-rated stories requires a membership, which is restricted to people over the age of majority. View our Terms of Use and Compliance Statement for more information. Our Submission Rules are readily available to all writers who wish to post with us.

| Slash is now Genre |
| This is just a heads up for authors who post or have stories in the Forbidden Forest category: We have changed the Slash from Warnings to Genre. It's taken a while to implement because our headmistress, who is also the coding goddess, has a busy life, and we wanted to be absolutely certain that the coding doesn't get messed up. But it's finally there, in the Genres. Happy writing and reading! |

| Infinitus Envy |
Con season is upon us once more... 7 days and counting! Soon our lucky friends will be making their way to the Sunshine State for Infinitus and Hogwarts! Not ones to be left out, we thought we'd have some fun of our own. We have teamed up with the lovely ladies at the LJ community HPCon_Envy. They have some great things planned for next week, including a Virtual Drabble Booth! I cannot wait for that one. To find out more about the treats they have in store, check out these posts: http://community.livejournal.com/hpcon_envy/166478.html#cutid1 and http://community.livejournal.com/hpcon_envy/166075.html We are also going to be running TPP chat every evening during Infinitus, with plenty of drabbly games. All are welcome, whether to play games or just catch up with friends. LadyintheCloak has even agreed to provide picspam! If you have any ideas for prompts, please don't keep them to yourself. Share them with the rest of us: http://www.thepetulantpoetess.com/forums/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=734 (And in case the link doesn't work for you, go to the TPP Forum, then click on Petulant Poetess Challenges, and the post will show at the top. There seems to be a problem with the link.) All authors joining in the Infinitus fun are welcome to post their results on TPP, and anything submitted to the queue under the con_envy category will be fast-tracked. To keep things interesting, we're going to be playing some new games. There'll be more posts about those closer to Infinitus, but if there are any new games you'd like to play, please post them using the above link or reply to this post. We want to hear your ideas. We can't promise a Victorian village or a magical castle, but we can promise good friends, games and minimal risk of heatstroke. See you there! |
