2 Short Stories in Children Sci-Fi Anthology
-The story I remember better is about a drug that increases a person's intelligence. The society gave the drug on a small group of people first as a test, and then to everyone. For some reason the main characters in the story are immune to the drug. Their parents are in some type of support group, at least a magazine or something is mentioned. The kids want to prove they are just as good as a the smart people so they create a plan to disrupt some government, Madagascar's I think.
Cut for length )

Another Short Story
-It wasn't very long and in a supernatural/ghost anthology
-The plot is that a man is going to see his fiancee's grave. For some reason the skeletons come out of their graves and start writing on them. One man writes that instead of being a good husband, he was a horrible one. The man's fiancee writes that she got pneumonia (?) when she was walking to see another man and that is why she died. I think the guy faints in the end.

A Children Fantasy Story
-The premise is that the "real" world reflects a magical world. The main character is a girl and a boy from the other world talks to her through a mirror. The boy mentions he could see her through the bathroom mirror, but didn't watch when she was taking a shower or something (I remember this creeping me out). He takes her to the magical world.

A YA Story
-The characters go to a really strict school. Part of the dress code is that guys must wear pants and girls have to wear pants or knee-length skirts.
-A group of guys make some kind of club. One of the things they do is wear skirts to school to protest. I remember that they had trouble finding skirts to wear. They got them from a used clothing store and there were only ugly skirts. One of the skirts had palm trees on it.

My mom was telling me about a book she wants both of us to read. I guess it's about a mother and daughter who own an inn, or bed & breakfast? And characters from novels come to life there? She mentioned _Little Women_ as an example of the characters who came to life. Any ideas? Of course she can't remember title or author. She thinks it came out in the last two or three years. We're in the U.S.

Hey I'm not sure if this is where I ask if someone knows a fanfic. I'm new, I joined because i reaaaaaaaally want to find this fic i read. so here I go.

its a Harry/Draco, its short and painfully sad (if you ask me)

its about how draco had an accident (or something, my memory is blurred) and can't remember harry at all. But ofcourse they'd been together before it happened. it starts with draco waking up in hospital and then a bit about their life afterwards. I read it A LONG TIME AGO on fanfiction.net.

I've tried doing a story search (since I think it was called 'sleeping' or 'dreaming' or something, but really not sure).

pleaseeee help.

Hi everyone. I'm looking for an old Harry/Draco fic. I think it was written before the 5th book came out. It takes place over Christmas break. Draco is obsessed with Harry, so he lures him to an abandoned room. He brews this potion that will lower Harry's inhibitions. He throws it at Harry and he breathes it in. They have sex with Draco bottoming. In the morning, they talk and it has a happy ending. I hope someone knows this story. I would love to reread it and haven't been able to find it. Thank you.

I've read a story on fanfiction.net.
It was about Harry and Voldemort . Voldemort could insinuate himself in Harry's mind, they started talking and Vol. offered Harry poisoned tea (it was cyanide), eventually they developed a relationship(slash).
I think it was a WIP and I stupidly didn't save it or a link and now i can't remember the title or the author.
Please help =)?

thanks

Hey, I'm so glad I found this group! I'm looking for a story, I'm almost positive it ended up Harry/Lucius. Harry buys/is given a silver snake sex toy? I remember it was...animated.  The story would be several years old, and I think I first read it on silversnitch, but I can't remember anything else. Help?

happy holidays everyone!

i'm looking for a snarry fic where harry went back in time and met Eeline Prince and Severus Snape before he went to hogwarts. Harry said he'd pay for everything severus needed for school provided he got good grades. Severus had a crush on harry who was looking for a way to get back to his own time and using the hogwarts library to do it. I remember Harry didnt want to sleep w/ sev until he graduated.

I once read this book about a tribe of all women.
I think there was some connection to horses but I wouldn't bet on it...

The main character was the daughter of the chief.
I remember that they would go out and fight other tribes bringing back male captives if they were victorius. They would have a victory feast were the women would seduce the men in order to give birth to new tribe members.

The plot was either the chief had a son or the daughter of the chief had a son and the daughter had to take it away and kill him.

I think she eventually leaves the tribe or her mother dies and she takes charge, but the boy returns to his father???

I really don't remember too well. I want to read it again.

Sadly, that's pretty much all I remember about the book. It was part of a series, I think, of maybe 3 books? The main character was a girl (and I think there was a boy too, either in all or just one of the books) and I have a feeling it was about seeing ghosts or haunted places.

It's not the 'Mediator' series by Meg Cabot/Jenny Caroll, but its something like it.

And I seem to remember an old Church being involved in one of the books. The girl and the boy were locked in there or something. And for some reason I keep thinking of 'Cornwall' or some costal town; either that or it was a small village where this took place.

I would have read this early 2000's, but it was probably published late 90's - early 2000.

Any and all help would be appreciated :D

Not the Mennyms, though that was an awesome series.

I read a YA book in '97, probably published sometime in the mid-nineties, about an unhappy orphan girl. It may have technically been a children's book, but it was so steeped in depression, I got the impression it was for older readers. I remember it being a softcover, about 300 pages, with the yellow Scholastic border around the cover illustration, but I could be wrong about this.

The orphan girl ends up living with an older woman in a dilapidated mansion in the country. The older woman is a tea-drinking Victorian lady type, though I think the book was set in modern times. The girl didn't get much attention. She had a bad temper, and her hands were always cold and chapped--she chewed her cuticle skin. In the house, she found a dollhouse full of living dolls who became her only friends. They had sweet, silly, whimsical personalities. I think she got mad at them and stopped visiting them for a while because they were too silly.

Eventually, the girl leaves the dollhouse people behind. Maybe she breaks them? Or she makes a real friend so she doesn't need them anymore? Or the lady she lives with takes them? I remember the girl had to keep it secret that she played with them. I don't think this book had a very happy ending--It made me cry.

*Got it-- Behind the Attic Wall

...apparently a better-known book than I thought, judging by the Amazon page.
