Roads Not Taken

banner of the best revenge publications page

In an attempt to shorten the drop-down menus enough for them to remain fully visible on smaller screens, such as laptops, it makes sense to post collections of closely related fics, such as trilogies, or other series fics on a single page. This means you may have a very long page to scroll down, in order to link to all the volumes, or much smaller cover images to identify them, but that seems an acceptable trade-off.

The Best Revenge Trilogy:

The Best Revenge

Fanfic comes in every genre known to professional publishing, in addition to one or two which are almost exclusively its own. Perhaps the best known of these additional genres is the “redo,” in which the original story is retold with some critical change to the underlying premise, and is left to develop from there.

‘The Best Revenge’ is a classic redo. In the “Severitas” tradition.

Note 2020: This story was listed in Oprah Magazine May 2020 in the article: ‘52 of the Best Harry Potter Fan Fiction Stories on the Internet.’
