Congrats for leaving all those comments! Interaction with like minded people is my favourite part of fandom too. Here's to making new friends ♥

Thanks for these links! You've intrigued me with that Reddit community ;) I've never used the site before... does it have tags, or a way to find previous meta etc? Or is it just a matter of scrolling through all the posts?

I haven't spent enough time on Potions and Snitches, I should really rectify that. I agree with you – my view of Snarry is also 'Snape & Harry interaction'. I wish gen stories got a bit more attention in fandom. It sometimes seems hard to get people to even click on a fic if it doesn't have a romantic pairing listed!
