omniocular's Journal

Welcome to omniocular!

omniocular is a selective community for writers, artists, and fans of Harry Potter gen fiction and art. The goals of this community are twofold. First, to provide a single source for high quality gen fiction and art of all characters, genres, styles, and eras and second, to encourage the gen community to become more active and supportive by hosting regular challenges, open to members and non-members alike, and a forum for archiving and recognizing the many talented writers and artists in the gen community.

omniocular is a closed community, meaning that only members can post in it. However, you do not need to be a member to read and look at the fics and art, or comment on the posts. Members and non-members alike are welcome to watch the community. Click here to add omniocular to your friends list.

What is archived here?

This community is for posting gen fiction and art only. For purposes of this community, we define gen to be fiction and art in which romance and sex are not the focus or a dominant part of the story. Beyond that, the sky is the limit! All characters, eras, ratings, and lengths are welcomed, as are all genres and styles.

For members: Full posting guidelines can be found here.

All fics and art posted here are archived by author/artist, main character(s), and relevent challenge, if any, in the memories.

If you prefer to browse by date, the calendar archive is located here.
