FictionAlley.org was founded in the summer of 2001 by a dozen members of the Harry Potter fan community.

FictionAlley is divided into four main collections of fanfiction:
  • Schnoogle , which houses novel-length fanfics. The name comes from the fandom slang term schnoogle, which is a display of affection.

  • Astronomy Tower , which hosts romance fanfics. The name comes from the Fanon idea that the Astronomy tower is where Hogwarts couples go for privacy.

  • Riddikulus , hosts humorous fiction. The name comes from the spell for banishing boggarts, which transforms the fearsome shapeshifter into an object of ridicule.

  • The Dark Arts , hosts mysteries, Angst , and other serious or dark tales. In the Harry Potter world, the Dark Arts are spells that cause pain or are otherwise inherently evil.


The site also hosts essays at HP InkPot and now have their own Wiki for Harry Potter-centric content at HPWIKI .

Altogether, nearly 50,000 stories and chapters have been posted on FictionAlley as of the spring of 2006. Fictions are rated for age-appropriateness using the MPAA Film Rating System , and material rated higher than 'R' is not accepted.

It also has Artistic Alley for Harry Potter Fanart and the Fiction Alley Park , which serves as the general forum. As of the spring of 2005, FictionAlley has over 100,000 registered users.

The FictionAlley site was nominated in April 2004 for a Webby and in Spring 2005 for the Prix Ars Electronica .
