Darkest Magic is an archive of good quality fan work - fiction, art and essays - all dedicated to the romantic relationship between fictional characters Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. Both characters are male and therefore all materials on the site are of a homosexual nature. A lot of the material is also NC-17 and features explicit sex, violence or gore. However, the webmistress does look for quality in such works before featuring them. The characters are part of the 'Harry Potter' series of books and copyright belongs to writer J K Rowling. The site does not make any money or profit and relies on her indulgence towards fandom to exist.

However, Darkest Magic hopes to become more than just a repository for excellent work. We promote the Harry/Draco relationship across all fandoms and ships, and we also hope to inspire new fan writers and artists to produce more excellent Harry/Draco ship-centered works. To this end, we have articles and activities that promote excellence in writing and art at various times of the year. We are a gathering place for quality Harry/Draco work and inspiration in what is a vast and growing fandom.

Darkest Magic is no longer actively maintained. I will try to always keep it up as an archive, and should there ever be a problem information will be posted at the official blog: [info]hd_darkestmagic.


There could be several reasons for this.
It could be because sometimes, great work slips past our attention. Sometimes, the writer or artist has refused permission for their work to be featured, although this is rare.


You'll have to do it yourself.
For art, wherever possible, a link to the artist's main site or journaln is provided. Credit for fics is clearly stated after each title we rec here.


First, please CHECK that the work is not already in the archive. It is the least you can do.
You can send the link to darkestmagic@gmail.com with the header: RECCOMMENDATION. However, the final decision will be at our own discretion.


Of course. Much appreciated.
Please try to be specific about the link; on which page and what the problem is. I will fix is as soon as I can.
Write to darkestmagic@gmail.com with the header: LINK PROBLEM.


Yes, the site can be taken over if you would like to work on it actively.
