"But Harry had eyes only for the man who stood in the largest portrait directly behind the headmaster's chair.  Tears were sliding down from behind the half-moon spectacles into the long silver beard, and the pride and gratitude emanating from him filled Harry with the same balm as phoenix song."

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, pg 747, US edition

Since 2003 PhoenixSong.net has been a haven for lovers of quality Harry Potter fanfiction (specifically Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione fanfiction), and we have found that our little corner of the net has become "home" for us as well as our friends.  The site was born out of friendships built upon a foundation of a mutual love of reading, writing fanfiction, and Harry Potter (not necessarily in that order!), and we continue to focus on the relationships that developed because of our interactions within J.K. Rowling's world. Now that the series has come to a close with the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, many of our pairings are officially confirmed:  Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione and Remus/Tonks.  However, despite the losses in Deathly Hallows, we have been gifted with even more of this magical world in which to play.  New generations and situations have been revealed, giving even more fuel to light the imaginations of our gifted writers and artists! As PhoenixSong continues to grow and develop, we look forward to bringing you new stories, poetry and artwork.  We welcome here all who value and love the incomparable works of J.K. Rowling.  We hope each of you will be as blessed by the friendships found here as we have been ourselves and invite all of you to share in the creative spirit she has inspired in so many of us through her Harry Potter series.  We're glad you're here! The Founders and Administrative Team of PhoenixSong.net

Current News: Myth & Legend has a request

Posted On: Friday 23rd April 2010 by Sherylyn

Some of you may remember Myth & Legend, author of Shadows of Silence, Eternity Lost and Cursed here on PhoenixSong. Sadly, she stepped out of the fandom's spotlight a while ago, but now she is hoping to take her writing talents one step further and put her original work into print: and she needs your help! Her young adult fantasy, Relic, is currently ranking at #27 on authonomy.com, the writing community run by the publisher HarperCollins. At the end of each month, the top five ranking books are given to HarperCollins for feedback, and if the writer's really lucky, it could result in a publishing contract. Myth knows that, without fanfiction — without the support and encouragement of you guys (her wording ) — she would never have thought of writing professionally. Now she's asking for a little more help on the rough road. If you want to help her out, please go to the link below (click on the book title), register at the site and click "back the book". Feedback would also be lovely! Title: Relic Summary: Everyone knows the rule: Stay inside the Wall, but Tisha believes rules are made to be broken. Tisha Tremayne does not believe the Realm Riders' stories. Monsters, demons and dead things brought to life again — they are nothing but a fairy-tale. Every day she looks at the steep, towering wall that surrounds the city of Relic, and she swears that she will find out what lies on the other side. She never stopped to think that she might see too much. For the rest of you who might know of other authors with similar requests — let me or one of the other Admins know, and we'll see what we can do to support you!

Current News: Submissions from August, and beta applications

Posted On: Saturday 26th December 2009 by Sherylyn

Well, as we approach a New Year, I have some good news at last!  For those of you who submitted stories back in August, those have now all been sent responses at LAST!!  I am sooooo sorry it's been so insanely long a wait -- this last semester was just *nuts* around here! For those of you who sent in applications to be a beta around the end of the summer, you haven't been forgotten, either!  I haven't yet finished responding to all of those emails, but I *will* get through the rest of them within the next week, if not sooner.  I'll make another note here once I finish, so you'll know to check email or whatever, at least! On another sort of note... the company that hosts PhoenixSong's server recently had a physical move of their facilities and equipment, and a "side effect" of that move is that our server's clock got re-set to show that it was January, 2002 (before PS even existed!!! ), which made some things show up reallllly oddly on-site for awhile (including having all our news posts disappear!).  If you notice anything "weird" still showing up on-site, please let me/us know and we'll do our best to get things sorted out. Thanks for your continuing support and we hope you continue to enjoy PhoenixSong as we head into another New Year! (And if anyone happened to have received any holiday gifts of money that you have no other use for [], feel free to drop in a bit of a contribution via our PayPal account.   No pressure, EVER, on that, but the server costs do come out of our family budgets, ultimately, so any help is always MUCH appreciated. )

Current News: New betas, submissions, etc.

Posted On: Wednesday 16th September 2009 by Sherylyn

Hi y'all... I know there are several of you who are waiting for responses to both beta tests that have been submitted, as well as our recent submissions .  Mostly... y'all are waiting on me!   I promise to get in touch with all of you just as soon as I possibly can -- hopefully this weekend, if all goes according to plan.  Things got really backed up on my "to do list" as I started teaching again a few weeks ago, and I'm just now beginning to get out from under the accumulated pile!  I hope and plan to respond to everyone within the next week, if at all possible.  Hang in there , and thanks for being so patient thus far -- I know it's soooo hard to wait for that sort of response , and I promise that I'm working to reply ASAP! Thanks, y'all!

Current News: SUBMISSIONS ARE COMING!!!

Posted On: Thursday 6th August 2009 by Sherylyn

After WAY too much time, and in spite of a great many good intentions, we are FINALLY going to be having open submissions again here at PhoenixSong! We will be opening submissions next week!  Submissions will be open from 12:01 AM on Thursday, August 13th, through 11:59 PM on Saturday, August 15th. (All times in US PDT [America/Los Angeles] time-zone; please check a time-zone converter for assistance.)  Please see the requirements at our NEST page for further information. PLEASE NOTE:  The number of stories accepted for archival here at PhoenixSong.net will be largely dependent upon our betas' availability.  We want to include as many new authors as possible, but we simply may not be able to accept everyone who makes submissions, regardless of story quality.  Obviously, longer stories (especially those over ten chapters in length) take more effort/commitment from betas, so those stories will likely be accepted on a more limited basis than shorter stories. Honestly, we're just a bit afraid of how many stories we may be receiving, since it's been such an insanely long time since we've been able to have submissions. Please bear with us as it will likely take us a bit of time to sort through submissions and try to match up betas' and authors' abilities, etc. We promise to do our best to choose stories that our readers will be eager to see, and also to do our best in regard to the stories we select for archival. Thanks, everyone, for your continued interest and support for PhoenixSong! (Also, if you've recently volunteered for "beta duty" here at PS, please check the following news item.)
