alt_fenHello!
Today's "bonus content" for you is the Collection that Denise made on Archive of Our Own:
http://archiveofourown.org/collections/Alternity
So far, I'm the only one who has added to it, but I believe Brook will be connecting his fics on Cedric and Rookwood, and Jen plans to put some of her fanfic in soonish.
The stories I have up are all Alternity canonical backstory*. They mostly explore the relationship between Sirius and Regulus when they were young. There are some pieces that occur while at school; and at least one piece that takes place after Sirius has finished school.
They're also linked from Sirius's page on the wiki.
The collection is OPEN to all, so if you have Alternity-inspired plot bunnies, we hope you'll share them there (and tell us so we can check it out!). Players may also write more, but it is not automatically canonical just because a player writes it.
Enjoy!
*We consider the "Blackstory" to be Alternity canon for several reasons. First, these stories directly informed myself and Deb, Regulus's player, on the characters' relationship and what it was like to grow up at Grimmauld Place; Second because the actions taken by the characters as seen in the fics were approved of by those characters' players at the time the story was written (and shared with new players when they entered the game); Third because the events and actions that are shown also were used as the basis of backstory that may or may not have been referenced in the game, or in communication about the game, with the other players.

(Last year, they were being much more strict about alternate universes/etc. I think it'd still be a judgement call, and it's likely some characters (those who don't appear in canon or don't appear much) might stand a better chance than the well known ones, but I think there's a way to make a case with the evidence questions they note.)
