I've got one that I started a while back, but in it Harry was kept in
Azkaban by Voldemort. But like you said about most others, it isn't
finished. I didn't know how to write much more (stopped at 20K), and pulled
the story. I can't stand to find abandoned fics so once I realized I
couldn't finish it I pulled it off the sites.

The original Azkaban story, as far as I've been able to determine,
the one which set everything off, was "Betrayed" by Kateydidnt. It
has the earliest publication date of any of the Azkaban stories on
ff.net (4/1/03), although it wasn't finished until just before HBP
came out (7/15/05), when the last few chapters came out after a long
hiatus.



I have managed to track down one Azkaban story that was published on
Skyehawke prior to that, but it differs from the kateydidn't model
in that Harry actually did the crime, was convicted, served his time
out, and the story is about how he and the people around him react
when he tries to adjust to wizarding life again. This one was done
just a week before "Betrayed" came out, and Skyehawke was just
getting started then, so I don't think it had much influence. But
it's an interesting story nonetheless.



A decent completed one is krtshadow's "Redemption", which is about
how Harry slowly rejoins the human race, and the risk Remus and
Sirius take to get him there. It's post-GoF.



There's also "Harry Potter and the Total Betrayal", by Mione5 (which
has vampires!):



And "Fixing Broken Glass" by YamiPaladinofChaos:



(These are ones that I've read and can vouch for as being decent
stories. You could also go to ff.net and run a search for "Azkaban
Harry complete" and get a bunch more titles.)

Fixing Broken Glass is completed and quite a decent post azkaban ficlet.


The Realization of Fate is a work in progress. Quite good and I'm
really hoping the author keeps it moving.


There are literally hundreds of azkaban fics ranging from 500 words to
nearly 100K words that are incomplete. Most are abandoned from what I
can see. And its really a shame, the premise of a Harry sent to jail
then released after being proven innocent is quite a good one.

I don't know if most people abandon their fics because they don't have
a plot outlined, or they just get bored with it. All I can say is it's
might frustrating.

Give me some names of Azkaban stories that are

know some more that are good.

There's plenty of angst out there that isn't slash, and plenty of
slash that isn't angst.

As for the Azkaban genre, I suspect that a large part of the problem
is that the authors have no real outline or idea how to *resolve* the
situations they've created. It takes a skillful writer to work out
the conflict and bridge the gaps between Harry and his betrayers, and
not everyone can do that.

I actually think this isn't specifically an Azkaban problem, but a
fanfic problem in general, particularly the "fad" stories. A new idea
comes out (like, say, manipulative!Dumbledore after OotP) and all of a
sudden everyone's writing about it ... and many if not most of those
stories are never completed. Maybe it's worse for the Azkaban stories
because some of the other fad genres at least have obvious
resolutions. Even the original Azkaban story was left unresolved for
the longest time. By the time the difficulty became evident, however,
a lot of other stories had been started.

Which also has a Bush.

I live in New Jersey, and I maintain that you absolutely cannot beat
our state for unsavory politicking, even without a Bush. *sigh* And
the governorship's up for sale again this fall ...

Dorothy

Treck's right Texas does have both of the Bush's though isn't florida
a close second?

But Dave....You live in Calif. now and we have the slickest corrupt
politicians on earth. They just don't want anyone to know since it
would hurt their public image and they might not get the move deal
they were aiming for.

Has anyone else noticed that when people talk about "home" the first

bagels and such, for Californians it's usually something to do with
produce (best in the world by the way) for New Englanders it's the
seafood, and for Midwesterners and Texans it's a grumble about not
being able to find a good steak which usually sounds a lot like

There must be hundreds of decent unfinished stories.
But few that are
finished and fewer still that are worth the read.

And can someone explain why most of the angst
stories have to involve
slash? :&#92;

Yeah, I think I mixed the vase stories up.

Harry uses his aunts blood along with his in a vase powered by
magically charged crystals to power the wards, then sends his
relatives off on holiday. Very independant-Harry /
dark-but-good-Harry story, with a bit of Dumbledore bashing.
