- On February 7, 2000, Penny Linsenmayer, one of the early members of Cassandra Claire's inner circle, made the following post to HP Anonymous:
- ROMANCE PAIRINGS: Ron and Hermione have plenty of potential -- lots
- of sexual tension in that relationship. I think
- there's a possibility for Harry and Ginny, although I'm not sure she
- is developed enough as a character yet for any of us to think
- she's quite right for him. She had such a small role in POA. It will
- be interesting to see how that turns out. She could develop
- into a character that we will all think is worthy of Harry's romantic
- partner. For now, I don't see any of the females currently in
- the cast as being quite "up to snuff" (I think Hermione is better with
- Ron so I've discounted her) [1]
- On July 6, 2000, Salon.Com ran an article about Harry Potter. The article only briefly touched on fan fiction, but when it did, it was basically to plug Lori Summers's Paradigm of Uncertainty:
- Finally, for those who just can't stand the wait between Rowling's books, there are Harry Potter role-playing games and a growing body of fan-written Harry Potter fiction on the Web, much of it intended for adults. If the tentative rumblings of pubescent romance aren't strong enough for your tastes, there's "Harry Potter and the Paradigm of Uncertainty," a story in progress to be found at eGroups. Author Lori Summers describes it as "a PG-13 story intended for adult fans of the HP series. It's set 9 years after Hogwarts graduation."
- In Summer's story, Hermione has become a beleaguered academic sharing a large house with several other young witches and wizards, Harry Potter included, and recovering from a yearlong romance with Ron, who has been murdered by Voldemort. In the long tradition of "shipper" fan-fiction (in which fans imagine romantic relationships between fictional characters from books, TV and movies), this tale concerns itself with the complicated and often painful romantic tension between Hermione and Harry. It's a strangely prescient-seeming work, though not, as Summers stresses, recommended for children -- or for those who relish Rowling's books specifically because the characters don't resemble angst-ridden grad students.

- On October 23, 2000, Majolique posted her story, "Midnight Confessions" to the hpslash list. This story is credited as being the first Snape/Harry fan fiction published. [3][4][5]
- On October 31, 2000, Unquiet posted part one of "A Different Lesson" the hpslash mailing list. [6][7][8] Part two of this story was posted to FanFiction.Net. This was another early Snape/Harry story.
- In August 2001, Kangeiko posted "Two Loveable Young Women". [9]
- In August 2001, Telanu began writing her Tea series. [10]
- In October 2001, JayKay released the story "Too Wise to Woo Peaceably." [11]
- In November 2001, Luthien wrote the story "Aftermath" in response to a challenge posted by Telanu on the SnapeSlash mailing list. [12]
- Sarvihaara founded the glassesreflect mailing list on November 6, 2001, devoted to James slash and Harry slash, and would go on to found the Potter Slash Archive (PSA). [13] This list had a membership larger than WhenIKissedTheTeacher. (White_Serpent: [14]) This mailing list, too, would become one of the largest in Harry Potter fandom. [15] Because PSA accepted Harry slash, its archive would eventually be dominated by Harry/Draco stories written by members of the Inner Circle, including Cassandra Claire, Aja, and IvyBlossom.
- On November 16, 2001, the Snapeslash community benefited as a result of the opening of the first Harry Potter move in theaters. This is mostly owed to fans finding Alan Rickman attractive. [16]
- On November 24, 2001, Alia founded the SnapexHarry mailing list. Members of this list included Telanu, Luthien and JayKay. [17]
- On December 1, 2001, Sushi became a Snape/Harry shipper. Her first contribution to this pairing was the story, "Marching off to War." This story is now part of the Civil War series. [18]
- From late 2002 to 2004, Harry Potter slash fans went through a period where they were obsessed with writing the students of Hogwarts, primarily Draco and Harry as wearing leather pants. This was popularized by authors like Cassandra Claire, Heidi8, IvyBlossom, Aja and Stacey. [19]
- In March 2002, Severus Snape Fuh-Q Fest opened. It was created and organized by Luthien and Tboy. It led to many more Snape/Harry stories. Cybele and Josan wrote their first stories for the Severus Snape Fuh-Q Fest. A number of Minx's early Snape/Harry stories were written for the fest. [20]
- In the fall of 2002, From Dusk Til Dawn, the SS/HP Fuh-q Fest, opened. [21]
