Note from StrangerWithMyFace: Due to the overwhelming response generated by this site, MagicalTheory has just about reached its capacity. We only have a tiny bit of space left on our server. And, to be honest, the daily grind of running a website is wearing on me.
Fear not, MagicalTheory is staying put but some changes are going to have to be made. For now we are going to have to be much more selective in the fics we post. You are welcomed to submit your fanfiction to the email address listed below but the chances of it being accepted are going to be slimmer. I do not wish to discourage anyone from writing. Many fics we would have accepted a year ago are going to be rejected now. So you may want to consider submitting your fanfiction to Fanfiction.net or DracoandGinny.com. Both of these sites allow you to upload your fanfiction yourself, so you can see results almost immediately.
If you already have a fanfiction in progress up at MagicalTheory, please continue to send us the chapters. We do not want your readers to be left high and dry. Stand-alones and new fics, however will be judged by the same new guidelines as new authors.
I'm sorry that I cannot archive everyone. It really has been a pleasure realizing so many people support Draco and Ginny. But right now this is the only way I can see to change things without deleting stories (which I do NOT want to do.)
Thanks for everything,
StrangerWithMyFace
P.S. The Draco and Ginny FanFiction list will continue as normal. Everyone is welcomed to post fic.

Here you will find a few guidelines for submitting a fic to this archive. Please read them carefully and follow them when submitting your story.
1. Your fanfic must feature Draco/Ginny
We are a D/G archive, and while we have no preferences for supporting ships, the main focus of your story must be the D/G pairing. Several really good archives already house any kind of fiction and any pairing. We don't. If your fanfic is not mainly D/G, we will not archive it.
2. Include The Following Information in the Headers:
Author Name: (or Pen Name)
Title of the Fic:
Summary:
Rating: (G - R)
Email address: You may request not to have your email given out on the website for privacy reasons, but we will still need it in case we need to contact you.
Without this complete information, we will not upload your fic.
3. All submissions must be in .html or .htm format and sent as an attachment.
You can easily do this in most word processing programs such as MS Word and Works by choosing save as html or save for web in the file menu, or the coding can be done by hand in text format. (We will accept submissions in .txt format only with all html coding inserted.) We will not html-code your fic for you.
If you do not know how to code in HTML, there are several resources on the web to teach you the basic commands. Please check them out before submitting. HTML Goodies is a good basic one.
If your submission is not in .htm, .html or .txt format (with html coding), it will be rejected.
4. Your fic must be beta read.
This is very important. A beta reader is someone (other than yourself) that reads through the fic for errors. The archivists reserve the right to reject any fic we feel do not meet the minimum standard of proper grammar and spelling. We do not wish to be mean, but sloppy fics reflect poorly on the author and the archive as a whole.
We have a message board where you can request an beta if you do not have one already.
A note on plagiarism: We know that we are all borrowing characters from JK Rowling but please make sure that your storylines are your own and give citations for quotes and ideas where they are needed. There was an incident in the past where someone copied a book and submitted it, merely changed the names. This is plagiarism, plain and simple. And it is not welcomed on this site.
The archivists reserve the right to reject any fic at their own discretion.
