Wow, your life isn't complete without Shoebox! *boggles*

Hee, anyway, The Shoebox Project is a LONG, long long long (and I mean 20+ LONG chapters) fanfiction in the Harry Potter fandom about the Marauders: James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter. It's written by ladyjaida and illustrated (BEAUTIFULLY) by dorkorific. It's set when they were in Hogwarts and follows them from first year to seventh (or that's where it left off - it kinda stopped without coming to any kind of conclusion, but that's okay - we all know what comes next (the war, the Potters' deaths, etc)). The focus for many people (including myself) is the gradually developing Remus/Sirius relationship that culminates very late in the fic. It's beautiful and touching and real. But above all Shoebox is FUNNY. It is the funniest piece of fanfic EVER. There have been hundreds and hundreds of quote icons made from Shoebox because it's just THAT FUNNY, every line is quotable. The characterizations are brilliant, the plots priceless, and basically it's like a prequel novel for the Harry Potter series. There's a reason why it has thousands of people reading it - it's brilliance. I DEFINITELY recommend it. If nothing else, read the first chapter - it's one of the funniest, still.

Whew! Now your life is complete ;) Or it will be when you read it!

Oh that sounds AWESOME! I love massively long stories. One of my favorite HP stories is a 500+ page HG/SS epic. I really wish there were more long stories in Supernatural. One-shots are nice, but I love having pages and pages of plot and character development to sink my teeth into.

That fic definetely sounds kickass. I'll totally be reading that one!
