OMG, it is pouring like crazy, and for some reason I thought I didn't need to wear a raincoat? So my shirt is wet, in addition to my feet and legs. Good times.

flea, these are both listed as "canon-compliant", which at least cuts down on a lot of the more adult stuff.
Fanfiction.net, last I checked, does not allow NC-17 stories, but I don't know how thoroughly they check what gets uploaded.

Oh no! Am weirdly sad that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are getting a divorce. [link]

FFN is not strictly controlled: given some of what I've read there, I wouldn't recommend letting an unaccompanied pre-teen wander freely.

Yeah, I'm not surprised.
AO3 has robust search, but not any kind of parental controls.
I really thought HP had a general audiences archive, but I can't find it.

Me too. Mainly because from afar they seemed to work hard at being a family.
I kinda believe there might just be the one nurse who can do the thing. I don't know, it just seems plausible at the moment. Shouldn't be, but is.
Oh I believe this. But Grace was also there when she was training another, younger nurse. And it's nothing that's rocket science -- they place an IV, they draw blood for the lab, they give a sub-cutaneous injection and then draw blood another 5 times over the course of 3 hours, every half hour. I just think it's hard to believe no one else can place the IV, draw blood, give injections in a children's hospital.

Also sad about Ben and Jennifer, because she seems so cool, and I wanted to believe he reformed due to the love of a good woman, etc (speculation is that his gambling and womanizing). Plus they've got kids and that's always sad.
I hate when my alarm goes off and I'm so sleepy I can't figure out why it's making noise.
Flea, no ideas on HP other than she could search on AO3 herself and maybe download appropriately-aged stories? You can save them in kindle format, for instance.

Frankly, I've been expecting the Affleck/Garner split since Daredevil tanked. At least they stayed married past their 10th anniversary, so you know it wasn't one of those Tom Cruise multi-year publicity stunts engineered to avoid community property laws.

Yeah, the consensus elsewhere is search A03 and download G and PG-rated stories for reading offline. I am surprised there is not a child-friendly-fanfic site for HP, given how the existence of fandom parents and the continuing popularity of HP with kids as young as 7!
