I followed it as it was posted, when I was approx the age of the protagonists (as well as the writers I think). I haven't reread it in 6-7 years, I'm not saying it stands up for all time, especially since it was started way before the series was finished, but at the time I loved it and I don't think it was overrated. Maybe it didn't follow canon, but to me it kind of was canon- it was written before the pensieve scenes, before sirius even died I think??
imo fanfic doesn't necessarily have to be readable 10 years later to be great.

I'm pretty sure the Order was mentioned though, so I think it was actually post-Pensieve scene. I remember Gideon and Fabian Prewett were characters.

The pensieve scenes of the maurauders only started in HBP, which was published after they'd been writing for a year. Sirius had died in canon, though. I was wrong about that.

No, the Pensieve scene was definitely in OoTP. Remember? It was when Harry was being trained by Snape. Harry has a conversation with Sirius about ti afterwards. (I JUST re-read OoTP, so.)
