They might promote it through curated lists. For example, creating a list of the top 10 Harry Potter fanfics on Bustle for a particular month. Also, by having a dedicated section on their website for Harry Potter fanfiction, it makes it easier for fans to find and explore different stories. They could also run contests related to Harry Potter fanfiction writing, which would encourage more people to write and share their work.
Some stories focus on alternate pairings. Instead of the canon pairings like Harry and Ginny, fanfiction might explore Harry with Hermione or other characters. There are also fanfics that delve into the magical creatures in more depth. For instance, a story could be centered around a hippogriff's perspective during the events at Hogwarts. Also, time - travel based storylines are quite common, where characters go back in time to change certain events in the wizarding world.
No. Bustle scary stories often contain elements that can be too frightening for kids. These stories might have themes like ghosts, hauntings, and curses which can give kids nightmares.
A Bustle scary story could be about a forest that was said to be enchanted. People who entered the forest at night would get lost no matter how well they knew the area. There were reports of strange lights and a feeling of being watched. Legend had it that long ago, a witch had placed a spell on the forest to protect her lair. Also, there was a story of a doll that was found in an attic. The doll seemed to move on its own, and it had an eerie look in its eyes. It was rumored that it was once owned by a child who passed away, and the doll held some sort of connection to the afterlife.
It depends. Sometimes movies or shows labeled as 'Hustle' might draw inspiration from real events but could also have fictional elements added for entertainment purposes.
