archive/rec site search

Dears, can you think of a HP archive or rec site for the clueless that

a) runs gen, het and slash and is not pairing/character/author-specific
b) hosts only G to R ratings
c) is smaller/more easily navigated than FA, less pairing-slanted than SQ, and has better-quality content than ffnet?
d) isn't not defunct (hosts post-HBP fic)?

I'm dreaming of something like [livejournal.com profile] isiscolo's old rec site, only current and without the NC-17... It doesn't matter if it's small (ok, 50-100 fics minimum).

Any ideas?

I've always had an irrational dislike for Mugglenet (perhaps falsely mistaking them for the lot that had trouble with slash once, and bad reading experiences). Ideally, I'd like something of a rec site more than an archive, but ideal equals unattainable here :). *thinks hard about FA Niffler thread, but it's kindof close to home...*

*shuffles feet* You know, I didn't even think of the Niffler forum? That's not very good on my part ... It actually might be very much what you want.

As for the slash ban, you may be thinking of Chamber of Secrets Forums, which are the official forums of MuggleNet. They have a fanfiction section called 'Flourish & Blotts', but it's subject to the rule of the forums that slash and R-rated material in general isn't even supposed to be discussed in the general forums (I've seen it discussed in the 'Hogsmeade' forums for people with 300+ posts and a responsible attitude).

MuggleNet Fan Fiction is a separate site that was started much later, and they do allow slash. (I don't think they have all that much of it, but that probably reflects what people submit.) It's definitely not my favourite archive, for a number of reasons related to the submissions and approval process.

CoS Forums was where I started out in active HP fandom, so I still have s soft spot for it even if I rarely venture over there now. :)
