19 Years Later: The AU Story

19 Years Later: The AU Story is the name of the Out of Character (OOC) group for members of The Harry Potter Rolepay Community on Facebook. The group was founded on March 24th, 2013 by Admins Lauren and Selena. 19 Years Later as of May 27th, 2013 has 31 members. It is currently run by Lauren, Selena and Hannah. The group is listed as secret and can only be accessed by those who are invited or given the link.

History
Back in the Summer of 2011, Selena and Lauren met while roleplaying as Harry Potter characters on Facebook. Selena as Severus Snape and Lauren as Hermione Granger, realized that they had a lot in common and became permanant roleplay partners. Within the course of three years, their circle grew, each person playing numerous characters from or based on the Harry Potter franchise. The adventures took place in the Potter Universe as depicted by series author J.K. Rowling, but it had it's own twists.

The Group is concidered to be an Alternate Universe (or 'AU') roleplay, meaning that some characters, events, rules and relationships varied from the original source material.

In the Spring of 2013, after deciding they needed a more affective way to manage their plots and partners, the group 19 Years Later: The AU Story was created.

Affiliates
