babb_chronicles. A fascinating thing about these kids' scribbles is that they're only doing what numerous more, er, accomplished fanfic writers are doing - borrowing characters and milieu to work through their own stuff*. Fic is hugely about loyalty, betrayal, friendship, and the complexities of sex and romance. (I mean, look at that first example. Have we not all felt that way?) I'm also intrigued by the embryonic efforts to imitate JKR's style, as in the bit about Ron's "munching and crunching".
Of course, it's a little more difficult to be there-but-for-the-grace about the nudist stepmother and god's personal fighter.
Someone has made ikons of some of the phrases from these woebegotten efforts. These are terribly funny, but as always my flinch reflex stops me from snavelling any (imagine if one of those poor kids came across one!).
* This is perfectly legitimate - what d'you imagine we do in the published junk? :-)
