    Ditto here. 5/5 for pure lulz. Harry's fantasy scenes are gold, and Jeram does a great job of mocking all sorts of cliches.

    I didn't like the inclusion of metafiction the first time I saw it, but by the time Harry jumped into chapter twenty seven I was having a ball.

    Full marks.

    I swear this was posted somewhere, because I know I read it awhile ago...

    Maybe Jeram just gave me the link in irc once or something.

    Anyway, yeah its hysterical and great; "jumping into chap 27", as Andro put it, was masterful.

    5/5

    Disjointed, Random, and seems to contain only generally related snippets with no real purpose other than randomness.

    2/5

    Readable... Kinda... but not worthy of the library.

    I have read this a couple of times. It has had me chuckle and laugh out loud quite a few times.

    I enjoyed the randomness, and the immediate in-your-face effect of the changes Harry makes. Although, he is very off-kilter towards the last time jump, so maybe the changes won't be so subtle anymore.

    Keep 'em comping Jeram.

    His update rate is what, two chapters a year? It's funny as hell, I give 'em that, but it seems like he only does it when he's bored.

    Bored yet, Jeram?

    It surely is funny, though quite disjointed (I know this is somewhat the point, but still). And I think for now, it would be better found at WbA than in the library.

    This is one of the few crackfics in which I am curious about the plot. The cliffhanger was simple, expected, and ridiculously effective.

    I want more. 4.5/5

    I am not a big fan of oneshots, but DLP seems to like them and I liked your fic, it was funny, entertaining, resourceful.

    Not original, but resourceful.

    Cons of your story:

    Predictable, No debt, Nothing to grab or thing about really.

    Pros:

    It keeps you reading, and its funny.

    Anyway update soon 4/5.

    Should probably be "I wasn't permitted to use it after third year - ...." [Chapter 1]

    Overall quite funny, and the randomness just added to it I think. 4/5
