Title: Gene-Spliced Harry
Author: Cypher3au
Rating: (R)
Genre: Sci-fi
Pairing: Harry/Multiple
Status: Work in Progress
Summary: Alternate Order of the Phoenix. Harry is, quite naturally, a little ticked off at his friends and the Headmaster. Muggle science has developed a way to splice animal DNA into humans. Fawkes has come to Harry's aid once before. Can you see where I'm going with this?

First time doing this so if I do something wrong, don't whip out the banstick immediately.

Harry grinned, twirling the black cane in his hand before gripping it under the cap at the top; a ruby orb the size of a chicken's egg clasped in the golden talons of some bird of prey. "I figure if Lucius Malfoy can get away with carrying a pimp-cane all over the place, then why the hell can't I? Anyway, here's Cinderella, back from the ball before midnight, as promised." He waved and moved to the stairs. "See you when your little club meeting is finished."
......Lmao.
As long as you don't take this story seriously, it's a pretty good read.

Agreed. I've been following this one on Rorschach Blot's yahoo group for a little while. An interesting idea, treated very light-hearted and fun. Entertaining even in the moments it's less than excellent. Recommended. (Though I've not read it since it was posted on ficwad... I know a few chapters were combined and maybe slightly edited.)
I've been following it at Rorsch's group too. Basic idea is pretty stupid, but it's written so well, in a funny and relaxed sort of way, that I didn't mind it too much. BTW I think there are few more chapters at his group, if you can't wait for a proper update...

It's not a 'blog'. We were talking about Rorschach's Blot yahoogroup. Where this fic was first posted and written.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CaerAzkaban/
I think now that the fic has a more permanent home, ficwad's all caught up and where the new chapters are headed. (I think 14 "parts" on Senor Blot's group = 10 chapters on ficwad.) But now that the author has graced us with his not her presence, I'm guessing he can tell us better.

I don't have a yahoo group of my own or a fanfiction.net account; I'm pretty much just posting to ficwad.com.

Ah, good old Perth. I believe a friend of mine once referred to it as 'The Arse End of Nowhere'.

"The fifth-year class was treated to the unusual sight of Harry Potter screaming and throttling the crap out of a choking, madly cackling, and winged Hermione Granger, while another Harry Potter was rolling on the floor and laughing his ass off."
That line made the story. Really.
ThunderGod

hell yeah..that line was a kak..as was the the song 'I'm too sexy for my robes'
laughed myself silly over those..excellent story

I read this. Not bad, but not exactly the greatest. Funny in parts though.
ThunderGod
06-01-2006, 02:46 AM
hmm..its just like most other fics..some parts are great..some parts are crap...the trick is to get the ratio correct:}
some stories raved about I found bleh..and some people canned I loved..so different folks different strokes ( I like long slow ones myself)
anyway back to eating my Krispy Kreams

What did you think was crap about it? I'd like to know what it is so I can stop doing it, if possible.

First of all, this is constructive and I mean no offence. :)
Well, part of it was the casual disregard gene splicing was treated with. As of now, gene splicing is done on eggs unborn, and even then is done very precisely. I'm rather scientific in nature, and I usually nitpick these kinds of things. Also, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is the United States. It'd be the British Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. Being a humor fic, this can be passed off, it just seemed so abrupt and anticlimatic when he did get spliced.
The other part was the fic felt somewhat rushed as well. Just *bang* next topic. That was sort of the situation with the girls as well. He seems to be picking them up like I do programming languages.

No offence taken. I'm kinda used to writing on Anime Addventure, and I imagine that's given me a couple of bad habits. Feel free to slap me across the head with a rolled-up newspaper if you see me doing something stupid.
I don't mind any of this. It's humor. It's all good in the name of fun.

I like it, can't wait for more chapters. It's almost a humor-based Independant!Harry. I like how he takes charge and locks the Death Eaters up in the Chamber of Secrets. Like the pairing as well, FD/HP/NT has some nice possibilities especially with the gene-splicing.
ThunderGod
06-01-2006, 10:33 AM
Yeah..that did the trick..it did seem a bit like anime...too rushed in that regards
at least I didn't have to find the words to say it..thanks

Nice to see a spin-off of the Spliced Senshi thread on the Addventure. Please write more. This is very interesting.

Some of the ficwad version is a little confusing or abrupt. The version on the Yahoo group is slightly different and in places makes a bit more sense. For instance the scene where Harry confronts Dumbledore about his keys has the same beginning and end, but the middle is completely different and Sirius and Snapes actions make much more sense in the Yahoo version.

Dude, give the guy a break. Some of us have personal lives and don't spend all of our time behind a monitor. Nagging an author for an update is just annoying.
Cypher3au, take all the time you need. Quality over quantity and all that.

Nice. I really hope you clear up the cliffie at the end... Or I'll bne forced to hunt you down and beat it out of you... Well probably not. But I will go an pout.
I like your potrayal of Harry. The sarcasm and wit is well put together and you got the Twins jsut right too. Loved the scene with the Polyjuice.
Good story. Look forward to more.

Not much of cliffhanger, is it? I mean, surely you remember how and where Harry got his Phoenix genes? Something about plucking a phoenix comes to mind... Well, it's the revenge of the firebird. :)

Excellent story. I really look forward to it's future chapters.
It kind of makes me wish that the Doctors would do something like this in the real world. Useless filthy muggles.

I thought this story was incredibly funny, after reading so many dark, angry harry fics its good to read one were harry is having fun and is still taking charge of his life.

I also followed the story on caer azkaban but there have been no updates for awhile which sucks because it's a great story.

I know it's been a while since someone posted here but I thought that someone should state that cypher3au has updated with a small cookie at the yahoo group.

Which yahoo group is it at?

Ficwad really need to start up a donation fund for them to get some new fucking servers. One of the most aggravating sites on the internetz.
Will edit with thoughts on chapter, if I ever get on the damn site.

I've downloaded the chapter and uploaded it to megaupload.com
I'm just not sure if it's against forum rules to provide a link to it without the author's permission.
Anyway, here's the link:

For anyone who is still interested in this story: it updated again 3 days ago, with chapter 13.
It's not exaclty brilliant, compared with the rest of the fic, but I'm hoping the next chapter will be better.

As it is allowed in the Library, I'm happily necroing this thread.
Don't know if you still look at this thread now and then, but I really liked your story, Cypher3au. Yeah, the idea wasn't the best and could've been better executed, but it's a light-hearted and humorous independent!Harry fic and a good read.
Pacing was just right and I liked Harry being confident enough to flirt without being all macho. I loved the Harry/Fleur/Tonks, because I could see it becoming one of the few well done multis.
On the other hand, I groaned when I read that you wanted to make it a Harry/Harem fic. Give Harry two women if you want and can pull it off (what you can) but a harem destroys everything because the relationships just get worthless. Only exception is a well done 100% parody, but your fic isn't parody enough for that kind of thing.
Flirting with every good looking woman is okay as some kind of friendly banter like Harry did with Hermione in Ch8. Fucking every good looking woman is also okay as long as it fits (Black Comedy) but having a relationship with every good looking woman is stupid.
It would've been better to keep him a women's man and flirty but actually let him stick to Fleur and Tonks and put a little more romance in. That would've been awesome.
Well, good story with the exception of the points made above.
4/5 for entertaining me and keeping me from having to write my diploma thesis.
Any chance it's ever goning to be updated?
