I've been following this one for a while, even thought he its sort of iffy, i find that it is funny as hell because hes lucky and less skilled.

[ChuckDaTruck]

this story is just funny. READ IT. It'll make you chuckle. :D

[Demon God of Chaos]

it IS funny indeed...

reminds me of Mr. Bean

[Beelzebu]

hmmm....yes, but the reason i find this story good is because it has so many different aspects to it...like the fact that harry isnt stuck in one place too long but moves around magical europe...

[Lutris Argutiae]

I agree. This is a funny fic- there's plenty of suspense in the sense that You never know what's gonna happen to Harry next- but yeah, its like Mr.Bean or Johnny English, hes completely unaware of it, but hes doing a wonderful job apprehending crime, etcetc.

And the Padamus Da Grim Nomed Black thing really grabbed my interested.

[ChuckDaTruck]

LOVE this fic. Its been updated again (its pretty regular)


HIGHLY recommend it.

Check it out.

Now, shoo and start reading.

[Dark Syaoran]

Hrmm. I think I tried to read this once but stopped... since it seems so funny and I need a laugh I'll try again.

[Elcyion]

I like it, I mean who doesnt like to read about deatheaters dying in so many weird ways.. Poor Lestrange

[Aura]

I think i posted the topic a month ago but mysteriously it got deleted...
:*: Looks innocently at the administrators :*:

Ah, what the hell. it's a great story and the death eaters die and are captured in so many weird ways.

You'll get a laugh out of this one.

[Lord Ravenclaw]

Indeed...this is one of my favorite stories. He does such a great job of fixing things, and apprehending crime but doesn't know it. Other people read more into his innocent comments, like that mob boss. I also like how Lestrange and Co. died. I'll never look at a Pepsi machine the same ever again.

[Dark Syaoran]

This is great.

I remember when I read it last it only had a few chapters. It stopped after he beat those four Death Eaters in Holland. I hadnt seen it since then.

Go Harry and your luck!

[ChuckDaTruck]

NEw chapter up.


Very funny stuff. The whole thing with Henchgirl is HILARIOUS (to me at least, although my sense of Humor is a little fucked up to say the least).

[Lutris Argutiae]

chuck, you don't have to say it, we already know, lol.

this fic has escalated recently. It's gotten a fair amount better. Honestly. A centuries old- man? bah. love it. Hope the author finds his way here sometime.

[Dark Syaoran]

Harry still has yet to get some ass... how can you go around Europe to 'live' if your not gonna get some ass. Does he want to die a virgin?

[ChuckDaTruck]

Good point.


Tell the author. :D :D :D

[Dark Syaoran]

I know that as Mr Black he is pretty old but couldnt he just take the glamour off once and bang those two buxom backpackers he ran into in Holland and saw again in Germany. I think they were the same girls... it didnt say they were but ya know... it looked like they were. Or Henchgirl, lol.

[ChuckDaTruck]

Or a prostitute.



Oh what!! Don't act like you DON'T think about it!!

Look, prostitutes are TRAINED to give pleasure. THEY OFFER A SERVICE!!!

FUCK YOU GUYS!!! I'M NOT A PERVERT FOR WANTING TO BANG A HOOKER!!

[DaytonDeusBlack]

Or a prostitute.



Oh what!! Don't act like you DON'T think about it!!

Look, prostitutes are TRAINED to give pleasure. THEY OFFER A SERVICE!!!

FUCK YOU GUYS!!! I'M NOT A PERVERT FOR WANTING TO BANG A HOOKER!!

:shock: ....Not a pervert indeed..... :lol:

[Xiph0]

-snip-

Woah... dude, this is DLP... most of the active users have read your stories we expect nothing less from you then something perverse...

[ChuckDaTruck]

Updated again this morning (January eighth)


HILARIOUS!!!

I loved the Count. My favorite part was the very beginning, the first death of the chapter. I don't wanna ruin the surprise though. THe Bar fights pretty fun too. KILLED BY A COSMETIC CHARM!!! :D :D :D :wink:

[Lord Ravenclaw]

Yeah that was great. "The tip of my whip got stuck in a treebranch and I frowned." Or something like that.

[DaytonDeusBlack]

Heh..this story keeps getting funnier by the chapter!

[ghst.san]

Can´t wait till I see Greyback die. Harrys blood is quite poisenous isn´t it??

[ChuckDaTruck]

Updated!!!


Its HILARIOUS!!

I like Laetus and the other French people.


The Veelas were kind of funny.

[Giovanni]

lol :)

"Suffering from dehydration and a fractured pelvis."

ROFL :)

Little Harry got a workout.

[zUzaque]

God i'm lovin' it

[ChuckDaTruck]

I KNOW!!! I didn't want to ruin It!!

Someone asked about Harry getting laid, and RORSCHACH ANSWERED!!! :D :D :D

[Dark Syaoran]

It was me! :D

[IndoGhost]

see I'll be honest...I've been putting off reading this story for some reason...but I just spend my time reading it and I have to say...I LOVE IT... :D

[ip82]

I'm also a fresh convert.

I tried reading this once a while back, and found it interesting to an extent, but I didn't like Harry acting like mister Magoo.

When I tried reading it like a humorus story and not take it too seriously, the results were much better. Great idea and generally fun to read story.

[That_Boy]

I think this story is great, and funny as hell. It still has a linear plot that kinda makes sense though, and it's original.
:D

[ChuckDaTruck]

UPDATED!!!

Pretty funny. Not Great, like others, but this one is more plot oriented. He's setting other stuff.

Still funny though. And I always like to see th Professor and HEnchgirl in action.


"Not it." That line cracked me up for some reason. ANd the watch. HILARIOUS!

[PsyckoSama]

So, Mr Black now has his Mad Profressor, his Henchgirl, and now his Doctor. ;)

[IndoGhost]

So, Mr Black now has his Mad Profressor, his Henchgirl, and now his Doctor. ;)
I wonder who he's gonna get next.

[Dark Syaoran]

*chuckles*

If only more authors could write good humor stories like this one and nonjon's series.

[Silent]

*chuckles* DId anyone else notice he made the chapter title into a pun again?

[ShadowedDarkness]

just finished up to chapter eight and so far it is hillarious, as long as it keeps this way I will keep reading. Harry has ability, but he also has the greatest assest of all luck. Better to be lucky then skilled after all. I wonder if everyone will ever find out the truth?

[killginny009]

i like dumbledore the pervert, i lauphed so hard when dumbledore realized the codes were the numbers of "playwizard of the month" and then when voldemort was having a none evil lauph i almost pissed myself. Definetly worth a read..

[ChuckDaTruck]

Updated.

HILARIOUS


go.read.now

Spacebar.Broken.again.

Dont.Like.Goblin,.but.VERY.funny :D :D :D

[ChuckDaTruck]

BRILLIANT NEW CHAPTER UP!!!!


GO READ IT!!!


Hilarious. Umbridge dies in a BRILLIANT WAY!!

And Harry Potter, Destroyr of civilizations? GENIUS!! I laughed so hard I shit my PANTS!!! Literally. Its kind of sad really, isn't it? Maybe I should buy some "Depends."

[nonjon]

I do love this story. I mean it's one of the ones that inspired me to write my trilogy. And definitely agreed that Blot is one of the funniest.

Though I must reluctantly admit to sort of tiring of this fic's formula. It's hilarious, great, cracks me up all the time, but we're 27 chapters in and we have a long ways to go. I've seen the Blot working on a couple other ideas on his yahoogroup, and I just don't want to see this fic get stuck like Lord of Caer Azkaban sort of has. Still in the meat of the middle of the story and left hanging. It's the same complaint I have about most of Shezza's stuff. Just loses steam and desire on what more to do.

I think he's still got to go to like Australia, Asia, America, et cetera before we near the end of the story. That's going to be probably another dozen to two dozen chapters and 50K more words, at least. And I just don't want to see this fic stuck or simply repeating itself, you know? And I definitely want to read how it ends more than I want to see more of the "Man Who Knew Too Little" sort of hijinx fun.

Nevertheless, this is fantastic stuff and kills me all the time. Can't recommend high enough (especially if you like my fics).

[ip82]

Yeah, he already kinda started repeating himself...

I mean, that first scene with misplaced portkey (when DE's fall from the top of a hotel in Switzerland) was hillarious.

But then he used the same idea 3-4 more times, with a train and candy machine and a new jail etc...

I mean, however good some idea is, repeating it over and over again won't make it any better...

It's kinda like that Azkaban parody story and Eppy the house elf - Funny at first, but not after using it over and over for next 20 chapters...

[ChuckDaTruck]

I'm actually starting to agree. Its losing its value, still Hilarious, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!.


Also, there was no apparent need to add the Architect and the Doctor. It feels like he's trying to breathe life into a dying patient. Let it go. Its run is course.


Still funny, and I still recommend it though.

[nonjon]

I don't want to start an anti-Blot wave of feelings here.

I just think there's going to be a limit to the number of times luck favors Mr. Black and I find it funny. And rather than push that to it's limits, I'm really curious how its going to end. I've seen a few drabbles about 'way down the line' on his yahoo group and it just feels like that's really far off in the story.

And yeah... for me the jury is still out on the Doctor and Architect. Probably the Architect moreso than the Doctor.

I just had fun picturing a scene with with them all drinking themselves silly and passing out, leaving Harry and Henchgirl up. Drunken Harry whispering to her:

"Wanna know a secret?"

"Sure."

"I'm a student."

"What?"

"Just finished fifth year at Hogwarts. Supposed to start my sixth in about a month. Shhh. Don't tell anyone."

"What? No! Don't pass out! What?"

[ChuckDaTruck]

That was funny. LOL.


AND I still recommend it, but its wearing thin. Still, if you haven't read it, READ IT!!!


And, as I said before, I did like Umbridge getting killed.

[LINKed up]

This story did start out very well, especially that travel dude at the begginning. But now, meh, too many things at once. Altho I do like everyone thinking that he is God and him being completely oblivious to it.

[nonjon]

New chapter 28 up.

"AN: Harry has a few more places to visit, brief stop in India or Bhutan . . . maybe both. Japan, Australia, and then America before heading back to Europe for the final few chapters."

/me looks for Senor Blot trolling this thread anonymously.

Another lovely chapter. Though he went and used the animagus form my dimension hopping Harry was going to have. Probably still is. Oh well. As long as that Harry's alternate Backstreet Boy name...err I mean other nickname he goes by, hasn't been overused recently.

But it sounds like Blot's aware he's been dragging a bit and has a decent idea of how much and what he has left. Yay.

[ip82]

I just joined his group and it's really great (especially if you don't mind to receive a bunch of emails each day). He's practically writing all his stories there, with the help of his members (that is members of his yahoo!group...).

[radioactive]

(especially if you don't mind to receive a bunch of emails each day).

Excuse the silly question, what e-mail? I'm member of twenty-surplus Yahoo!Groups, including high-load ones like "jeconais_fanfiction" or "potterplace3", and haven't got a single e-mail delivered for any of them. The secret is (if anyone doesn't know) that you can choose for each group how to get the messages, the choices being 1) single e-mails, 2) daily digest, 3) special notices only and lastly, 4) no e-mail. Makes group membership realy convenient.

[ip82]

I'm well aware of that, but what's the point of being a member of any group if you don't receive messages from it? Yeah, Daily Diggest could work too I guess, but I personally prefer to receive each message seperate (so I could delete what I don't like and easy find what I DO like).

[nonjon]

Well, I'll say this much, I too am in that group among many others, and I don't get e-mails from any of them. It'd be too much spam for me. I just read all the posts when it's convenient from the groups pages.

I get the e-mails for my own group. But I'm No E-mail in all of the others. And yeah... it was Blot's formula that I copied for putting up partials of chapters as they're written. And it helps that he has all sorts of odd ideas (bad unintentional pun) that he'll write up and post sometimes.

It's all about the mygroups (http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups) page. You can still view all the messages, at your own leisure, reply to them, and at a quick glance see which groups have a lot more messages, or new files up, etc...

I'm with radioactive in that it's easier for me to read them when I want to, rather than check back and realize there's 50 new messages from two diff groups. I think we're in the minority in this, but if you want to join more than a couple dozen yahoo groups I don't want to think about how many emails you'd have to deal with.

[MadEyes]

Another lovely chapter. Though he went and used the animagus form my dimension hopping Harry was going to have. Probably still is. Oh well. As long as that Harry's alternate Backstreet Boy name...err I mean other nickname he goes by, hasn't been overused recently.

Whats his nickname going to be? Morning-Breath?

I keep divulging story details in hopes someone will steal these ideas, write the fic and then I won't have to. Course when I eventually do get it done, as I know I will, there won't be anything in it I haven't already said.

But I thought I'd just let him go by a pair of initials that don't match up to him but have lovely meaning in the wizarding world. And like a good old nundu, "When you absolutely positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room… accept no substitutes." Like A.C. Slater's older brother. No not E.G., R.J., J.R., J.B., or C.B. (bonus points if you caught that movie reference... a hilarious and underrated flick).

It was either the initials or Deus (for deus ex machina), since he'd swoop in and save all the crappy fanfics that bug me.

[ip82]

Eh, it's probably that I've been deprived of 24/7 (or any other kind of) internet for a long, long time. I receive probably around 200 mails each day and I LOVE IT (for now, at least). It's a problem when I leave for few days, but since I'm working on comp for the better part of a day, it's alright...

Ugh.... 200 a day? That's a lot. You must be a lover of spam to not mind all the junk cluttering your inbox... It's easier and more convenient IMO to just read the posts in the yahoo group. I don't get you... :?

[ip82]

If I'm not arround, then the emails pile up and I get the same thing as when browsing messages on myspace, only
1) Already saved on my comp (so I can keep the messages I like)
2) Faster to browse than to wait every individual message to open up from web
Even if I don't feel like reading them, I can just mass-select them and delete them, so no harm done.

But if I AM around, then I receive 5-6 messages per hour, so I'm always up to date what's going on and I can easily participate in discussions etc...

So, I win either way.

[ChuckDaTruck]

I HATE spam!!! :x

I do like eating it though! :D (okay, kick me. That was awful and a lie. JUST DO IT!! The anticipation is KILLING ME!!)


Back on track, I LOVED the the stuff with the Lovegoods at the end. They always make me laugh.

Love very Good. :smiles fondly:

[Dark Syaoran]

Updated.

"The team got ready and we all took our positions," tears fell under the death eater's mask and his voice became shrill. "Nothing happened, wormtail ate some bad shrimp and had to get his stomach pumped, then he was hit by one of those street taxis, and then he ate some bad curry and is currently making my Lord's water closet smell like a week old corpse . . . other than that, nothing happened."

"If nothing happened," the dark lord asked in false calm. "Then why did half the team burst into tears when they got back? Why did the other half wet themselves? AND WHY WON'T YOU STOP SHAKING?"

"He's just trying to trick us," the death eater giggled insanely. "Trying to get us to drop our guard . . . but . . . but we're too smart for that."

"CRUCIO," Voldemort had to resist the urge to cry . . . you just couldn't get good minions anymore.

A Death Eater and Lord Voldemort

Hahahaha! :D

[ChuckDaTruck]

I laughed so hard I pissed my pantalones.

p.s. Pantalone is spanish for ...PANTS!!!! :D :D :D

[That_Boy]

That was awesome. I keep thinking this story is going to run dry soon but lines like that make sure it keeps going and it's still awesome.

[Lord Dragon]

Make A Wish by Rorschach's Blot is funny indeed I hope it gets finished. The story is worth reading.

[PsyckoSama]

Updated... Harry goes to Japan and misses all the funstuff....

Atleast he should have learned how to make Spirit Wards...

[That_Boy]

Has anyone invited Rorschach's Blot here? He's a good author and it would be cool to have him as a member...

[PsyckoSama]

I've tried.

[ChuckDaTruck]

Updated. Very funny stuff.


I like the joke at the end of chapter 33. Its funny, and made me chuckle. Good stuff. I'm not sure how much longer this can keep going, but I guess I'll enjoy the ride. Still funny, so if you want a laugh, check it out.


P.S. I posted this under the wrong Rorschach Blot story before because I am an idiot. Sorry about that. But this time, I think I got it right.

[killginny009]

i love the DE betting pool, its just funny as hell..

[andiais]

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!! no matter what faulta here may be, and lets be honest, there aren't many, any fic that can make me snigger for hours afterwards with one or two sentences is a winner in my book. Poor snivelly wormtail, though, is it wrong that i feel sorry for him?

[Spikes]

Make a wish is one of my favorite humor fanfics. To me each chapter gets funnier every time, and when i think it can't get any better it does. The best thing about it is it updates so fast.

[sephiroththebrokenangel]

When I first saw this fic the summary threw me off of reading it for a while but when I did I couldn't stop laughing, I mean honestly with the exception of Nonjon's new Firefly/HP fic this is one of the funniest fics I've ever read

[Rhea]

Poor snivelly wormtail, though, is it wrong that i feel sorry for him?


Nope. You're not the only one. Hehe, Mr. Black is out to get him.

[Spikes]

This is one of the fastest updated story's i know. He updates like twice a week.

[killginny009]

my favorite part of the whole story is either the whole name game where everyone in australia is named bruce or when the DE's betting pool had someone winning when wormtail got bit in the ass..
But the best thing about this story is how harry is so nieve to everything going on around him..

[John Croaker]

But the best thing about this story is how harry is so nieve to everything going on around him..

Let's not forget how "famous" he gets by doing so

[Tobang]

Has anyone else noticed this story now has like 5000 reviews… Thats for sure the most reviews I’ve ever seen for a story.

[ChuckDaTruck]

Yeah, but the last 3 chapters have disappointed me (I'm including the new one).

This story should really be wrapped up ASAP. You don't want to close poorly, and overstay your welcome. It leaves a bad taste in an audience's mouth.

Agreed, this story is really going haywire lately. Same goes for his other story (old Harry in a younger body AU). It's like he's running out of ideas and desperately trying to keep these fics going, instead of ending them and starting something new.

[Spikes]

I did not like the latest chapter. It just seemed like Rorschach rushed it.

[Mrriddler]

He's turning out like three chapters a week, no wonder it's going down the drain. In the first 15-20, you at least have reappearing characters who relate with one another. The scenes with them exchanging info on Black were hilarious. But now...it's just all big pile of goo.

[sephiroththebrokenangel]

You guys are write that the fic is going downhill fast but I think he is trying to wrap it up now and finally get to the ending

[Rhea]

The latest chapters weren't all that bad. Sure, they weren't as good as previous chapters, but really they're not THAT bad. And anyway, Harry is back. The story will be over soon. -sighs- I'll miss it.

[Niffler Lord]

It does sound like he will be wrapping it up soon. Good thing too because its sorta degraded since it started. Still some funny parts but not as original as when it first came out.

[Aekiel]

I still crack up laughing when I think of the Death Eaters and their portkeys.

This is the absolute best part of the whole thing:
Grabbing a piece of chocolate, Harry opened the door to the balcony and leaned on the rail. The wind in his hair, the lights of the city, could his life get anymore perfect.

“Diaieeeeeeeee.”

Harry watched in shock as several death eaters appeared in front of him and then plumeted to their deaths. After taking a suspicious sniff of the piece of chocolate that he had been eating, Harry leaned over the rail to look at the pile of broken death eaters littering the ground in front of the hotel. Wondering why these things always happened to him and resisting the urge to cry Harry turned around and walked sadly back into his hotel room, local law enforcement would be showing up soon and it might be a good idea to pack.

I can't help but laugh at that! Its fucking hilarious!

[Dark Lord Rostam]

He had a really good funny and Somewhat powerful semi-Independent Harry that's seen things and done things his friends will never do and whats the Author do.....he fucks it up by making Harry all sad he made them worry and how he left for nothing boo fucking hoo :x

[Aekiel]

I'd have been pissed off - Death Eaters ruining my 'last' holiday. Would be a major bummer.

[ChuckDaTruck]

And he has FUCKED up the ending.

Shame. Great fic, tarnished. The ending's not awful, BUT it is bad. This story should have ended 11 chapters ago.

Lots of people could have been cut-out or fused together. Combine the doctor and Henchgirl, make the architect some random goblin no need to name him, and remove the others. Harry's only traveling companions should have been: The Professor and Henchgirl. Even the Leather Work couple could have been left out, or have the PRofessor design a new thing. They could even leave them out entirely. And forget the fancy broom. Why couldn't the professor invent that? and they never should have gone commercial and founded Black Ink. It took Mr. Black's character out of the shadows and made him real rather than the mythical figure he was before. They tried to recapture some of that mystique (Characters trembling, the scene outside the Biker bar, etc) but its not the same as when the character was on par with Death. Death doesn't go to conventions. There's no way to restore the character's aura of cool once its lost. And the translator thing should have come from Harry's vault. It leaves out the whole Shopkeeper backstory, which is really a distraction. Harry had one relative who was a master linguist. That's it. No great hidden stuff in the vault. Its a simpler and cleaner solution.

[Dark Syaoran]

Yes, the tail end is turning out as great as it could have been but I've seen worse... a lot worse.

I wonder if they'll find out if he is Mr. Black... that'll be somewhat funny to see.

The latest chapters, while not as funny as the earlier ones, do have their moments, however small they may be. Harry punching out a kangaroo for instance, you Aussie's would know how difficult that would be.

[zEROfrustration]

Really enjoying this story and also the Omake's, Specially the one about the bunny having an accident

Bows with respect while holding a sore stomach from laughing too much,
zEROfrustration

[EsperJones]

The story is done. It was actually a very good ending, with Harry not rejoining all his friends.

[Duke of Rothwood]

Yeah it was alright, bit anti-climatic but ok

[TheIllusiveOne]

I'm glad he finally quit this. The last ten chapters were terrible.

[Duke of Rothwood]

Meh, didn't think they were terrible, not as good as the first few, but still alright. I enjoyed the story though, good comedy relief

[Lord Apophis]

Henchgirl rules!!!

Great ending to a great story...

[Niffler Lord]

It was a great story, but the ending left a sort of empty feeling. I donno it seemed like he rushed it. Kind of ruined the story for me.

[Element]

Anyone read the author notes of the last chapter? Don't fucking make a sequel, Blot, seriously. Scratch that, don't freaking make two sequels. Sigh. Well, at least one of them will be solely for O-Makes. I just really want this to end. Its a great fic and all, but its dragging out too long IMO. Perhaps he wants to do a nonjon-esque trilogy ><.

[TheIllusiveOne]

He should've quit while he was ahead. Once Harry came back to Britain the story went to shit and became an average fic, with no humor, and nothing but bullshit filler.

[magyareagle]

It's finished, the conclusion was a bit rushed, but I admit that the story quite enjoyable overall.
I highly reccomend the Untitled JLA X-over, which can be found at the group.

[Swimdraconian]

Yeah, this story started out reaaly good in the beginning, but the last ten or so chapters sorta brought the quality down. They just weren't as well written as the rest of the story; it was starting to sound like the author was pulling them from well... ya get the picture. And he wants to write sequals? I think he should take a break and then come back with some new material.

[DarthBill]

Meh. I liked the ending, it just pulled away from the humor aspect that drew most of its crowd. Telling the snake that he couldn't die was one of the best parts of the story to me. He was about to kill the snake anyway, so there was no reason to say it other than for himself. It leads me to think that Harry is starting to believe all the things people are saying about him and is actually turning into "Mr. Black."

[Lucas13]

Really liked the fic even if the ending was a "bit" off...
Its like Blot was trying to make the humor fic in a general type of fic.... but thats probably fault of the ff.net reviewers.

[nonjon]

I'm feeling lazy at the moment, so rather than paraphrase my own comments here, I'm just going to paste the review I left for Rorschach's Blot.

I suspect you'll disappoint a few people with this ending but such is life. Six thousand some odd reviews can't be wrong. You've written a hell of a fun ride here. Looking forward to further adventures.

If you want critical analysis, I'll say some of these last few chapters seemed a bit forced. I think the big shift where the fic went from pretty much pure humor into sort of a slightly angsty humor was when Harry became aware of people's impression of Mr. Black. In the beginning where he was just 'lucking' his way through things, completely unaware that they were assuming him to be much smarter than he really was, it had a much more light-hearted fun tone. Even the deaths were comical. Somewhere in the last dozen or so chapters it seemed to sort of turn a corner and it was almost melancholy humor. For example, in the last little omake you wrote about the guy robbing the bar Harry was drinking at. The kind of sadder Harry reluctantly saves the day chucking the bottle at him. The earlier happier one would've been unaware the bar was being robbed and maybe accidentally chucked a bottle over his shoulder without looking. Essentially the same events, it's just a little easier to laugh at unintentional foiling than intentional violent tendencies. Both work, but I think it's the happier stuff that attracted most of the attention and that people respond better too. The Harry-Mr. Black at the end was a far cry from the Man Who Knew Too Little in the start of the fic. I wonder how much of Harry's transformation of sorts was your own irritation at the hassle of writing 50 chapters here as people bug you for more.

Anyways, congratulations on finishing such a mammoth landmark fic. It really is one of the most popular ones ever. And that's something to be damn proud of. I've said it before, but I thank you for your inspiration too. My own humor trilogy I'm quite proud of and it was this fic among others that inspired it's start. Good luck on your future endeavors and I'll be keeping my eyes open for more.

Pretend I paraphrased that into an argument for why the last few chapters were lacking, but at the same time against all those bashing the fic unmercifully.

I agree totally with your pretend paraphrased argument nonjon.

I couldn't put it better myself, because I really liked the Magoo type humour.
The last lot of chapters is similar to my dark humour, so managed to read and enjoy them. Although the abrupt change does make it seem forced, but that may possibly have come from canon changing so much.
