    Meh i read it for the bashing and the pairing the author favors. In actuality he leaves so many things out that can be used but it amused me in the mind chuckling way.

    Edit: Sigh I'm such a noob...Can a mod change the rating on the thread to a T.

    I'd like to read a bit more about what's it about and how you rate it to get an overview of what I am about to try out (or not).

    Maybe a link would've helped, too.

    Well, not that we have a link, a little reviewy:

    A neat little piece, designed to please DLPers, nothing fantastical. Gramatically not perfect, but nothing bad or anything that stands out.

    It's quite short, so you can read it without regret.

    3-3.5/5

    the power of the link

    EDIT: Meh, it's just another Weasley bashing fest...a decent read but nothing out of the ordinary

    4/5 because
    It's Harry/Daphne

    Didn't exactly make me laugh, but the line "the only holes virgin on Ginny are her nostrils" was worth clicking it for. Then again, now people have read that there isn't much point. 3/5

    Daphne has zero lines, and they don't give a reason for why Harry is even showing up. Too short to really say anything.

    But its not done, so might be too soon for much of anything. Daph comes in later. Whole point is palette cleaning from the other things I'm sorting out, and to make me laugh as I snipe at cliches. Thanks though :) I'll work on more, then maybe people'll have more to say

    Heh. 4/5 if only for slightly more creative than usual Ginny bashing.

    Didn't like it. I just kept thinking someone would shup him up somehow.

    Sounded like sour grapes from a whiney brat. Sorry.

    I do like the idea of Daphne though, maybe just because we don't get much Daphne stuff.

    2/5

    It made me laugh... for all of two seconds. 3/5 because Harry's actually doing something rather than sitting on his arse.

    Nice for a quick laugh, even if most of the characters are somewhat OOC. It was a nice change from the typical wedding-stoppage fics where he admits his trw-luv to Hermione and ditches Ginny at the alter. The scenario could have used a lot of work, yes, but I thought that it was worth the five minutes to read.

    3.5/5 for decent execution and amusement, +1 from what I would rate because it doesn't use the Hermione Cop-Out and paints Ginslut as a whore.

    It's a good change of pace but nothing else really. 3.5/5
