Complete You're a Wizard, Potter by Amsuhl - K+

Discussion in 'Humor' started by deathinapinkboa, Jun 17, 2007.

  1. I read as far as it was written a while ago and it was hilarious, I really hope the author continues writing it if they aren't already.

    It's been updated. The lates chapter really isn't that wonderful, though there something vaguely entertaining with Draco and Ron.

    All in all the last chapter is ok. It's not the best part of the story, but just because of the Ron/Draco moment I'd grant it 4/5 for this chapter and 4.5/5 for the whole story.

    Well.
    That's surprising.
    I'd give it a 3.5/5 at most. It's rather rushed, the plot is poorly developed, and what was supposed to be a moderately short fic with a maximum of five chapters or so has turned into a monster.
    I have no idea what to do with it. Advice?
    And... does my name sound masculine? Because I'm female.

    Nice to see you joined up!

    Amsuhl sounds decidedly masculine, I'm afraid to say

    I agree with your self-analysis, but it's good humor nevertheless. I don't actually have any skill with humor, but you seemed to have it completely under control. This guy is very funny though: http://www.cracked.com/contributors/david-wong

    Also, your ending to Storchlei? Best ending anyone could have asked for.

    Having read all the new chapters for this fic I have to say... I need to re-rate it.

    I give it a 2.5 out of 5.

    It's just not very good. Things got predictable, trite, and more or less unfunny.

    In retrospect, I should have rated it a 3 or a 2.5 previously as well. The Grammar is okay, but the sheer lack problems I saw in the fic made it unworthy of the rating I gave it originally.

    I still do have a long way to go, and humor isn't really my strong suit... well, I don't really have a strong suit.
    Thanks, Andromalius, I had fun writing it. It is now deleting, and I may now rest in peace.
    To you, too, Garret P.I., for your frank assessment of my fic.

    I'd advise you to keep the fic because there are people (like me) who like it. The quality of fanfiction is so low these days, so it's nice to get a decent fic.

    I remember this guy called Dauphin who deleted one of my favorite fics: Let History Repeat Itself. That was disappointing.

    Nice mindless bandwagoning there, mate.

    This is the library section, where constructive necros are encouraged, last time I checked.

    Knoq's message that the link is dead doesn't count as a necropost in the library.


    And, yeah, the archive I linked in the first post has been moved a while ago and now is password protected. I'll look if I find the file and update the first post tonight.


    EDIT: I uploaded the text as attachment to the first post of this thread.
