By far the funniest fic I've ever read in my life. The second chapter especially had me on the floor laughing. If you read one humour fic this week, make it this one.

How's that for Pro-Advertising, eh?:lol:

i cant believe that this wasn't posted sooner..

 

This is mostly fun, but weird in some parts - flashes of extreme angst and gore, and then humor again. Very strange story... abandoned too.

 

Damn! Knew I forgot to add something. Oh well you can't have em all but it is a funny story, though that might be my warped sense of humour coming in to play.
Hope you like it.

It has been way too long since he updated this one. I love this fic, I'd agree it is one of the funniest ever. And frankly, the extreme angst and gore I thought was pretty funny. Not to mention it adds a nice dimension so it's not just a humor, but a good old fashioned legitimate drug!fic.

In my memory I only remembered how funny it was. When IP82 said it had "flashes of extreme angst and gore," I had to look it up before I remembered he sort of punched Bella's skull until he'd caved it into a pile of mush.

Definite classic. It's one of three tied for my second most favorite Ruskbyte fic. Evil Be Thou My Good is number one, but this one, Midnight Avatar, and the Quiet Place are all tied for my second favorite. Then again, my least favorite Ruskbyte fic I think I'd still say I love.

 

...and then breaking down in a heap of snivelling anguish, only to jump up a minute later and go on with fun and games... like I said, very, very strange story.

Agree, "Evil Be Thou My Good" is his best work. "From the Abyss" is probably my second favourite - probably the best crazy & vengeful & Azkaban Harry story. "Backwards Compatible" had a great idea, but too much needless angst ruined it IMO. His H/G novels are pure crap, though.

 

Umm He's high on dope... How else can he act after caving someones head in??? That said I always liked reading this story. Pity he hasn't updated in a while.

 

Twenty two minutes and six seconds.
Gotta love that
So who thinks this is hilarious?

 

I don't know if you're already aware of this, but he's been reloading (after edits) Backwards Compatible to fanficauthors.net for some time now... He just recently made it back up to the last known chapter of Backwards Compatible and so I'm expecting to see some new stuff any day now. He's also posted a ficlet short short called Skewing the Odds which wasn't too bad, even if I did think it a bit short. There's also a short called A Little Homework which I hadn't noticed until now, so I'll be reading for a bit, thank you for making me look!
