WTF.

My newest pet peeve are your posts.

 

Well she will if she doesn't want several little Harrys running about.

 

So, Lord Hadrian James Potter-Black-Slytherin is peachy, but Lord Hadrian James Potter-Black-Slytherin-Ravenclaw is too much? Got it.

My pet peeve is when Harry has more than 5.3 billion galleons in his vaults.

 

Nice to know my posts have such an impact on you.

Harry being the Lord of one of the Founder House is good, but two at the same time makes me feel like he has all that power and he uses it just for showing off.

You should know I didn't mean it like that.

 

My peeve is bringing up his exact amount of money at all. I can't think of a single story where it actually mattered, with the partial exception of Bungle.

 

I mean it was annoying for the first few years of fanfiction where Harry literally never used his money or title to his advantage. The fact that everyone is always making him use all of his resources doesn't particularly impress me, but it doesn't surprise me either.

 

Yes, the current meta is an amoral, proactive, intelligent Harry and that essentially requires that he use the resources at his disposal, as the excuse that he doesn't realize he has them just isn't as valid as it was in canon for some reason. I would hope not to be venturing too far by saying that authors have imitated other authors who have experienced success with these tropes and the current meta for Harry is as different as possible from the canon depiction, as well as the meta we remember from a few years ago(for the most part). Readers get tired of the same tropes and the writers respond by using different tropes. As far as I can tell, it really is that simple. If I'm correct about this, there's no need to worry, since readers will get tired of the current meta and we'll see something different.

I'd say people's evaluation of gifts would depend on your relationship with them and why the gifts are being given.

 

Giving your main character shitloads of money just makes it really hard to relate to them to be honest.

 

The Biggest Pet Peeve For Me (and I think for most of you): Abandoning A Story, and a story which is promising or great. (and I am directly looking at you Forging The Sword)

 

"Herms". Who the fuck could actually think that is a good shortened version of Hermione.

 

Thank god your story was absolute shit when you abandoned it, right?

 

Not abandoned, trying for a better re write, while the new plot has many major differences from the old one, and toned down the length. If there is any advice you can give me, please give it. I am also looking through various writing advice threads, including Halt's and the dialogues thread.

 

In Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga Herms are a genetically engineered third gender with both sets of sexual organs and mixture secondary sexual characteristics. From this we can conclude that if anyone should be called Herms it is Cho.

 

Woah, banned already?! WTF did he do?

 

He bullshat the forum quite persistently.

 

Noted; thanks for at least replying.

 

Normally I manage to skip over people confusing words but just read one that had violation instead of volition and argh.

 

Anyone seriously referring to magical political blocs as "light blocks" and "dark blocs", as if some group would want to be tarnished with that name. Yeah, someone might say it derogatorily, but it's not going to be an official name.

Conservative and liberal or some variation.
