    I never read it so I'll take your words on it, though I agree the apparition that combines elf popping, is now quite cliche, there is one story whose title eludes me at the moment which was DLP material, so the cliche is not with out merit.

    No fair, it was one of the first fics I ever read when I got into fanfiction... And everyone knows that anything that happened over 6 weeks ago cannot be used in an argument :p. Otherwise the women would hold it over us for our entire lives XD.

    Also, I don't think I actually got that far, just saw that quote in another thread somewhere. Cause I can't remember anyone firing Pure Love at good ol' Voldie... Then again, I treat my memory like a guide to how events really played out :p.

    Don't women always hold things over your head even if they shouldn't?

    Yes and all too often it is a blunt object. Still though the only fic that breaks more Potter laws than Fates debt is Reign o'er me. That fic was a pile of horseshit.

    Anyone read a fic where Harry suddenly loses the need to speak incantations and just has to imagine something happening?Like super!magic that can destroy Voldemort with a thought from 1,000+ miles away?Magic that random OC american witch taught him?????

    Ah, yes, the Yoda-mentor, appearing from some faraway place and enthusiastically teaching Harry powerful techniques that have been held in complete secrecy for a thousand years. And there will be a lovely girl who, after being taught these abilities from the cradle, is NEARLY as skilled as Harry-after-a-summer-of-practice.

    On the other hand, I love it in this story -
    Mahou Mo Ken http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3441687/1/

    The characterizations (esp. a powerful, disciplined Harry) and the nifty concepts are BIG attractions for me.

    ahh, but everyone knows that when you 'Obliviate' a MC they always get their memory's back eventually.

    :rolleyes:

    And this is MUCH more angsty. The true goal of the Bad Guys is to Make The Good Guys Suffer. (That's why they gloat - otherwise they'd be more efficient - and they might win.)

    Let me guess... Draco/Hermione?

    Off-topic, but a while ago I discovered there are people that ship Dan/Emma. Yep, the actors. What the fuck?!

    God I Hate Hate Hate Real People Fiction. If you are going to make up lies about someone, and then Publish Those Lies, why not get a job as a gossip columnist? Fanfiction is pushing the edge of respect for intellectual property as it is - but we (usually)do it out of love, we don't get paid, and no one Actually Gets Hurt. In fact, most reputable archives won't publish any stories that the author requests not be used in fanfiction. Writing stories about someone whose reputation is subject to damage is abusive. Remember Rita Skeeter? Anyone who thinks HER lies were "pure entertainment, not to be taken as fact," is lying to himself.

    Here's another one: "Animagus Stoppero", the spell that stops an animagus from transforming...
    I wonder what the spell that forces the transformation is. Animagus forcero? Animagus transformero? No, I got it: it has to be Animagus Becomero!

    I bow to your greatness :cheers:
    As a gift, here's another incantation from the same fic: "Spellumin Breakostos". It seems to be the author's version of Finite Incantatem.

    I once read a fic that had a spell that was paragraph long.

    Though I think it was a chant to a ritual. lol.

    No, according to m-w.com "break" comes from Old English.

    Whatever its supposed to be it sucks........really really sucks,....did anyone mention stubefy? It's the authors version of a super powered stupefy. Creative huh? How about deathus maximus? Its an avada kedavra with a black light. I remember that spellcrafter!Ron created it. :puke:
