    I think so. Honestly, plotlines started jumping all over the place after that to the point that it was quite literally incomprehensible. It dropped into random non-smutty femmeslash quite suddenly without another mention of Harry ever again; ended up Tracy/Girl!Malfoy somehow. Something to do with Crabbe and Goyle smelling bad and Malfoy borrowing Tracy's shampoo. I kid you not. I think if I'd had half a clue what the fuck was going on most of the time I'd be offended for the sake of the English language, but frankly confusion overwhelms any other response.

    Girl!Malfoy works for me, somehow.
    * picturing poor Felton in high heels and a miniskirt *
    That would be a fun scene for the last movie.

    Now that would have an interesting effect on the fangirl psyche. Would probably lead to a shitload of crossdressing!Malfoy/Harry pairings though, so it probably wouldn't be worth it.

    Well, "your" and "typical" are beyond this author's spelling capabilities, but at least he/she managed to spell "Hogwarts" and "quidditch" right!

    "betraylment"? is that even a word? And "alliegance"... I'm trying to decide if they mean "allegiance" or "elegance".

    I was seriously considering boiling my screen after the posts by Bratling (I can always count on you, dear!) and LadyKitty (welcome to the board!)

    but ... wow.
    WIZARDS IN SPACE. What'll they think of next?



    Edited to add:
    Y'know, that might be a fun concept. Think about a Hogwarts that has been moved to a (large and self-supporting) habitat in the Belt. I can see the Twin's decendants starting the first Luna-based wizarding business. The Weasleys, guided by the muggle-raised, get in on the ground floor of the first few commercial colonies.
    Actually, the more I think about it, the better it gets.

    Another edit:
    The author could arrange for Apparition to be limited by gravitational pull or interference by atmosphere or hazards on/near Earth's surface, so develop or create Long Distance apparition skills: fast transport in free-fall.

    More edit:
    It's lucky that this is in the "Worst Summaries" thread; otherwise the more senior DLP'ers would flame me...
    Still, this is a logical progression of the Statute of Secrecy. If the Wizarding World is going for complete withdrawal into its hidden enclaves, then they need to develop some sort of dimensional pockets or else get completely offworld. The 'Belt is BIG. Big enough to hide any group for A Long Time.
    This begs the question of whether magical creatures and flora could thrive (or survive) away from Earth, but it makes for a nice thought problem. I can see lots of complications. Plenty of stories for a HP 'verse framework set ... oh ... two centuries in the future.

    Where should I go to look for something like this - that is Well-Written?

    Only one good story I've ever seen with that premise, Nonjon's Firefly /Serenity crossover, and it only worked because it was a Firefly story that had Harry Potter in it.

    Ummm... I didn't believe that anyone actually WATCHED those "shows." I had no idea that there was a "the money or the girl" option...




    (By the way, I had this entry typed up in an open window for some six hours, waiting for someone to answer. Just to avoid double-posting.)


    Edited to add the link. Thanks Doctor, and I apologise for forgetting it.

    Forgotten Silence » by Bittersweet Alias reviews HPBZ Slash AU: Harry’s eyes enchant and he doesn’t know it. He seems innocent but he‘s not. He smells sweet and he is. He tastes sweet and it’s even better. Blaise wants him and now. Follows Harry through 7th year with a few major plot changes. MPREG!

    This summery actually gave me an upset stomach.

    Kinky Bear takes it by kinksbear reviews A Harry/Ginny pairing, warnings for tying up/smacking/sex - don't read if you don't like these. One-shot after the war. AU.

    Kinky..

    The Right Beginning » by Granger21 reviews Harry was suppose to have grown up with his true race. The elves. This is how it should have happenend. This story is NOT based on JRR Tolkien's elves nor anyone elses, these elves are mine! Chapter 11 and 12 are up, a bit short, but better than nothing.

    Yeah...I bet these elves are gonna be soooo unique :rolleyes:

    Not as bad as I suspected. It's Draco/Hermione, and Harry isn't in the contest, since he's dating Ginny.

    On another note, I swear I've seen a The Bachelor/Bachelorette fic floating around somewhere...

    This should be called Extreme Extreme Makeover.

    Edit: Well, Hermione has a brain underneath all that bushy hair; she takes Polyjuice instead of mutilating herself.

    To further confirm I read this fic in part, why is Draco always described as sexy? Is it because- No, of course it is. Tom Felton.

    Is there ... umm. Is there anything actually IN the story? Or is it another one of those "This is a penis" repeating lines?
