Who is what? I thought Justblaise was talking about Sirius mother Walburga Black (hardly a Giant), If you mean Hagrid's mother she is Frid..something.
And you don't necessary have to be ugly or beautiful... you can look average too, like I always imagined Eloise, Karkaroff, Skitter, Regulus, Pansy to be, sure they all have bad traits (noses, teeth, hands) but their general appearances can still be bearable. If I remember correctly Regulus was bad compared to Sirius, and their mother can just be aged..

 

Fridwulfa I believe...

 

I know I'm very late with this, but Oz commented a few pages back on the lack of HP/FF crossovers and I think this one deserves a mention.

HPFFVII crossover. A summons went horribly, horribly wrong. But who cares? Now Harry Potter and Cloud Strife are on the same world. Harry, that sword's too big for you. YAOI WARNING

"Harry, that sword's too big for you."???

I haven't yet dared to look inside, but if one of you does, please tell me how badly it screws up.

As for the peeves, I think all of mine have already been done to death, including some I had never even thought about.
​

 

I began reading this one when it began.....but I really don't enjoy rewrites, my imagination is capable of doing that by itself. It really has no major changes to the original game and in fact takes away from it. Which was the other one Maybe I can ignore the slash, miracles do happen you know?

 

Oz, have I wronged you in some way? Why by the saggy tits of Bella did you do this to me?

The actual premise of the story is pretty decent and can arguably be very good...after a lot of work.

But its been written by a rabid fan girl. A fan girl in possession of some grammar skills at least (never thought I'd see the day) but a fan girl. Enough said. Did you notice her infatuation (obsession?) with the no. 666?

I was so displease that I actually thought about posting a one shot that my sick imagination cooked up to torture me with when I was reading through some of the peeves posted here.
Be glad I desisted, because it contained such things as "Hogswartass" ( I actually ran across this particular...word...in a summary on ff.net. Seriously, a hog's warty ass?)

Vodemort defeated through the use of a "Supremely cool and powerful spell that not even Merlin could use but Harry mastered in a couple of minutes."

And "Harry suddenly got a very, very, I mean REALLY VERY, bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. He stopped and pushed down...down...down...and suddenly he farted!!!!!
Frowning at the extremely foul smell, Harry wondered if it was another power that the dark lord knew not?
'I'll have to ask Hermione.' He decided."

A Soul mate...enough said.

A "Huge, Badass, mansion that Harry inherited from his long deceased uncle's even longer dead grandfather's 85th booty child's daughter who was born out of said grandfather's third wedlock and had been madly in love with him."

Said soul mate engaged in an orgy, in said mansion, minutes before their marriage, with Ron, Draco, Severus, everyone else and their grandfathers along with a whole bunch of house-elves. Don't ask me, I'm a victim as much as you here.

Harry witnessing said orgy and turning into a Dark Lord far worse than Voldemort, and nearly bringing the wizarding world to its knees. Then when he comes for revenge against his xyz soulmate, said soulmate gives an
excuse along the lines of being very nervous of the up coming wedding and that "I just couldn't resist Dobby's huge, throbbing member."

Then Harry gets all 'emo' and casts "'AVADA KEDAVRA!' But to Harry's immense surprise, his wand turned into a rubber duck!
'What the fuck!?!?' Harry exclaimed surprise.
'Um Harry?' His soulmate called.
'What?'
'Here.' She said, handing him his wand back,"You forgot this back at the mansion.'"

And overcome with this act of 'pure-love' Harry forgives them and they all live happily ever after.

See what my imagination makes me suffer through? I titled this "Harry Potter and the Stupidity of Fangirls"

Had to ask my seven year old brother for help, but I think this really does seem like a fangirl written trash.

And this really sums up my peeve for today. Adios!

Enjoy, while I and then and then again. Repeatedly.
A seriously disturbed DarIm.

 

Oh yeah....disappointed is one of them.
As I said, the actual idea has merit but the author couldn't do it justice, and not just because she is 'slash-happy' either...

 

Hmm pet peeves.

Unoriginal Evil!Dumbledore. If you're going to do it, stay away from the money stealing, relationship manipulating, 9 blocks on 500 mystical powers Dumbledore we all know and hate.

Long drawn out prank wars that end up with the castle being painted red or all the teachers being transfigured into various flora and fauna.

Relationships that go> Chapter 1 I love you, Yeah cool i love you too.
Chapter 2 Sex
Chapter 3 Betrayal
Chapter 4 Make up Sex
Chapter 5 Defeating Voldemort
Chapter 6 Victory Sex

If your going to write a relationship. Put some effort into it.

Any fic that focuses on the Weasleys or Hermione.

 

You know, *I* would like a prank war that the Teachers would win. Or at least bring it to a draw, for a change...

 

I would like no prank war if possible... Maybe I am not easy going enough and too old fashioned but I severely dislike prank wars in Harry Potter fanfiction and the world.

I could even go as far as calling it a Peeve of fan-fiction...

 

Yeah, I have no idea where pranks originated.

The only real pranks that we've seen were Fred and George in OotP, but this was solely because of Umbridge. They were less pranks and more political activism.

There are also the Marauders, but I see them more as bullies/people who cause chaos than pranksters. I can imagine them doing vindictive stuff that would seriously mess with the school, rather than innocent frivolous stuff.

 

True. In general, I don't like reading about them. The thing is, just like Harry's Wronsky Feint, it seems to happen At Least once in nearly every long fic.
If I'm going to have to read it, I'd like someone else to win, for a change.

 

Once I stopped reading any prank wars or quidditch, they stopped bothering me as much. In the U.S., the Midwest comprises "flyover states," places nobody would ever willingly visit; in HP fanfiction, prank wars and quidditch constitute flyover text.

Banner, I have a bit of a hard time believing your quote is from Will James. Electric fences didn't have widespread acceptance until after WW2 and Dufault died in 1942. (To be fair they were speculated on by Mark Twain in A Connecticut Yankee and had started being used in a few places in the 1930s).

 

@perspicacity, I've googled it several times, and never found someone to cite. The anecdotal reference is all I have. It does sound like him - for what it's worth.

 

Going along with the prank war trend, I hate when Harry and Co. decide to become the next marauders and say things like,

"Mr. Shadow agrees with Mrs. Moon that Draco Malfoy is a git."

God, that is so annoying. Would it be so hard for Harry to say, "Yeah, I think so to Luna." Would it?

 

Mr Saldric agrees with Mr. Dragonrider and would like to point out that maybe Mr RetardedFanficAuthor believes it will gain him lulz?

Enough of that, yeah i totally agree with you on that one. It's almost as bad as when Remus or Sirius call him Cub or Pup. Or when the "Golden Trio" decide to give themselves Marauder like names.

Another major peeve of mine in general (not just fanon this appliess to canon as well) is that people believe that because Ron is good at chess, he is automatically some sort of tactical genius.

 

If we didn't believe it, there would be no justification for Ron at all...
