    The writings poor, but if it's for charity then you can't complain to much.

    What are guys harping about? That was great. It was witty and funny and humorous. And[/]b it had Sirius and James. On a motorcycle!

    I almost died laughing. At least that answers my question about who would love the series so much so as to pay a shitload for that drabble. An investment, rofl. Jo should be so proud.

    Does anyone think it's actually a good investment? I mean, if she tries to write some fiction intended for adults, the whole myth satus could drop like a stone. Or not (as long as mugglenet exists).

    Fail... Attention Whoring, JK will not repent, will repeat, and thus, it fails, HARD!! There was nothing witty, humoristic or linguistically pleasing about that latest drivel ála JKR's anus...

    Gosh, and we have none of them here...

    I agree with Taure, the writing was awkward, and the humour attempts were crap, but honestly, it was better than I expected from JK.

    The vignette isn't well-written at all, but neither is it that bad. Humour seemed forced, however, and the scene on the whole was rather dull.

    The real lulz comes from reading the comments from the rabid Mugglenet fangirls. Comments like "simply amazing" and "truly brilliant" made me wonder whether they have actually read even a semi-decent oneshot before. I'm pretty sure JKR could take a blank postcard, wipe her ass with it before submitting it as her entry and those same fangirls would still be lauding its brilliance.

    You summarised perfectly my every feeling towards the Mugglenet community :D
    Edit: btw, have we flamed the bitches in the last few weeks?

    Maybe it's time for a mass DLP invasion of the CoS Forums.

    Edit: Jesus fucking Christ, they have individual forums for chocolate and ponies!:eek:

    Change your name Vash, you've been overtaken.

    That's fairly disturbing...Not to mention nauseating as hell. So you're saying there are worse things that S.I.Y.E and Mugglenet out there? Burn it, just burn it.

    Urgh...disturbing *shudder*

    Well, I´ve read this "Prequel" and can only say:
    "They should have asked someone else with experience in oneshots."

    It is for charity, but think about it like this...

    If you sell crappy stuff for charity more than once, people will eventually start to learn and won´t buy it (or at least not for such a high prize)!

    It could have been from every new fanfiction writer, it had nothing from her style which she kept til book 5 and which nearly vanished after that. It wasn´t unique and not even very funny.
