    I never actually read a story with Harry/Luna pairing so name some good ones?

    Also I rarely read Harry/Hermione stories as Harry is usally a bitch in them or Hermione/Harry are like 'I Don't deserve you" Cry Cry Cry "I don't deserve you'

    I'd prefer if Dumbledore wasn't evil.

    A year-old necroposted Harry/Luna rec thread...

    I'd recommend one, but Banner beat me to it. It's a damn good fic, though. And the author is awesome. And sexy. And modest.

    Did someone just say jbern wrote a good HP/LL story? Wow. This world is filled with some of the dumbest people imaginable.

    Err. I would actually say something like, "JBern has written an excellent story, that has a certain amount of HP/LL." Bungle in the Jungle is terrific, and the only thing that actually appears to be close to a romance is with Luna. That said, the series is FAR from being an HP/LL romance. In fact, Harry screws around quite a bit for a boy who starts as a mildly traumatized virgin.

    I think he means that, aside from what you pointed out, the Luna in Jbern's 'Bungle in the Jungle" and "Turn me Loose", isn't as loony as she should be.

    Not that there's anything bad about it, but Jbern's Luna is not 'Luna' per se, but mre of an OC wearing Luna's "skin".

    That said, Bioplague could also be trying to pull Jbern's short hairs, so we'll leave it at that.

    No. It's what you said at first.

    I read a bit of BIJ before I really grew to think jbern was a moron and from the Brazilian chick-mom to Luna Lovegood, it was stupid. Luna Lovegood isn't Lovegood. HP isn't HP in most stories, either but that's an acceptable change.

    He changed LL because he's an inferior author who is incapable of keeping her in character. He pretty much admitted to this and you can easily see it through the weakness of the reasoning. "Oh, it's all a joke!".

    Of course it is.

    Tehan, who is also a moron, is a vastly superior author when it comes to writing LL and I actually enjoyed his story. And I don't go by reviews or how many losers fellate an author so he wins the argument. He's done the best HP/LL.

    I also like the one where she knitted her own underwear and it had Snorckacks on it. It was decent and cute.

    Edit: I also love H/Hr. It is my preferred ship. Unlike most of the losers who find themselves in fanfiction and enjoy reading Harry going around and banging characters who have absolutely no attributes or characteristics besides "Ice Queen" or "Bitch", I'm the type of loser who enjoys reading about well-thought out characters.

    As Hermione is the most in-depth character prior to Half-Blood Prince and the heroine of the series, she was of course a favorite. Intelligence and the book says she's pretty enough. Some people can't get past the idea of someone having annoying features (like trying to get the dipshit main character to do something besides sucking).

    Or just have a problem with dealing with someone who pretty much carries the story from point A to point B while Harry flounders around being mediocre, to put it another way. It's difficult to call it a story about HP when the only person who does anything that doesn't involve a Deus Ex Machina is Hermione and Dumbledore.

    QFT. I rarely, if ever, read HP/LL. Tehan's work however, is fantastic, though he really needs to work on the update rate.

    Any idea what this one is called? Surprisingly I don't think I've ever heard of it.
