    Let me know how it is, i'm passing over it by dubiousness, but i'd be interested if its decent.

    Edit: Aekiel, which is the Harry Mewtar one? A control-f didn't find "mewtar" on the last few pages.

    I was thinking that third evolved stage of the grass starter for the DS... Can't remember it's name though since I haven't played that one >_>. The one with the tree on its back that looks vaguely dinosaurish.

    That's what you get for not proofreading. Yes, AP was right, it was a typo. I meant to say that it has too many qualities that DLP wouldn't like.

    Bah. I gave up Pokemon after R/S/E/LG/FR, as the new generation just sucks and I don't have a DS. If they remake Gold and Silver, I might change my mind, though.

    Vaster Than Empires, and More Slow

    Written from Nagini's point of view. I'm... not sure what happens, but I read this and I think others should do the same, if only to explain to me what the hell I just read.

    Weird shit indeed. Ginny and Hermione converted to the Dark Side ? Well, I can see Ginny, but Mudblood Hermione ? This thing doesn't make sense.
    Let's not even get into the snakelove here....

    Summary: Harry Potter meet Crank. Just your average Boy-Who-Lived, Harry is poisoned by an ambitious Draco Malfoy setting off a chain
    of events that include rampant, explosive and over-the-top violence, gratuitous language and sex. If he stops, he dies. HP/NM/?
    Warnings: Ridiculous, over-the-top and unrealistic violence, sex and innuendo, and gratuitous language! Just like the movie.

    Starts like a pretty decent guilty-pleasure fic IMO.

    Vocabulary is unnecessarily high. Otherwise, could be good. :)

    Yeah, following that. I have no clue (and don't care, either) what it's supposed to be a crossover with, the important thing is that there aren't any persons or spells that don't belong into HP, and you can read it as you can any HP fic.

    Summary: HP/Buffy. Taken from the streets of London Harry Potter is trained as a Watcher but will he defend those who abandoned him to hell on earth when they find him after having thought him dead for ten years. Continued for Wardog71.

    Its quite good. I had thought about putting this in the For Review section, but decided against it.

    It suffers from the problems of Harry being too mature and perhaps too good. Those concerns aside, it's an enjoyable read thus far.

    If there was more to this fic than two chapters, I might have been able to enjoy it. As it is, its like starting a full sprint right into a wall. Also, the vocabulary is way to verbose and flowery.

    Even though you're not interested, just for the sake of it, I think it's a crossover with the film "crank" where the main actor gets injected with a poisonous mix (also called "cocktail") and can only stay alive as long as he has adrenalin pumping.
    Coolest scene is when he runs into an apothecary, and asks for epinephrin, but instead gets told by the junky who works there that he should take nose spray, and then inhales about 3 bottles of it :D

    Anyway, read the first chapter, you are all right, the vocab is a bit to... flowery.

    This one's too short and silly to put up for review, but it's good for a light laugh. The summary says it all. By michelle-31a.
