    It can be amusing. Although I started reading ages ago, I stopped due to feeling tired with the whole thing. Gets tiresome, to be honest. Cliches blah blah blah, not enough funny, just gets frustrating. Had potential to be a lot lot better.

    2/5

    Eh, I didn't mind it that much. Deserves to be in the bin at least. Guilty pleasure for me, so 4/5.

    I read the rest of the story, and while it's not bad it's also not great.

    There are a few genuinely funny moments, unfortunately there are also a lot of places where it seems like the author is trying just a little too hard. Overall it's reasonably clever but forgettable--in a year and a half I probably won't remember a single about this story.

    2/5

    Why on earth is this story in here? Should be in the Awesomely Bad to Almost Good thread.

    This was seriously like reading an American Pie fanfiction piece with magic.

    1/5

    This is the ultimate guilty pleasure fic. You have to feel guilty when you see Harry smoking cigarettes, high-fiving Dudley, calling every girl 'babe' and then (and I cringe as I write this) dressing up as a video game hero for a Halloween party. I read it until it ran out of chapters - although I know I'll never read it again.

    I think that this story belongs in the Trash Bin - it's worth a look, but it's not a particularly well-written story and honestly, not up to the standards DLP (usually) holds.

    3/5.

    I liked it. It's a good story if you read it solely as a crack fic. It was annoying at parts, and the quantity of parties was a tad bit annoying and the story lacked a plot really. But I did love the Sirius polyjuice impersonation.

    Graded on the scale of DLP quality its probably 2/5. But I'm giving it a 3/5 based on amount of laughs.

    I think the Sirius polyjuice impersonation was the only stroke of brilliance in the entire story. That being said, Silens did say that this was mostly for guilty pleasure so I guess I shouldn't have been too harsh on my outlook onto the story.

    It can still suck a dick though for all I care. :rolleyes:

    Way too serious? Isn't that how fic reviews are supposed to be?

    Most here have already stated that this was passably entertaining as a crack fic, though it got boring fast. The other comments were generally on the story as a whole. Considering this is placed in the Reviews thread, I see nothing wrong with people pointing out the fic's faults.

    No reason to judge this differently than we do any other fic just because it's obvious this is more or less a frivolous piece of work to you.

    This sums mine up. Yet for some reason I couldn't look away. 1/5

    That was almost as incoherent as your fiction, congratulations.

    Didn't get a single laugh out of four chapters, boring as fuckkk.

    Who's the old lady, your mom? Oedipus Complex gushing in here? Your attempt to display some form of masculinity failed right there. Just go back to living off your parent's income you little fuck.

    If you're only going to remind us of Harry with that 'ebony goddess', then shut it. Your little mature scenes are about as exciting as watching paint dry on a rainy day.

    I didn't notice this little gem before. HAHAHAHA.

    Seriously, us nerds in the basement? Check the mirror slick, you're writing about virtual frat parties for now almost 30 chapters. Have you ever been to a party?

    Tell your old lady, who I'm gonna assume is your hand, that it can do better.

    This is really a better almost recommended fic than anything else. I can't really mock it that much as I still enjoy some similar fics, but by far most people (myself included) wont enjoy this fic. 1/5
