    When I mean Harry/Retard, I mean a retard, not a crazy bitch. Crazy bitches are sexy. Retards are just rerr-tarded.

    Quote it, mah fuckas.

    But I could definitely see Harry falling for a brain damaged or slightly twisted post!HBP Nymphadora. She survives but is in the hospital for months. Harry is taking care of the kid out of a sense of duty, and is avoiding his friends and Ginny on purpose. Nymphadora wakes up, Harry is there and she thinks he is Remus.

    Here are reasons why this works: Harry thinks Nymphadora is sexy as all hell and can't help but be attracted to her. He loves the kid and honestly wouldn't mind raising it as his own. She is dedicated to him, and once she is released from the hospital, she goes as far as to call him Remus during the first time having sex. She shifts into anyone he wants whenever he wants.

    Now you could make some very decent drama if she's slowly coming to terms with Remus' death. Harry becomes attached and she no longer wants him. There are honestly a shitload of ways to flip this one.

    Anyway, y'all can return to the topic...

    Nah, comes from my time playing Kingdom of Loathing if anything. Everything that was '2', was always followed by Electric Boogaloo. Obviously in itself a reference, but that's where I get it from.

    Didn't Rowling already do the Harry/retard pairing?

    This was indeed a good time waster. The author may have tried a little too hard to make Daphne undesirable, but it still worked. That said, I think I liked it best how Harry kept getting away with killing the teachers he didn't like. While I've seen Harry get away with murder in ultra-angsty-dramas or crack fics, I don't think I've ever seen it played so...smoothly before.

    A Harry slightly based on Dexter from the TV series. I liked it. It was good. The first chapter had some spelling errors. But after that, it improved.

    The story is told in 2nd pov. It has a potential to become a good Dark Harry story.

    I've been reading that too. It's pretty good so far.

    A word of warning, it's written in second person. The author seems to be handling it well though. His "Wizards are stupid" collection is an interesting read as well.

    Errrrrr...no. It's readable (no obvious spelling/grammar mistakes), but there are no other redeeming aspects.

    Here's one to keep an eye on: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5865042/1/Tyrant

    It's been five years since the Dursleys sold Harry to a ruthless new pharmaceutical company. Now with no memory of who he is or what's been done to him, Harry's life takes a sharp turn when a werewolf attack forces him to confront a past he can't recall.

    It's pretty new and only onto the second chapter right now, but I see potential. I am really hoping this doesn't snowball into a massive mountain of shit, but for now it's a fun little read.

    Good find. I enjoyed reading that, even though I'm not that big on Resident Evil. Hopefully those sudoko puzzles aren't hinting a master chess player/tactician!Harry. After all, puzzles=genius.

    Yeah I hope they're only there to supply comic relief like the 'Barcelona Incident.' Like you, I'm going into this with little canon knowledge of Resident Evil, but I still like it.

    One thing I'm curious about is how rolling back a decade or two will affect Umbrella Corp, or if they'll even have a major role beyond supplying John's background. Maybe the timeline will be clarified in later chapters, because all the RE stuff always seemed very-near-future.

    This isn't Harry Potter, but I feel that I can't not show this to DLP.

    It's a Buffy and Sesame Street crossover.

    Summary: Before a girl named Buffy moved to Sunnydale, the Master gets a visit from an old friend, Count vonCount. Warnings: Violence, counting, insanity, and counting. You may never look at these characters the same way again.

    That... was seriously different. And there are 'twentyvun' chapters! Can the author keep up the awesome past a few chapters?

    Pretty funny, but I'm still waiting for the HP/Duck Tales crossover.

    Personally, when I saw the bit about Harry doing Sudoku my immediate thought was 'oh, this is how he's going to explain the usual Resident Evil-style puzzle bullshit'. You know, like how there's always a door where you have to find the three plates to recreate a Cerberus before it'll open, stuff like that. It would make a lot more sense if the protagonist's skill at logic puzzles is an established trait, wouldn't it?

    I never understood why they (RE Developers) decided that a hyper-advanced super company with underground facilities practically everywhere couldn't simply install an electronic lock on its doors.

    It would save the employees lots of time from going around to find the three pieces of a plate to reassemble on the door to unlock it.
