    Title: Harry Potter and the Delusional Disorder
    Author: 1411eastwest
    Rating: M
    Genre: N/A
    DLP Category: Independent Harry
    Pairing: Harry P. & Pansy P.
    Status: Work in Progress
    Summary: After witnessing the horror of Voldemort's rebirth Harry has a psychotic break, and begins to believe that he is actually a Jedi Knight. Semi-crossover with the original Star Wars Trilogy.
    Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5997034/1/Harry_Potter_and_the_Delusional_Disorder

    This is a delightful little crack-fic, that takes itself just seriously enough that it can't be dismissed with a role of the eyes. I never thought Jedi!Harry would be worth reading, but turns out it is.

    The author as had a very persistent update rate with his previous fics, all of which are titillating--even if there is that tendency so marked among the spotted barley post-pubescent boys toward the harem.

    A Solid 4/5

    Dead link is dead. If you know where to find another copy of the story, please inform the library staff.

    I honestly found this not only humorless, but quite pathetic as well.

    1/5 - Terrible.

    Of course, I only read the first 2 or 3 chapters, but yeah. Not good.

    Dare I admit it? I actually find quite a lot of charm in this little fic. It's not the greatest thing to grace the human language, but it's mildly amusing for a while.

    Not library worthy.

    3/5

    Not even decent. It just kind of rambles on without any sort of depth. 1/5

    Not library worthy at all. I found it confusing to follow. 1/5

    This is a guilty pleasure for me, but I am waiting for the fic fail. I've looked at the author's other stuff and it's pretty much all shit. Its still kind of early to rate it (I think there has only been 4 or 5 chapters), but at the moment I'll give it a 2.5/5.

    This author has a way of drawing you into his web of crack, and the update rate and consistency in completing stories is a pretty large plus in my book. It's almost like the Sci-Fi original movie version of Harry Potter fanfic: lolzily bad, but in a good way. Can't you just imagine Sci Fi running a commercial for this: "It's Harry Potter, and he thinks he's a Jedi! Watch him kill stuff with his lightsaber this Saturday at 9 (8 central)!"

    Depending on how things pan out I'll probably give it a 3 or a 4, I won't rate it for a couple weeks yet (by then it should have 10 chapters or so).

    Normally a fic of this quality would hold my attention until the third spelling error, but this one is oddly enthralling. It's certainly not DLP library worthy, but I like it. I'd give it a 3/5, purely based on my bizarre like for the story.

    It's alright.

    Honestly, I think it would be better if Harry actually tried to act like a Jedi. You know, all that stuff Yoda and Obi-Wan were saying about how Jedi have to be calm, centered, etc. etc. I suspect the author intended to portray Harry this way, but...eh.

    As-is it seems like another generic super!Harry 'fic where the traditional 'instant shortcut to power' happens to be Star Wars themed. That said, it's a decent read and does seem oddly compelling.

    I'm holding off on my rating because the last chapter's cliffhanger suggests it might be going in a new and hilarious direction.

    Apparently, Voldemort is Harry's grandfather. Or maybe it's part of Harry's delusion. It would be awesome if Voldemort were the one freaked out by the revelation. 'No! That's not true! It's impossible!'

    O.K. I can't believe i'm saying this, but I loved it. Not because it was well written or anything like that(which it isn't). But I still find it somewhat compelling. I think it's the little things, like chopping of Dumbledores cursed hand that really make me smile.

    anyways it's a 3/5, not library worthy but a guilty-pleasure non-the-less.

    There are a bunch of little things that made me smile in this fic. When Harry snapped his wand because 'Yoda says you have to be commited' it was done so casually that I actually laughed.

    Unfortunately the last chapter introduced some pretty fail ideas even for a crack fic.

    Also, it looks like everyone thinks he is nuts, but I want to see people start to believe he is a Jedi with force powers instead of thinking he is just a super wizard. This has the potential to be entertaining, especially if he starts gathering a 'Jedi order' as Dumbledore fears he will.

    I rate it 2/5 for now, but if the author stops having Harry compare everyone he knows to Star Wars characters and fixes a few things I might rate higher, since as a time killer the story is pretty enjoyable.

    The link is broken, and the author has experienced Author Existence failure.

    Google-fu brings up this. The guy's new name is milver, and indeed the profile is blank, he pulled a KiP-Fetuccini/Oblong/WhateverHe'sCalledNowadays.

    You know, author keeps changing his or her pen name, confusing the hell out of his readers and even claiming that Fettucini plagiarized Oblong's Knowledge is Power who is also known as SerpentSannin.

    Pity. It wasn't very good, but it was decent Recycling Bin material.

    Since both the Author and the story have been deleted, I presume this thread will be too?

    Pity, it was a very amusing read too, before it went shit at the last chapter.
