This is fanon Sirius. So yeah, that totally fits.

 

So, I was looking for Snape re-do fics that don't start with him as a child and more importantly aren't happening before he destroyed his friendship with Lily. One of things I wanted to see was him winning her back. I found a one that was rather good and complete - Knight of Pentacles, Queen of Wands. In this story Snape goes back to the day after he became DE and from there starts his plotting against the Dark Lord.

 

The Exiled » by BadVoodoo Ten years after the fall of Voldemort 51 students disappear without a trace from the Hogwarts Express. Auror Major Harry Potter is called upon to resolve the issue.Crossover - Stargate: SG-1 & Harry Potter - Rated: T - English - Adventure - Chapters: 3 - Words: 9,165 - Reviews: 21 - Updated: 7-17-11 - Published: 7-4-11 - Harry P.


A nice Stargate: SG-1 crossover that's just getting started. I honestly think it will be library worthy, but there's not enough there yet to be sure. It features Auror Harry and his team dealing with civilians after being kidnapped and placed on a ship, by a group of people, presumably the NID or the Trust.

 

It's listed as SG-1, and the story suggests the planet is in this galaxy. Also, it's pretty bleh.

 

Sounds like a SG:A crossover to me?

 

I read the first chapter, and it seems alright. What about the rest of it? Is it any good? I don't want to invest myself in a story that hits the fan, ten chapter alter. =P

 

Like I said - rather good and complete. Of course if it was really good, I'd post this in the review section, but it doesn't suddenly become unreadable. It's also short - a little less than 35k words.

 

Now this is on the lower end of the almost recommended scale but its readable and the chapter 6 (I think) nudged it into my guilty pleasure list. Being overpowered/super items will probably turn most of you off it.

 

I read (well... half-read, half-skimmed) chapters 1-5 (which were bad) to get to chapter 6, hoping for something to redeem it. what I got for my pains was a bit of half-arsed IceQueen!DG, Heirtoeveryfounder!Harry, Unsortable!Harry, new Marauders, etc etc. Maybe I just stopped noticing them, but I'd really thought people had stopped writing these fics years ago. When will people learn that Super!Harry =/= Awesome!Harry? That the actual writing is fairly competent just makes it worse.

 

I'm enjoying The Adventures... far too much for my comfort. Admittedly it's almost like the writer is deliberately trying to stuff every cliche under the sun in it, and the only thing I haven't seen yet is technomagic (the computer bit doesn't really count). Still... a time-waster.

 

Very classy.

 

That story is a clear 0/5 on my scale. It's not even worth it to describe all the story's failures. It's just that bad.

 

I couldn't make it past the Terrence and Phillip reference. Maybe I'll give it another try later.

 

After I read that, I started skipping to see if it got better. The next thing I really noticed was:

What. A rather blatant reference to the Third Hokage. Ninjitsu. In Harry effing Potter. Plus Harry has a katana.

I'm horribly bored while waiting for work so I'm continuing to chapter six, but at this rate this belongs to the 'awesomely bad' thread far more than this one.

Edit: Unsalvageable this fic is.

 

Harry Potter and the Skeletal Key only has 4 chapters yet but is really promising. There are a few beautiful details in it with really lovely characterizing.

 

^ This story technically sound but uninteresting at best. Not to mention very short.

 

There isn't much plot yet to judge but I really enjoyed reading the few chapters because of the small details and character work. At least I think there's some spark there. Now only the plot needs to keep up.

Within the frame of cliches that encompass this story, it is written as realistically as possible. Not really library-worthy and not typical DLP fare, but it's not bad.

Warnings: Abused!Harry. Again, not the typical fanon representation, but it's still there. Super!Harry. Not the typical fanon representation, and not to the same degree as usual, but it's still there.

Characterizations are mostly decent, dialogue is both good and bad at times, writing is technically competent, slightly wordy, but overall not unpleasant to read. Depends heavily on your tastes to enjoy.

 

Well, I enjoyed it. It's a fairly common idea, but the way it's written is just that little bit unusual. I agree, it's not Library worthy, but it's definitely an interesting read, and something I'll be following.

 

I liked it. It needs some work and has some unfixable flaws, but it was an ok read.
