    We have a work by author section, post your chapters here, theyll get blasted, but probably (hopefully) mostly in a constructive way. It would be a trial-by-fire, they would take you to town on everything but you'll be amazed at the diffrence.

    Hell, just post a chapter at a time of what you've allready got, see what people come up with.

    I couldn't get through the first chapter. Please tell me this is some new form of 1337 or some other such twisted slang. Please tell me this is a joke.


    THERE ARE 20+ CHAPTERS OF THIS.

    Edit: 50+ chapters. not 20.

    A very successful troll story. It has damn near 500 reviews. That's more than most of the library.

    The sad part is that people are so willing to review joke stories.

    As a born and raised Floridian, I have to say that I am slightly appalled at the way he wrote. If you cannot spell, well any of the words that you are using, than you seriously need to look into some adult night classes.

    This whole southern thang about horrendous speech, yeah that's not even remotely true. I don't live in the city, but the only time I ever here anyone talk like what he is implying, is when we are making fun of other media that sticks to this 'country guy/gal' cliche.

    I admit it. The sheer wtf-ness of jO bekke at HUgwRts made me laugh.

    This is apparently:facepalm, THE most reviewed HP Fanfic story. What I think it is, is an excuse to make a bunch of AU crossover smut.

    ...most reviewed? I think that distinction belongs to MoR, followed by An Aunt's Love, The Marriage Stone, and NoFP.

    But yeah, it's pretty awful.

    638 reviews? That isn't even approaching anywhere near a high review count. Maybe it is the highest on that site though.

    So I checked, It actually is the most reviewed on that site. The top 3 for that site are:

    1. The fic from my previous post

    2. Dragon Child by Kirkmenistan

    3. Animagus Mishap! by dragen

    I'm going to think about my continued usage of that site if those are it best.

    I have some stories to add to this list. They're stories that really quite aren't eligible to be in "Almost Recommended" because they're the stories that have retarded ass ideas. Such as "my parents really aren't James and Lily", or it's a cliche ridden Harem story (and a badly written one at that).

    First story: http://www.ficwad.com/story/181694 (Titled "Complications of Pureblood Customs...")
    Summary: After the war Harry, finds he is a heir to many pureblood families and custom demands that he ‘take’ their members…Harry/harem explicit contain.

    It honestly sounds like a sack of shit to me with just the summary alone. Not to mention, his writing ability is just...atrocious, to say the least.

    2nd story: http://www.ficwad.com/story/183897 (Titled: Crown Prince of Avalon)
    Summary: On Harry's 13th birthday, his Fae/Sidhe heritage awakens. The weird sisters tell him that Lily and James Potter are not his real parents, but that Lord Oberon and Lady Titania are his biological parents.

    His writing ability is not quite as bad, but it's close. The idea of this story is just plain fucking retarded! Seriously, do authors have absolutely NO creativity these days?! Harry's parents are James and Lily, not fricken Avalon assholes. His writing ability sucks donkey balls all the same as the last story.

    3rd story: http://www.ficwad.com/story/183561 (Titled "Obsessions")

    Summary: What if Hermione had an unhealthy obsession with Harry. What if she went to the extreme.

    It's yet another fucking retarded cliche ridden "potion" story. Except that both Harry and Hermione used Amortentia(sp?) on each other, instead of Ginny/Harry. Seriously, what the fuck? Authors are just stupid these days. Nothing original about this story. Not to mention it's BORING! I read this dumbass story, and I wish I didn't. It's a 1 shot, except for Canon ending, it's the same kids, except it's Harry's and Hermione's kids. They just have the same names. Talk about DUMB!

    4th story: http://www.ficwad.com/story/183560 (Titled "Aliens and Probing")
    Summary: Crackfic. How Aliens and Probing helped Harry save the world.

    It's supposed to be a funny story. It fell flat on it's fucking face because the author can't write characters who aren't OCC. Dumbledore wouldn't believe this bullshit. Period. The author is a god damn dumbass who can't write a good story. I tried reading this bullshit, and it was just lame.

    5th story: http://www.ficwad.com/story/183562 (Titled "How Ron Finally Became Famous")
    Summary: Funny opne shot on what would have happened to Ron after he left Harry and Hermione in the tent.

    It's also supposed to be the normal "Funny Ron Bashing" type story. It's retarded. No doubt about it. Goddamn dumbass authors can't write humor for shit!

    6th story: http://www.ficwad.com/story/181839 (Titled "Drunken Adventures")
    Summary: What if in the tent Harry found a bottle of Firewhiskey. crack fic warning may require brain bleach.

    Yet again another retardedly written story. This wasn't even remotely funny, it's so bad. I swear to god, I wanna punch these motherfuckers in the throat so bad. It's horrendous.

    And all of these bullshit stories are on Ficwad!

    Why would you go to Ficwad? Seriuosly, they make the common ff writers seem Tolkeinesque at times.
