    Title: Making Friendship Bracelets For The Death Eaters
    Author: Avada Cruimperio
    Rating: T
    Genre: Humor
    Status: Work in Progress
    Summary: They may be called Death Eaters, but this group of minions are anything but evil, and they've decided to replace the Dark Mark with something much more fashionable... friendship bracelets!

    This wasn’t recommended yet – or did the search engine have a grudge against me? It's similar to Evadne’s Once Upon A Freakin’ Time, original ideas though. Very, very hilarious and lengthy, if without a plot.

    Excerpts:

    And…a dodgeball tournament between the Order and the Death Eaters...

    It’s funny at first, but becomes quite repetitive and its humour is somewhat childish.

    I agree that it's repeating more and more old jokes as it gets longer. Still, I like it. It's not a bad fic at all.

    Well I figured that a neglected story needed reviews. That is why they are called “neglected” after all.


    Anyway lets hop to it.


    This story starts off with an interview and an advertisement, while I've not exactly seen this before, it isn't really enough of a hook to keep me from clicking the big red magical x. Indeed the only thing that kept me from doing that was the fact that I've not seen a proper review of this drek.


    I'm going to take off 1 point just for no hook.


    Since fucking when does Voldemort or the Death Eaters use telephones? Also I should point out that these are AMERICAN toll free numbers. The British use a completely different phone number system. Furthermore why the hell would pureblood wizards even bother listing a phone number anyway? Don't they use Floo calls and such instead? A grate number or address I could understand but an American Phone number.



    Add to this that the Death Eaters are apparently some rock group....



    I'm going to take off 4 points for “bloody stupid”.



    After reading a total of five paragraphs I clicked the magical red x and this disgusting crap went away. Over all I give this a FAIL/5.

    Are you serious? You decided to review some mediocre story from back in 2006? What the hell was the point of this?

    I mean sure, it was a (somewhat) legitmate review and all, but seriously?

    ...Exactly what Rehio said. So long as it's constructive, posting in old library threads is not only allowed, it's encouraged.

    My apologies then - I don't know how, but I somehow managed to miss that notice. For almost a year. Still seems somewhat unproductive to me, but obviously I was incorrect.

    Yeah, it was a legitimate review, and that's always welcome in the library, even for stories posted in 2005.

    That aside, what is this thing doing in the Recycling Bin at all? Moved into the Trash Bin.
