    I am looking for fics a bit like this, and perhaps more like this. Fics that have prose that doesn't make me grimace, surreal humor and with the mood swapping from lighthearted fun to bleak existentialism regularly. I would like a fic with no scene separation. The sort of thing a bored lit major would write briefly, only to forget about and leave abandoned, eventually raised in almost recommendable only to be ignored. It's a guilty pleasure.
    What do you have for me, DLP?

    Nothing. All fanfiction is pointless in the end.

    If you're a nihilistic dick, then everything is pointless. I am not, and use the term in a pretentious attempt at irony.
    I may as well ask for 'unique' fanfiction. ^_^
    Edit: I'd say this counts as pointless as well.

    In that case, may I suggest Reload? It's Naruto, but it's well done and has some of that stuff you mentioned already

    I think I may have already read it. And reread it every time it was mentioned here.
    Thanks anyway.

    Hmm, tricky customer ehh? Not to worry, not to worry.

    Hmm, try this one on for size. It's a bit long, and a highly Ooc but I enjoyed it nonetheless

    Meh. I used to follow it diligently, but I got bored at chapter ~50. Whenever I try to reread it the awkward prose pisses me off too much.

    No, no, definitely not.

    No matter. Here, try this one out. 29k, humourous, quite good for time-killing.

    Well go on, give it a read.

    I read it in 2010. And again in february. Still, I should thank you for your patience with a rec of my own.
    This might do it. It's haruhi, but I doubt I have any HP recs you wouldn't have read yourself.

    Not to worry, I've yet to meet a poster who I can't find a story for.

    Hmm, I wonder.

    Perhaps, this one.

    I've read it. Still, a skim ought to kill 10 minutes.

    It was better than I remembered, but not by much. I liked the description of Remus.
    I suppose I owe you. Here's a friendly chat between the brothers Black.

    It's curious Mr. Xakoro, that you should choose that fic, when it's author.

    Why it's author wrote this star

    That'll be 7 galleons. I take paypal and Owl Post

    Ha.
    Moving on with trepidation at having possibly been made to look a fool, fingers involuntarily turning puce with a clatter of laptop keys, I have indeed read the works of Shezza. Were he here, he would doubtless grow smug at the comparison.
    A fic for a fic makes the whole world blind, so here you go.

    Stupid HoS ruining the damn game before I could finish it. On the plus side, I have not read the last one so I'll read that tomorrow when I come back to work.

    From His Excerpts is pretty fun. The only decent Naruto/HP cross in my opinion. Kakashi is such a troll.

    I completely expected this thread to be fanfiction about Pointless.

    Don't know why. That would be silly.

    My oneshot, Flying, is pretty pointless. It's meant to be lighthearted only though, so there isn't any of that "mood swapping from lighthearted fun to bleak existentialism" and it's really short (less than 2k words).
