    If it's real, then Shezza is a woman.

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4545504/1/Aspirations - especially good if you dislike Hermione. GoF divergence, Hermione also doesn't believe Harry. HP/GW, but imho readable (both are ruthless and don't cry for their fallen enemies). Finished, light reading, good ending.

    megamatt09's stories are plot driven with 2d comic like characterizations. After his latest wave of storie*s* about Harry with Supergirl Harems I started to consider that the writer has some obsessive compulsive disorder.

    @samkar: All I'm saying is that it's a decent time waster that doesn't leave me frustrated over its protagonist's actions or inactions, not the best thing since sliced bread.

    I'm assuming you mean the story by plums. It is inspired by and basically a vast expansion of Sword and Magic, by bluminous8... which, itself, was never finished.

    I'll agree that (aside from a few grammatical bugaboos) it's a good story and an enjoyable read.

    On the other hand, it has literally only just started, and is nowhere even close to being complete. The sixth chapter was posted just last night. The day this story is completed is almost certainly a long (but hopefully eventual) way off.

    It is shaping up to be pretty good, though. plums seems to be taking more time with the pacing, rather than plowing on ahead with the relationship(s), which can't hurt.


    megamatt09... I think he's one of the people that (among other things) does that collaborate/corroborate thing that drives me up the wall.

    Megamatt09 writes a lot. Not at a high quality, but he gets a 5k+ chapter out every few days for each fic he's working on, and about one chapter a day in total.

    However, a lot of his stories are based on challenges from WhiteTigerWolf, sometimes other authors. But the challenges basically amount to "Harry is very sad, and has sex with Kara. Then pick four other girls from the list below, and Harry has sex with them too."

    Dark Dragen also liked WTW's challenges, although preferred them to just turn into orgies. At least MM09 tries to give some semblance of plot.

    Megamatt09 is like rice - he's decent enough if you just want quantity. I've found myself enjoying the start of most of his stories, although they deteriorate sooner or later.

    The repeated girls in the harem each time, especially as only one or two of them get any real non-sex scenes through the plot, gets mildly irritating. As do some of his repeated typos/errors.




    Last Second Saviour is one I'm quite enjoying. It doesn't really differentiate itself from all the other started Harry/Aayla stories yet, but most of them end up abandoned, or updated once a season, so this is a nice change. As long as it doesn't turn into Harry/Aayla/EveryFemaleInTheGalaxy, I'll definitely keep reading it.
