    I definetly don't want to think about, let alone see, a Ginny/Wormtail. On the other hand your first wish can be granted... http://forums.darklordpotter.net/showthread.php?t=2605.

    Personally I think a Harry/Hufflepuff might be more interesting.

    Harry grows up the same treatment with the Dursley except from Dudley who became his best friend. Harry is a member of Dudley’s gang and they terrorise and bully other children. Bully!Harry

    After Dumbledore places Harry in the care of the Dursley, Privet Drive was attacked by the remaining Death Eaters. They succeeded in killing the Dursley and proving that the blood wards are inadequate in protecting Harry.

    After the defeat of the Dark Lord by the hands of a one year old baby, one of the inner-circle Death Eater took his place and continued the war.

    In the PS/SS book, Snape helped Quirrel in acquiring the stone.

    Harry discovers masturbation early in his life. He uses it as an escape in the cruelty in his life. He became so addicted to it and in turn saw the brilliance in life, the sexy curvy female body. ClosetPervert!Harry

    Harry realise that his treatment from the Dursley is illogical and in turn hated things that have no logical reasoning. When he was told that he is a wizard, he hated it. Magic has no logical basis and the Wizarding world and government is even worst, he despise them. MagicHater!Harry

    Snape choked in his food when he glared at Harry (first year) in the opening feast. He died and Dubledore is forced to get a new potion professor.

    Harry is raised by Snape and discovers that, he is his real father. He fall in love with Draco, but he has a secret carnal desire for his real father. They butt fucked each other and lived happily ever after… Just kidding! Don’t take this shit seriously.

    In an AU world where Harry's parents didn't die, Harry falls in love with Lily, and wants her for his own.

    Dark Jedi Knight: That’s been already done by Vash in Oedipus Flower. It’s not love per say, but lust is close enough.

    Yes, the idea I stated has been done before, but; one time, a cliché, does not make.

    Anyway, BOT: ideas... ideas... ideas...............*looks over at Please Teacher! DVD boxset* EUREKA! After staying back after an Astronomy lesson during either fifth or sixth year, Harry recieves 'private tutoring' from Professor Sinistra. Barely ever see that idea done, and never done well enough for my standards. In fact... *goes off to make new request in the Smut Shop*

    In accord with my fandom of choice, I'd like to see someone do 'Harry Schneider, the Exploder Wizard' and do it well. Be it as a crossover, a fusion, or whatever. It'd be a decent meld of both pervert!Harry and blowsthehelloutofanythingthatpisseshimoff!Harry. I once tried scribbling up something in that vein, but it never quite worked out, and while it wasn't utterly horrid I just couldn't find the motivation to get the hell on with writing past the prologue.

    For a non-crossover choice? Hmm. Let me consider ...

    Well, I'd concur that getting a well written Hufflepuff!Harry story would be at least middlingly interesting. Not necessarily heir to anything, you understand ... maybe he just got annoyed at both Malfoy and Weasley on the train, something happened to make Ravenclaw unappealing - first meeting with Cho didn't go well, maybe? Or somesuch plot device - and he ended up going 'sod it, I've had enough of people telling me what I should think and who I should be friends with. I want somewhere where I can just be myself, and that's bloody it!' which lands him in Hufflepuff. If only because I haven't seen Gryffindor, Slytherin, or Ravenclaw being great advocates of people finding their own way. Of course, it'd also be a story prone to making people experience all sorts of tooth-rotting 'feel good' fluff if it wasn't done quite right.

    Somebody actually continuing the 'Heir to Gargamel' short. Because it was funny. *snrk* Blue communist gnomes.

    Harry being appalled at the seemingly casual use of Memory Charms in the Wizarding World, and that nobody sees anything wrong with this.

    Taking this further, Harry becoming hard and uncompromising where things like morals are concerned, sort of like Rorschach of 'Watchmen' fame.

    Making a spin-off of that particular idea - superhero!Harry has been done before, and rarely well. Here's an idea that I haven't seen used before, but that might work out decently, and fit in with the 'Dark' bit that we all love so much -
    young Tom Riddle had always known he was something special, despite the discouragements he'd faced at the orphanage ... however, before he could use some of his 'gifts' to pay back those who'd wronged him, he caught somebody's eye.
    Now several years have passed, and Thomas M. R. Cranston, adopted son of Lamont Cranston, moves back to Britain to find out more about his heritage. And, quite possibly, do something about that Grindenwald fellow.

    ETA: There is no 'final battle'. Voldemort goes out with a whimper, rather than with the bang most authors insist on giving him. How, why, etc. is free for the author to choose, since it's the concept itself rather than the possible execution that tickles me.

    Harry discovered that he is just a painting and playing the star role in a wizarding soap opera. It could happen when he tries to flee and allways ends up in one of the paintings that are created for the series and then he askes himself what is wrong with the world. He died at some point and they took his imprint to sell the series with the stories how he could have grown up.
    It could even make a strike!Harry with him fighting for the freedom of painted beiings.

    Personally i would like to see a story with Herbology(sp?)!Harry, he just keeps plant seeds in his pockets and throws them around to kill people with. keep a devils snare seed in your pocket make it so it can feed off of another persons magic and just throw it at them and let it kill them.
    or potions!harry, not like hes a potions master and has sex with snape all the time, but more like he keeps vials of potions on him at all times and you know some potions are like the potions in gauntlet legends where you throw it and it causes damage to a specific area.
    or Rune!Harry, now ive seen one story with this and its not to shabby except for the fact that all the knowledge of runes just come out of no where when Harry hasnt even taken runes yet. But i like the idea of harry using runes to boost his magic and allow him to do other feats of magic.
    or, the last one, Arithmancy!Harry, where he uses numbers and curse breaking skills to their fullest potential. Like using it to find holes in wards, or using it to boost the power of his spells in some arithmatic way.

    all these are ideas id like to see done haha.

    Redeye, I did a Rune!Harry fic, imaginatively named The Rune Warrior. I don't claim to it being good, and I warn you it uses a fair number of cliches, I wrote it before I joined here if I remember correctly.

    I think something that could be good would be a Harry who is completely apalled at the idea of violence. Not a gay!Harry, just that he can't quite fathom the fact that people want to hurt and kill each other. He refuses to learn spells that have obviously violent uses. IM not meanign like the levitation spell, where he could see obviously non-violent uses, but things like the cutting charm and such like. Probably better done as a tongue in cheek type thing, though perhaps not exactly a complete parody, but a bit OTT and such like.

    Harry with a very obsessive fixative personallity could be good. Like he sees or thinks of something he wants, he can't get his mind off it, at least until something else comes along that he wants. It could be quite funny.

    How about harry lets sirius/remus kill wormtail on POA and sirius gets his name cleared. Snape's pissed off because black's happy so he goes out to find Voldy on his own.
    or
    Lily/James are still alive because they were DE spies for Voldy and now are his most faithful DE's.
    or
    Harry goes to Gringotts on his 17th birthday only to find out that the Potter's are dirt poor and have no family vault..

    That last idea could be good, perhaps expand on it, and find that the vault he has been using since first year, was actually supplied due to an arrangement with Gringots, made by James Potter, saying something like "If our child is left parentless, then you shall give him ample monetary means to support himself during his schooling. Upon the end of his schooling, he shall be obliged to repay all moneys spent, either through pure monetary repayment, or service to Gringots." Yeah, Harry goes to the bank on his birthday, expecting to hear his parents Will and such like, and comes away knowing that as soon as he graduates from school he will be forced to work for Gringots, for no pay. Could be quite interesting.

    Interesting idea. That would definetly put a sock in all the people who write Uber-rich!Harry.

    I would like to see a near Enlightned!Harry. A young Harry find peace within himself by however means. I think that would work well with Pacifist!Harry. It could also cause problems fro Voldie if he took Harry's blood.

    In that thing you call a closet. Better watch out,
    Superstitious!Harry. A Harry who believes every superstition. It could be a good humor. I can imagine him throwing salt over his shoulder and blinding Ron.

    Haha, that has Nonjon or Roarsch written all over it, god that would be funny. Could you imagine harry seeing a black cat and all of a sudden ron gets hit by the knight bus, i mean the author could write it in a way so that nothing bad ever happens to harry but to ron or someone else instead..

    I would like to see a Harry that was captured and brought to Voldemort. Then Voldemort casts some kind of Fidelius variant on him to avoid any traitors from rescuing him. In the result he erases Harry's existence from everyone's minds.
    Voldemort doesnt trust anyone with the secret so noone knows and Harry escapes because noone is aware that he exists. Then Harry is completely alone and the only way for him to get to talk to someone is to kill Voldemort.
    So he can effectively do whatever he wants, sit in Dumbledors office the whole day, talk to the hat and listen to Dumbledores meetings, can get all books and go into each lesson he likes or just stroll the Alleys and take whatever he wants. In the best of cases he would enjoy the silence and not miss anyone anymore.

    The second idea was a kind of potions/alchemy AU enacting "The Young Poisoner's Handbook" were he experiments with poisons and potions and starts to experiment using his relatives. He could finally be caught like in the film and sent to St. Brutus'. He wouldnt know any magic but be a genious in potions and alchemy.

    How about a angry at dumbledore harry goes to gringotts and finds out that he does infact have a family vault but there is less than a 1500 galleons left it was all spent by his ancestors. And rather than dumbledore stealing from him,his trust vault is actually what dumbledore gave from his own vault for him to live off of


    Harry would feel like such a dick
