    Lol i'm ashamed it was just some guy trolling, though in my defense it looked pretty legitimate.

    I think that only applied to DLP members. If we are talking about the whole Fanfic demographic I think there are far more females

    Because DLP has no tolerance for that things the average fanfic writer (a 13yo girl) likes.

    It's not a HP/NT fic... it's a harem fic. Among other awful things about the story.

    I wished my parents made a decision that lead to me owning a harem. Live is just so unfair!

    I suppose if the girls weren't into it it could suck. On the other had I could probably make do as long as I was getting laid.

    You can't see the downside of needing to make sure that many women's needs are attended to all the time? Really?

    :awesome

    I can see it. It doesn't sound awful though. Challenging perhaps. Additionally, there's so many variables — from distribution of 'power' to characters of everyone included, that blanket "awful" seems touch premature.

    Trust Maths to take the fun out of a harem.

    I can say with 100 percent certainty that I would find it "awful" and not "challenging."

    Canon Harry seems like the type to find a harem awful as well.

    I hate when authors turn single pairings into harems because they can't make up their minds.

    Or more likely because they're teenagers with random boners. Your scenario is actually worse though.

    Imagine that morning bathroom scenario. You would need at least n+1 bathrom, where n is the number of girls you have in your harem. (+1 secret bathroom where you can poop in secret)

    Unbreakable by r.m.ravenswift
    Cradling the young woman in his arms, he gazed into her piercing green eyes. "Always" she whispered. Severus reverently kissed her forehead as he watched the brilliant fire from her eyes fade into dull embers. This is his spiritual journey to find the light within the darkness and a purpose for living.


    My answer to harems is a magical contract stating that this is a purely friends with benefits situation.

    I actually like the idea of a Harem!Harry story where it's only causing him grief and he's not getting laid at all.

    I thought this was the thread for fanfiction's worst summaries, not for collective wanking.
