    Title: Dudley Lamented
    Author: Magicofisis

    DLP Category: Restricted Section
    Pairing: H/Tonks
    Status: Complete (I think, author leaves it with room for a sequel)

    Meh... Decently written but not memorable in the least. 3.5/5

    Some slash-friendly passages, and the old Post-OoTP Sirius angst was nothing but expected. Pretty good work overall, though. The idea made me smile, and the execution was excellent. I personally found the sex portrayal fairly realistic.

    4/5

    It amused me. More PWP than anything else, though.

    The start was average and clichéd, the middle was good, the sex was funny and the ending was epic.

    4/5 for me.

    First Warning:

    Wasn't slashy enough ... meaning there is slash involved in a story that is rec'ed at DLP. Huh ... Isn't there a rule about this somewhere?


    WTF is this crap!

    Quite right ... not enough slash.



    The entire first scene should just go away and be condensed into two sentences then inserted into the actual story. If the author did that then this would have been a decent little bit of mind candy.

    Slut!Tonks to the rescue, Jealous!Dudley, and a touch of H/Hr make this cliched story a very average PWP. But then we are notified that it is PWP at the beginning so I can't fault him/her for that.

    3/3 (keeping in mind that it was PWP) after the worthless slash scene. But I can't even score this due to the slash because it shouldn't be in the Library in the first place. Lord help us from Torn!Harry

    Read this one a LONG while ago. Back then I thought it was good. Huh, lets see how/if my opinion on it changed.

    EDIT: I couldn't stop laughing at those semi-slash moments. Weird.

    Anyway, solid 4/5.

    Yeah, I just skipped over the slash undertones, though this made me pause and wonder if the author typo'd:

    each boy’s tongue hungrily devouring the other’s mouth

    Very much a "wat" moment.

    And this is how you tell the difference between the pathetic obsessive slashers and the people who just don't mind reading it. the slash added nothing to it, just there for the sake of slash if you get my meaning.

    About the story, it's better as a humor piece than smut.

    3/5

    Hah, I just skipped over the beginning and completely missed the slash parts. :p

    Anyway, It was pretty funny. 4/5
