    Ad Nauseam

    Author: Minnionette // Rating: T // Genre: Humor/Parody Complete

    Summary: Since Harry didn’t succeed the first time, he goes back into the past to fix his mistakes, again. And again, and again. Too bad no one explained how Voldemort tagging along was just the Universe keeping things fair.

    Review: Since time-travel is my fic of choice among the fandom, I found this a nice turn of phrase. Certainly crackish enough to have a chuckle over light, easy fare. I figured this wouldn't go over too bad as my first recommendation.

    I honestly don't really give that much of a damn about the posting format all it needs is a link and a brief summary for me most of the time. But rules are rules fix it up quick and no-one will really care all that much.

    It may be because I'm in a grumpy mood but that fic wasn't funny. It's so short I can't really talk about what was in it without spoiling it. I suppose it might be worth a quick glance through, some might find it vaguely amusing.

    2/5 because it didn't even make me smile.

    It made me laugh, but to short, and not really interesting.

    So, 2/5

    It's nice for a crack fic, but nice is all.

    2.5/5

    It's a good concept though, done well it would be one hell of a fic.

    That was boring.

    What a waste of time reading it.

    2/5

    Not that great, but it certainly made me crack up a bit.

    3/5, because am in a generous mood today.

    Gah, it's like an unfunny snippet from those Time Loop threads on TFF. Grammatically it read just fine, but it's three minutes of my life I'll never have back.

    2/5

    Not bad, not good. Some of the ideas here have potential, and the writing was fairly solid.

    3/5, because I was expecting worse.

    I'll give it a 3/5 for its solid writing and the couple of chuckles it gave me.

    3 / 5 because it isn't bad - it's just plain average.

    I think Rorschach has done a fic with Harry repeating one day over and over again and there are a few similar fics. But both Harry and Voldemort redoing the loop again and again is new.

    It's good enough when you're bored, but nothing special overall. 2.5/5 rounded up to 3/5 because it was entertaining after all.

    I laughed once. Here:
    “I suppose that means I will never find out more of that Gryffindor/Slytherin orgy that distracted my Death Eaters and allowed Dumbledore to live. By the way, don’t ever do something like that again. I still have nightmares of a naked Minerva McGonagall screaming in ecstasy.”

    You aren’t the only one,
    Harry thought darkly. “Are we done delaying the inevitable, Tommie? I’m getting tired of chatting up the past with you.”

    2 stars. For a one-shot this short it needs more than just the one laugh.

    Okay this fic makes me angry on so many levels. I come in here wanting to find something so terrible I can give it a fail/5 rating and I end up getting something somewhat funny.

    All in all not bad for a crackfic. I give it a 2/5. Its funny, but its still mediocre.

    I believe it's spelled "duct tape" instead.
