I was looking through some of the updated fics at FFN today and found this:

I burst out laughing when I read it. It seems to be exactly what most of the canon Wizarding World thinks of him.

Here's the link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3164159/1/

 

I honestly think that is a very good description, Dumbledore doesn't have to be the evil manipulator of Doom.

 

Yeah, I remember that fic. Not bad, except for Ginny butting in... Hmm, haven't read it in a while...

 

evil manipulator of doom? no, of course not. ffn authors accentuate his manipulations to epic proportions and suddenly the man who fooled a few negligable (read sarcasm) generations into thinking that he had every single person's best interests at heart is blatant enough with his evilness that he employs both her-my-oh-ninny and Ronald "chess grandmaster" Weasley to attain his goals. However, he is not this Superman donned with a suit of superfluffybunny love armor +5. While I personally see a man that clings to the one bit of hope he has in a world of death, I too fell off my chair laughing at this quote praying, against all hope, that this particular author is killed via quill (he is far too great to be seen utilizing a pencil, pen, or knife to write his story in his own blood).

 

I think it was meant to be sarcastic within the story, as in Harry is being sarcastic.

 

It seems a pretty standard description of Dumbledore from any indy!harry fic where Harry behaves like an immature baby who spends all his time ranting against Dumbledore. Though I do seem to remember reading this one as well.

Meh, the whole incapable, manipulative Dumbledore idea has got old for me; I pretty much like to take the canon view of him now. After all, he is one of JKRs better characters.

 

This person should be win an award or something because that right there is utterly amazing!
