You just need to train your brain to filter those bits out, or you'll never enjoy 95% of the fanfiction out there.

See, when I read it, my brain just picks up the highlights that matter.

1). Fawkes is a person (hmm okay)
2). Ron cried. Hermione's name in my head was "My sugary sweet bumpy lumpkins" which is much better than "Hermione."
3). Ron's dead! He's really dead! His death was useful, but he's dead!
4). From now on mentions of Ron or Hermione in the story should be run through the 'sappy crappy angst' filter before processed.

And so now, I can continue reading the story relatively unimpeded and unaffected by uninteresting teenage interpretations of emotions. Ta-da!

Oh gosh, that's worth a laugh.

With that kind of attitude, I bet you could have great fun trainspotting or watching paint dry.

Hehe. You're one of the lucky ones. I seemed to have developed a strike system:

Every moment where I cringe is worth one strike.
If I close my eyes in disgust, that's 2 strikes.
If I laugh, one more possible strike added to total strikes possible.
and so on...

Basically, 3 strikes and you're out.

Not many stories have lasted longer than the first chapter. Some are even out in a paragraph!

I think I managed to read to the end of chapter 1 in that story. And, unfortunately, nonjon's method won't work in this story, the rest of the muggle lovers get revived, - or are spirits of some sort - and are sent back in time to save the world! Wheeeeee.

I'm completely picturing the dirty hippies.

"Dude! Dude! Come on... tell me have you ever read stained-future?"

"Course I have man! It's crap! Complete crap! But I can't stop reading it!"

"But dude! Dude, hang on. Have you ever read stained-future... on weed!"

Admittedly, I've got to read something at work during the down times. And it didn't take long to run out of really good fics. So you gotta find a way to fight through the excessive amounts of romance somehow. Just hours and hours of training your brain how to skip over paragraphs and catch any semi-important bits.

If I had a strike system, I doubt I could even read hardly anything. Course it's fun to re-read the really good fics too. Some of them you realize, if you had read them now for the first time, you would have hated them and not even finished them. At least my tastes have changed since I started in on fanfic.

Course for a cool quotes thread, I think I've strayed a bit too much. So here's a cool quote for you:

"It matters not, muggle. Lord Voldemort wants pizza. Delivery."

'Even though Blaise and Harry were happy with the fact that they were both magical Trevor and Manuel...'

Coincidence how the comma was conveniantly missed out that time.

Everyone loves, Magical Trevor

Stringing together a bunch of runes had one of three effects: nothing could happen, anything could happen, or both. Harry had tried to mix a long string of time runes and transportation and had experimented with an apple. When he wrote the runes using his index and middle finger, the words had burned into the air like a dying flame; the colors of the deepest pale blue. He had been intelligent enough to attach the runes for "apple" that directed the spell towards said apple, or else he probably would have just created a reason for the Ministry of Magic to throw him permanently into Azkaban.

The apple disappeared when he cast the spell. Unfortunately, when the apple reappeared a week later, it was completely deformed, wasted away with a strange etched on the apple's surface. He took time to examine and research this as well, and after sneaking into the Restricted Section of the library one night, he found that the symbol belonged to a deity called Cronus, the keeper of time. Harry felt a shudder go through his body when he realized that this deity was probably VERY pissed off at him and as much as he wanted to go home, he put off experimenting with runes for a long while afterwards.

That was VERY cool. Where did you find it?

Dark Syaoran · Feb 4, 2006

Story I was just reading. Harry gets sucked into an AU. It was pretty good up until chapter 29... it's still good but I just didnt like where it was going. Too many people were making the leap into where Harry went.

I can handle Voldemort following him and Draco because Voldemort made him tag along, but as soon as Ron and Hermione went I couldnt continue.

It's called 'Vocare Prabia' and is located here.

It took another three weeks to find young Harry, who it turned out was in Belgium traveling with a group of soccer hooligans in a stolen double decker bus.

Harry's POV

Euro Trip! I swear this scene was influenced by that! That's from Blot's new story.

Taken from Lord of Caer Azkaban, chapter 18

It was a scene that was repeated numerous times around the country, though nowhere was it more chaotic then in the town of Ottery St. Catchpole here much of the Weasley clan was gathered.

The flock had perched around the dining room and watched the family with an unblinking stare; the silence was broken by the appearance of the youngest Weasley who, upon taking in the situation sprang into action.

The assembled family watched in shock as Ginny fearlessly confronted one of the strange messengers, and their shock only deepened when they heard her speak.

“How cute” she squealed as she gathered one of the uglier birds into a hug “who’s a pretty birdie, you’re a pretty birdie.”

“Ginny, do you think you should be touching it like that” Molly asked concerned for her daughter’s welfare “after all, you don’t know where it’s been.”

“There could never be anything wrong with this cutie” the youngest Weasley responded, heedless of the potential danger “what do you have on your leg, did you bring a letter to me, what a smart birdie you are.”

Removing the letter from the bird’s leg, Ginny read it and turned to her family “it’s from Hermione; she’s inviting us to Harry’s birthday party.”

Ginny’s pronouncement at the origin of the disreputable looking birds broke the ice and within minutes the Weasley family had written out their responses to the invitations.

Giving them to the birds, they watched in relief as one by one they left the Weasley home.

“Ginny” Molly asked her daughter slowly “don’t you think it’s time for the bird to be on its way?”

“I’m sure Harry won’t mind if he stays here a bit longer” Ginny said as the fed the ugly bird a morsel from her plate “he’s just so cute that I want to spend as much time with him as possible.”

“All right then” Molly said weakly to her youngest “as long as he gets home soon.”

“Ok mum” Ginny agreed “do you think Harry would mind telling me where he found him?”

“I don’t know dear” Molly said trying to keep her composure “maybe you should ask him when we go to the party.”

“I will mom” Ginny nodded enthusiastically as the continued to lavish attention on the bird “you’re such a cutie, yes you are, yes you are.”

Thats pretty disturbing...

radioactive · Feb 6, 2006

Funny as all hell is what it is, trust Ginny Weasly to take an immediate infatuation to weird, twisted, dark looking messanger birds from Azkaban. Add the fact that they're probably steeped in Harry Potter Pheromones (R) and there you go. Ginny blubbering with affection. uke:

Hermione suddenly thought of something that made her eyes go wide. Ron, who was sitting next to her, squeezed her hand.

“ What’s wrong, love? You look like you’ve just remembered you didn’t do your Charms essay.”

“ Don’t be ridiculous, Ron,” She said with a frown, “ I’d never forget to do an essay.

"Who are you? You don't know who I am, boy?"

Harry looked at the figure strangely. His anger was now being replaced by curiousity.

"No."

"I am the Dark Lord Voldemort!"

Harry blinked in the rain.

"Dunno."

The black figure who called himself the Dark Lord Voldemort looked offended.

“We’re going to that big white building over there,” said Ella. “That’s Gringotts.” She led them to the building, and the girls managed to disturb the goblin guards by cooing over how ‘cute’ they were.

Voldemort felt a sense of sick curiosity. He had not yet attacked, so why was anyone in the house screaming?

I think this one came from about three dozen different slash fics.

Rhea · Mar 7, 2006

The first one is from Adagio for Strings by Cassiopiea, the "cute" goblins are from Harry Potter and the Harem of Honeys by szordara. The rest? I kinda forgot to write it down....

Fine! -grumbles- I didn't forget, I was too lazy. Couldn't be bothered to click copy-paste twice. I have a bunch of cool quotes but without the source. The only reason why I know these two is because I read them recently.

Here's another one, without the source though...

Indeed, was Dobby got over the shock of seeing five of him, he seemed to get even more excited. Apparently, if serving one Harry Potter was an honor, than serving five was even better. Odd house elf logic.

Oh, Oh I know this one it's "Harry Potter and the Dance of the Warrior", or someting like that, I think.
