    I don't think so, in the movies the robes are more like capes and if they had slacks and so on in school they should have had no problems picking presentable clothes at the world cup.

    Yeah, great point, if they always wore normal clothes under the robes, a guy dressed in a dress and all other sorts of weird clothing that went on, wouldn't happen. I'd imagine the movies are way off of what she had in mind.

    Another one:

    Writing Horcruxes into stories that previously did not have them, and them writing them in so poorly it makes your eyes bleed to read.

    she wont have to.
    because of course harry and ginny's love is so strong they dont need to find the other horcuxes to kill voldemort.
    thats the JKR style of writing now.
    now the best way to do it would be find out who RAB is then find out oh he has most of the horcuxes we only need to find one or two.
    that you can do in one book.
    but JKR will probably half ass it and copy some bad fanfiction for her story.
    thats a neat little trick she has there introduce something new then see what other authors do with it then steal their ideas.

    lol, I don't read many Post HBP works, basically because I'm waiting for the length of the fics to get longer. I don't read one chapter or two chapter stories unless they're like sequels or something. So, luckily, I haven't seen any post HBP cliches yet.

    Daily Prophet issues a special report just about "DARK LORD IS NOT A PUREBLOOD??!?!"

    And then proceeds to repeat generally the same report 1,000's of other fics have used, accompanied by the flame words changing the names.

    Exactly that's why the prophet would never report about something as trivial as Voldemorts muggle father.

    Definitely not with him alive. They'd all be dead within 24 hours of the paper hitting stores. I think thats one story Rita Skeeter wouldnt touch with an 11 inch wand while he was still alive and kicking.

    Maybe someone could put this in a story, lol. Where they get fucked up for printing it like the dumbass cunts they are.

    hah, I don't think they would do it, they're not afraid to "criticise" the Light side, but won't accuse the 'dark' side of anything. I feel like Malfoy is their secret editor, or something.

    Voldemort raises Harry as his heir. There's so many of these it's not even funny, and it usually involves Harry being good and Voldemort cares for him, etc.

    Why NOT get banned?

    Why the HELL not? Shit if more people would quit using
    FF.net maybe we'd get some intelligence behind their tries
    at 'moderation' and fewer 'good' fanfics would be removed.
