    Although werewolf/metamorph reproductive-focused mating rituals might actually be new and exciting and different.

    This is why some people should stick to reading non-fiction.

    You know, the first thing I thought when I started reading the first chapter was "You know Andro, you are not going to flame this poor guy. And yet, here I am..."

    What's worse than songfics? Songfics where they change the words!
    I hate songfics at the best of times - I hardly ever recognize the song, and the lyrics lose So Much without the music. The only time it works is when the author says something like, "I had the "The Dark Side of the Moon" playing while I wrote this (short) chapter." This one just irritates.

    Over at Ficwad http://www.ficwad.com/story/70421


    When did I get so old I don't even recognize the BAND, let alone the song? :cry:

    ...Don't feel bad. It's probably for the best that you don't recognize that one, simply because I'm almost positive that "H.S.M." is just a way to shorten the title of the movie High School Musical.

    Kill it. Kill it with fire.

    Edit: I wouldn't be surprised if someone had already done this. Imagine:

    Harry is the star of the Hogwarts Quidditch Team. Hermione is the brainy captain of the school's Scholastic Decathlon. What happens when they come together to sing on Karaoke Night? Pure magic, that's what!

    :wall:

    Edit 2: Spoke too soon.

    Sometimes, you can tell a lot about the story based on the author's name. Anyone who chooses cherishmoirababydoll probably isn't a very good fit for DLP.:p
