    That is actually the worst Sue-ism I've ever seen in my admittedly short experience of fanfiction.

    The Untold Tale » by Moonlit Night's Singer reviews
    This is the part of the Harry Potter stories that was left out. The part no one knew ... until now. This is Tori's life: her life at Hogwarts, her love life, and the troubles that she is constantly faced with. This is the life of Harry's sister.

    Remember I said that you might be able to tell alot about the story from the author's handle? If I was interested, I'd go over to FF.net and read the author's profile - I bet it's a teenager.

    Edited to add:
    I was a fool - I went and looked. The profile didn't include the author's age or gender, but there is got another story started. In the sequel to "The Untold Tale" (which is only two chapters long, so far,) Tori is married to Draco Malfoy.

    So... it's a girl, she's about 14-16, she's probably into writing soppy poetry. I'm sick.

    ugggh.........grimace. I can picture her now.........abnormally large, greasy emo haircut, sock on her arm, dipping her head like there is a bucket of kfc in front of her while she listens to 30 second's to mars and types up her new project............Harry/tori/sevi-pooh/draco-buns, slash, Mpreg, anal orgy ........fantastically titled...........path beyond the stars or some such random shit.

    shudder.......to use a past quote of your's Banner.." crawls of to DLP library where I know I'm safe."

    I can recall a few worse ones, but they were Mary Sue parodies...

    ... really? How about "Delight Bordeaux" or "Jezebel De Marco" or "Polaris Malfoy"

    Anyway:

    'Delight Bordeaux'? Are you serious?
    And Jezebel. Geez.
    I usually look for good fanfics by looking through someone else's favorites- anyone who can write a good fic usually has good stuff in their favs section. It's a good method, I find.
    I'm into Naruto these days, but sometimes I regret it.

    Slash, slash, and kitten slash. And soulmates. I feel like retching.
    Oh, and has anyone ever read a good 'James/Lily/Sirius comes back to life' fic?

    I'm pretty sure that one has been posted before...


    as for the resurrection fics... no, I can't say as I have. I've read one or two that started out OK, but they tend to go downhill fairly quickly.

    From the disclaimer it looks like Severus gets Albus pregnant. Doesn't that sound nice.

    Oh, urgh.

    Although I've seen far, far worse, the last one (the SSAD one) made me sick. Am I losing my immunity?...

    Hey, Doctor, where did you get your sig?

    ... Did you have to put in a quote?

    Found this on the first page when I went to the HP archive at ff.net



    It has fucking nothing to do with Harry Potter, for one thing. And one of the numerous other?....


    I'm serious.
    In case you don't know, 'Ellesmera' is the name of an elven capital or something from the famous-for-being-plagiarized Eragon.
    Those five questions remind me of a Mary Sue test.
    1. Do you have a tragic past?
    2. Can you read an ancient text which no one else can?
    3. Is your country embroiled in some bloody strife and ripe for saving by... *gasp* you?
    4. Do you have an outlandish name?

    Livejournal, somewhere. I think it was someone's avatar. But who's splitting hairs, eh?

    Yes. If I had to suffer, so did you.

    That story is amazing. At one point I'm laughing, the next I'm gnawing at my wrists.

    They are too alike to hate each other, but are they too alike to love one another? Ginny, now 22, needs to know if this could ever work and she needs to find out sooner rather than later.

    Good god, major squick here. He's 45 if my math is right.

    That's where you start to get....nevermind.

    The logic defies my reckoning.

    How the hell are Ginny and Sirius alike!?

    Here's my contribution (which seems to pale in comparison to The Doctor's):

    ...

    He is "founded", folks, Harry is a building.
