    Sadly I have read part of that fic, Oz. There is nothing minor about the punishment from what I saw. I hate fics like that because they seem to take the theme of corporal punishment and make the entire story revolve around it! I swear they have Harry getting his behind beat every chapter. Who wants to read that?

    At first I just thought this was a typically bad summary, but the end note just made me laugh.

    Ooh! Ooh! Look at the author's handle! You can tell she's educated, mature, and creative, as well as well-grounded in the sciences and logic.

    * sigh *
    There are times I Really Appreciate my handle.
    Usually when I think of all the Truly Nasty ones out there.

    Just another cliched Twin Who Lived story.

    I actually like the premise and basic plot of a TWL, but almost every single one I've read is phail.

    Things TWL stories need to do away with:

    1. Abusive/Neglectful James and Lily. This is just retarded.

    2. The Twin Who Lived is an arrogant, stuckup, prick. Yes, if you grew up into fame this is a possibility, but I honestly think James and Lily would be able to keep the TWL's ego in check. Based on what we know from canon, they are brilliant magically and intelligence wise. I don't think they'd let their kid become all "worship me motherfucker!".

    3. Harry becoming friends or more with Draco or Snape. Just fucking no. NO.

    4. Dumbledore overlooking Harry's talent (as these stories usually have him as above average in skill) or completely ignoring him for the TWL who is an unskilled fraud who likes to steal the glory from Harry and gloats/insults people whenever possible. Is often bff with Ron.


    These are just a few off the top of my head, but I would like to see a TWL story without these retarded cliches.

    I only just started getting into TWL stories, but they DO seem to be unreasonably angsty. Is there a brother-who-lived story in which they have a healthy relationship and work together to fulfill the prophecy?

    I doubt it, but I have a work-around.

    Harry is NOT the Boy-Who-Lived: his brother, Whatshisname is.

    Harry does everything but kill Voldemort. He incapacites him, puts him into a coma, then his brother quietly feeds Tom poison.

    The End (Well, apart from the graphic Draco/Snape/Ginny/Ron kill-off, and the gratuitous Harry/Hermione sex scenes.).

    Who the hell is Xander? Surely whoever he is, isn't going to have a go with a 'baby Harry'? merde I'm tempted to read that just to make some sense out of it.

    I think they mean Xander as in Buffy the Vampire slayer Xander.

    That would explain why I didn't (and still don't) have a glue who it was referring too. Never really got into Buffy. Thanks anyway.

    Probably true. But in fairness, I do remember coming across a HarryPotter/xXx crossover with slash and Harry/Xander Cage. Might have been the same author who wrote Harry/Riddick slash and crossed over with Pitch Black/Chronicles of Riddick.

    Yes, I wish I was kidding too.

    Probably not the one I was thinking about, but I read one where Harry was Lily's and Riddicks son.

    Xander from Buffy. There was also a Riddick/Harry/Xander threeway going around once too. :(

    I can hear Hermione exploding in horror from here. (I wonder if this is the real reason that Ron wanted an elf?)

    Wizard's Live Messenger » by o_O RaVeNcLaW.bUbBlEs o_O reviews The best chat logs EVERRRRRRRRR! xD anywyas, after a myseterious eternitical absence, i have resurfaced onto the face of this earth, and i come bearing a sixth chapter. LALALALAAAAAA! LALALLALAAAAAAA! RR&RR&RR&RR&RR xD

    Chat logs? And whats with the singing?

    Butterflies and Hurricanes » by Eadon Of Fire reviews Harry was only following Lily's last wishes when he drank the potion, he never expected this to happen. HPSS, femHarry. AU, non HBP or DH, character bashings, OOCness... no longer on hold

    Err wait...Lily's last wish was for her baby boy to be a girl?...and sleep with a guy old enough to be his/her father?

    Kitty Love » by phoenixmaiden20 reviews Harry has an accident and gets turned into a cat! If that wasn't bad, he finds himself in the hands of his enemy. Follow Harry as he tries to find a way to freedom, or will he want to? TRHP

    Why a cat? Why is it always a cat? Why not a pig, or a dog, or blood sucking leech?

    *sigh* :p
