    So, he is not Harry Potter anymore, interesting... I wonder when will the authors learn that names must be writen capitalized.

    This ambitious little oneshot just got posted. It's perhaps one of the best titles in the history of fanfiction. From within:

    That's quite a disclaimener. Who wants to know who who is? We get a hint:

    Awesome. Do you suppose it was Slayer or Megadeth?

    ...Fucking epic failure. Heavy Metal? Honestly? *facepalm*

    Though this on their profile is pretty interesting:

    "Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."

    Oh wait...they copied it from another profile...nevermind.

    Wizarding mistakes » reviews Not everyone is flawless, even the best of wizards make mistakes. oneshotsHarry Potter - Rated: K - English - Humor/General - Chapters: 2 - Words: 1,165 - Reviews: 4 - Updated: 1-3-09 - Published: 9-1-08

    This is how it starts:

    A weird man, wearing only black, and a deep scowl, rang our doorbell.Of course I opened the door, my innocent brown eyes wide as I took in his clothing, he was wearing a robe, no, not a bathrobe, but a robe that you see in fairy tales and medieval themes, also, he wore a cloak.
    Naturally, I gaped, though I quickly gathered my wits and I questioned him, with my sweet innocent voice
    “What d’ja want?”
    Somehow this only made the mans scowl even deeper.
    “I am Professor Snape, and I am here to give you your Hogwarts letter” He said, his cold voice seemingly colder than it actually was.
    “Oh” I said, intelligently, looking dumbly around me, “come in”.
    I led him to the living room, where my parents where conveniently sitting, drinking thee.
    The Snape man sat down on his offered chair, and handed me a letter made out of parchment.
    Curiously I opened it, reading the first parchment that fell into my hands, somehow that turned out to be the supplies list.
    “Prove it” where the first words that escaped my lips
    Snape took out a slender stick and transfigured the wooden fruit basket into a tin one, never mind that it was a family heirloom
    “Surely, I can’t be a Witch” I exclaimed, flicking a stray strand of brown hair over my shoulder
    “Didn’t anything mysteriously happen when you where sad or angry?” Snape asked.
    I thought
    And thought some more
    “Well” I finally said “No” I looked up, meeting the mans eyes “Not really, unless you mean the incident that the TV worked it again”
    The man just shook his head
    Finally noticing the second part of the letter I read it “Uhmm” I said, uncertainly “My name is not Granger, she lives next door”

    As horribly written as that story is, I still cracked a smile at the mistake :p. Wonder how often that has happened XD.

    That's why I love/hate words that all have similar spellings. Wired/Weird, for example. Completely throws that bullshit out the window. :awesome

    Just for that? I mean a flamethrower is just so multi-purpose. Also it occurs that fire is simply to good for their kind, try dissection. It will help us to understand what makes them the way are.

    I really have no idea if the actual story is well-written or not,
    doubt I'll ever read it. But, the summary...

    That summary is just :awesome . And now, I'm apparently racist.

    Diapers really don't appeal to me.

    At first I thought it was an obvious troll trying to advertise his crack-fic. But apparently the author is actually very serious about it.<_<

    LOL - And we have a winner. DiaperWearing!Harry FTW. How does this story have any reviews? Are these people admitting that they have a secret fetish for diaper wearing?

    I can't stop laughing. 'Wearing' AND 'Using' diapers. Good God. I guess I'm a racist too.

    You people obviously miss the massive advantage of diapers.

    You don't even have to walk to the restroom to relieve yourself!

    Now how hott is that?

    Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Diaper!Harry?!? That is the official winner of the 'strangest thing I have seen today' awards.

    Although I thought racism was focused on things like skin color, not the belief that diaper sex was odd. But now I know that I am, and always have been, a racist. Just goes that you learn learn something new every day.

    Sadly, such a fetish exists. This comic is a good example.

    Ugh, I remember that fic. The writing was mostly solid, and there were some lulzy moments, but it just irked me to no end. Characterization was all over the place, and even the humor got tiresome after a while.

    And didn't Hermione become an Amazon warrior-goddess or something in this fic? That's pretty much fail right there.

    Emo Emu? I bet someone thought they were really clever when they thought that one up! :rolleyes:

    So the males are females and the females are males? Transgenderism in HP, FTW! :eek: Plus, mispelling of Sorcerer's. Too many bad fics out there these days.
