    If I'm not mistaken Kachina are some kind of native american totem puppets. Also, kachi is the sneezing sound of a korean manwha.

    Is it surprising that in the entire story, Harry is never mentioned once so far, but four OCs do?

    Really awful.

    For some reason when Molly, Ron, Ginny and Percy decide to kill Harry and steal all his money, Malfoy is there. No idea why they would invite him along and let him have a share of the money. They all take turns stabbing Harry Caesar-style too.

    That story would have been at least somewhat entertaining if he'd chosen to travel to like, a hour ago like Death suggested rather than ALL the years ago.

    Man, between Only You, Finally 17, and this, this guy really isn't making the best first impression on me. A casual, holistic stab at the kinds of stories he touts/writes might be something like "what you'd get if you combined George R.R. Martin's taste in subject matter with R.L. Stine's writing ability and sense of drama."

    Step 1: Click on the link to his author profile.

    Step 2: Read all his summaries

    Step 3: *Sigh*

    Wow, that must be a war crime somewhere.

    Has he posted since?

    ---------- Post automerged at 02:21 ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 ----------

    Oh God, I looked at his other posts; first thread and he makes the wall of shame. He didn't even bother to look around the forum.

    Honestly, blubbering on about that guy is getting annoying. He's had his day of shame, now let it rest, please.

    It's not the worst summary I've read, not by miles, but that OC name made me laugh.

    Huh... This person is actually quite good at writing.
    Not brilliant or anything, but with a fic that's not just gay smut, he/she could probably make something good out of it.

    Stole this one from a Reddit thread, but to be fair, I started the thread so I claim partial credit.

    ... the brain part is debatable.

    It's one of those summaries that makes you hope that the author is very young. S/he appears to be from India, so they might be able to blag the language excuse.

    Being an Indian is no excuse for butchering the language. Urban Indians in general have a good command over english. If you are writing a story and your language skills are lacking then it is expected to be called out.

    It becomes a Star Wars crossover about half way in.
