Title: Harry Potter and the Clueless Gopher
Author: PhilipL
Rating: M
Genre: Humor or Parody + Action/Adventure
Pairing: H/G will be the main pairing, but basically H/anybody female with a good body. Other pairings: R/Hr, Hagrid/Madamme Maxime, and, if I can figure out how to do it, Duddley/Giant Squid (just kidding about that last one)
Status: New Work in Progress
Sumary: SuperHarry! Don't know how powerful yet, but at least demigodish level. Watch as Harry battles fate without him knowing. Lots of flirting and maybe a relationship or two .

As of right now, I just started this fic. I love super Harry fan fictions, but am very much so fed up with the way every single one of them tends to do exactly the same thing. The point of this story is to make fun of those ideals while I work with my plot bunnies towards writting a new high powered Harry Potter.

Basically self plug but not quite h/g r/h. I hate the pairings, hence the reason I'm doing this story. Why must a godlike Harry end up with a girl a year younger than him?

I've noticed most people in this forum seem to not really like the pairings, that being the reason why I thought it would be a good idea to plug it. Maybe you'll enjoy my take on making fun of the pairings, maybe not.

Only two chapters, 5750 words so far, though a new 5k word chapter should be out by tomorrow.

 

*snicker*

Anyway I might read it when it is longer.

 

haven't any of you wondered whenever there is superharry there is bound to be h/g no matter where you go. i only seen some that aren't h/g yet super ginny.

and besides this is suppose to be free of h/g. goodness knows we hae enough of the crap in ff.net muggle.net etc,etc. 'shudder'

 

true, it's supposed to be free of h/g, but the only reason the main pairing is H/G is because JK made it cannon. This story I hope will spark an exception to the rule where more and more people will write the relationship for what it is. Harry having the hots for the girl and only being with her until he gets bored of her (which basically he already has). I think I should change what the pairing is because it's basically going to be Harry/many.

 

H/G is a cult, i tell you. A goddamn cult worshipping that slag heap of a woman and herboy toy.

Just look at http://www.ginnypotter.com/

It's scary.

 

we already saw that. some guy can't remember his name sent them a nice little gifts which unfortunatly they weren't grateful for.

'sigh' sad really they say we need a life, what hypocrites.

 

You know I used to be a cheerleader.In fact, I plan to do it again. Only thing about cheerleading is when one of the females has a problem. They are so emotional. Everybody has to be nice to them because if you don't they'll end up crying again. That shit get's annoying. Besides that, there's also the fact that I could honestly give a rat's ass about their opinions and emotions. Stretching time makes it all good though!

 

Wait I dont get why u posted that. Wat it have to do with the story.... :?:

As for the story I think ill read it when theres more chapters

 

Isn't Harry supposed to be like cheerleading or something in the third chapter?

 

He did, it's on the first part. I explained that they met 5 days a week, and stated

to start an example of what he did on the days he didn't do cheerleading.

I don't know what you mean by the question.

 

Omfg...it shouldnt be funny...its so stupid it IS funny. ..i cant handle it.

 

Please give a reason as to why you feel that way instead of just saying 'OMGZORZ tis fic is teh funny'.

Remember, people decide weather to read the fics in this library based on the other people in this community's opinions.

It is funny in a very haha, that's so retarded kind of way. The part where the Black family fortune gets taken was pretty well done, though I wasn't sure about Harry suddenly winning the 4.3 trillion pound lottery.

As for the cliches, you managed to hit some, but somehow they are not working. Like you have clearly obvious scenes of H/G but you don't support them or attack them. And then the scenes are way too long. That omakes in ch. 2 and ch. 3 really should be the format of your story. Crude dialogues with sharp if a bit clumsy wit.

Things like the whole "scientific" sprawl about how stupid the blood wards are ridiculous in a story like this and wasn't constructed very well. And the key "word" Atlantis shouldn't have been buried in dialogue half way into the scene; it should have popped out so readers know exactly what cliche you were going for. Don't EXPLAIN everything to us, just show us. Either we get it or don't. Keep it simple and short.

Decent effort but as it stands very very disjointed, contains too many wtf moments.

 

Thank you, super harry sucks anyways, i feel it is pointless and quite stupidly done. Authors always have harry as a god who loves Ginny and although he's a god he still goes to hogwarts and doesn't defeat Voldemort.

 

ROFL!

Well said.

I dunno, i gave this story a try, and it just didn't click for me.

Truth be told, i wasn't overwhelmed by the cliches...i just couldn't identify with it.

 

I just wish everybody gave reviews like you Mrriddler. I am not looking for everyone to love me/hate me and just say "good story" or "your story sucks." For anybody who writes for FF.net it should be about their style of writing. I will keep scientific sprawls to a minimum now, some I think will be necesary, and as for the obviousness of things... I am just trying not to over do it.

If every line of a parody is a cliche, I've found those stories to get boring really quickly. They just get so predictable that you know what to expect next, taking whatever element of surprise out of the story.

BTW, I finally finished the story line and if you don't like rich/godlike/harem harry then just don't bother reading. I thrive for the crude wtf moments that jump arround from a to 4.

 

Oh, well you definitely took that review better than I expected, good. And you took it as such which is commendable.

Actually I generally like rich/godlike/harem stories. (kind of have to, actually 8) ) The story has moments but just seems off. There was times when it looked like you didn't know where you were going but if do, then great becauset. Best of luck.

 

MrRiddler got it right several years ago. I think this is an attempt to write a 'Make A Wish'-style super!Harry comedy, but most of the humor is just bizarre.

First, why would you title your story 'Harry Potter and the Clueless Gopher' if you have no intention of providing said gophers? I demand gophers, damnit! Clueless ones!

It's post-HBP, and most of the 'plot' revolves around Harry having strange dreams that aren't really dreams. He gets trained by a sensei in Japan, is given an amulet with all the powers and knowledge of Atlantis, learns how to be a cheerleader...

You read that right. Harry has a dream about being a cheerleader, and the very next day he goes for a walk and encounters a group of cheerleaders practicing. How convenient. Well, one thing leads to another, as it always does, and an hour later one cheerleader has been kicked off the team to make room for Harry, who is a natural.

Anyway, that's the sort of thing that happens here. Harry is ostensibly preparing to find the horcruxes and fight Voldemort, but really it's just a catalogue of strange experiences. The author's tone is tongue-in-cheek, but he's too fond of breaking the fourth wall for humor. Not much of it works. Here's a sample:

An A/N, a pink quill, and a Harry who owns a 'Hello Kitty' notebook. I...don't get it.

2/5 - it's still getting updated after three years, but we're only 38k words in and the plot has yet to truly appear

 

OMGZ!!!1! I managed to read through it!

Humour was nearly non existent, and when it did exist it had to center around perversion, or the cliches in fan fiction. Action and Adventure however, is nonexistent. I just don't see the point in writing the story. Legible.

2/5
