    Seriously? Sixteen year-olds?

    Argh, damn it. Anyway, writing that chapter as we speak.

    All it lacks is emo!Harry crying because he has to become a murderer.

    HP/GW is -1 from the start (although it can be redeemed by author)
    Story being abandoned is -2 (it takes all the pleasure from reading, imagine if The Denarian Renegade stopped in half)
    Spelling/grammar errors - another -1.
    According to this, I doubt this story can reach over 1/5, but I won't rate because I can't force myself to read a chapter of it.

    Your scale is slightly more forgiving than mine. HP/GW is an automatic -2, and at most can be redeemed to have no impact on the score (in other words, 0). Redeeming HP/GW takes quite a lot in my opinion.

    To everyone that attempted to attack me for my reading preferences and the way I decide a fic is readable or not: fuck off. You aren't worth more of a reply than this. The number of reviews in relation to the age of the fic isn't the only fucking thing I use to judge a fic. If I can or cannot read the first chapter (as was the case for this bunch flaming cock pus) is also taken into account. As is the summary, the pairings, and a host of other things.

    Okay. We're just saying it's stupid to take it into account at all.

    Especially knowing what most FFN readers like to read.

    Reading your post, it looks like you feel pretty strongly that this story might not meet Library criteria because of various reasons such as grammar in spite of the fact you like it as a guilty pleasure and that it was one of the first HP fanfics you really liked.

    It seems like this was something that should have been added to the "Almost Recommended" thread.
