meh

If no one will write it, I'll take a break from my other stories and make this a 15-20,000 word oneshot.

Title: The Riddle of Existence

^My title if I take it up. Don't Trident!

 

I think of making it au after cos, any objections?

 

As long as nothing major in the canon storyline changes and the actual story doesn't start at CoS. You could take canon text and change parts of it to reflect the changes...whispers in his mind, sudden urges to do things (stab the horcrux with the fang), compulsions, etc. Everything in the canon plot must end the same.

The reason you shouldn't start the story at CoS and change too much is that it if you change it, the shock of Harry being Voldemort is significantly lessened. You follow canon, waiting for Harry to kill Voldemort...only to be him.

If you really want to, I guess you can. I've got alot of it planned out, so if you need ideas, I'll be glad to help..

 

This is an amazing idea, Amersion, I look forward to reading it

 

I Read This Idea On Portkey.org And Yes Name Of That Story Is Magic Never Dies But Its End Is Different In That Story Harry Had 3 Or 4 Soul Fragments When He Realised That All Souls Are Getting Attached And He Had Told Ron And Hermione To Kill Him After All The Souls Are United And Something Like That In The End Voldemort Became Muggle Of Some Kind I Read It A Long Time Ago But Your Idea Is Better Amerision

 

I'm flattered, honestly...but would you care to stop capitalizing the beginning of each word? That's not netspeak, lazyspeak, or proper english.

It must be hard typing like that.

Thanks though for the compliment. Check out the answer to this challenge in the Work by Author thread. It's written by Master Slytherin.

 

While looking at this, and I realy like what Master Slytherin is doing, wouldn't it be essayer to start at the end of HBP. That way the story would follow cannon and would be shorter for one thing. You mention that the events in cannon don't match the events as you need them but there is a connivent answer. If the sorting hat knew then it told Dumbledore and Dumbledore has simply obliviated all clues to Harry's true nature. When Harry and co destroy the first Horrocrux after Dumbledore dies Harry starts to remember and the leads him to the truth. Conflicts with his friends over this cause them to drift apart and eventually turn on each other. You get your evil Harry without the need to create an AU world from book three onward.

 

I wrote a one-shot on this. It's in the S&P section. It's supposed to be in the style of the office. Sadly, I couldn't get the quite level of absurdity that the Office commands.

 

@Naga's Shadow: I would start post-OotP, as the second Horcrux was destroyed during the summer, so it would be cool if the summer after OotP, Harry got that influx of knowledge.

What MS is doing is introducing the change from the very first Horcrux destroyed, in second year. While I was thinking something more along the lines of an instantaneous inflow of memories/knowledge, MS is going about it differently, by making it something like a bunch of flashbacks that hit Harry at random times, it seems. It seems to be working fine, though, and since he's starting from the first Horcrux, he's got more room to play with in terms of powers/abilities that Harry can gain.
