    Just recieved these reviews for Potter's Resistance. Got me quite baffled. Do I seem like the kind of guy interested in tounching something like this with a 12 ft pool?

    now you want to try a story that has never been done as far as i know try this one out.harry is kidnapped on his first birthday by his godmother to keep him safe,she changes harry into harrett and leaves her with friends in america but his/her godmother loses her life before the war ends.an as to how the war ended dumbledore finally gets off his old ass and does something right for ounce by laying a trap for tom and his deatheaters so tom and all his deatheaters are now dead all of them except snape i mean we have to have someone to hate afterall.an no tom does not come back from the dead this story is only about how harrett white deals with finding out she is really a he named harry potter when she gets her godmothers diary on her 17th birthday and then finds out his parents and godfather are still alive.

    almost forgot as far as harry/harrett since she/he gets his/her godmothers diary at age 17 you can have him/her attend his/her last year at hogwarts but of course we do not have to worry about malfoy and his flunkies because since all thier parents were deatheater and are now dead the ministry took all of thier familys money to pay to rebuild after the war so malfoy and all the rest of his worthless scum friends are now dirt poor and have to live on handouts from other people and yes malfoy sr. did have money stuck away but since he did not trust anyone even his loving wife it is useless.so all these purebloodes can not aford to pay for the rise of a new darklord for a century or two.which means you can make james lily and sirius teachers at hogwarts,and nevilles parents are just fine.

    Dunno, but IMO, it's ideas like this that are ruining HP fandom; both readers who are asking them and writers who are writing them.

    NOTE: Not sure if I should have posted this in Fanfic Discussion or somewhere else... or post at all. But I figured, what the hell, might give someone a chuckle or two...

    That's pretty disgusting. Seriously, what the hell?

    You are right that ideas like this are ruining the fandom, but there isnt much we can do about it. The internet gives them the freedom to express their thoughts... no matter how stupid they are.

    Did you even ask for an idea? I mean, what gave them the idea that you wanted anything but a normal but helpful review? Their brains work strange wonders, those fangirls/boys.

    There is no conflict in that idea. Sure he finds out he is a he and his family is avile but where is the magic the great enemy (Pfft to Snape) she just wrote the "Perfect" life. Everyones alive and well and happy. As soon as Harry gets over the news he will fall in love and everything will be perfect. You also notice that this could easily be slash since he/she thought he was a woman he will like guys... and try to help Malfoy out.

    I can't say anything about this idea because I can't understand a single thing that the guy is saying.

    Yeah, I had trouble reading it too. Took me awhile to figure out what was going on.

    In that thing you call a closet. Better watch out,
    Harry becomes a girl so he won't be hurt. Godmothers idea. Tom and everyone is dead because Dumble got off his ass, Snape is there though, and it's about Harriet finding out that it's Harry Potter and her life.

    Yeah, everything interesting happens while Harry lives in US, believing he's a girl (with rather large clit, I presume...). Then when all the fun is over, Harriette realizes she's actually Harry and travels to Europe to meet his family... and fall in love with Draco, probably.

    Now, I'm generally not a fan of it, but this kind of thing makes me want to /wrists.

    I mean, what the fuck? Note that 'harrett' is not even a typo. What kind of name is that?
    ...
    Ok, the name of a guy magically changed into a girl at the age of one I guess ... -.-

    Someone seems to be sexually confused, and it goes by bill560682

    Yeah, I think bill560682 needs to share his ideas with his sexual identity therapist more and with IP82 less.

    Wait a second... bill560682 and IP82

    IP, did you black out, lose time, and the man who thinks he's a woman trapped in your body read and review your own other personality's fic?

    I say you leave "bill" a note for when he comes back.

    Now, correct me if Im wrong, but there is a major physiological difference between males and females, and in America, I am sure, you learn about them well before you turn 17. In which case it would be rather difficult for Harret to continue believing that he was she and not a he.

    Anyway, it involves Harry living and growing up in America, which makes it a nono to anyone but the best authors.

    What is it with so many authors naming a female!Harry "Harriet"? I know that it's probably because it's so close to "Harry", but what about a name that sounds similar, but isn't THAT name, like Hikari, Haley, etc.

    As horribly tasteless this idea for a story is I don't see why the person even bothers to ask someone else to write it... I mean that plot sounds like stuff you see all the time in summaries if you dare to browse ff.net unfiltered.

    Oh my goodness.... The idea of Harry/Harriet?? It just makes me think of the other potentially gender-switched names that just add on a syllable or two.... Ronaldina, Hermionman, Ginnboy, Dracolina, Nevilliet, Dumbledora, Minervold.... the possibilities are endless!
