D:

So.... I've been thinking on this plot bunny for a while, and am now looking for other input. Its barely formed but I've got some nice ideas for what I do have thought out.

Basically, I was thinking of an insane/evil/serial killer!Potter story. For whatever reason, after Hogwarts he goes nutso. Or maybe even while he still at Hogwarts. Connect point A to tab U and you get reason for murder G.

Harry sets up trap-like situations for <Insert Name> in much the same way found in the popular (and shitty) horror movie Saw. But without the lame "O NOES I DYIN UV TEH KANSARZ! U DUN RESPECTZ LIEF SO I KILLZ U NAO!" plot.

Harry only does it for the lulz.

Not much beyond that. Save for Neville's death. Raped to death by Devil's Snare. Great, huh?

So now, all you have to do is tell me that I am the epitome of awesome and win and we'll get along fine. ^_^

Srsly thu. Wut u dink?

 

If you are following Saw, then Daphne should be his apprentice.

It sounds like possibly the best plot bunny ever conceived

 

I think of lulz to follow. Much of it. What better place to discuss the sadistic, horrible deaths of fictional characters than DLP. Every death has got to be related to something with the character.

Harry should be written poifectly for this though, but I can imagine the lulz that would ensure. Kinda like, when you first read it you think 'Ew', then you imagines it and you burst out laughing.

 

This could be lulzy as hell but you'd need to get some really fucked up ways to die in there and post it on FF.net like Potter tradition of Red. The fangirl reactions would be hilarious.

 

I never bothered with the Saw movies, but the concept seems interesting enough. Are you planning more of a series of semi-connected oneshots, each with a violent and painful death, or is there some unifying theme to it (other than death and lulz)?

Devil's Snare rape is... my vocabulary fails me. I keep getting some fucked up visual of a cross between tentacle rape and Little Shop of Horrors. The lol factor is spectacular for it.

 

I think I read a hentai manga like that once. Only without the 'to death' part.

 

Potentially quite amusing. But like I said, some decision does need to be made:

1) Harry kills people with ironic deaths (Ron eating Molly to death)
2) Harry kills people with appropriate deaths (Ron eaten by many spiders)

As long as Ron dies, I'll still read it.

 

Hmm...you may need to come up with an appropriate and realistic motivation/reason for Harry doing such a thing, preferably a non-cliche "my friends betrayed me" one.

However, if the fic is to be for the lulz, then coming up with some sort of justification or cause for Harry to become a murderous shit may detract from it rather than add to it - focus on the killings rather than the emotions behind them.

It all depends on what you're aiming for.

I think that that is important: aiming towards something. Yes, nutjob Harry killing people in rare and ironic ways will be an enjoyable read, but if you want to make it a great read then there will need to be some sort of overriding plot, somewhere that the story is headed. It doesn't have to be anything epic, but I do feel that a story with no end point in sight is a story that is both literally and figuratively going nowhere.

 

It's interesting how 'little' nuances of a plot bunny can completely change it.

The kid who posted that wanted someone else to trap Harry's friends, because he 'saved them before' or some crap. To test their loyalty to him. Concept sucked.

Yours, however, is fucking epic. Please continue, good sir.

 

Sounds amazing! Can't wait to read it!

Will you make him have a specific ritual for killing?

 

Harry's a killer, but how does he get away with it?

He could arrange the deaths to look like tragic accidents.

"But Inspectuh, how did the Devil Snare pheremones ever get on Neville's asshole and mouth."

"Well, Constable, it was Neville's terrible case of the trots and his filthy, unwashed hands that lead to this unfortunate tragedy. It all began when..."

Or he could set up someone else to take the fall.

"Well, Constable, it's evident that the house elf Dobby was jealous of Longbottom's friendly relationship with the Potter boy. Dobby aranged to be on Longbottom's laundry detail, and when his small-clothes came in to be washed, Dobby sent them all back out with the potent Devil Snare pheremones rubbed in."

Or keep them guessing.

"Well, Constable, got any ideas?"

Or give them a big Fuck You.

"And that's when Harry ran up, mooned us all, and yelled out 'I killed 'em all! You can't catch me, I'm the fucking Harry Potter!'"

 

I vote for Hermione being burned on a pyre of books . Or perhaps strangled by her hair... It'd be really out of control then. Or raped to death by house elves. Equal rights = Equal raping.

Ron has to be killed by his food. I like dramatic irony, it makes for lulzy reads . Or hey, maybe him and Hermione are 'experimenting' with food in the bedroom and that comes alive and eats them. It would be... amusing.

Why the hell do I have it out for Hermione today? Hmm, oh well. Oh, and it's a brilliant idea. Yadda yadda yadda. Good enough? Also

 

Epitome of awesome you are.

I don't know what the motivation could be for a seemingly normal boy to go batshit... but Harry did live in a closet with spiders for ten-years. Real-life serial killers have less motivation than that.

 

You could just use the generic 'Dementor drive him to teh crazies' excuse. Like he follows Rons (I think it was Rons) suggestion of sneaking into Hogsmeade with the invisibility cloak in the third year. Passes out because of it and can't be found because he's fucking invisible, and is driven insane by 7 days of Dementor contact.

That would make him hate the stupid rednut, meaning a particularly gruesome death for him.

Also, there must be rape. Lots and lots of rape.

 

*stands up and claps* It's an idea I can get behind. Saw was lulzy as fuck, IMO. I got some pretty amusing looks from laughing through most of the movies in theater. The fact that he'll pretty much being go for random kills just for kicks makes it even funnier.

As for a decent plot device, how about Harry finding the Mirror of Erised and slowing going insane with whatever those girly emo feelings people are supposed to have when confronted with dead family.

 

Alright, with many thanks to Taure, Ive got a semi-believable reason for a normal boy to go batshit.

Not sure if yall want that spoiled or not, so yeah... Its part of the plot, but not something hugely so.

Spoiler

Since Voldemort was technically a Horcrux for Harry, when he killed him, it destroyed part of his soul, taking part of his morality and humanity and sanity and other ities with it.

Anyway..

Also; Suggestions on traps? D: Crabbe up first I think...

 

With a name like Crabbe, it HAS to be a Veneral Disease. I can't quite believe that he could catch a sexually transmitted disease, since no one would have sex with him, but ... maybe he can catch something from a sheep?

 

Since it's post-Voldemort I'm going to assume you're talking about the adult Crabbe, since the younger one killed himself with his own fiendfyre.

That said... How about setting up a fake meeting with other free Death Eaters in order to break out the ones who were locked up in Azkaban, to continue the Dark Lord's work or something. When Crabbe turns up at the specified place Harry captures him and does... whatever you want to do.

Aekiel

 

How about being chased around by a rabid gorilla or maybe using one of those traps that involve more than one person and include Goyle in the fun?

 

This isn't about Goyle, but I wouldn't mind seeing someone locked in the chair that's in old Courtroom Ten. Specifically, the defendant's chair with the 'living' chains that lock a person into it.

Then have the victim terrified about their inescapable, bizarre and painful death by whatever means you fancy: mechanical, magical, creature, or directly by a person for example.
