There are a lot of these fics out there. Ones with harry becoming exceedingly proficient at martial arts, with a sword, or with some weird chi-based DBZ rip-off.

Most of these stories i can deal with. It makes for interesting plot points, and realistically no-one expects you to kill them with a sword if you can just wave a stick, and mumble some latin. What i can't stand is the fact that almost all of them are cookie-cutter, there are possibly two, mabye 3 out there that manage to keep the story decent, while having harry behead people.

 

Hate it. Harry has magic, so he has no need to use a sword. Hell, even gun user!Harry is better than this because at least bullets are hard to stop and most wizards don't even know what a gun is, whereas with a sword all the enemy has to do is wave his wand and that's it: your sword is pwnt.

 

This is a fanfiction cliche which has been covered in one of the many HP cliche threads. If you want to bring it back up, do so here: http://forums.darklordpotter.net/showthread.php?t=2511&highlight=cliche

This goes for any other cliche in fanfiction you want to talk about. I know it's been out of action for some time (before you joined at least) so this is excusable. Just don't do it again.
