    Title: Once Upon a Freakin' Time
    Author: Evadne
    Rating: K+
    Genre: Humor
    Pairings: None
    Status: WIP (since 2002)
    Summary: The Death Eaters attempt to do bad things, but mostly just do things badly.
    Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/899503/1/

    Each chapter here is a short, funny story featuring stupid Voldemort and Death Eaters... Some are bad, some are funny as hell, some are just plain silly. Fun read for the most part.

    Definitely very good for a light read.

    I mean, if I gave up on trying to put plots into my stories, this is the sort of story I'd probably write. And as conceited as I am, that's high praise. There's enough in there, some is bound to make you laugh out loud. Though I've never even gotten through it all. I find a few chapters at a time more enjoyable, rather than reading all 32 at once. Even if it is an average of less 650 words per chapter.

    But very funny for the most part.

    Huh... maybe it was funny back in 2005.

    Not completely terrible, but I've read much more funny humor stories. For all its attempts at spontaneity and silliness, it tried to hard.

    3/5

    Agree with vlad completely. There's real potential for cracktastic humor here--'Death Eaters Go to the Beach,' 'Death Eaters form a band,' etc.--but on the whole it's too silly to be good. Not much effort was put into it.

    3/5

    2.5/5 The humor was lacking and not very well done.

    Hmm.. Dunno, I found it quite amusing. It makes for en enjoyably light read.

    I agree with the more critic voices in this thread. Silly: yes. Funny: Not really.
