    There will be several hunts, several Sword-esque time of needs, several Albus goes "look what I pulled out of my office.

    I see Albus almost in a Watcher role, guiding and helping, and getting killed partway through leading to Harry taking up the mantle of Leader of the Good Blahdy Blahs.

    Also, not all of the nine items will be gathered a year at a time most likely, I may place a Holy place that holds all nine, each simply becoming available as you said, when Harry shows a certain virtue of "Herohood"

    I’m just wondering what the etiquette is if I want to try my hand at one of the ideas in the thread. Do I PM the person who came up with it and ask for their permission or credit them if I post something or what?

    Now up to ten fusions(HP/Halo/Zoids/Transformers/Enders Game/Hokuto no Ken/Matrix/Metroid/Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy/Gundam) in the aforementioned plot bunny at post 735 :awesome

    No idea what I'm doing with this or if it's even going to turn out to be more than filler for the Club, but the more I play with it, the more serious(ly crack) I seem to be taking it.

    Zenzao is heroic.

    That aside.

    He is a wand-slinging Master of Death weary of Wizarding Politics. She is an Immortal True Ancestor whose goal in life is to make the world a red moon. They fight crime.

    Crime perpetrated by the twenty seven motherfucking Dead Apostle Ancestors

    Harry Potter/Tsukihime cross. Not because I know how to cross them, but because I ship Harry/Arcueid so hard......

    Harry Potter was always competitive as a child, possibly stemming from an inferiority complex he got growing up with the Dursleys. So when he goes to Hogwarts and gets started on quidditch it becomes his life. So much so that it's closer to an obsession than a hobby. He neglects his other studies and solely focuses on honing his broommanship.

    I have no idea where I'd go after this except that he'd incorporate brooms heavily into fighting (as in flying on them, not actually using them as weapons). Snape would probably be justified calling this Harry an arrogant twat if I ever wrote it. Instead of Ron, who has some pretty serious inferiority complexes himself that would clash with harry's personality, Harry would befriend Dean Thomas the muggleborn fan of Association Football.

    I had this idea when thinking about vampires, Voldemort, and how a broom stick could count as a stake. It's not a vampire!voldemort story that was just what I was thinking about when the idea hit me. Anyway, my vision was for Harry to be facing Voldemort in a final battle getting his ass kicked because he neglected his studies so much and then using Accio on his broom from the other side of voldemort, impaling him from behind.

    Never, ever go full retard.

    In canon, Harry's talented enough a flyer he doesn't need to obsess over getting better. If you want to stage spectacular fight scenes using brooms, just have Harry do whatever you want in the air. You don't need to have Harry hone his skills day in and day out to justify these abilities.

    Hogwarts would probably expel a student that fucking lazy, and no way in fuck would his teachers let him fuck around for all seven years of his Hogwarts education.

    My idea was basically going to be a crack one shot just showing snippets of his most important moments solving his challenges with almost solely his flying skills. Basically.

    ... That sounds like crap, even for a Crack!fic. Though now I am craving a quidditch player!Harry.... Maybe I'll write one with similarities to the natural...

    It does sound like crap. Damn, that sucks. Sometimes I don't filter the shit that goes through my brain before sharing it. Still, I think that the basic idea of a Harry who relies more on flying than conventional magic is sound, I just have no idea how I'd accomplish it.

    Easy, have him work out the secret to unaided flight before Voldemort (or shortly afterwards). Stunning aerial battles become the norm and everyone has fun blasting people out the sky.

    An idea I had for a Supernatural crossover. Basically, the whole Master of Death thing results in Lucifer accidentally summoning Harry in "Abandon All Hope" instead of Death. I wrote a little bit, but I've never written before. So let me know what you guys think of the idea. And feel free to be brutal on my writing.

    I had the following idea a couple of years ago when I read OotP. In chapter 37 DD and Harry are discussing the prophecy, and Harry says “He [Voldemort] should have waited to see whether Neville or I looked more dangerous when we were older and tried to kill whoever it was then”, so I thought what would have happened If Voldemort knew the whole thing? Here’s the idea:

    Snape, heard the full prophecy and by extent Lord Voldemort. The Dark Lord, pondering between action/inaction decides to “mark” his equal after he comes of age, and prepares himself for that encounter. The Potters and the Longbottoms go into hiding, but nothing happens. The children grown and it’s time for Hogwarts. Neville and Harry are good students, Harry being a touch more powerful and skilled, but nowhere near LV or DD league. I imagined a good friendship within them, maybe best mates, knowing that the prophecy will one day be halfway complete and they should help each other.
    The world is not a post apocalyptic place, but the people live in fear. The faction that LV leads is a terrorist group and considering a final victory over the chosen one, the attacks are sporadic, like ETA in Spain.

    Finally out of Hogwarts, Harry starts to help in the Order of the Phoenix, I haven’t envisioned what kind of remunerating job could the pair do but it’s not necessary.
    In battle Voldemort strikes Harry with a killing curse that rebounds, marking the teen like the prophecy described. Here there could be two possibilities: 1) the rebounding curse kills LV, he survives thanks to the Horcruxes, and leaves a part of his soul in Harry. 2) The rebounding curse flies away and LV, before desaparating, watches that Harry survived; knowing that he is the prophesized boy a new stage in the war begins, with LV going all in.
    I have several problems with possibility #1: the time between the destruction of LV’s body and the resurrection (if there is one); the Horcrux factor means that a quest like canon must be followed; what kind of power gains Harry (power he knows not); what happens to the DE, they are hunted or not, who looks for the wraith of LV to resurrect him, etc.
    Possibility #2 ignores the Horcrux plot, meaning that there is no diary and by extension no CoS with GW; gives Harry a believable power, and builds up to a final confrontation where LV dies. Here Harry utilizes the prophesied power to win; otherwise he can’t, LV is more powerful.

    I don’t plan paring Harry with anyone, he must have a cool personality in a Big D or nonjon’s way; Neville is more problematic, but I don’t see a pussy character. The plot can start post Hogwarts, making a summary of the school years, or start with the first year at the castle, whatever makes the story good enough.

    I’m not good enough to write it, but the idea has been in my mind and an accomplished author can create something better.

    So I was reading this one story a day ago called Deprived. Decent, but nothing great, or even good. It got me thinking about how much I'd enjoy seeing a mercenary Harry story done. So I took a little bit of inspiration from that and crossed it with the idea I had after watching The Island a couple weeks back.

    For those who haven't seen it, the basic gist of The Island is...
    Clones are commonplace now. They're created as a sort of insurance policy for organ transplants and infertility. That way if the original person ever needs something health wise, there's no waiting on a transplant list.

    The clones are brainwashed into thinking that outside of their building, the earth is unlivable except for one single Island. There's a lottery where people go to the Island, but it's rigged so that the clones who get cut up leave for the 'Island' and aren't seen again.

    Anyways, two clones escape and realize what is going on. A mercenary hunts them down.

    So I had the idea that what if a Private Military Contractor teamed up with wizards. They began to clone the greatest minds in wizarding history and use them as military forces. They're all brainwashed and compliant, until two escape.

    I wrote up a little piece of it today.

    Unfortunately, I don't have time to write it right now. So if anybody wants to take a crack at it, be my guest. Just make sure to drop me a pm, because I may try to write a long oneshot for it in the next couple weeks or so if nobody takes it up.

    What do you guys think of a Fight Club kind of Fic but instead of Fight Club its an unauthorized illegal Dueling Club that the senior students participate in. Basically I remembered how Malfoy challenged Harry to a duel, I was thinking that Harry is soundly beaten because you know Malfoy has more experience with Magic and I have never believed that Lucius would let his son go to Hogwarts without being able to know how to defend himself( the whole disgrace to the Family if he were to be bullied and that kind of shit). So anyway Malfoy beats Harry gets invited into the club, he accepts and kind of forgets about Harry.

    Harry on the other hand is pissed off at been beaten by Malfoy and that he is apparently no longer taunting him, he becomes obsessed with Malfoy(but only for awhile) follows him and inadvertently discovers the Duel(fight)club.

    I would also try and show that there is now house bias in the older students due to the club stemmed from both a sense of being in a kind of secret society and some form of mutual respect.

    What do you guys think?
