    Dude, just quit while you're ahead. Search through the Library and the Trash Bin and you'll find any number of fics using this criteria.

    You're a moron. Thanks for trolling, you ruined my Christmas Eve by spreading stupidity like an STD in Thailand.

    Let's see...forgotten magic. Hm. Fascinating. I guess Harry'll just have to get over the fact that its effing forgotten, now won't he?

    Dumbledore used an Imperius curse on Tom Riddle and made him a Dark Lord? Wow, what a fascinatingly original concept. I must say, your logical progression of thought makes me feel like I'm far more intelligent than you. Oh...sorry. That's just reality beckoning at me.

    Harry is raised by his parents...okay, so they're alive. What's Voldemort doing about the Prophecy then? Do we assume he killed Neville, or do we ignore the whole thing and instead sit in a corner and play with ourselves?

    Dumbledore and MgGonagall (Christ, you think reading the same name a hundred times in six books would make you remember the effing spelling) are Dark Lord and Lady. Okay...so this is a romance between them? Or is Dumbledore sharing power with her for no real reason? 'Cause that's pretty stupid.

    Now think through this carefully. McGonagall, being a Dark Lady...has nothing to do except teach Transfiguration at a school? Its not like she punishes shoddy homework by killing kids, so how do you justify something like this?

    I guess your reasoning for Dumbledore being Dark is the same as every other Indy!Harry writer. I'm not going to pick on that, I use it myself.

    Seriously...you might think about employing originality in the challenges you make. This is your third challenge, and you've been told repeatedly that DLP doesn't appreciate useless challenges where you ask the writer to emply ever damned cliche known in the HP Fandom.

    Again you have delighted me with your astounding displays of intellectualism and brilliance. If only I was half the creative genius you are.

    -_-

    I'm too tired to carry on like that so I'm gonna say this: 'if all your brain does is fart, stuff a plug in it!'

    Merry fucking Christmas.

    I thought that this was actually a fairly decent challenge...

    for my 8 year old son.

    Then it hit me...

    Hell, he comes up with better stuff, without even trying.

    I have a challenge for you. Five rules.

    1.) Spell every word (including names) correctly, using proper grammar and syntax for the English language, with a choice of American or UK. (This will help you look like a reasonably educated human being, and not a mentally retarded chimp jonesing for heroin.)

    2.) Aquaint yourself with Logic, Common Sense, Rational Thought, and the rest of their lovely family. You'll find that they are quite highly regarded in some circles, and association with them will greatly increase your social standing.

    3.) When attempting to use knowledge of a certain subject (fandoms, canon, popular trends, etc.), be certain that you do indeed possess said knowledge. Upon finding your knowledge lacking or insufficient to the current discussion or community, make an effort to familiarize yourself with the subject matter in question. Have you ever seen a country rube in a large, historically significant city and trying hard to fit in by expounding upon subjects with which he is singularly unfamiliar? This will reduce your chances of being that rube.

    4.) When attempting to gain acceptance in a generally closed or tight-knit community, it is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and prove it. Follwing the previous three rules will virtually guarantee acceptance.

    5.) If you find adherance to the previous rules impossible, unpalatable, or generally not for you, then you have two options. The first is to start taking your horoscope predictions from the Darwin Awards. The second is considered the Unforgivable Sin. For the record, in no way is suicide (Option 2) considered acceptable if your future Darwin Award promises to provide more entertainment than your three-line obituary.

    I checked his other posts. Among his six posts, he posted three or four similar 'troll' challenges, an introduction post and that's about it.

    I think he didn't really understand what a Challenge is and mistakes it for a "Looking for" forum. Such forum can be found in FictionAlley's park. It seems like he thinks that people will write a story for him the way he likes it.

    Or...

    Or he likes posting 'troll' posts where he doesn't even respond. In that case, if I had access to this web server I would ban his ip-range. But I'm not.

    Edit: Merry Christmas.
