    FFS, do they not teach basic english in elementary schools nowadays? I couldn't read past the first chapter of this story, the grammar was too terrible.

    When I first learned to write, I was taught that all names should be capitalized.

    When I learned what quotation marks were, I was taught that they signify speech, and the sentence in the quotations MUST have puncuation marks at the end.

    And I think every person in 1st grade knows that "hear" and "here" cannot be used interchangeably.

    ::sigh::

    As much as I hated these grammar books we had for three years in Middle School, adding on to what we learned in Elementary, I bless them as I now manage to write correctly with proper grammar and punctuation, unlike the majority of the morons on FF.Net.

    After opening that link, I must turn down the right to comment on the story.

    Spacing his chapters

    The way he did hurts my damned eyes

    just looking at it, and I refuse to

    memorized any of that crap.


    Someone needs to teach the 8 year olds to lay off the crack pipes before they write stories.

    You know what the worst part is? The retard actually has reviews that say they LIKE the story. I particularly like these two reviews.

    One retard correcting another.

    Then you have other reviews commenting on how great it is to see this sort of fic, since there's little to no Harry azkaban fics out there...

    Damnit I've just wasted 5 minutes of my life on this reply. I hate you all.

    I am so very sorry Midknight about linking you to this story. :cry: Or at least I would be if I wasn't to busy trying to stop laughing out loud at your post while my family gives me strange looks. :wink: I like how in that fic (I read it because to me it was hilarious after I took a bloody Tylenol to pre-eminently stop the headache for reading double spaced stuff ( I can't seriously it hurts and my attention skips lines and stuff :cry: )) Harry goes to Ginny’s grave and cries after he dated her for a few months after he has been away in another dimension for 30 years and has been married for 10 of those years :? . Also when ones stuff is given to other people as reparations for a crime, and the person is found innocent you generally give back the stuff not have to go in and threaten the bloody minister to get his stuff back. Note: he also got an army for himself by threatening the minister *sighs*

    I'll have to devise a more devious murder for that author then the baseball bat... *thinks for 10 seconds**

    hmm, take a bungee cord, have him jump, and place a 10 foot spike underneath the land zone. Toss author off. Forget to tie the bungee cord to him. *Point and laugh*.

    It's a very poor Azkaban fic, 'nuff said.

    Honestly after reading the name of the author I didn't really want to read that story. Normally I don't care about screen names because they are just that. However that can only extend so much towards someones story with an author named 'Harry Potter Ninja' *shudder*

    err...somehow they capture Voldemort, then put him in Azkaban, in the same cell as Harry? Then after five days, they decide to work together? And they become really good friends? Then Harry, out of the blue, just AK's him after they're out. Wow...interesting...

    Also notice that the actual literary content is probably less than 35% of the entire chapter. The rest is song lyrics or authornotes, and even the actual story is written badly with absolulately no backstory, no discernable plot, and horrible grammar and spelling. Fanfic scale:

    X <---0---1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---10--->

    X = Score
    X = In the negatives

    Or you could mistakenly tie the bungee cord to his sack and watch him scream like a bitch when he reaches the bottom.

    I have just spent two hours reading a fic that was OK. The first time Draco was mentioned he was using crucio on Harry and trying to hit him to death with girly punches. Then the next time we see him he telling Harry how he only wanted to make his father proud so he would take him like a proper little inbred pureblood. I hate it when people make Draco good, needless to say the fic was promptly closed and i shall never lay eyes on it again.

    Does this thing qualify as story?

    FEAR LUCKING DORD! ... my eyes burn just from reading that small bit... i must forcefully purge it from my mind now by reading mindless slash smut or ferever be curese with this filth...

    Ill take a stab and say this is Harry/ginny as well isnt it?

    anndd ooooohhhh... ive got a marvelously original and spectacularly uncliche end to my new story!

    Lily and hames are actually hiding in america, having run off during halloween with [insert random witch/wizard pair] disguested as them... and just as harry is about to proclaim himself dark lord of britian they return with an assload of kids and harry is magically better and forgives them for abandoning him and loves his siblings to death, kills bellatrix the evil dark lady, and raises Aludra to be an open minded funloving girl with Daphne as her mother...

    whatcha think? ... mavelous, no? ...

    i know sometimes i scare myself with my genious ideas... theres no need for applause...

    You make me shiver, vash. Shiver in an unholy way... I wouldn't be surprised if it's H/G, but theres only one chapter.

    And don't even joke about screwing up Aludra like that. Or Daphne. *shivers again*

    I stand by my initial proclamation that the entire Harry/Ginny section at ff.net belongs in the topic.

    I dunno... Vertex posts there on occasion, his fix Broken Wands (on FF.net) was probably the best Harry/Fleur I have seen.

    It was the longest, at least. Problem is that there really aren't that many dedicated Harry/Fleur fics. Litany of Blood was by far the best until recently, but that ship has started to falter and a lot of other factors have made the story start to slip in terms of quality. My big beef with Broken Wands was the lack of physical attraction between Harry and Fleur. Sorry, you don't get naked and shit with a hot veela chick and not feel anything. Harry going all Voldemort on Snape in that one chapter was a huge plus, though.
