    The sad thing is I actually enjoyed this fic, in a guilty pleasures type deal, with the laughing and whatnot from some of the silliness.

    The biggest problem seems to be the author's confusion on ages.

    You DO NOT leave two six year old children alone in the house with a note.

    You DO NOT let two six year old children bathe alone in a tub together, especially if its a 'double sized' tub. Children have drowned in less water!

    The author might have been able to get away with this if they'd adjusted the ages upward by three or four years...maybe.. but a good family doesn't allow six year olds to be alone like that, to cook unattended like this... Now adjust those ages up quite a bit and you might be able to get away with some things--but if you adjust the ages upward you don't get to do cutesy scenes or have them bathe together because then they'd be old enough to 'know better' but that said I found myself enjoying this fic as a guilty pleasure until I got to the most recent chapter when Hermoine managed to convince Harry to put on a bloody dress...

    I've never seen a more pathetic attempt at combining cliches.

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3190480/1/

    And this is supposed to be less cliched than his previous ones...

    MERLIN WITH A MOHAWK!!!!!! W000000T

    Nothing can top that for absurdidty Im sure.

    Excellent, and of the utmost neccessity I am sure.

    Of course, he is naturally not related to Merlin, or the Founders. He is related to Hildric the White Thaumaturge of the Clan Potter.

    How charming.

    And how could we forget that Harry is going dark, because the advanced tracking charms Ron placed on him are not working anymore. And that requires extremely Dark Magic. Of course, Dumbledore supports Ron, and Moody shouts at Ron.

    Such a charming piece of literary excretion.

    I just stumbled over this one ...

    Title: untitled (sic! – Err, or sick, whatever you want)

    Author: burning shadowcat

    Summary: harry ron and hermione are the only survivers of a magical holocast so they plan to use a dangerus ritual to travil to at least one maybe more alternate realitys

    Link: untitled hosted at fanfiction.net


    I'm a German. So I won't joke about holocast. And I know that it's hard to write texts in a non-native language. But it's not only the language that convinced me to place this ... thing ... here.


    The following excerpt is the part of the first chapter I actually read.

    The best is his/her/its disclaimer:
    I fear I might even continue to read this ... perhaps it is ridiculous enough for me to laugh my ass off ... well ... yes ... sometimes I'm the only one to understand my ... err ... humour ...


    Edit:
    Ok. I have to admit it is quite original. Never before I've read a fic where one stores the whole earth in one trunk.

    Edit 2:
    No I won't read it further. The next paragraphs contain the male veela, mpreg, vampire, elf, ... cliches.


    Addendum:
    I just tipped untitled into the small search box at the top of the ff.net search page.
    Stories by Title: 458 ... 458 ... four hundred and fifty eight

    Title: The House of Lords
    Author: maginot's ink
    Genre: Action/Adventure/Humor
    Summary: A political Story about an independent Harry rebelling against the order. T for Language Light HHr No Slash
    Link: The House of Lords hosted at fanfiction.net

    The connection the author (male) draws between the House of Lords and Wizarding Britain bear much potential for a political story. But it's badly written. He tries to write humour, but it's the blatant kind of humour, i.e. the usual Dumbledore-bashing letter in chapter two:

    I don't even smirk if anyone names DD and SS Dear Mother Fucker and Lemon loving loon – it happens quite too often. And the rest of that letter ... well ...

    The think that really made me laugh my ass off was the inheritance cliche. Somehow I doubt it was intended to be funny.

    Why didn't he just made him head of the house of Adam and Eva?

    Then I read his profile. He claims to write in the tradition of ...

    Please give quotes? I feel lazy today.

    EDIT: Okay, the best parts of it were a bad rip-off of canon. And the martial arts part... I don't know whether to laugh or cry over humanity.

    Okay.
    A 9 year old girl breaking a punching bag that even skilled martial artists would have trouble with? Bullshido!

    Look familiar? It should. It's basically bastardized canon.

    Ooh, Japanese influences. Where's the Card Captor Sakura nod?
    Hooray for pubes. Actually, I didn't see that line until after I copied and pasted. Really.
    Nyah ha ha. Recycled bad guy line: check.
    Yeah, Rosey. You're turning the guy from gay moustache man to pedophile. Stop it.

    How's that for quotes?

    Edit: Just wondering, what's the ship for this story?

    WHAT?

    Oh god, kids these days...

    Reminds me of a picture of some teen magazine in which there were some forms which were supposed to help the young girls to shave/cut their pubic hair in a specific shape ... *shakes head*

    Yeah, I never saw Remus as a pedophile either...

    As for the ship? I'd say it's either with Draco or Remus/Sirius. Or Snape, because it covers both the pedophile and the Slytherin part...

    Yeah. Lots of nudity, druidess, goddess type stuff I think in that one. Never really gave it much of a shot, but I always appreciate it when authors try to locate NEKKID pictures of all their story's characters. Helps me visualize them when I choose not to read the fic. Not even the naked pictures could make me want to read the fic. But I did check out all the pictures. Didn't think reviewing them would've been helpful.

    And in answer to Mordecai's mention this is the same author who's got a Harry Potter/Stargate crossover in the library here.

    I just checked out the pictures. They are ... interesting ...

    A lot more authors should follow the example and provide additional ... stuff ... for their readers.

    Even if the story is trash I'd say 4/5 overall :D

    Oh lordy that Cho/Dog smut was beautiful.

    Hmm, what does it say about my opinion of Cho that the idea she has large breasts is what I find hardest to believe about that chapter?

    The third chapter contains her disclaimer:

    All hints point to self-insertion and living out or rather writing out her most secret desires.

    Now what about the dog? Is it technically a GaryStue?
