Essentially, AU-Harry gets sent to younger AU-Harry, then craziness ensues. Pretty humorous, somewhat parody-like at times, story about a more "badass" Harry.

He could use a beta to work some grammar/spelling errors, but considering English isn't his first language (IIRC) it's decent writing. For anyone who reads Naruto fanfiction, he's the author who wrote Armageddon.

3.5/5

 

Is it just me or we have more and more people who just don't get what the fuck the point of For Review is?

Esus, you post something in here if you think it is worthy of being in the DLP library - which means a story that you yourself at least rate a 4/5.

For anything less than that there is the: Almost Recommended fanfiction thread. i.e. Anything almost a 4/5 but not a 4/5. i.e. A fic infinitely approaching 4/5 but not getting there.

I hate any rating that isn't a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. It's the only ratings you can vote and yet people think they can render 3.7s or 7/10s.

It's because they're too chickenshit to commit to one or the other. A three means this story isn't worthy of submission and a four means it is - but why actually commit when you can try and play both with a 3.5? Which if you actually voted, means you either have two accounts and voted a 4 and a 3 or have a single account and voted just once - a 4 (unless you're retarded and rounded down).

It's always that - chickenshit syndrome. It's not quite worth a 5... but I don't want to offend w/e is involved by giving it just a 4... so I'll give it a 4.5. The simplest systems are often-times the most effective - the things even the completely retarded can figure out.

So let's try this again. 1 and 2 means you think it sucks - 3 means you think it's middle of the road and 4 and 5 means you think it's worthy of the library. There are no 3.5s or 4.5s - pick one, asshole.

And this story sucks. 2/5.

 

What about a 0? I actually preferred reading about the Dark Lady Jane Granger that elongated Ron's penis and made him rape himself.

 

There's no 0 - I believe there's a mod for it but there is rarely a zero option in any rating system (see imdb, the numerous movie critics don't use 0/4 or 0/5).

 

I rate this thread 22/7

And I give the story a 2. Just because something is supposed to be a parody/satirical/ humorous, it's not a carte blanche to be a retard.

 

Personally I think it's at most worth a pi.

Might it help if the thread in question was moved/given a subforum in the For Review section?

 

Sweatdrops? Daggers?

The only funny thing are the triplets:awesome

1/5

 

Would maybe kinda sorta think about possibly rec'ing - almost.

But not quite.

π/5

 

People seem to derive some pleasure from making threads about stories they think aren't library-worthy (leaving out the ones they alone think are very good) even if the stories get thoroughly body slammed.
