    Title : Titles
    Author: Taure
    Rating: T
    Genre: Humor
    Pairing: N/A
    Status: Oneshot, Complete
    Summary: Pure crack. Harry gains a few unconventional titles.
    Link: FFN, WBA

    Taure's total crackfic that he posted recently in WBA. As he admits, it's kind of rough around the edges and it came out of nowhere really. It's quite short as well. All that said, there are some truly laugh out loud moments and I got quite a bit of enjoyment out of it. It brightened up my day for sure. Deserving of a place in the Library, I feel, as a fine example of pure crack.

    ALL HAIL PIMPLEWART RIDDLE of SMALL-DICK, PROBABLY A MUDBLOOD TOO.


    4/5

    Good for maybe a bit of fun if you're in the right mood, not Library worthy though. A few laughs, but there's far too much non-crack in there compared to crack for a supposed crack fic. It takes quite a bit to trawl through the set-up to get to the funny. The funny itself relies on the reader having been in the fandom long enough to remember certain fanfic tropes which aren't so popular these days.

    I'd say 3/5.

    I'd definitely say that the version posted in WBA by the author is the better version to read, as it has a very good comment in the replies.

    Wasn't that funny, imo. Decent writing, but not much else - 2/5.

    Yo. This is my first post. Hope it doesn't blow your mind too much.

    Having read "Titles", I would give it a 3/5. I find it's one of those fics that you find quite randomly and are good for a couple of laughs. Voldemort's title was a nice touch but the best part had to be the "Dick in a Box" reference. That was the proverbial cherry on what would have otherwise been a mediocre sundae.

    It was funny, but a bit fluff. 2/5

    Har De Har, moderately amusing. But only in that it's so completely impossible and ridiculous. The humor is juvenile and bland. The writing is technically sound, and even well varied. But that's all it's got going for it.


    3/5 for being firmly middle of the pack.
