This is pretty damn funny. It seems it was inspired by Nonjon and Eppy the House-elf, so props to them.

 

LMAO, I loved it.

 

Just read it... it really wasn't funny at all. The author didn't even try... and he didn't give any real explanation for half of what Harry did. Also the fact that Harry thought he was dreaming for months... that seemed like it should have been a bit more important to the story than he made it.

Overall... Yawn.

 

The idea itself was funny. But I think he could've put some more effort in it. So, if you don't have something better to do ... just read it.

 

Nice

Luck duck Harry getting all the girls. Well, he can dream can't he.

 

I like to think so.

Of course I also think I get quite a bit from Mr. Blot. Hell, it was discussions about "Make a Wish" on his yahoo group (and a conveniently timed movie on cable) that gave me the plot bunnies for "Where in the World is Harry Potter?" (which come to think of it, I should be proud of. It was Make a Wish that gave me bunnies for that one, and since then I've written two longer sequels to it completing that lil trilogy, and he's just now winding down Make A Wish. Go nonjon super-writing power!)

As for the idea he "writes too casual" I can see where you're coming from, but for a humorous fic I guess I don't expect much. Goodness knows enough people love his stuff that it doesn't bother them. Though I have that same sort of complaint for his more serious stuff like "Old Soldiers," but in humor genre all I can say is... meh, as long as it's funny.

And this was funny. Not his funniest, probably as good as an average chapter of Make a Wish in my opinion, but I've seen some unfunny "humor" fics from lesser authors. And I'd much rather an average one-shot from one of the funniest authors.

 

Well, I'm a big fan of Rorschach's Blot, especailly his Make a wish, and I enjoyed this XRay Specs. Trust Luna to get the real thing LOL.

 

R'blot is so hit or miss. This story had a fun premise, and I really wanted to like it, but it's clear that he wrote it in the space of five minutes.

All of the girls are OOC, we don't get to see what happens in Harry's new room, and the ending was one of the stupidest things in fan fiction.

2/5 - He didn't even try to make this one live up to its potential.

 

I enjoyed it from a more technical standpoint than anything. As said elsewhere, it was knocked together in about 20 or so minutes which detracts from the overall enjoyability.

Still. I think it deserves a 4/5 for originality if nothing else.
