Good chapter. For a while it felt like one of those reject compilation things (for I suppose that's what it is), but it's funny all the same.

 

Reject compilation things?

You mind extrapolating on that? I probably agree, I'm just not sure what you mean.

 

Stuff that you thought was decent, but for one reason or another didn't include. (i.e. maybe not appropiate at that point in the story, not REALLY hilarious, or felt it would have been forced, etc.)

 

Don't know. Maybe I'm wrong but the plot seemed all over the place - it's more like each gag on it's own than a part of the plot - kinda like in Cheequel, only smaller bits... It was still funny, though.

 

No worries. I just know because even though they stink often, that team makes bucketloads of money. They usually average better than 10,000 more in attendance per game than any other NFL city.

And I still had to look it up, because you made me think I was smoking crack thinking that. The NFL has a bit of East coast bias. 49ers, Seahawks, Chargers, Raiders are it on the west. Though Broncos and Cardinals are close. East, Midwest, South has tons more.

 

I'll count Arizona and Denver as "West Coast"

 

Ahh... yeah. The whole Ministry inquiry scene was one that I put in because it was the last opportunity to use it, and I figured it should be addressed. Might have fit in better earlier, but these last few chapters are kind of glossing over months at a time just to get us to the end. I asked my yahoogroup if anyone thought it should be cut or was pointless, but never got any response and just left it in. And Neville's insecurity about homosexuality just made a good segue from the last chapter. I'm never clear on timelines, and when there's a horizontal rule, it can be merely a change of scenery and the same time, or an unannounced jump of months. I can't really put in too many more jokes, because honestly, I'm running out of them.

The wedding was the plan to get the whole relationship discussion in. I'm wrapping up my trilogy and needed to address it one last time. Spending a couple thousand words at the start of Chapter 19 on it. And then it's going to be April Fools Day and the Pranking War is essentially reaching it's apex/climax. I was going to do the prank stuff first, but Ron's wedding was already stated as a spring one, and the prank stuff seems so much more appropriate on april fools day. And then I figured two chapters for some goodbyes (of sorts) and maybe a couple more things.

And that's one of the unfortunate things too is that by having so much plot I'm including this time, it makes it harder to try and inject humor into parts.

I had a scene I wanted where Lily recognizes an old muggle friend (who doesn't know about magic), but it's actually her friends daughter. The daughter would explain "No I'm Cindy. Diana's my mother." And Diana and Lily would catch up. Lily would try and introduce Harry, who would take one look at Cindy and blurt out, "Cinnamon?" Diana would berate her daughter on the sort of dancing she had been doing in college. And Cindy would look at Harry and blurt out, "Paco?! You said you were dying!" And then I just wanted Harry to look all shifty and reply, "¿Qué?" For some reason I really wanted Paco to only reply "¿Qué?" to all of Cinnamon's angry mutterings. Had some scenes for Christmas. Wanted a confrontation with Lily arguing with some bitch about "“My son could beat up your son!” The bitch to look at her thinking she looked too young to have a son that was capable and ask "How old are you?", "21 last april.", "21?", "Although by last april I mean 1981." And it may have been revealed that James called in his life debt from Snivelly by making him dance at their wedding. But none of these bits are probably making the fic. Oh well.

I'm looking forward to this being done. No more sequels. I wouldn't rule out a one-shot if a good idea hit me, but I've worked over this universe's muse like a porn star.

 

These are all fine jokes, especially Snape's life debt.

You should definitely do something with that before the end - dancing might be fun... Maybe something with Gryffindor... or to spend a night with Moony on a full moon, transfigured into a bat... Or to cut his hair & wash it ... whatever, something to close up the whole life debt thing.

Oh and as much as I love this universe, I agree that triology seems kinda complete. All the best fiction comes in triologies, so closing up this universe seems OK.

Heh, if you do that story with Harry jumping through Alternate Realities, you could do a chapter in "Where in the world" universe. Kinda like your Harry getting too super and receving a slap on the wrist to mind himself and stop breaking laws of the nature - a buff against all those super Harry stories.

 

I honestly feel stupid, regardless of sleep deprivation. Can't believe I mixed them up with the Seahawks. That's what I get I guess between sleep loss, and keeping up with the NFL.. like once every 10 years

 

This Trilogy has been great, but I agree with IP82. You've gotten all you can from it.

Time to move on.

On a more upbeat note, I'm REALLY pumped for this new fic about dimension jumping (or whatever you plan to write next)! :wink:

 

It is a bit sad to see such a genius universe go, but I'm sure nonjon can come up with one just as fantastic. *hopes*

 

Have no fear. There's still a good three more chapters left to completely alienate the fans of this universe. And I think I may actually surprise a couple people. Not everyone of course. But a couple.

 

I posted my most massive chapter yet late last night. Was a smidgen under 13,000 words I think. Finally tackled the double-time and gave the readers more of a fly on the wall view of what Harry's life entails.

As well as introduced the final lovely ship this story should have been from the beginning!

Just two more chapters to go.

 

Harry/Nicolas? Another 'interesting' pairing from your dirty little mind. It was hillarious, though - unexpected and a smart way to finish that whole dating thing started in the second part.

That snippet from Harry's double/tripple life was brilliant, too. On the other hand, it's standard practise to make "behind the scenes" episode when the show is near it's end. Heh, now you only need a guest appearance of some famous person and a spoof eppisode and you'll have your classical sitcom season.

That thing with Luna was interesting too - wierd yes, but I liked Albus' reaction all the same.

Anyway, great chapter and a real treat at the end of the triology. Great job.

PS Eh, you asked for double reviews, right?

 

Double-thick reviews. Like Luna, single-thickness just won't cut it sometimes.

And I never was considering heading towards love or any real pairing. Figured I should end it with clearly no pairing at all.

This was another one of those bits kinda like the mish-mash of the previous chapter had with the middle part that seemed slightly out-of-place, because it was a scene that could have been put in just about any chapter.

Well, the snippet and view from the double/triple life was one of those ideas I had for Where in the World (obviously after the 'revelation' as an epilogue sort of thing), but just kept putting it off. Never really got around to it in the Cheekquel, and now, once again, while it was quite fitting for the last prank war battle bit, it was also the last opportunity to do this. And I needed to also remind people why Luna is so much specialer. Living life and scenes twice would be boring without Luna spicing things up a bit.

If you want, you could say it was Lovegood, Boobs Gooder's Luna who ate the time turner and caused ripples through all the Luna's in my universes. Tis why she and time can get into these little arguments.

 

That was waaay past madness......

How do you even think up this stuff nonjon? Honestly.

On a side note, the new pairing is just adorable :twisted:

And yes. Normal!Luna would just give me the creeps.

 

BRILLIANT!!!


I read this during my lunch break (I missed lunch because of you, and I had ALREADY SKIPPED BREAKFAST!!! :x :x :x ) (I had 10 hours of class consecutively that day.


Anyway, update soon!


P.S. it was HILARIOUS, but I don't like seeing things from Harry's perspective. It lost some of its humor. Its like peeking behind the curtain and exposing Oz. He was SO much more fun and surprising before. Anyway, UPDATE!!! :wink:

 

Chapter Twenty's been edited and is ready.

Document's all spiffed up in fanfiction.net's Document Manager just sitting there. Sadly where you add the next chapter it says:

Oh well.

So yeah. A week. Fiddlesticks.

Though these last couple are mainly plot-filled and not so much humor-filled. So you're not missing much.

 

Heh, this could be an excellent excuse to attract more people to your yahoo group. Mwhahahaha.... *evil cacle*

Or in the other words, please post it on the yahoo group *sobs pitifuly*
