Captain Mog posted:I think I just don't "get" Fanfiction myself, especially the ones which take the characters are create a whole new story. Why not just, I don't know, write your own? Do you really need to have Harry Potter in your space opera about aliens? Just change the name or something. I'm with you. I mean, I've watched films, read books, etc, and have idly wondered what else might have happened to them outside of said story. But even as someone who writes, I've never considered writing it out. Maybe it's because I'm not arrogant enough to believe that I could accurately capture the characters' voices. Besides, I find writing my own characters, my own stories, far more satisfying.

So does this thing stick with the plots of each book, or does it go about on its own thing?

Moddington posted:Yud is cramming his whole story into just the first year, so a few events from The Philosopher's Stone show up, but nothing beyond that. Because I was wondering how he deals with creatures that can't exist, like Centaurs, Hippogriffs, House Elves, Giant Spiders, and Dementors. Then see him try to Port Keys, and Voldemorts resurrection. And Horcruxes.

I wish every argument Harry had would end with someone slapping him and saying, "It's loving magic, dipshit."

petrol blue posted:Again, having not been exposed to LW, the second paragraph seems pretty decent to me: "I did a big thing that a ton of nerds love, lets see if we can raise some charity cash with it" is a statement I find hard to mock. I think it's more of a case of him trying to have a comeback once the idea is dismissed. "JK hates charities, and is a horrible person, because she wouldn't agree to let me publish my rip-off of her work." If he's serious, just do the loving 50 Shades thing, and change the names and publish it that way.

Seriously though, the whole "publish for charity" thing comes off as him wanting validation for this monstrosity, that way he can throw it back in any naysayers who call it the poorly written, poorly characterized, piece of crap that it is.

Doctor Spaceman posted:At least here you can see bits where he's poking fun at the original books. Harry and co do win a lot of points for the House Cup because of their Voldemort-related activities, and Hogwarts does give out a time travel device to kids on a very flimsy justification. Actually, having just listened to the PoA audiobook (Stephen Fry, baby!) Hermione reveals that Prof McGonagall had to write all sorts of letters to the ministry to convince them to allow Hermione to have one for her school work. She wasn't just given one. Sperg over
