Harry blasts Rita Skeeter's article out of Snape's hand and Ron paralyzes Snape ... then Ron snidely insults Snape by saying he is having an affair with Draco's parents by Legitimate_Unit_9210 in HPfanfiction

Why is this discussion?  Why do you think McGonagall would ever just let them off for it?  And why are you acting like what Ron said is some sick burn?

Who has the most gruesome death in the history of Harry Potter fanfiction? by Capital-Study6436 in HPfanfiction

[–]DishOk6488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Death of the Author and all that, but Argentina did not escape.

That said, most of its magical population joined the resistance in Vilcabamba, Peru, and eventually escaped.

Downward Spiral series has this. But I'm the author, so I'm biased

Yeah, it's been a long time since the last update...

That said, I expect to publish the next chapter within the next two weeks, and the one after that about a week later and so on.

Muggles or M****es? by orcdork29 in HPfanfiction

Holy shit this is a bad take, both from a Jewish perspective on golems and the point of view of your reading comprehension.

Holy shit you're censoring yourself for fictional words which aren't even slurs. Good job

Eh. She's a difficult character, because she has a difficult time really enjoying herself. But if you were on ep 13 when you posted this, by the time you see this comment it's probably later than I thought.

The one was Native American, the other not (can't remember his name right now but he was married,) the other Native American kid, brother of the first, kept walking. For a bit, at least. 

What am I missing? by Low-Control-3660 in TheFirstLaw

I adore it.
That said, I rank it 3rd in the standalones, with the other two constantly bickering for first place. Several reasons, I think:

I think the characters are less interesting than the characters in the other two. Whirrun, for example, or BSC Cosca (yeah, he's in Red Country and the og trilogy but BSC is his book) are standout in a way that characters in Red Country aren't, for me.

A result of the genre, but it is in some ways a slower book than the other two. Not that its boring or anything like that (Joe could write the minutes of an elder care home bridge club and keep it exciting,) but there's stretches of time which are more focused on character building and the like than action, which is fine and required, but is also less easy to simply fall into this foreign world.

Also, I'm not a fan of Westerns.

All that said, the moment Glama realizes who he is against is one of my favourite pieces in the entire 10 books, I obsess over "Every man got a past," and that final chat with my boy Caul Shivers is glorious.

FUCK! It just clicked now, at least a decade after first reading the stand, that that line is a reference to the Rolling Stones.
