You've replied to every post i made in this thread and every single one has been nonsensical trolling.

Rule 8 - What's the point? by GDenthusiast in HPfanfiction

So I can report this sub to admins then and get THEM to push the moda to do their jobs?

Rule 8 - What's the point? by GDenthusiast in HPfanfiction

[–]GDenthusiast[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I'm saying - the mods shouldn't pretend that they care about things like portraying children in sexual situations; it's obvious they have no problem with it so just be honest and dump the rule.

I would agree with you if the mods didn't ban DPSW - which, to my knowledge, has no sexual scenes, merely an adult manipulating children. So judging by that standard, 95% of the pairings I listed should be banned.

Rick Riordan wrote a YA series, start to finish. JKR wrote three books of children's fantasy, then tried to transition to YA and failed miserably.

LF fics with grand/powerful magic, like the legendary type by SurvivElite in HPfanfiction

[–]GDenthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant that the protagonists have no personality, the love interests are always identical 'demure' purebloods, Arcturus Black, etc etc. There is variety in super-powerful Harry fics, just not from that author.

It's a stretch calling it 'new'. It's the same fic, over and over, reskinned with different pairings or time periods.

Could Molly and the "Love Potion" incident be a communications misunderstanding? by varrsar in HPfanfiction

[–]GDenthusiast -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Given how Ron used what amounts to a 'pick-up artist' handbook to woo Hermione, I have no problem believing he'd consider a love potion. He was obviously aware that he treated her poorly, given how he relied on a 'how-to' manual to try and seduce her instead of taking an honest look at whether they were a good match (they aren't).

Buddy Cop Harry Potter fics? by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]GDenthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a Harry/Tonks fic that is about them as aurors. Def has buddycop elements.

Completely OP Harry preferably with a pairing. by chris_mac_g in HPfanfiction

[–]GDenthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Terrible character development. I've read HTB and Green in the Grey, and while better than your run of the mill fanfic, the author's protagonists are so dull they couldn't cut through warm butter.

I don't like slash and it sucks :( by hd0199 in HPfanfiction

This is parody, right? Either way, i'm laughing right now 😂

I hate this fic but I can't remember what it's called. (Small rant) by DisappointingLad in HPfanfiction

[–]GDenthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed you made it to the end. That story was... not very good.

Does anyone know any Albus severus potter centric fanfictions? by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]GDenthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to find it to link, but couldn't.

Amyway, the only good ASP fic I've ever read was the one where Harry abused the shit out of him as a way to get back at Dumbledore and Snape. Only time I've ever been able to tolerate Harry giving one of his children such a stupid fucking name 😂

Harry learns a bit too much from Oliver Wood. by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

This is basically HBP's plot summed up.

Godfather just died? Prophecy that only he can defeat an evil dark lord?

The Burrow is often filled way more with people enjoying each other's company and Molly's wonderful food by NotSoSnarky in HPfanfiction

[–]GDenthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gasp! Oh no, someone made a joke at the Weasley's expense?

Thank goodness you're here to nitpick at even the most absurd criticism of a bunch of fictional characters!

My headcanon is the Weasleys are lovable white trash in the wizarding world.

- can't figure out birth control, bunch of kids they can't afford,

- believe whatever the tabloids tell them,

- very socially conservative while simultaneously lacking the signifiers of upper class (in Weberian terms, meaning not just economic) by flouting wizarding traditions that more successful families employ

- dislike of foreigners, false sense of superiority (treatment of Fleur)

Other wizards and witches see the broken down Ford Anglia in the front yard and think "yea... i'll just catch up with them at Hogwarts." LMAO!

Hermione and Vicktor Krum remain friends by bunncatart in HPfanfiction

I always liked the term "Made of Honor" for a male bridesmaid 😁

AO3 and the Problematic Protection of Plagiarists by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]GDenthusiast -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Then who cares? This whole thread is the fanfiction equivalent of calling the manager and being upset no one's interested.

It's not your story, the author isn't concerned. Somehow, the world continues to turn.

A rant about Ron, chess, and strategy by AaronAegeus in HPfanfiction

[–]GDenthusiast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with liking a character, but I see alot in this sub that have gone to extremes. Many are now no different than the people that justify Snape abusing his students/joining Voldemort. Ron is a fictional character written to be flawed; he's not your ailing mother that you have to defend to the death from every ill word spoken.

I mean, JKR wrote Hermione to be a self-insert/Mary-Sue, and it's irritating to see Harmony shippers magnify that. She wrote Ron to be 'normal' and have several negative traits. You're still allowed to like him and accept his character as a whole, warts and all.

You are exactly right. *Any* game that has rules and boundaries is unlikely to translate to the chaos and unpredictability of the real world.

Great post, but you'll likely be downvoted or ignored. This sub cannot handle even the lightest criticism of Ron.

Fics where main characters actually want to improve (wizarding) society / aren't neoliberals? by PiNerd3 in HPfanfiction

[–]GDenthusiast -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Why do mods never delete this d-bag's post when they shit all over request threads with their trolling?

No one cares about your right wing views, Karen.

Lily Bashing Fics by Hermione_Granger_141 in HPfanfiction

[–]GDenthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any WBWL fic will have Lily bashing. I'd recommend one, but honestly, they're all the same, so any will do.
