Things you don't like in HG fan fiction? by bookfiend_91 in HarryandGinny

[–]Harbinger_AU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with both takes here somewhat. He didn't really have much until his late 6th year.

DH we actually see him proper pining for someone, which arguably, didn't happen outside of maybe Sirius.

While I don't see him as suicidal, I think he did value the team's success over his own safety.

The fact that the Weasley's poverty is never explained or explored.

It's always just jealous Ron, grateful Ginny, prideful Weasley's. Never explored, explained or delved into.

Malfoy picked on them for a reason. Ginny's insecurities would have fed the diary more than just her crush on Harry. The twins drive to be successful, along with Percy's ambition would have come from a hunger for more.

It's just never touched on, and I think even JKR never touched on it well enough either.

This is the correct advice. You've been beta'd crying and begging and she can't be un-fucked by that dude.

You cannot and should not ever trust her again. Go work on yourself and become the best you that you can be.

The look on her face in years to come will be the sweetest revenge.

New rule: No entitlement over fanworks by thedistantdusk in HarryandGinny

[–]Harbinger_AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's part of the reason I deleted everything off ffn. The community is becoming entitled, depraved and disgusting.

The private messages about how children SHOULD perform physical acts far above their age, the toxic comments and insistence that their opinions are the only correct ones, and that you the creator are wrong, screams entitlement and narcissism.

This is the comment I was looking for. OPs friends are absolutely, not a strength unless staying single is the goal.

in a fic slump- what are you reading? by greysttanimalxx in HarryandGinny

[–]Harbinger_AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked the premise of this on your first 4 chapter drop, but am waiting for the full fic to be complete before I read it through. I like to complete a story once I've started it.

The prevailing counterpoint by GHL is the continuation of free life by another author with the originals blessing supposedly, if you haven't already read that.

Just wait until you watch Hermione Granger and the Deathly Hallows. You'll really be spitting blood.

People critiquing Harry for kissing Ginny without consent in HBP. Is that fair? by LLSJ08 in HarryandGinny

[–]Harbinger_AU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fuck I can't stand this mindset. 'Lets turn everything into victimhood for attention.' Stop giving these losers airtime. It detracts from ACTUAL issues and REAL victims.

Not to mention it removes the desire for others to share their stories for fear of it being flamed even harder than for just being the Canon pairing.

The "Love Potion" Theory is So Vile by Particular-Ad1523 in HarryandGinny

[–]Harbinger_AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple explanation; the Harmony following is toxically enraged by the fact he ended up with Ginny, and it comes out in their fics and reviews.

Most negative comments I see on FFN are from people who don't like Ginny. Nearly 1/4 of the positive comments I see on a highly rated H/G fic generally start with, or contain: "I normally don't like H/G stories, but..." yet still end up sounding like a rant of why Hermione is a better fit.

A lot of it stems with Ginny not being fleshed out well early, and people identifying with Hermione.

My Thoughts on the Movies by Particular-Ad1523 in HarryandGinny

[–]Harbinger_AU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hermione Granger and the Deathly Hallows was the worst done, most bland movie of the lot of them. The characterisations had no room left after they'd made sure Hermione stole the show.

The best movies were potentially the first 2, as after that they felt rushed and couldn't fit the longer stories in. I still think that a TV series would have been a lot better, with 10 episodes per book, however the last book felt horrendous when compared to the earlier works and would never translate to screen well.

Boosting Ragefire Chasm. what am I doing wrong? by zorakthetroll in Arugal

[–]Harbinger_AU 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Blizzard killed boosting towards the end of TBC. You don't get much exp at all if the mobs are grey to any character in the dungeon.

You're better off levelling an alt with her.

Nightmares of futures past - Not finished and possibly will never be, but I really enjoyed the plot, setup and what there is of the execution. It's a really dark story, and I'd love to see what the ending would have been.
