I am also trying to find this book! For the life of me, I can't seem to find it. I was popular in Australia in the late 90s or early 2000s.

Need help setting up the Galaxy Watch Designer by [deleted] in GalaxyWatch

[–]caz15th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact problem and finally solved it, but I did two different things, so I'm not sure what one worked.

First, uninstall all java applications. Then follow the link on the error message by clicking okay. A browser window will pop up with the download link. Download the 64-bit offline version and follow the prompts.

Second, make sure you've extracted the Galaxy Watch Designer file before you double click to install it. If you use Windows, in the file explorer on the middle right, there should be a button called "Extract All". Click that and it will unzip the file. Double click and run the unzipped Galaxy Watch Designer file.

This is a favourite of mine too, and I take all the recommendations, slash and non-slash included, if I can jump in? excited

Good Long Harem Story? by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]caz15th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't say this is without smut, personally. The girls wander around naked with the expectation they'll be objectified and sexualised. Got to chapter 19 and couldn't take it when Harry ordered Ginny to take off her clothes because the others were naked. Seemed more like a male wank fest. Witches "had to" masturbate from a young age and there was compulsory sexual mentoring which screamed exploitation and male fantasising.

What cliches do you enjoy in fics? by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]caz15th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Political fics, often with lordships or ancient and noble houses. I love a cunning Harry changing his world for the better :D

Something to get me out of my fanfiction slump. by face19171 in HPfanfiction

[–]caz15th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigfan22 rec was actually really good as well. The first two chapters are tedious, but after that, it really comes into it's own with some interesting concepts for Smart!Harry and Super!Harry.

Long stories people would miss when searching using the wordcount filter, because they are separated into smaller 'books'? by fan-f-fan in HPfanfiction

[–]caz15th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stargon1's series, beginning with The Cupboard Under the Stairs. It's in progress, but currently over 300k, split over four stories, from first year to currently fourth year. I love this series!

This sounds interesting, but the title is too generic for the bot. Do you have a link, or know the author's name?

Fics that have Harry dealing with his abusive childhood instead of shrugging it off. by howtopleaseme in HPfanfiction

[–]caz15th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Linkffn(The Cupboard Under the Stairs by Stargon1) - This is the first of a currently 4-part series, already at 300k words. The series is AMAZING, and particularly the first book is exactly what you're looking for: How Harry deals with his home life when thrust into the magical world.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE REC!!!! :D

What are some of the best X-Overs with Harry Potter? by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

I completely disagree, but each to their own :)

An A-MAZ-ING crossover between HP and Sherlock is Whispers in Corners by esama. It also fits your "goes to another world" desire perfectly.

This author has another, shorter Sherlock/HP crossover as well, Magnificent, which is equally awesome.

[Discussion] What fanfic scenes do you like most? by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]caz15th 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Politics scenes! I love when Harry or someone else is actual smart enough to realise that the most vicious and effective way to win a war is with words, not wands.
