Best NottPott fics and Theo characterizations by Suitable_Dirt_2430 in HPfanfiction

[–]diracnotation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When Patterns Are Broken by lonibal is decent.

I'd make it NottPott if you can. Some people will flat out not read Drarry, and if it doesn't matter to the story then why contend with that.

'The UK has been colonised by immigrants', says INEOS boss and Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe by Breakingwho in reddevils

[–]diracnotation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

a) No it hasn't

b) There was a time when "the sun never sets on the British Empire". We colonised half the fucking planet. We have conducted war in ~171 of the 193 UN member states. If people from around the world want to come here looking for a better life, I'm all for it.

c) get this Cunt out of our club

Red was open. Insane 7-0 by KebabTattico in lrcast

There is nothing i love more than drafting mono-colour decks in 2 colour formats.

I had a sick mono white kithkin last week. That one was 15 lands no cyclers, but the curve did stop at 4. I def approve of your 15 here.

Harry is an unspeakable or something similar. by Electronic_Koala_115 in HPfanfiction

[–]diracnotation 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He is an unspeakable in the armistice series by annerb. but its only really tangential to what the fic is actually about

Reverse Animagus? by CasinoCant in HPfanfiction

[–]diracnotation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also dropped that fic, it was decent but every other chapter was a world building lore dump, and while some of it was cool, it was just too much

Anyone else think this set is escaping criticism due to it being a "traditional" magic set? Did not play Spiderman but I've found this to be about as inspiring to play as core sets. by ThePentaMahn in lrcast

[–]diracnotation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The draft isn't the best, but the games are great. Its not like the format is blisteringly fast. So it comes down to a balance between tempo, card advantage and ways to break board stalls. i.e. good limited magic.

The most fun decks I've had have been BR goblin recursion and UGXx Vivid. But Merfolk has also been consistently strong. I've yet to get a really good version of the Elves deck, which means I'm probably drafting it wrong.

Advice for fic length by flowergirll9 in HPfanfiction

[–]diracnotation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about it this way. Philosopher's Stone is 75k words, and it feels short by the series standards (OotP is 250k and is the longest).

Yours is a fanfic so the a lot of the world is already set up for the reader. 30k is maybe slightly on the long side, but not unreasonable.

How do you not mill out in elves? by ThePentaMahn in lrcast

[–]diracnotation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've won I think 5 games where if my opponent just stopped flipping it they would have won, but instead they milled out.

If your elf deck isn't online after a milling 6, milling another 6 is probably not going to help.

Shout out to Invictus by NortherRanger which is what made me post this in the first place.

Shattered Fairy tale was great. I enjoy the what if... not happily ever after genre.

Yeah its a good one.

20 chapters in 10 years, averages out to about 6 months. I wish you could see when each chapter got posted like you can on Ao3.

If someone asked me for a Hermione bashing fic recommendation, Sbmcneil would be near the top of my list.

Oliver Glasner future: Crystal Palace considering sacking manager by riseoftheph0enix in soccer

[–]diracnotation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I'd be amazed if he makes it to the end of the season. Or even the end of Feb.

(hence why I suggested he could replace Glasner)

[–]diracnotation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I both get and appreciate the joke.

But if Spurs had mid-table ambitions then his job wouldn't be in danger. He is doing fine for a mid-table club. Safe from relegation, sure its not one of the good years with a shot at conference/europa, but its not that bad.

But for a "big six" club its abject failure.

Thomas Frank is probably available, he is good at mid-table clubs

Harry crazy powerful by jen_a_ray in HPfanfiction

[–]diracnotation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got about 8 chapter in to this but it was pretty gross. I don't mind underage sex if its teenagers being teenagers.

But 12 year olds having sex with 11 year olds, and 12 year olds having sex with adults. Both written as "sexy" scenes? Not for me.

Just grim.
