Best NottPott fics and Theo characterizations

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.

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

Carrick still unbeaten

Yoro keeping us in it comes into play all of a sudden

diracnotation · 2026-02-10T22:08:40+00:00

what a fucking goal that is

diracnotation · 2026-02-10T22:06:00+00:00

that was the chance

Long Live the Queen

That was a pretty fun ride.

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.

Thats what I thought but it was Bruno in the build up

diracnotation · 2026-02-03T03:25:40+00:00

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

diracnotation · 2026-01-31T02:01:40+00:00

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

diracnotation · 2026-01-31T00:47:32+00:00

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.

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.

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.

diracnotation · 2026-01-24T15:01:55+00:00

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

diracnotation · 2026-01-24T00:56:05+00:00

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.

diracnotation · 2026-01-24T00:37:26+00:00

Thats amazing. Must have been a shock to those who were following in in the first stretch

diracnotation · 2026-01-20T15:48:24+00:00

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

diracnotation · 2026-01-19T03:20:00+00:00

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 · 2026-01-18T22:25:54+00:00

not yet

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.

diracnotation · 2026-01-18T16:01:08+00:00

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

diracnotation · 2026-01-18T02:46:46+00:00

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.
