Deathly Hallows uberwank: Chapter 30, The Sacking of Severus Snape
I can explain the delay on this in a single word: "essay".
( It's the V to the A to the D-E-R! Reconstructing the Death Star! With my slick suede suit that's black like tar! Fucking you up no matter who you are! )

if there is one rule underpinning the Uberwank it is the rule of funny.
And it is funny! :D Especially this instalment, where I lol'd several times and frightened the cats, who are not actually patronuses but could be for all the use they are. Harry and his tiara started me off, and it went on from there, till we got to the picture of Teddy, which is a classic. As for the musical idea, it is brilliant and should be implemented right away. Now.
Of course it's Potter, who else do you know who actually emits the song "Eye of the Tiger"?
Had to quote this, just because it's totally brilliant, though unfortunately you've now got the damn song in my head. Remember Pop Idol? I LOVED that programme, and used to discuss it on Digital Spy.
So there's that thing, isn't there, where characters in fiction can only be as clever as the author who created them.
That's an interesting point, and I love your example. In fact, only you could actually get me to a point where I might consider some day actually reading The Da Vinci Code. Just so I can laugh and point at Dan Brown, even if he doesn't see me doing it. Or I hope not, anyway. 0_o
Thank you for the laugh and for being so consistently entertaining! I've spent the morning clearing my RL inbox, which was full of communications about work dating back three years, and I was just in the mood for the Uberwank! Well, I usually am. :)
Many ♥

I can highly recommend the Da Vinci Code et al for precisely that reason. The plots (of the two I've read, at least) are near enough identical, you can spot the red herrings, the villain, the love interest etc a mile off, and the main character is the biggest Marty Stu I have ever encountered whilst also being unbearably stupid. The puzzles and riddles are the sort of thing you'd give a bright eight-year-old to keep them occupied on a long journey. Definitely so-bad-it's-good territory.

Lurking somewhere on my USB I have a half-written post along those lines... maybe I should finish it.
You are way too nice, by the way - I never know what to say to your lovely comments. So, many ♥ back.
