5045: Harry Potter and the technophile - Harry Potter, Dudley Dursley
Don’t forget about the first bi-annual Pottersues Contest which is replacing the old annual Pottersues Contest. The theme for said contest is Gamer Fic. Since Gamer Fic is a rather new concept in fanfic, I’ve added links to three entries which feature a Gamer Fic. I’m also working on a list of common traits we find in Sue stories which make them Sue stories called More Than Thirteen Reasons Why.
I found this particular story while looking through the other stories of one of the Suethor’s I featured the HP/GoT entry of, but I’m featuring said story because the summary majorly jumped out at me.
Title: Harry Potter and the technophile
Perpetrator: australianfanfic
Sue-O-Meter: Awful
Cover/Banner Art: None
Summary: “This is a story about a Harry that's a technophile/genius from a very young age. Watch as he takes on the Wizarding World with advanced technology and makes a few friends along the way. This is only a tester chapter for starters. Please give it a review and tell me what you think of the concept. In this story Harry's family is alive and well. This is only a test chapter.”
Full Name: Harry Potter, Dudley Dursley
Species: HINO
Hair: n/a
Eyes: n/a
Markings: n/a
Possessions: He has three doctoral degrees, “one in Computer Science and the rest in Science/Biology.”
Connection to Canon: Harry is adopted by the Dudley family, but they’re amazing parents to both him and Dudley because they’re both “narural geniuses. We both had very high IQ’s due in part to our Eidetic memories and drive to learn.” The only chapter up is him getting his letter to Hogwarts, but him thinking it was some joke.
Origin: See sample. Actually, the writer has them move to America to get away from Albus Dumbledore, but move back so the kids can earn more degrees at Oxford
Special Abilities: At age eight they have doctoral degrees. Apparently the writer doesn’t know that the youngest anyone has ever been is thirteen.
Notes:
Sample:
Hi, my name is Harry Potter as I'm sure you already know. I live in the small town called Little Valley, Oxford. I was placed here when I was younger due to my parents disappearing. The Police couldn't trace them. The only thing they found out is that I am the son of Lilly and James Potter but that doesn't matter. They aren't my parents anymore, Petunia and Vernon Dursley are my parents. They raised me from a young age, fed and clothed the orphan placed in their care. They treated me like their own son. I was best friends with my cousin and his gang and everything. My adoptive parents decided that moving overseas, away from Albus Dumbledore was the best option, so we moved to New Zealand. Too far away for any in the Wizarding world to track.
We all loved life there. From a young age both Dudley and I were natural geniuses. We both had very high IQ's due in part to our Eidetic memories and drive to learn. Due to this I flowered under their care whilst making sure that Dudley was up to par, we were in high school by the age of 5. We both had doctoral degrees by the age of 8. The only option for us then was completing more degrees and for that I had to move back to the UK. More specifically Oxford. Two more doctoral degrees later (One in Computer Science and the rest in Science/Biology) was when I turned 11 that everything changed. I learned that magic exists.
