5049: Digital - Harry Potter
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.
Title: Digital
Perpetrator: Light Lord Cybergate
Sue-O-Meter: Toxic
Cover/Banner Art: None
Summary: “What happens when Harry's animagus form is not 'normal' but digital. Join Harry in his digital life as he makes new friends, new enemies and tries to fulfill a prophesy far older than the wizarding world itself.”
Full Name: Harry Potter
Species: n/a
Hair: n/a
Eyes: n/a
Markings: n/a
Possessions: n/a
Connection to Canon: The first chapter is an info dump. Second chapter is about fourteen-year-old complaining about his horrible life. We’re supposed to believe he has a mental break down, so we can tack on special needs with this. He learns his has two forms with a special potion that reveals what it will be - a phoenix and a fox. It’s as if nothing major happens after that and he goes about his life as if everything is normal. At least, that is how the third chapter progresses. The forth chapter sees Vernon try to attack Harry with his club. (Why Vernon has a club, I do not know.) Harry pretty much freaks him out. A bit later he wakes up and is called Mr. Digimon. The writer give an info dump regarding why they - I’m assuming things like Harry, we’re created.
Origin: I think the summary is a good explanation. Except, I think the reason the writer decided to make Harry’s animagus into a cool hybrid as I don’t know of any that is a phoenix-fox hybrid. Actually, I think the writer thinks Renamon is a phoenix-fix hybrid when she’s not.
Special Abilities: He’s an animagus for starters. Making matters worse, he ends up doing it just because he thinks his life sucks more than any other teenagers life when it really doesn’t. He also breaks the rule regarding the fact animagus are normal animals, never mythical creatures. The writer compounded it by making it a Digimon.
Notes:
Sample:
It was several hours later before Harry woke up to the sound of several children beside him.
Not fully aware of what was happening, or that anybody was near by, Harry groaned as he woke up. Almost immediately, he realized that he now had a splitting headache and was aching all over.
"Ohhh that feels bad…did some one get the number of the bus that hit me?" he asked, somewhat groggily, almost pitifully even, more to himself than to anybody else. A comment which was answered almost instantly in the form of a girlish giggle.
Surprised by the giggle, Harry's eyes flipped open and he found himself staring up into the face of a young girl who couldn't have been more than nine years old, maybe ten.
Beside her stood two other girls her age. To Harry's surprise, they seemed to be all looking at him with extreme interest instead of fear. It was actually as if they knew directly what he was.
'But that couldn't be possible, could it?' Harry wondered, already thinking up a good cover story for his strange attire. The last thing he needed right now was to break the statute of secrecy. He'd be in Askaban for sure.
'Could they be muggleborn?' he wondered. After all, how else would they be so calm otherwise? But no, that can't be, they are much too young for Hogwarts. Maybe somebody in their family is magical, he thought. Harry's musings were suddenly broken as one of the girls started to speak:
"How ya doing Mr. Digimon?"
'Digimon? 'thought Harry, his eyes widening at the new word. 'What is a digimon?'
"Do you need any help?" asked another.
"Can I be your tamer?" asked the third? She sounded hopeful, almost too hopeful, begging even, which confused Harry even more?
"Er… what?" asked Harry incredulously. He didn't know what to think. His mind was racing, looking for possible excuses to explain his current predicament and to make it believable and he needed it now.
