(no subject)
I have something major going on Monday and since I am going to be spending the next few days preparing for this event the next New Generation week is going to have wait until after Monday at least. I'm still planning on posting entries daily though, though things may not go as I plan. Just giving you guys a heads up in case I don't post some time this weekend.
TITLE: Cardcaptor Harry
PERPETRATOR: LunaStorm
SUE-O-METER:
(toxic)
FULL NAME:Harry Poter
SPECIES: wizard and cardcaptor
HAIR: canon, I hope. There is no description despite the fic telling the reader everything.
EYES: canon, again I hope.
MARKINGS: canon... at least I hope
POSSESSIONS: “ a pair of proper glasses that make the world seem brighter and friendlier.”
CONNECTION TO CANON: The first chapter tells us how amazing Harry's new life is and how happy he is. He gets locked out one day despite the fact they are trying to be more cautious simply because he is late, so some woman gets Harry's teacher Hideaki-sensei involved instead of calling the police and the Dursley family don't do it anymore. Chapter four is about Harry getting in trouble at an body of water and talking to a water creature for no real reason. Third chapter is him playing with “The Watery” which is a Card-creature. And I am having to stop here. The entire fic suffers from a lack of “show, don't tell”. It is very boring. So, I decided to look at the reviews. I couldn't get squat out of the reviews other then the fact the reviewers think this is good writing.
ORIGIN: Grunnings is bought by a company in Japan and the Dursley's are forced to not only move but give up being mean to Harry. Harry basically gets spoiled like he never has before.
SPECIAL ABILITIES:
NOTES: The chapters contain a letter and a word starting with that letter. Change, Amazement, Resolve, Discoveries, Captivation, Anguish, Proof, Trouble, Obstacle, Revelations, Hurdles, Achievements, Revolution, Reiteration, Yummies This is the author's note for the second chapter. “Please be warned that there's going to be some twisting of canon events from now on - remember this is an AU! - and some adjusting on the mechanics of magic and the likes to fit with the universe I'm building. So if you find a 'canon mistake', it might well be deliberate. Also, there will be no Kaho Mizuki in this story, because I just can't stand her. It's not even rational - she just rubs me wrong. So, in my AU, she never met Eriol during her time in Europe and was not drafted into his grand plan for Sakura (and it's her father at the Shrine who helps Sakura capture the Maze Card).”
SAMPLE:
Harry is six when Grunnings is bought by Minoru Murata's Japanese Drilling Company.
That wouldn't mean much to him, except that Vernon is offered the chance to move to Japan and take the control of a whole tool-making factory in Tomoeda-city. It is the opportunity of a lifetime, and, after discussing about it overnight, Petunia agrees wholeheartedly. It is distressing to be forced to move so far away and live among foreigners for a whole two years, but the promised increase in their income is more than enough incentive to bear the discomfort. And she can always lord over the neighbouring wives what a wonderful opportunity it will be for her darling Dudley - and at such a young age, too. Cosmopolitanism is all the rage nowadays, after all.
Harry for his part isn't particularly happy at first. He doesn't think the Dursleys will like him any better in some distant place than they do in Little Whinging.
And indeed, they don't, but as it turns out, Japan improves his life dramatically.
The apartment they're given, though furnished with every modern comfort, down to a state of the art videogame home console for their precious Dudley, is small and part of a crowded complex with typically thin walls. That means that the Dursleys are unable to hide the boy away or overwork him like they are used to.
Out of the necessity to keep up appearances, Harry gets an actual bed and almost no chores.
He can hardly believe his luck, but Vernon is increasingly angry around him and Petunia fears what the neighbours' reaction might be if her husband loses control around the useless boy, so in an effort to keep him out of their hair, she signs him up for as many activities as she can get away with at that horrid foreign school that is so incapable of recognizing her precious Dudley's talents. Let these Japanese ruin the boy instead, it's not like he wouldn't have turned out bad anyway.
So Harry spends most of his day at the local Elementary School, first in classes, then in clubs, full of wonder at how many interesting thing he is allowed, nay, even encouraged to do.
With Dudley moved to a more expensive, but much easier, private international school that offers classes in English, Harry is left to discover in peace the wonders of reading and writing and art and music and numbers and science - and his hesitant grin grows a little bigger every day.
