There's something wrong with my brain, because I thought for a long time that there was only one OC. It seems I've read too many Sues with my-name-is-Annika-but-everyone-calls-me-Anastasia-that's-Ana-for-short. I also failed at reading comprehension when I read "her fairy godfather" as "hairy godfather" and I started to think that wait a minute, Dobby isn't hairy. Yep, it's way too early for me to try to understand such difficult concepts as Harry Potter version of Cinderella

That's why I noted that the name choices weren't good. I had to do a double take myself on the name. That could very well explain why I'm shaking my head at this one. It may not have even been another version of Cinderella, it could have actually been an actual plot to something else I've read.

I've honestly never read a story based off a fairy tale that didn't come across as trite. Many of the writers try to force the characters into rolls they don't belong in rather then trying to come up with a unique way to handle the adaption of the fairy tail to the fandom. It makes me want to eventually do a series where I adapt the fairy tails to a particular fandom. And then I remember how many other stories I have going. :P

I've read a some acceptable, but not great, fan fics that have fairy tale -ish vibe on them. What made those stories good was that they stayed true to the genre: somewhat simple language, non-realistic setting and clear archetypes. She's a would-be-princess, he's a prince, they marry and live happily ever after. A reader is supposed to just go with it; there's no need for round personalities or character development, it's a fairy tale after all. Those stories would be trite if I analysed them further, but because they are faithful to the genre, I read them as fairy tales. They aren't supposed to be realistic and the writer acknowledges it

Why would the Malfoy family adopt a kid when they have a House Elf at the time of adoption? They wouldn't.

Why would they have a human slave when an elf slave is much handier and have been magicked into ENJOYING slavery?
