I can explain the delay on this in a single word: "essay".

That Giant Hogweed is scarier than anything in any of the Harry Potter books, but it's sort of pretty... Thank you for the link! :)

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

Oh, man, I love the Giant Hogweed. I love how it is pretty much a triffid, only real. It's funny! ... and unsettling.

I might consider some day actually reading The Da Vinci Code. Just so I can laugh and point at Dan Brown

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.

As for the musical idea, it is brilliant and should be implemented right away

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.

Oh this has made my day so much better.
I just had a delightful row with my mother, so I was on my way post an entry angsting about it but for some reason I came here instead only to find that you had updated!
I've been reading the Uberwank for afew weeks now (can't remember how i found it) and thought it was high time i made my presence known.
Oh, and I was also wondering if I could friend you?

[fera_festiva]

Yes, of course you can friend me - I am always delighted to make new friends. :) Thank you so much for your lovely comments!

[indigoinsomniac]

Thanks a bunch!

[fera_festiva]

No prob. :)

[pinkalarmclock]

nevertheless the guy spends seven or eight chapters at a go not realising that something is a mirror image

That's ALWAYS pissed me off. Langdon is SUCH AN IDIOT! It's a brand, meaning you stamp it and you see a pretty picture. You don't see the pretty picture before, because its a mirror image.....
Didn't it take him a chapter or so to realise the 'strange number sequence' in the Da Vinci COde was Fibbonaci numbers?

Another good fanwank :)

Em xXx

[fera_festiva]

The thing is, I could overlook the mirror image thing - and the Fibbonaci thing and the pointless riddles - if Langdon was, say, a seven-year-old child. But we're supposed to believe he's a Harvard professor. FAIL. :D

And all that stuff in - I can't remember which one, but it's one of the Langdon ones - about the word pattern things that are the same if you turn them upside down. *Googles* Ambigrams! Anyway, it goes on and on about how they are incredibly complex and only a genius can design them blah blah blah. Again, FAIL.

Thanks for commenting. :)

Angels and Demons

When he was all ' No-one has ever been able to replicate them GASP'
I was very o.0
Its really not that hard....

I was VERY annoyed that despite all his 'Vatcian Libary is GOD' stuff, and using tongs to turn pages (???) he still had no problem with taking a Gallilo folio outside.

HYPOCRITE!

hehe

Em xXx

[fera_festiva]

Yeah totally. "Nobody has ever been able to replicate them... so here are, like, five of them!"

I can feel the anger, welling within you.

[evil_underlord]

Even the Emperor, whose whole schtick is about remaining in the shadows until the time is right for your strike, would consider force lightning-ing cruciating someone from under a rug a pretty low blow. When the time is right to strike, you do so openly and with glory. (In fact, he uses Anakin's willingness to attack the defenceless (and Luke's strong urge to do the same) as a way of keeping him subordinate.)

I call shenanigans!

You also feel Vader's dick in you, biatch.

[fera_festiva]

Yeah, it is a low blow. Gryffindors are supposed to be like these textbook heroes but their poster-boy attacks someone while invisible? Tosser.

Which brings up the question of what house Vader would be in. Gryffindor? Because he does it all out of love? Or some such crap?

[spacefragments]

oh god, i laughed stupidly hard at the teddy!photo. LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM.

everyone is drunk with either power or alcohol in this one. hahaha.

ps. i has something for you. ;D

[fera_festiva]

I just commented over at your journal but it bears repeating: FUCK YES. :D

Yes, the photo above is totally Teddy - but it's clear that he has more of Remus's genes than Tonks's genes. Because if he had more of her genes he would be SPARKLY!!!1!!11
