Anyone who thinks it's a good idea to join the community
wizard_trauma let me know now. I'd rather not see any mention of this on my f'list, I'll quietly defriend and let you get on with the traumatizing. This sorry excuse for a Munchaussen by Proxy support group is a mecca for the nuttiest of the fandom's nutcases--and that's saying something. They are

I especially like the ones that would make canon storylines impossible, because life/death struggles and passions are replaced by movie-of-the week suburban angst. Though it's always funny to see subjects like "depression" and "erectile dysfunction" right next to "lycanthropy"--because I'm going to guess the lycanthropy is the wizarding kind and not the mental disorder.
Of course I had to see who got signed up for the premature ejactulation fic. Sorry Draco, your troubles aren't over yet, it seems.

"Very Special Episode" indeed! What I want to know--or maybe not--is just how one comes up with the idea that subjects such as erectile dysfunction are things that really need to be explored in terms of their impact on the Potterverse.

"Breathtaking" was what they finally decided upon. "Oh, he's breathtaking!"

I can't think of anything I'd less like to do than explore this community and their challenge. I'm a little confused by it too. What is the point? Surely, no one could find these subjects amusing? Or vaguely interesting? Yeah, it's got "very special episode" written all over it.

If I wanted to read squicky business, I'd re-friend hpsquick100 because at least that was meant to wind people up.
Character A has a gender identity disorder and opts to undergo sexual reassignment treatment. How does this affect his/her life?Of course, there are already stories with this essential premise floating about on the internet, but they're usually an excuse to make Harry/Draco/whoever into a pretty, pretty girl with lovely long hair. I'm not sure if this is better or worse than the grisly details doubtless expected by this community. How very earnest of them, I'm sure ( ... )

What kind of lives do squibs lead? Are they delegated to the dreg jobs of the wizarding world or do they get ostracized to the muggle world. How do they deal with this? How do their families deal with this?
I mean to say, this one could make quite an interesting story. There's no need to insert anything unpleasant about underpants bits or illnesses and Filch-fans (or Figg-fans, in the case of the person who chose it) can use this as a prompt to get on with some fic. However, all the ideas to do with erectile dysfunction or terminal brain conditions seemed as though they'd make rather a dreary story. I like happiness in my fiction, to be honest :/

I was actually wondering how this one made the cut. It sounds so--well--normal.

Erm, I couldn't help but wonder if you had defriended me because of this comm. I joined it when it first started up, but I'm not a member anymore and don't think I'll be participating. I think the people starting the comm probably had good intentions, but then, you know what they say about the road to hell...(or badfic).
If you defriended me for another reason or what have you, no skin off my teeth, but I was curious.

Nothing personal, I promise. I've been traumatized by things on friend's f'lists too many times and this place is...well...you know.
