Ummm, I'm not about to go read this myself, so I'll just ask: Do we know why it's called 'Harry Potter and the Oracle of Gryffindor'?

*bangs head on desk* must...stop...reading! Stories like this are like train wrecks, can't stop reading no matter how bad it is. Maybe i'm just a masochist. Ok...

1. SPELLCHECK! SPELLCHECK! SPELLCHECK! How hard is it to press a little button?

2. The author's notes, or should I say commentary, was just too fucking annoying. Really, we can form our own opinions. We're not stupid little twits who don't know when to laugh.(well, i'm not. the people who enjoy it are)

3. Oh yeah, I can really see the Dursley's letting Harry share the room with a girl. She should have put Harry back in the cupboard under the stairs and given the girl his room. Would have been more believable, but are Mary Sue's ever believable?

4. Harry had to be staring at the most beautiful girl in the world. *gag* I'm really getting tired of hearing this phrase. Please invent a new one, please....

5. Votes? Ugh, that's just pathethic.

I'm done, I can't take this anymore.

Thank God!!! ex_spellbind785 May 31 2003, 21:11:11 UTC

Holy hell!! Thank god for your LJ, I like to read Harry Potter fanfic but for some reason most of it seems to be Mary Sue bullshit. If you don't mind too much could I email you some of the worse fics that I find? I would love to see what you make of them.

Re: Thank God!!! pottersues May 31 2003, 21:22:53 UTC

Thanks for the offer, but I've already got a backlog. There are more sues out there than anybody can do justice to. Nice to have fans, though. ^_^

deleterius is open for posting LotR and Harry Potter Sues.

I will parrot the other replies with SPELLCHECK. Learn it, use it, love it.

And the author's note, the drooling over what Harry was dressed in? ::bangs head on desk::

As for the voting thing, that's nothing new to me. I've read - well, SKIMMED - several Buffy/LOTR crossovers where the authors wanted the readers to vote on which Buffy and LOTR characters were horribly and inexplicably paired. I mean ... Willow/Aragorn? Worse yet ... Willow/Frodo? ::shudder:: Though his size does have it's advantages.

Someone please answer me this one. Why do the reviews for these pain-inducing fics always say "brilliant writing", "awesome story" "way cool". Is my browser not putting up the true story?

These people cannot be reading the same crap I am. What's going on?
