3436: Magyk Lives - Harry and company

[pottersues]

Don't forget about Tropes Sue Week either. I'm looking for help finding entries for said week. While I am still not back to doing link of the days I came across this entry on my “Don't Like, Don't Read” list for my “Don't Like, Don't Read” days. The story isn't features as it's short, and not actually a Mary Sue

I suspect the writer is female, and as such she's self inserting herself as Harry. I'm reminded of a Bleach fanfic I read where the writer turned two male canon characters into self inserts for themselves, but was in full denial. The reason I ended up reading and reviewing that one was because I was specifically looking for stories for the two characters and there honestly aren't many fics for them. After calling the writer out for making the characters OoC another person posted a review pretty much saying putting two male characters into a slash pairing justifies them being OoC

I always love how easy it is to discover embezzlement in these fics. It suggests that the Goblins knew the entire time, and just didn't care enough to do anything about it. On that note, all the money taken from that first vault adds up to a total of just 0.02%. If he has such ungodly amounts of money, why bother stealing it? Just ask him for it!
And of course the Goblins can reveal his true heritage. Because, y'know, banks handle DNA tests all the time.

As horribly OOC as the Dursleys cheating on each other is, I keep getting distracted by how contrived it is that both affairs resulted in children at the same and both lovers conveniently drop out of the picture.
And don't get me started on the names. Or the speshul spelling of magic.

The girls are there so Harry can have twins, and the boy is there so that Harry - who is standing in for the writer - can have their ideal lover.

I really wonder if the writer understands how bizarre what they've written actually is, but then I wonder this about all of the writer's who write creaturefic stories and find the need to warn people of creaturefic. I've read one good creaturefic in the past for the Draco/Hermione pairing and the writer did so without getting as bizarre as some of the stories I read.

I wonder how much stems from the age of the writer and readers. I suspect many are in their teens going through their chuunibyou stage where they think they actually know how the world works. I suspect this is why many don't ever get finished - the writers and readers do grow out of their chuunibyou stage and realize the world is a lot more complicated then they realize as are the way people interact with other people.

Chuunibyou describes "adults are wrong" and a few "other" things as well, so I plan on using it as a tag.
