Hogwarts Exposed Chapter 13 part 1

Jun 05, 2011 23:45

I'm not going to say anything stupid and fate-tempting like "how much worse can Hogwarts Exposed get?" I already have a vague idea how much deeper the rabbit hole goes, and indeed that it's not so much a rabbit hole as an eerie glowing pit.

( Hogwarts Exposed Chapter 13 (NSFW) )

This is another carryover from the Psychic Serpent Trilogy, which was full of little things the author seemingly threw in on a whim and didn't do much with.

This is very common in fanfic, especially from that era when there were a lot more blanks to fill in, people's imaginations went into overdrive and they'd throw in things that they liked but didn't really fit the Potterverse just for the hell of it. At its best it made for an interesting backdrop; at its worst it gave us the term "pepperjack cheese". Hermione playing the cello is quite plausible compared to a lot of such things.

Of course, in Hogwarts Exposed it's just an excuse to get Hermione on that disastrous date with Neville. I hate that scene, like I said at the time, more than anything else I've reviewed here so far.

Psychic Serpent, rather hilariously, brought a lot of Harmonians to the yard but gave away its eventual One Big Happy Weasley Family ending with a prophecy about halfway through the first book.

If that was intentional, the author's a truly epic troll. :D

I guess that's where your discussions with Neil came about?

""Herm" is marginally better than "Mione", but then so's "B'loody Mary"."

Ugh. I read this and thought "Jesus Christ, if there was any world that Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way" could just enter and fuck up using her Black Hole Sue powers, it would be the world of Hogwarts Exposed...

I'd read that crossover. I'd be tempted to write that crossover, but I don't think there's enough insanity in the universe.

It's just be hilarious to see Enoby vs. Jamie, Caitlin, and(later) Emily.

Battle of the Sues!

I wonder if not wearing anything at all counts as prep or goff.

"'She was frustrated she hadn’t gotten to see Professor Potter'

I hate this fic."

Complementary to what?
^ I was wondering when you were gonna snark on that

"Herm" is marginally better than "Mione", but then so's "B'loody Mary".
^ I think I prefer B'loody Mary.

I have to wonder what happens when a unicorn Animagus loses their virginity.
^ Sadly I don't think the fic ever goes into that.

YES! I love the MI video posted in the middle of the fic <3

"What if Harry Potter is actually a complete tosser?"
^ No, Caitlin, only Harry himself is allowed to call himself a tosser.

I want you to check out the first years when I enter the common room.
^ EURGH!
