"Caitlin's just this girl who happened to have been randomly victimised by evil!Hooch the nipple-nommer, so for her also to be an exceptional witch strains suspension of disbelief."
Szaleniec, suspension of disbelief was thrown out the window along with our beloved canon characters at the start of this fanfic...
I love your commentary on this fic -- frankly it's the only thing that makes it bearable -- but every time I click the lj-cut I get a sense of squicky foreboding, as though any second now the Ed Meese commission or some other force for purity is going to come crashing through my door and accuse me of viewing child pornography on my computer.
"But Mr. Meese!" I'll cry. "There's no porn! Just an eleven-year-old and a fifteen-year-old who never wear clothing and are constantly giving the eyeful to their father figures, teachers, fellow students, and many other people who then spontaneously develop erections and nosebleeds! Also, much virginity is bartered about like so much produce at a market! Also--"
And that's as far as I'll get before they haul me off to the Dungeon For Bad People.
It might not be legally defined as child porn depending on the law where you live, but that doesn't mean it's not. It's got children in sexual situations and it's written as pornography. It's repulsive on so many levels whether or not there's an actual law against it.
Deserving is a tasteless clusterfuck, but it's an oddly endearing tasteless clusterfuck I don't feel like I need a shower after sporking. Apart from chapters 15, 40 and 48, and even those aren't as bad as the worst of Hogwarts Exposed. And the way it delivers lines like this icon with a perfectly straight face is good for a laugh or ten. In TVTropes terms, it's the difference between So Bad It's Good and So Bad It's Horrible.

Wow. I'm gonna give myself one second to come up with something more subtle than Neil's foreshadowing abilities.
TIME'S UP!
My answer: A sperm whale in an overhead luggage compartment.
