Yes, you will go to the ball. More's the pity.

Ding dong, the bitch is dead.

(Except not, because in such a fanfic, good and true wuv always win.)

At first when I read "red knickers" I assumed she had her period and was "phew". But I digress.

Damsel Hermione, at your service. I can't wait to read the next few chapters where she sits on her hot ass and waits for the strapping handsome man to save her.

Also, Ron would not stand for this. Even with his own Sue, he'd kick Harry in the teeth before declaring Hermione his true love from early childhood. God, why do all these Suethors hate Ron??!

I think it's official: Szaleniec has been committed due to the insanity this fic has brought about. It's the only explanation for why he hasn't updated in three days!

[szaleniec1000]

I thought I'd take a bit of a breather before tackling the fail that is Chapter 17. Actually working on it right now, as it happens - hoping to post at least the first part this evening.

[sickbritkid2]

Excellent. Did you read my fanfic for your breather or something?

P. S. Have you watched How to Train Your Dragon? They're running it on HBO right now...

[szaleniec1000]

It looks good so far. Any particular things you'd like me to examine, or just a general overview? :)

For all HBO shows are popular here, the channel itself hasn't made its way over yet. I'm sure it'll be on sometime somewhere though. Thanks again for the recommendation!

[sickbritkid2]

Wait...how do I get my user pic to switch between a set, like yours?

[szaleniec1000]

There should be a drop-down menu with "picture to use" on the window when you click reply.

[sickbritkid2]

Ah, so it seems...

“I think it’s lucky that Alex and I are both Beaters. We’ll probably have to spend the entire evening defending you three beautiful women.
^ Or, you know, beating off.

Yes, I'm sure we all remember how Harry first travelled to Hogwarts in the chapter entitled "The Journey from Platform Eight and Three Quarters".
^ Yes, aided by the bossy Milly Weasley and her three daughters.

I say trying, because I tend to assume that magical contraception is failsafe because there's no reason why it shouldn't be.
^ Doesn't contraception not exist in the Neilverse?

I don't think anyone says "roll in the hay" unironically or "go bowling" at all.
^ I lived with a girlfriend with whom I went bowling. There was nothing inherently sexy about it.

[szaleniec1000]

I'd not got up to the part where Neil tells us that magical contraception is indeed failsafe and freely available when I reviewed this chapter. Why, then, are all three pregnancies that feature in the plot up to and including the middle of Too Exposed unplanned? (Answer: because he doesn't think through the implications of what he writes.)

ETA: and I've seriously never heard "go bowling" as a sexual euphemism. Not least because, while bowling in the literal sense is still quite a popular activity over here (even Dumbledore likes it!) it's not as prominent in popular culture as it seems to be in the US.

[scarsofloki]

Ah, I see. The pregnancy twist really doesn't make very much sense, because Neil is an idiot.

...um... well, I'm not much into pop culture, but bowling doesn't seem to be that much in it either, if that makes sense. I don't know. I've heard "walk in the park", but that was done deliberately.

[szaleniec1000]

There's a bit in Teachers (classic UK comedy drama about, well, guess) where they manage to turn "going to Tesco" into a sexual euphemism. I just so happen to be rewatching it and thought of this thread as soon as that came up.
