Is it even a Potterfic?

Keen to claim Thirty Hs, but unsure how to do it. by Laburnum on 2011-09-25 22:23:00 UTC Reply

In case you're wondering, this is Thirty Hs: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/ThirtyHs

I admit I want to take this mission for the wrong reasons. Specifically, I want to adopt the creepy critters in chapter 7. I feel sorry for them. Stealing the planet-exploding guitar and getting my agents into severe trouble for trying to play it is also a possibility.

Trouble is, I have no idea how to even begin taking down physical gods who can kick planets in half. Anyone think it would be at all possible to do this?

I already claimed Thirty Hs several months ago. :(

Aw :( Well, can you save the critters? by Laburnum on 2011-09-26 18:03:00 UTC Reply

Nurse Val will be willing to rehome them.

By your request, I shall rescue the not-PokÃ©mon. by doctorlit on 2011-09-26 22:09:00 UTC Reply

My real desire is to destroy Rape Bradbury, after all. X

Yay! ^_^ by Laburnum on 2011-09-27 10:20:00 UTC Reply

I just think there could be a lot of fun to be had with the not-Pokemon (not the thumb-in-water-glass, but the actual living ones). I think the weasel could be fitted with wheels ...

I can think of a few ways... by Astral Void on 2011-09-26 08:24:00 UTC Reply

A Canon Bomb could work, a portal to Nothing (from the Redemption of Althalus- it's a giant void that consumes everything), a dragonkin (from RuneScape- they can take anything), or maybe try playing the guitar at them.

For it to be bad Harry Potter fanfiction, it would have to have some connection to the Harry Potter canon. It doesn't.

I argue that Thirty Hs is so far removed as to not be based on Harry Potter canon, and thus not a fanfiction of it.
Isn't it more of a trollfic than anything? by Ugolino on 2011-09-25 22:28:00 UTC Reply

I'll admit that I'm a bit unfamiliar with PPC policy on crackfic/trollfic.

Yep, there have been several sporkings... by Fish Custard on 2011-09-25 22:39:00 UTC Reply

...of trollfics, including one by myself. And yeah, the general idea seems to be to track down the troll and kill/exorcise it, but as always the Rule of Funny takes precedence so if that won't work for your mission, it doesn't matter.
Yup, it is a trollfic. by Calista on 2011-09-25 22:36:00 UTC Reply

And we do handle trollfic and bad parody--usually by tracking down the troll itself ("troll" here being a creature within the badfic, rather than the author of the fic).

We've done a few trollfics. I know there was one in "Rugrats" that involved McDonald's or something.
They have been sporked before ... by Laburnum on 2011-09-25 22:35:00 UTC Reply

... though I believe if you know it's a trollfic it's a good idea to laugh more at it than with it, if you see what I mean.
