So I was looking for an Animorphs crossover to throw at Nume and Ilraen, because it really has to happen eventually. To the surprise of no one, there are six listed for Animorphs and Harry Potter.

And they all look bad. Don't let the good grammar and spelling in the summaries put you off-guard, but do see for yourself.

Granted, mostly they're only mediocre. The third one, however, "harry or jake," is particularly on crack. I'm just not sure it would make the best mission, seeing as the Animorphs barely show up (though Tobias seems to be acting as Har--as Jake--as that person's owl }= P ).

Thoughts? Enraged diatribes? Basically, which one would you most like to see as a mission, and why?

~Neshomeh, who also notes that three of the six have "shifting" in the title, and raises an eyebrow at it.

I kinda skimmed through this fic, and yes, it was abdominable. More than that, there was a genuine Wall Banger in Chapter 14: It was the Ministry of Magic who sold out the cast to the Muggle Zoo in exchange for the extermination of Voldemort and most of his followers. Not just that, but they sold out Harry and the others just because they were under suspicion. So Yeah, pardon my Trope-Speak.

This story made me quite PISSED. It casts zoo employees as somewhere between mad scientist and exploiting profiteer. Believe me, NO ONE works at a zoo for the MONEY, not even the top managers; the majority of a zoo's yearly admission income goes to the animals' FOOD. Zoos do not EVER run experiments like the ones Arthur Weasley was put through in this fic, and they would need permission to do so, just like a college science lab does. Finally, a zoo can only actively breed members of a species if reproduction is considered necessary for that species' survival by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums; the director can't just decide that he needs more babies of THIS kind or THAT for the spring rush next year.

That's all besides the main problem of putting humans in a zoo, of course. I was so hoping Remus would just massacre all those zookeeper-like people. What happened to wandless magic, anyway? I should think McGonagall, Snape and Bellatrix would all be capable of that.

I apologize for the long, ranting post and the rampant capitalization, but honestly, I was a little offended by that story.

... if someone's already started a badfic reportage thread, generally it's best to report subsequent badfic in that one. That way we don't lose older threads off the end of the page.

Enjoy your Bleepka, though :)
