    Pet Peeves v.9

    How did this man not receive a First Class Order of Merlin medal for it? Damn shame.

    Pet Peeves v.9

    Potions for 'vision quests' where the person who imbibed it discovers what's his or hers animagus form. This kind of thing tends to pop up in fics where apparently being an animagus isn't a rare thing at all and it isn't really all that hard to achieve. That's something that annoys me. It goes hand in hand with Harry conveniently being handed over a cheat-sheet of a book on how to become an animagus in a short span of time. Just for shits and giggles, I'd like to see a fic where in a...

    You can respond to reviews via PM. No need to put that in with the actual story chapter.

    Responding to reviews in author's notes at the beginning of the chapter. Why would you ever do this kind of shit?

    It would make more sense to be sporting an erection when talking to a Veela rather than just a blush.

    This latest stunt, of [spoiler] I get that he can't go all indy!Harry on her, he can't just start blasting curses in front of everyone, but you'd think he'd have done something else to make the folk in Slytherin tow the line, given that he is knowledgeable and dangerous enough to be left alone for the most part. Oh and I just remembered another thing, from the 38th chapter, that I was very annoyed with. Relevant bit in the spoiler, so beware, all ye who have not read it before: [spoiler]...

    Pet Peeves v.9

    I've read today the latest chapter of "HP and the Emerald Trance" fanfic, and I do enjoy this fic, but the last couple of chapters have felt like filler, and I very much disliked that. But more than the filler chapters, I feel beating the dead horse that is Umbridge and Malfoy shitting over Harry with impunity, over and over again, has become more than merely annoying, it has in fact become a pet peeve of mine. I fear that when the time comes for Harry to pay them back in some manner, it...

    Didn't JKR change that later to somewhere around 110? She's really inconsistent when it comes to these things.

    Once or twice it being mentioned isn't a big deal, the problem starts when the only way Harry knows how to smile is lopsidedly.

    Pet Peeves v.9

    Regarding the H/Hr pairing, I came to dislike it because it usually tends to include Ron bashing of some sorts as a side-order. Sometimes it's just a little, sometimes it's holy fucking shit enough is enough. I do admit coming across one H/Hr fic where Ron was like "What, you expected me to go after Hermione? She's like my mum, nags all the time, but I get to talk back to her all the time and make things worse, I don't want that." But they were really volatile in the fic, kept jinxing and...

    You know what's a pet peeve? Getting a notification for a new chapter that's only 2-3k words, and half of it is the AN, blubbering about things I don't particularly care for.

    Depends on the fic or POV. If it's a girl, I could understand her paying attention to such things, but not really when it comes to the average guy, wizard or not.

    Because all we saw was Snape's selected memories on the matter. It's not exactly like he'd be up for giving an unbiased view on the full picture.

    Pet Peeves v.9

    Honestly can't remember anything other than the general outline. I think they even drop out of Hogwarts, Harry finds a job to support his 'family', there's probably Ron bashing somewhere in there as well. If you really want to know the details, here, I found it by Googling: Time Alone With Herself. Now, to get back on topic, I absolutely hate how so many fics which end up having a Harry/Hermione pairing tend to bash the shit out of Ron, for no particular reason, or how they portray him as...

    I think I once came across a smutfic like that, where Hermione was using Harry's hair for Polyjuice and a Time-Turner so that she could basically fuck herself, and even organize gangbangs. I believe the Time-Turner actually had a crack on it from overuse. She knocked herself up and then manipulated Harry into having a relationship with her, slept with him once and did the whole "I'm pregnant and it's yours (except not really)!" thing. Seriously, it's like they never invented a spell like...

    That would be The Amplitude, Frequency and Resistance of the Soul Bond you're talking about. That's the chapter where Sirius brings it up for the first time and here is where he admits he made it up.

    I deplore all those time-traveling fics where Harry's all about defending poor little Snape from the big and nasty Marauders. God damn, any rational person would just throw an AK at Snape's nose and be done with the fucker.

    That reminds me, tangentially, of all those poorly written dimension-hopping fics I've come across, where Harry just has to spill everything about himself to the people he encounters and trusts after a marginally short time of knowing them.

    Hmm, a pet peeve of mine is the whole thing where over the course of one summer Harry goes through a big change. Now, I'm not saying that it's an awful idea in general, there's all sorts of changes that can happen over the course of 2 months, perfectly plausible. Harry could get a change in attitude, brought on by some recent event. Harry could get laid. Harry could even get a haircut. What Harry could not do in 2 months of the summer is miraculously surpass Voldemort, and consequently...
