I was very surprised not to see this old classic on DLP's library after searching around. It's a very good story, and it should be added to the library. I've never actually seen another like it; there's just never been a person capable of really writing insane!Harry quite like this.

And there's a lot of humor; quotes like this:

Only problem is a lack of plot. But that's overshadowed by the fun writing style. 5/5

Sadly though, it's abandoned. Fortunately, a rough plan of what he's going to do is here: http://forum.fanficauthors.net/showthread.php?tid=132

If you don't want that, read this (the ending):

Ah, a truly Insane!Harry and Homicidal!Harry

4/5 because alas, it is abandoned.

 

Rusk is one of the first authors I closely followed in the HP fandom, and he continues to put out outstanding work; I have yet to read a bad or even decent piece by him. The only problem he has is his horrible rate for updating; even worse than Jeconais.

I'd give this a 4.5/5 as it's abandoned.

 

I remember reading this one over a year ago. Easily the best insane!Harry I've ever read. The rambling 1st person style in which the story is narrated really makes you feel like there's something wrong with Harry's head.

5/5

 

I remember liking this. It's been a long time since I read it, but it's good.

 

I like it. I especially enjoy the sense of humor throughout it.

 

This is definately a classic. Most Azkaban stories where Harry goes insane stray from his... uh "insane-ness".

I really love the way Ruskbyte lets us paw through Harry's mind - he really does keep the insaneness going.

My only quibble with the story is that when he gets dumped back at Hogwarts, he doesn't actually kill Dumbles & Co.

Harry even says "I want to kill them.
All of them.
Everyone in this forsaken castle.
This forsaken school.
All the teachers.
All the students.
Every single wizard.
Every single witch.
All of them.
Without exception.
None deserve to be spare.
None."

I mean, honestly... He has the means and he has to motives - but in the end all he kills are Aurors.

When (hopefully and not if) Ruskbyte updates, I really hope to see my quibble disappear.

Personally, I think all of Ruskbyte's stories ought to be in the library.

4.5/5 - seeing as he isn't updating *sulks*

 

I don't think I've ever, ever, read anything so full of rampant destruction and slaughter...it was truly tasty. The way he captures the inner workings of Harry's destroyed mind is almost poetic, both in format and in language. I love Hermione's character normally, and even I was hoping that her imminent rape/death would be especially gruesome and humiliating. Even abandoned, at least it stopped at a good point, so I give this 5/5.

 

perfect job love his revenge and power

 

I recall reading this story not so long ago.
I found it very interesting and loved the way the author captured Harry's madness.

One thing I never quite understood though was if Harry was responsible for the rape and murder of the Patil Twins.

Oh well, has the author ever stated whether he will return to it someday?

4.5/5
It's abandoned....what else is there to say

 

I have to say this was alot better than I thought it would be I really liked how the author protrayed Harrys maddness and the acts of insanity that he did I give it a 5/5 but its a shame its abandoned.

 

Gotta love the format and Harry's scatterbrained thought process! It's an instant classic.

 

This was the first Insane!Harry I read, and I don't recall another so good first-person narration in Hp fandom. Really captures the scope of Harry's madness, and the bacon-scene in the last chapter cannot be bettered. Ever. This story is my standard for judging Insane!Harry stories. 5/5, even if it's abandoned.

 

Yes... Pity it seems to be abandoned.

 

Dude, my pedo!harry senses are tingling

Quote:
I would call it The Wand, but that would only remind me that I haven't had my own "wand" serviced by some tight, hot, wet, little Muggle bitch since I made my return.
I suppose I'll simply have to find a tight, hot, wet, little witch bitch that I can bend over and help myself to.



And how da fk did he get knocked out back in Ch 3?

 

Don't shy away from swearing.
FUCK FUCK FUCK CUNT FUCK FUCK CUNTFUCK!

See, we don't care about that here.

Jeconais wrote something for the story. Just a facsimile of Ruskbyte's writing in 1st person, but cool nonetheless.

Wish we had more of the real thing though.

 

This story...fuck I just love this story, crazy as fuck Insane!Harry is my favorite and this Harry, fuck he's my ideal Harry. Love this story 5/5. To bad its abandoned I think I may read this story again right now, fuck I love this story.
