    Do you have Firefox? On the firefox add-ons page, search for Ad-Block Plus. Its primary purpose is to block any banner ads that come up, etc. But it can also block individual images by right clicking them, and then selecting "Adblock Image".

    I see an irritating avatar... And now I don't.

    Seeing that ava tells me why Tinn is so...nice to everyone. Anyhoo, 5/5 from me because I read the reviews and couldn't help laughing so hard I knocked over my beer.

    Nor did I. If you're talking about Mirk's ava, I definitely don't get it.

    If you're talking about Sree's ava: are you somehow implying that Tinn is ugly?** Best be prepared to be raeped by some of her more zealous fans.

    Enter zealous Tinn fan. Kinda. Well, she beta'd for me once. Not even that really. Anyway, I laughed at you. I hope Tinn comes here and unleashes all her French and, more importantly, female fury on you.

    Also, knocking over beer is a big no no. You never waste beer. Faget.

    Tinn is a Goddess. It says so above her avatar. And Goddesses are never ugly, duh. But what you actually meant I didn't get, either.


    Also; thanks for the tip, Iztiak. It works with Opera as well. No more brain-bleach worthy avatars, thank god.

    I should've made myself a bit more clear,
    this "thread" should be made into a parody fic.

    ...

    How the hell could you make a library thread into a parody fic?
    That isn't clear at all. Just stop trying.

    Is Jolly Rancher's other fic, The Tangibility of Magic, also a parody?

    I just read this fic and its reviews for the first time, and I must say it was one of the lulziest things I ever read. Nice work on the deception, Jolly Rancher, you even put a bunch of shitty stories into the favorites list of your alias to fool the fangirls.

    Full marks.

    I like H/Ginny, which is surprising seeing as I am a member, (however low) of DLP. However, this fic was a bit... immature though I have suffered through much worse.

    My question is, how did this actually not get the trash bin?

    Well, it should be noted this was more of a piece of trickery where a member of staff masqueraded as a Ginny-loving fangirl to incite the DLP masses into trashing and bashing the fic, all the while the staff was in on the joke.

    That's why the early bashing 1/5 flames are generally ignored. And it was much fun. Something more like a social experiment than a fic judged purely on its merits. And Sree lured in an awful lot of Harry/Ginny fans with the first few chapters scoring angry hurtful remarks for the conclusion.

    By the way, the Tangibility of Magic isn't a parody like this one. I liked it and had it on my C2 way before I found DLP. Just an abandoned independent type Harry sort of start, if memory serves. Decent... but with a name like Jolly Rancher I thought it was a she. ;p

    I feel bad. I recommended it just today to someone looking for the worst of the Harry/Ginny fics. (I also recommended Abraxan's).

    lol. Yeah, they are a bit behind with working through the queue of reported fics. I report one fic per week and they usually need several months before they remove something - if they remove it at all.

    Even if there are numerous reports for blatant plagiarism - someone submitted Bobmin's fic "Sunset over Britain" as his own - they still need half a year to react.
