FOREWORD
One story I have only really come to recently is the famous (or infamous, depending) Andrew Hussie webcomic Homestuck. One of the Microsoft Paint Adventures webcomics, Homestuck is a webcomic I've only recently tried. I have to admit, while the plot is rather confusing at times, and the art style and story took considerable time to get used to, it's somewhat enjoyable. And one part I found enjoyable were the Trolls.
Initially masquerading as internet trolls, the Trolls soon proved to be a vital part of Homestuck's convoluted story. There have been a few Harry Potter crossovers so far, but I felt like doing something a bit more unusual, where Harry Potter is a Troll…or at least becomes one. It's contrived, messy, and convoluted (much like Homestuck), but I think it has potential.
Homestuck wasn't the only influence. I also owe something of the characterisation of Apollo Amduat to Yttral, an eccentric Dalek scientist from Second Empire, a webcomic which is well worth reading, even if you're not a Doctor Who fan.
I'm also taking significant liberties with Troll society and history, as well as a bit of biology. I'm trying to integrate the Potterverse with the Troll society, and I need to cut away a lot of the convoluted backstory, as well as how Alternia and Earth are linked. Yes, I am aware that the violent nature of Troll society is not their fault. For the purpose of this story, SGRUB (and SBURB, for that matter), Skaia, Doc Scratch and all that don't exist, and John, Rose, Dave and Jade, if they do exist in the Potterverse, are living perfectly normal lives (or at least as normal as they can be with their families). Homestuck fans, if you don't like it, that's your problem. I'm taking the characters and their essence to tell a story.
It's worth pointing out that I did a pilot version of this idea in Ofiuco Amduat and the Goblet of Fire, but I had trouble getting it to work. However, a couple of whitetigerwolf's challenges helped me out: namely Internet Buddies (which is, admittedly, a Sekirei challenge), and Adopted Alien. Once more, I must emphasise that normally, I do NOT take challenges, so don't send me any.
Oh, and incidentally, the name means a government formed by the worst people for the job. Says a lot about Magical Britain…or Troll society, doesn't it?
Anyway, time for the usual disclaimers. Firstly, there will be spoilers for both Homestuck and Harry Potter. If you want to avoid spoilers for the former especially, don't read. I'm also shifting canon time forward a year, so Harry's 16 at the start.
Secondly, there will be heavy annotations, as is usual for my works. You have been warned.
Thirdly, this is an M-Rated work. There will be coarse language, violence, sexual references and dark themes. Again, you have been warned.
Finally, the following is a fan-written work. Homestuck and Harry Potter are the properties of their respective owners. Please support the official release. Otherwise, Vriska will take control of you and make you do something humiliating, injurious, or, most likely, both…
