Please someone, write my dream story.
I want a story. A good story mind you. Not some of the crap you see online. Some of its good, but most of it is pretty bad. This story I want would actually be realistic, as far as any fantasy story can be anyway. I want a story that...
The wizarding war is actually a war.
Voldemort is more like a terrorist leader.
Harry can't off voldemort easily. Make it a challenge. No good story is about the happily ever after, their about the struggle.
There is suspense, I love suspense, and I think a lot of the fanfic audience does as well.
Dumbledore has to be good. Stories where Dumbles is an evil manipulator are ok (well some of them) but there are simply too many of those stories, and they are all the same.
have words actually spelled out, no text abbreviations or anything
For bonus points...
have harry join the muggle military (don't know why but I love those stories especially Battlefield by Pen Ternin)
have harry actually seem like he grew up in an abusive household
Do not have...
horcruxes
Avalon, Atlantis, etc.
knights in shining armor
Harry agreeing with everything Hermione suggests (I've actually read a story where Hermione suggests to harry he should go to the restroom and harry responding saying "yes, I need to go poop." I mean WTF?)
no slash (I'm not a hater, but at the same time I wish to remain ignorant of what goes on between two guys/girls who are intimate with each other)
