![]() Author has written 1 story for Harry Potter. Hello everybody! I'm a big Harry Potter, Dresden Files and Star Wars fan, my favourite lists should reflect that pretty well. If any of you from DLP are reading this – You probably know me as ‘Sophie’. For everyone who hasn’t heard of that site yet, go check it out: www.darklordpotter.net If you're wondering what DLP is - Nonjon made an awesome post concerning that subject, read it here: Some of the best writers in HP/Dresden fandom are regulars there – shezza88, nuhuh, nonjon, RustyRed, kmfrank, Joe, Tinn Tam, Sesc… Mind you, those are just a few examples. As for my preferences in fanfiction - I like to read about an intelligent, mature Harry that doesn't go around pissing people off just because he can. That means I dislike a lot of fics belonging to the Independent!Harry genre. Pulling Independent!Harry off by still keeping Harry reasonable (and not prone to indulge in three-chapter shopping sprees, for example) is rare in fanfiction. I don't have a favourite pairing, just as I don't have a pairing I absolutely can't stand reading. Even Harry/Ginny can be entertaining when the author is competent, meaning he or she has a decent plot, good writing style and doesn't indulge in clichés like soulbonds, Mary Sues or the like - fanfiction diseases especially H/G stories seem to be rather vulnerable to. Sadly, I have yet to read a good H/G story. In fact, scratch that whole pairing thing. Many a good story has been destroyed by too much romance and/or badly-written romance. I can only think of one example for a well-executed romance subplot right now, and it's not even HP: The 'Sun of Suns' Trilogy by blank101 (Star Wars). You can find it in my favourites. However, that doesn't mean that I don't like romance stories. I'm talking about stories that are pure fluff and don't aspire to be anything more than they are, which can make for a very entertaining read. As for smut: Hell yes, but in reasonable amounts. One of my favourite HP characters is (besides Harry, of course) Dumbledore. If you want to make him an evil, manipulative bastard, you better have a good reason for it. Yes, he does manipulate Harry in canon, but he does it with the best intentions in mind. That doesn't mean he is infallible - and he's not, for a fact - but he isn't evil. Money stealing!Dumbledore is, sorry, complete nonsense. Why would a wizard as powerful, old and influential as him need to steal money from Harry? I'd imagine Hogwarts pays its headmasters pretty well. Being head of the Wizengamot won't hurt his wallet either. Evil Weasleys - no, just no. Just like Evil!Dumbledore, it feels like a cheap way out to create more 'enemies' for Harry. Yes, they can be annoying and overwhelming, but I fail to imagine them as anything but a big family that has, just like Dumbledore, Harry's best intentions at heart. I don't dislike Ron on principle, either - in fact, I prefer a well-written supportive Ron over a well-written jealous and hateful Ron. However, these are quite rare when you put the emphasis on 'well-written'. I'll stop rambling now - if you want to know anything else or would like to discuss my stories or the information given on my profile with me, just send me a message! | |||||||
