OBITUARY FOR THE LATE MR. COMMON SENSE:

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered for having cultivated such valuable lessons as: knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Calpol, sun lotion, or a band-aid to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust, his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son Reason.

He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

REST IN PIECE TOONAMI.

From beginning to the very end I was there. I will never forget.

Seemingly Random Things that Result in a Dropped Story.

Do note before list, I have checked pairings I don't read Slash m/m, she is old enough to be his Grandmother( Unless he travels back in time), or transformed girl Harry with boy or the other way around. (I do not mind Feminized characters as long as they were born that way in story.)

Well for me I have check list before I'll even open story, then another before I read it.
1. Look at title are all words that should be capitalized done so?
2. Summary, does it exist? (None of that I suck at summary shit)
3. Summary, Proper capitalization (Mostly Names, and the Letter "I" when it is a word.) 4. At least 1k words per chapter (Prefer 2.5k Words) and at least 10k words already written.

Story Itself.
1. Paragraphs, no text wall, no multiple people speaking in same paragraph.
2. Sentences, Proper capitalization, (First word, Names, and the Letter "I" when it is a word.)

Reading.
1. Soul Bonds that Force things. (Sex, Emotions, Freedom)
2. The word mate used when describing a relationship (ex. Ginny is Harry's Mate)
3. Stealth Slash or author refuses to say if story is going to be slash or not.
4. Main character Rapes someone of their own free will.
5. If I'm reading a non-pwp harem story, no more then six girls( though I prefer 4 max)
6. No teacher/student relationships before 5th year or 15/16 years old.
7. Normal age 1st or 2nd years having full on sex with anyone. (Some stories start school at 16)
8. When authors give Harry a boost but it really changes nothing. (Harry still goes to Dursleys, listens to Dumbledore, Padfoot still dies, etc).
9. When Dark Harry becomes Baby Killer Harry or Joins Voldemort.
10. Non-Willing Slavery (Some people are Subs, some like full on Slavery as long as it is their choice)
11. When Authors boost Voldemort when Harry gets stronger because they must be equal. ( Really? Voldemort 50 years of training learning vs Harry a School boy and Tom gets a boost because Harry gets stronger?)
