Story Note Hall of Fame
... or, And That Was Where I Stopped Reading.

"I do not have a beta; therefore, you may notice some descrepencies. My main flaw is keeping the same tense throughout the story (past vs. present) as well as character and plot development, sometimes story continuity."



Rating: I'm gonna go wif R? mild NC-17 at most

Genre: ... ... uh ... u decide ... I am so not a categorist *nods* but it IS a songfic and theres a lil fluff in it ;) and possibly a PWP

The only major departure from canon in this particular universe is that Lucius Malfoy is *not* a Death Eater and he and his family have no connections to Lord Voldemort.

-----

And I've been told this is a bit to cute for some people so....do keep that in mind.

-----

And yes, I know that no one in [time and place] would have been okay with homosexuality. It's just a story, people.

-----

Little does he know that his entire world is about to change. Or something. I suck at summaries, sorry. Just go ahead and read!

-----

This is my first foray into this fandom, so be warned. Fanon stereotypes about characters are rampant, and I’m taking liberties with canon.

Hi. Am usually quiet, but have fic that wrote that am quite proud of. Is a Weasley twin. I think it's George. Might not be, though, since I don't usually write them and I can't always tell them apart.

Answers to some of the FAQ from my betas--

1.) Yes, I know the Prologue is really weird and really depressing, but necessary -- don't worry -- it's the only piece like it in the whole story -- just keep slogging along, it gets better -- promise -- there's even some humour.

2.) Yes, I know some parts are highly melodramatic.  That's why they call it "literary license".

-----

Stupid melodramatic story. But I liked it like 5 minutes ago when I wrote it. So.

-----

I am well aware that this may not be popular. My characterization rarely is. I don't think I care.

For one moment, I thought all these notes were for the same story. :)

But other than that, we should be speeding right along.

I think this person should write Memento fan fiction, because then all of her main flaws could easily turn a story into a brilliant piece told by an unreliable narrator!

Won't help the spelling, but... unreliable narrator with brain damage!

See? Perfect fit.

I remember seeing a fic on some HP Snapelist whose author asked that we be gentle with her because she hadn't seen the movies nor read book canon, and she thought there were some continuity issues and she didn't have a beta, but that if we gave her a chance, she was sure we'd all like it.

To which I just shuddered in horror and clicked the Next button.

I've seen some gems, but these are hilarious. Nice of them to make it easy for us to decide whether or not we should read the fic, though. My other favourite is the variant on "If you don't write me feedback I'm gonna hold my breath 'til I turn blue."

I actually could sympathise with this one and give the author a chance, 'cuz all my favorite stories have uniformly sucky summaries!

You had me at "I do not have a beta". *G*

Someone recently sent me some story notes she'd found that included the following:

Obviously this is AU. Which means that everything you know about
the end of Buffy and the last few seasons of Angel are null and void
in this fic. So if you're into canon, you don't want to read anything here.
