Harry Potter Fanfiction – Read Over 85,000 Stories!

That right there is a hilarious prompt and I am now so excited about what's to come in this!

That wall is downright mean! He needs to be taught a lesson!

I don't want to be a Cark if this is their destiny! 

Oooo that's a cool talent to have, to be able to see the past and past lifes! Especially one of a drunk old man! 

Nora sounds like she's on the crazy train heading straight to crazy town! Making a stop at insane lane on the way. 

OMG! That headline about James is brilliant! Why does he need eleven days of interviews? Hahaha that is ridiculous, but I want to read them all!! 

THIS IS HILARIOUS! I hope that she doesn't die and beats the curse. I can't wait to read more of this, it's so funny and so brilliant, and I love it!

Hello!

Awww, what a lovely surprise review! Thank you so much, Tammi! &hearts; It was really generous of you to leave so many reviews for so many members, btw.

And nobody wants to be a Cark. :P Unfortunately, some didn't have a say when they were born within the Close.

Yeah, I'm very fond of Nora! :P Also, I blame her craziness on that Wacky OC prompt.

Your review really made me giggle a bit. I'm so glad you find this funny. :) Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to read and review. &hearts;

Hufflepuff, House Cup 2015!

Bahahahaha!  *DIES laughing*  Oh my Gosh!  This is so suspenseful and drama-filled, but more than that it's just complete insanity and hilarious!  Pikachus coming out of his robes?!  Mojo Jojo?!? You are a comedy genius!

I felt bad for Nora and Jo when they were nearly caught, and oh my goodness, Lily Lou does seem just as bad as she's described!

Now, for James' prediction - I'm really curious as to how all of that will play out, and also curious about why someone would try to kill him!  I need another suspenseful, hilarious chapter now! :P  

Also, how did Lily Lou know about that wish Jo made in the morning?  *Raises eyebrow suspiciously*  Is she ACTUALLY the devil?  LOL.  

Great job, Teh!

Author Response

MOJO JOJO!! POWERPUFF GIRLS!! PIKACHUUU!!

I have really no clue what I'm doing or where I'm going with this fic?? I know I've probably lost my mind, though. :P

Lily-Lou is indeed the Bad Guy. The Devil Incarnate. Am I being literal? What do you think? :P

I'm not sure that the plot or the events or character motives of this story will ever make sense, or attempt to make sense. 

And I'm honestly so flattered that you thought this was a suspenseful chapter, despite the ridiculousness of it!

Thank you for all your beautiful reviews, Jayde. &hearts; I really do appreciate your comments, your thoughts, and how you take time to stop by and read my pieces, even though they aren't the shortest.

PS: HUFFLEPUFF FOR HOUSE CUP

Hufflepuff House Cup 2015!

Hahahaha!  Oh my Gosh, this story is so hilarious already!  And all of the characters are just completely crazy!  I can definitely see that this was written for the Wacky OC challenge!  You incorporated that prompt sooo wonderfully!  

There was so many funny little tidbits, like mentioning "One Dimension" and a Microsoft Spreadsheet!  You really had me chuckling!  And of course, then there's the somewhat dreary but still funny notion that Jo's going to die soon... :P

I really like this so far, I can't wait to see what's coming next!  (And I have to say, this is a welcome change after having my heart broken by 'Other side of glass'!  :P

Author Response

Hello again, Jayde! &hearts;

I see you've stumbled upon something less serious on my page. :P I know you've just come off from reading Other Side of Glass, so this may have been quite a shock to your system. :P Ah, the Wacky OC Challenge. I really did go off in that direction, didn't I?! :P

Poor Jo. Having to deal with One Dimension and curses. 

I really do hope you keep reading, though if you do, I can't promise a whole lot of sense or seriousness. :P

Thank you for being awesome, Jayde!

House Cup 2015 Hufflepuff

Yes! Another chance to come and review something I've been meaning too for months! I read this back around Keckers and hand to God, this is the funniest thing I have ever read in my entire life. Seriously, every other line has me laughing out loud. It's one of my go-to reads on bad days. I absolutely adore all of the characters you've created, especially the Potter kids. It's so interesting to read them as the antagonists, so to speak, as they are pretty much always seen as the heroes. Or, at least the ones we want to root for. Here, I'd have absolutely no problem if Lily-Lou were eaten by a Hungarian Horntail, in fact I'd probably welcome it. 

I love the fact that underneath all of this silly humor is a real plot, and that plot seems to be pretty serious. The idea of the curse is horrible, even though the way you've described it is kind of morbidly hilarious. Jo's desire to avoid being hit by falling pianos or some other horrible death is kind of hilarious and very relatable. Who wants to die? The fact that she's taken some <i>precautions</i> to avoid her death gives the whole thing a sort of sinister vibe that somehow blends really well with the humor involved. (I mean, I love morbid humor so maybe it just resonates really well with me.) 

I'm very excited to see how this develops, especially with the allusion to slightly more serious content. 

Puffs for the Cup!

WHAT COMPLIMENTS HAVE YOU LEFT ME. I am so unworthy. *cries* *hugs* &hearts; &hearts;

This is one of your go-to reads on bad days?!? Well, this fic does have its uses after all! And, gah, I'm so flattered that my absurd and ridiculous nonsense can make you feel better. &hearts;

Yes, the Potter kids are all shady and murky and definitely on the good side. Lily-Lou would unfortunately be more likely to ride a freaking Hungarian Horntail rather than be eaten by one. She /is/ the devil incarnate, after all! :P

Yeah, theoretically it's a serious plot. A deadly curse plaguing the protagonist. Except silly things happen, like falling grand pianos. If you think about it, I suppose Jo's reaction is quite logical: I mean, who wants to be killed by a falling piano!?! People would probably ridicule your manner of death for years, making cartoons about pianos falling on poor hapless souls. :P And ah, her /precautions/. Jo isn't exactly clear of The Dark Side either.

There are hints of more serious content to come. But knowing this fic, I may not portray them in a serious manner at all. *hides* I apologise. :P

Thank you for your fabulous review, Katie! &hearts; This made me laugh!

TEH!

So I could have SWORN I reviewed this just as soon as it was posted and I greedily devoured it, but apparently I just greedily devoured it and then skipped away giggling. IT IS NO MATTER. HOUSE CUP 2015 GRYFFINDORrRrRr

Just, the ending is SO good! So perfect. It encapsulates everything I love about this story!

I don't even know where to START reviewing this chapter (which is probably why I didn't before). There are so many brilliant lines and jokes, and it isn't JUST weird, it's also CLEVER as hell. 

"Sharkhuahua" was definitely a stand out moment to me, and also "Celestina Warbeck's sex appeal." And the bit with all the alliterations of the Abyss Gazing back.

The random and the meta always goes just far enough, and then you kind of pull back and say something clever to remind me it's actually a story with a plot (which has been amazing to watch emerge! The other dimension is coming into play!) Your word plays and jokes are just absolutely brilliant. It all works because you're such a great writer that you can get away with so much absurd crazy and still sell it, and still have a technically functional story to hang it all onto. Like, prose-wise and flow-wise and all that, it's perfect, and then it's also BATPOOP MADNESS. 

I CAN'T WAIT FOR AN UPDATE ON THIS!

Am I glad to see you back here at this fic!! I love reading reviews for this stupid story asldkjalskd. 

(House Cup 2015 HUFFLEPUFF, btw. ;) )

So as usual, I just wrote whatever came to my mind. And I suppose I was thinking a lot about terrible B-grade Creature Feature movies as I was writing this chapter. Stuff about giant snakes and sharks and stuff. And how could I /not/ write about Sharktopus and the other hybrids mankind have managed to dredge up from the murky, oceanic depths of imagination?! 

I'm a little astounded that you think there are actually brilliant lines in there!! Silly, yes, ridiculous, definitely. But brilliant? *blush* 

The Alliterative Abyss Gazing Back was me getting carried away. :P And Celestina Warbeck's sex appeal came out of nowhere. Bah.

You're right about one thing: it's all batpoop and it's all mad. Yes, there is supposedly a story behind all the craycray, but it's probably absurd. :P

Thank you my dear! I don't have any updates planned for this, because I have so much other stuff to write *sobs*.

&hearts; &hearts; But when the crazy in my life reaches a certain tipping point, you'll see another chapter.

HI TEH! HAPPY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY LATE HOT SEAT DAY! :-D

Omg. This story is near impossible to review well. I mean, the chapter title alone! Are you kidding me? Hahahaha! I keep trying to redeem myself from my last review on chapter one, but the sheer levels of hilarity and silliness written into this story keep turning my brain to mush! WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?

I'm apologizing ahead of time for this newest round in insanity and for the number of times I quote you. It can't be helped. This is your fault.

<i>"Allie Apples is – was a member of the once popular wizarding band, One Dimension."</i> - ONE DIMENSION, YOU DIDN'T!!! HAHAHA PERFECTION.

<i>“You’ll want to be more careful now,” Nora says as I pull out of the garage. “After all, your time’s supposed to be up. You could be harvested by Death’s grim scythe any moment now.”</i> - Ah, friendship. Nothing lovelier. :-p

My God, your characters are hilarious. Nora's bouts of inter-dimensional mind-travel are just the greatest thing ever. And I love that Lizzy's always calling her Princess or Your Highness. Too much fun. :-p

Port Sturry sounds a <i>blast</i>.

Oh, God! Polyjuice Potion was already gross, and now you've just taken it to a whole other level of ick-ick-ick! *shudders* What goes on in that head of yours, teh, I may never know... O_O

I just love the sheer amounts of <i>magic</i> you have in this fic - and so much of it completely original. Carkett Close and its whole deal was already imaginative enough, but you've got so many new places, new tricks, new ways of life being featured in this story that it's just so impressive. This whole smuggling world, for example... First of all - LOL! Wow, what a job to throw your characters into. Love it. And then the way the business is dealt with inside these ports, the way they do their sneaking about and smuggling. It's all brilliant and hilariously entertaining and a world unto itself. This story feels like its own universe. :)

<i>The Auror, meanwhile, is now doing a cross between the Viennese waltz and Gangnam-style.</i> - This is officially my favorite spell ever.

Holy cow, what happened in the Potter household to cause Lily - er... Lily-Lou, excuse me - to grow up so... so... holy-mother-of-God-crazy-pants-crazy?

LOL Love the way the chapter title seriously comes into play later on. :-p

<i>Well, it’s simple, Mojo Jojo.</i> - HAHAHA OMG, IS THAT A POWERPUFF GIRLS REFERENCE? I could kiss you. &hearts;

I have to tell you: I love that this is turning into a legitimate story beneath all the ridiculous antics and references and insanity. I'm, like, sincerely invested in this story now. I really want to know what's up with this whole James plotline. It's beyond intriguing.

<i>“The hobo fohmally known as Jojo is no mo'. From this day fowohd, I shall be known as MOJO JOJO!”</i> - HAHAHAHA Omg. I kind of want to be friends with your twisted version of Lily just for that.

Bahahaha I love that Nora is just flopped down in the middle of the road for this entire exchange. *pets*

Wow. What a party... O_O LOL Seriously, that place sounds like a coulrophobic's nightmare. Oh Lily-Lou... You're gonna be a great character, aren't you? She's hilarious and devious and it's absolutely wonderful to watch her mess with good ol' Mojo Jojo's head. I'm super curious about these powers of hers that she seems to possess, though! I hope we end up with a fuller explanation at some point, because I am super intrigued! :-D

This was brilliant, yet again. And I think my review came out much more coherent this time around!!! Yay! It took a lot of effort, I'm not gonna lie. ;)

Stay awesome, possum.

HI TANYA!! &hearts; &hearts;

...this response is waaay laaate OH GOD I AM SO SORRY  -hides-

But srsly OMG THANK YOOUUU for this reviewww!!

You are far too kind and I LOVE YOU and this story makes no sense but thank you for this review again asldj;asldk;

I don't even remember what I wrote because it's been waaay too long since I even wrote anything. And...ONE DIMENSION. I wanna write ONE DIMENSION fanfic where the band is reunited baahahaha. Nora and Jo are indeed the best of friends. They're more a partnership than friends, actually, but still friends.

Seriously, I look at all your comments and I think, did I really write all that stuff you're quoting? Turns out I did. :P I have no idea what frame of mind I was in while writing this chapter, but it wasn't anything normal. And I would love to curse someone and force them to do gangnam style plus a viennese waltz. YES.

Lily-Lou, hahaha, I love writing her. Her making Jo quote the Powerpuff Girls. UGH I MIGHT JUST START SHIPPINH THEM TOGETHERRR. SHe's the devil, Lily-Lou, and you'd better start taking me literally, Tanya. :P

Your review's coherent, what are ya talking about?! It's this story that's completely whacked. BUT THANK YOU.

 &hearts; &hearts; &hearts; &hearts; &hearts;

-tehhh

I'm glad Joanna wonders about Apparition too. It's definitely something I myself have wondered- what would happen if all the atoms got put back together incorrectly? Like if your eyes ended up on your knees instead of on your face. It would be the worst. How do you know that's not going to happen??

'Modern art sculptures that look like a conglomeration of diapers' But actually... statues of togas? :P

Sharkhuahua. LOL *dies* I'm imagining that being attacked by one would be like being attacked by a guppy. Also, Viktor needs to work on his natural-disaster charms because then he can work on sequels to Sharknado, like for example: Sharkquake, Sharclone, Sharclone XII, etc. omg but actually I just love this entire dig at the film industry. :D

It is chapters like this where I am highly envious of Nora. When I have to go to boring meetings or something, I would love to just zap off to some alternate dimension where I'm a princess.

Contemplated by the Chasm. Can this be the next chapter title please? Haha. But seriously THIS PARAGRAPH IS SO EXISTENTIAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL and I'm taking it way more seriously than I should

I bet the lobsters came from his pockets too.

This fic turns my reviews into rambly nonsense, but just know that I love this story so much and as always this was a fantastic chapter.

And now at the conclusion of this chapter I am left wondering... who is the founder of Voidism? Was it...

...

...

...

Voidemort? :P

Author Response

Kristin! &hearts;

How do we know it's not going to happen? Did I say  it's not going to happen? That's a great suggestion, and another way I can muck up JKR'swizarding world mechanics even more. :P

EVERYTHING IS MODERN ART. SRSLY.

Bahahaha yes Krum should indeed transfigure himself into half a shark and half a tropical cyclone. LOVE your movie titles! I have a silly fondness for terrible shark movies. Nothing amuses me more than seeing bad shark movies. OK, except bad giant snake movies.

And the Voidism bit was me rattling off nonsense. I don't even know why I wrote all that; there doesn't seem to be any relevance to the plot, though that may be because I haven't got the faintest idea what the plot is. And I cannot believe you just called this fic - /this fic/ - 'existential and philosophical'. :P

And yeah, the lobsters definitely came from his pocket. The james's pockets are portals to other dimensions.

And you know, I originally missed your 'Voidemort' pun. 'i' looks a lot like 'l' sometimes. :P VOIDEMORT. I love it!! Lemme find a way to cram him in somewhere.

Thank you for another brilliant review, lovely! &hearts;

Teh. Like...what is this whacked-out awesomeness that I've just read? I swear I did not ever stop grinning throughout all three chapters of this. I knew that you were a great dramatic writer, so obviously I should have known that talent would cross over into humor as well :)

All the concepts are just so creative and wacky. Joanna's curse? Nora as an interdimensional princess AND reincarnation of Filch? Just whaaat? How do you come up with all of it? It's nothing short of fantastic. And the Potters are all great, especially Lily-Lou as the actual Satan. They are hilarious, obvs, and I have to say I cannot wait to meet the Boy Who Lived himself. I can only imagine what you have in store for him!

What can I say? I had a great time reading this, and I will definitely be coming back to it whenever I need a laugh. Jo's voice is biting and smart, and all the characters are so well-defined (perhaps because they each have their own very unique brand of crazy.) Great job as always, and I hope you have enjoyed your day on the hot seat :)

Maggie! &hearts;

I apologise!! FOR EVERYTHING. 

First, I apologise for taking so long to respond to your wonderful and extremely amusing review. Thank you so, so much for taking the time to read and review. &hearts;

Second, I apologise for this fic. I APOLOGISE SERIOUSLY. Sometimes I zone out and then I start writing chapters of this. I'm never in a sane frame of mind whenever I'm updating this fic. :P

All the concepts are indeed crazy and completely unrealistic, as are the characters and their situations. I mean, come on, Filch's soul being spliced and sent to another dimension? Ridiculous. I don't know how I came up with it, to be honest. I think I was just frustrated with my writing. I tried to write a popular pairing (James/OC) and failed completely and this turned up instead.

Ooh, The Boy Who Lived!! Will he or won't he make an appearance? I haven't decided yet. I don't plan this fic; I just pull stuff out of my head.

I'm glad this fic gave you a bit of a laugh, even though it's completely silly. Thank you so much, my dear; you're far too lovely!! I have really enjoyed my time on the hot seat thanks to the generosity of my lovely badgers. &hearts;

MY DARLING TEH! HAPPY WAY WAY WAY BELATED HOT SEAT DAY! :-D

Omg. This is... hilarious. And ridiculous. And hilarious. And I can't even think straight because what did I just read? hahaha

...I honestly have no idea how to review this. LOL It's so... bizzare! And perfect! And hilarious! (Have I mentioned?) Seriously, what is happening?

Alright, allow me to gather my thoughts and attempt some coherency.

*takes many a deep breath*

...HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH THIS STUFF? THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS IN THE GREATEST WAY IMAGINABLE. I'm sorry, I can't do it. I can't offer you a decent review because it's just so... what? I DON'T HAVE ANY WORDS FOR THE AWESOMELY WEIRD THAT IS THIS STORY.

The Carkett Close. Omg, how in the world did you come up with that? The story behind it is just... ahahaha! Seriously, it's so great. So funny and weird and this review is just me talking in circles. What do you want from me? You've unscrewed my brain.

HAHAHA I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MADE THAT PROMPT FLAT OUT WORK. WHAT IS LIFE.

James Potter II - what are you doing with your life, kid (besides hitting up a pub)?! Sentient, telepathic mould?! Bahahaha - Lizzy. AHAHAHA CREEVEY - OF COURSE HE GETS A CAMEO. &hearts;

I'm sorry this isn't a better review, but nothing I write will live up to this epic opening chapter. So I'm just going to tell you that this is sincerely phenomenal, hilarious, ridiculous, crazy, hilarious, strange, so so weird, bizarre, hilarious, wacky, splendiforous, nonsensical amazingness and I laughed throughout the entire thing.

You are a brilliant. And my sincere apologies for the level of stupidity that is this review.

Tanya

P.S. No, seriously, I adored this, it is brilliant, you are brilliant, and I again apologize for the amount of stupid I've left for you to clean up. G'day, sir.

MY DARLING TANYA!! YOU LEFT ME THIS.../WHAT/ IS THIS REVIEW OF AWESOMENESS

I SHALL NEVER TURN OFF CAPSLOCK

jk jk

You've asked all the right questions with this fic: "what even did you just read?" is a very fitting question. Because I myself don't know the answer even though I wrote all this rubbish. You would think that I have better things to do. 

I can't believe I actually used that crazy prompt. :P And um, of course the whole story had to fit around that prompt. As for James II, did I say that he was 'hitting up a pub' or 'hitting a pub'?

Creevey is everywhere. He's like a cockroach. :P An adorable one.

This review gave me all teh lulz. I don't deserve reviews for this fic, really. But I LOVE ALL OF THEM ANYWAY. &hearts;

THANK YOU MY DEAR. Oh, wait, you forgot this. *hands over unscrewed brain to Tanya*

&hearts; &hearts;

SHE WAS ARGUS FILCH IN A PREVIOUS LIFE

Ha, I love this story. Where do you come up with this stuff?!

"before it starts hailing taxis"... hahahahah. I'm a huge fan of terrible puns. Seriously, every time I leave a review on this story I'm not even able to describe how awesome it is. The complete weirdness of everything that happens, your quirky and clever writing style, mentioning the most absurd things in a chill way as if they're so commonplace, the way everything actually ties together in a brilliant way, all of it. Basically, I have trouble writing review on this story because I just want to quote the entire thing back to you, but a) it would not be a very useful review, and b) it would exceed the character count anyway.

Ok, one more quote. "Statues in togas, statues of togas" just... love it. If you wouldn't mind clarifying though, is it a statue of a pile of cloth - like a toga with no one in it, or a statue of a toga as if it's on a person who's not there? Like a statue of the shape of a toga around an invisible person. :P

MacGyver Malfoy, that crafty jerk. Please write a spinoff fic about him.

That whole scene with James (I mean, <i>The James</i>) fishing things out of his pockets (like a kitchen sink, and Every Flavour Pita Bread XD) made me laugh out loud! Actually, most of this story has made me laugh out loud.

knighted for services to bodybuilding hahaha. I know I said I wasn't going to quote you anymore, but I lied.

This story is so fresh and original and crazy, but I found the following quote by Oscar Levant, which I think sums up your story very well: "There's a fine line between insanity and genius." Thus, this story is genius and you are brilliant. Hats off to you my friend (or I would take my hat off, if I'd not lost it while laughing in the beginning of the chapter.

&hearts;

INDEED SHE WAS

I just found out myself. SOOO new Argus Filch crack!headcanon, anyone!!

I come up with this stuff from a deep dark pit inside my brain. It's like a lucky draw, or a raffle, actually. I dip in and draw out random frankenstein stuff and put them together for this story. 

I can't claim credit for that pun lol. I actually found it in a kiddies' joke book a long long time ago.

'What's worse than raining cats and dogs?'
'Hailing taxis.'

Ah, I think I might have explained the 'statues of togas' thing to you already? Anyway, let me clarify again! It's DEFINITELY a statue of a pile of cloth. I mean, MODERN ART. You remember? ;) Gah, these people are so wealthy they can even make statues for their togas I dunno. :P

MacGyver Malfoy may appear in this very story, you never know!

The James! Carries a kitchen sink with him wherever he goes. And Bertie Bott's is now a massive food production company in the wizarding world. You know, I've always preferred pita bread to jellybeans. I'm glad they decided to expand.

WHKAJSLJKLA KRISTIN thank you &hearts; &hearts; Honestly, just reading your reactions to this fic is such a giant reward. I look forward to writing the next chapter of this. &hearts; I LOVE YOU SO MUCH &hearts; &hearts;

-teh

omfg teh you're killing me here. my nonexistent cat is probably wondering why i'm clutching my stomach and wheezing.

IT'S LAUGHTER, MAN. NOT ASTHMA. LAUGHTER.

there should seriously be a law against beautiful writing like this and OMG NORA WAS FILCH LIKE WAT

i'm sorry. let me speak clearly.

Teh, I could take your writing with my tea. How is it that you manage to write so descriptively yet so in the now? *shakes poor you through the computer screen* How, woman, how?

To know the fog, you must be the fog: i heart James. He's just so special. Who actually keeps turnips in their trenchcoat? 

and how could I even compute Albus the bodybuilder? Like, what is it with you and your characters, teh? I'm starting to feel like you stick a bunch of cards with random words on them in a hat and pick a few out for each character, all like "hmm, so Albus= Calvin Klein briefs and bodybuilding, why not." Because if that's your secret, it's a darn good one.

OK, so Jo is gonna die, or not? I mean, the cards aren't exactly in her favor (which you so subtly pointed out with James ;) but YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT TO JO, TEH! PLEASE DON'T!

anyways. i wub you and your writing, and as soon as i finish typing this i'm gonna friend you on the forums so it's easier for me to stalk your writing. well, it won't be easier, but I just wub yoo  so. A total "goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus" in a totally teh (that means awesome in my book) way.

MEENA YOU AMAZING PERSON HOW DO I RESPOND TO THIS

Like, thank you!! Thank you so much for coming back and leaving your crackpot comments and how you'd like to have my writing for tea and whatnot PLEASE, HELP YOURSELF.

You know, my writing might make you develop asthma if you're not careful. o.O

And yeah, omg Nora is like Filch what what what

On hindsight, I should've done something more outrageous, like made her the reincarnated half-soul of Dumbledore or something. :P

This is descriptive? Thank you! I'm flattered you think that this is descriptive and yet feels so 'in the now'. 

The James. The Fog. The Void. What else?

ALBUS THE BODYBUILDER. Sir Loinsteak, I dub him. How do I give my characters such wacky characteristics? I think you're very close to figuring out my methods, but they're not that complicated. I just pluck random ideas and images out of my head and put them together, giving no thought to how incompatible they are with each other, or with the Potterverse.

There are dimensions beyond us, my friend. And like another reviewer said, other dimensions is where it's all happening!

Is Jo going to die? That is indeed a good question. You will know that Jo has died when the story suddenly stops and never continues. It means a grand piano crushed the life out of the poor girl. Or avian flu or something.

*hugs*

MEENA YOU'RE THE BEST!  &hearts; &hearts;

THANK YOOUUU.

REVIEW TAG!

Hahahahahaha! I've been having a pretty horrible day, and this has just made it a bajillion times better! I don't read crackfics, but you're such a wonderful writer, so I was like, it can't be that bad, and I was right! I'm having so much fun!

The craziness of your characters just adds to the charm of this story. There's no way that these people could ever really exist, but that's okay because as Nora knows, other dimensions is where it's at - or at least half of one's soul is at, as the case may be.

I'm looking forward to seeing just what this year has in store for poor Jo. I hope she doesn't die in the next chapter. That would be very not nice :(

Lovely beginning so far!

Author Response

Oh haaayy. :)

I'm glad I made your crapfest of a day better. :D

You're absolutely right; there's no way these characters are real, but that's why we have other dimensions. And Jo has A LOT to deal with this year. She might die in the next chapter. Or she might not. BUT DEATH IS INEVITABLE, RIGHT?

Thank you!

-teh

Yay!!! I'm so glad you are continuing with this AMAZING story!

I loved so many things in this chapter! The unexpected directions of the sexual tension, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Pita Bread, all the stuff that comes out of The James' pockets, the fact that Jo calls him The James!

And I'm really stoked on how you're developing all these weird little threads. Like how Nora was Filch in her past life! Or the assassin from another dimension!

It's all brilliant! I can't wait for another chapter!

Glad to see you here for the latest chapter! THANK YOU for your lovely review. Gah, I enjoyed writing this chapterrr, and I'm so flattered and amused that you think this story is amazing? Hahaha! &hearts;

Life is like a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Pita Bread. You never know what you're gonna get! :P 

I'm surprised myself that I chose to develop these weird strands of story. I thought the whole thing would inevitably end up to be cluttered with random dead-end details. But they're continuing, it seems. Nora is/was Filch. Oh dear. :P

Thank you, mydear! I can't say when the next chapter will be up...but I'll try not to take too long. :D

-teh

<i>teh</i>

this is actually too amazing for words

okay just a teeny tiny review because i am skipping off to read the next chapter immediately! i can't believe it's taken me this long to read this - i've had it open on my computer for several weeks and never found a moment to read, but now i am here and i am never leaving this story, okay?

geez, i seriously thought i was gonna pee myself laughing at several parts of this. dry absurdity is my alltime absolute favourite kind of humour, and of course you pull it off perfectly, you stupidly talented author you. wow, i wish i could write humour like this.

i loved the nods to canon characters throughout it! the 'creevey' at the end was so hard hitting, it was insane. and!!! padma and lavender's daughter!!! i mean she would be fab already if she was just another OC, but the fact that she's /padma and lavender's daughter/ is just... it's beyond perfect. you made me ship those two so hard i will never recover from it tbh.

okay i'm heading onto the next chappie now!!

Gah, thank you for stopping by!! AND reading this completely daft fic of mine AND leaving such a lovely surprise review! I don't care how long it takes anybody to read my stories, I'm just so happy that my writing is being read at all! THANK YOU!

I am fairly sure that you'd be a brilliant humour writer if you ever give the genre a try! You're an absolutely fabulous writer! &hearts; 

And yay for Padma and Lavender's daughter! I'm quite surprised at how excited some reviewers (including you) are about this. Now I really want to write Padma and Lavender again. Hmmm, maybe...the plunnies are beginning to form...

Ah, thank you so much, Maia! I hope you enjoy the next chapter! :)

HIYA. First of all, thank you for coming to my rescue. Maybe you're aware, maybe you aren't, that I sent up a bat signal of PLEASE COME REVIEW MY STORY DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG??? And lo and behold, there's a lovely new review in my inbox.

The one good thing about not reading any HPFF in ages is that when I come back, I have so many new shiny stories of yours to pick through. You know I salivate, covet and borderline cult-worship your writing, but this! So new, so different from what I've read! I love your angst stories but guess what, miss lady, you are also SO GOOD at humor. This has all the silly little oddities of JKR's writing--the bricks spitting black tar, the Engorgio'd lawn mowers, the decree that nobody is allowed to birth a child in the Close. But there's still your signature kind of dark tone...

Basically, I am in love.

PATIL-BROWN. She's the adopted... oh my... I... *heavy breathing* this is the best idea in the world.  And it's even better because it kind of follows along "A Lightness," which was amazing.

And here we see where your challenge prompt comes into play.  Wow!  Just wow.  You remind me a bit of Douglas Adams there, especially this line: <i>That’s Nora: a spliced-soul Inter-Dimensionalist Politician and Multi-Tasker Extraordinaire. And a terrible cook.</i>  I love it!

So the Prophet has REALLY gone downhill.  I can clearly see those headlines, and the kind of publication it's become.  *cough* Royal Wedding *cough*

I love the description of the apartment--as disgusting as it is!  Flushing the cake down the toilet was a nice touch.  I know it's a bit weird but we get such a good glimpse into Johanna's character just by that one action.  But why would she make any attempt at taking care of herself, if she knows she's going to die when she's 27?  In fact, this whole chapter has a cohesive theme to it, in terms of grubby imagery--the mound of cake, the flat, the bar, the clowns.  It all ties in together so wonderfully, and I can see the Close so clearly.

Your characterization of James is so unique, too.  A Seer?  I like that you've taken the "Hogwarts's most eligible bachelor" thing to the extreme--divorcing his third wife!  His ability to see into the future is definitely going to come into play, especially with Johanna's life.  And I love Nora sniffing indignantly, "Yeah, but I can see my past, sooo..."

Lastly, I applaud your characterization of these mercenaries.  They're not the "loose cannon, devil-may-care, angst-ridden, stoic" assassin-type we see so often.  You've taken some prevalent fic-tropes (which I'm guilty of loving) and made them really interesting!

Creevey!  Any relation to Colin?  And the clowns just go to sweeping him out the door.

Well I'm hooked.  This is amazing--I know all I do is gush over your writing, but it's wonderful, and I'm so glad I have a nice new HP fic to read!  Lovely work, as always.

AAAHHH OMG IT IS YOU!! HIHIHIHIHI

&hearts; 

Ooh, no, I don't think I saw your bat signal! But I saw that you'd updated your story, so I made a note to swing by and read...well, I'm quite late hahaha! And bah, I understand about the whole reviews thing. Reviews are pretty hard to come by, even if you do update regularly. Which is not me, by the way. :D

Wah, thanks for stopping by and leaving this lovely review! For this utterly ridiculous story. :P This is...well, this is...it's hard to explain how or why I even started writing this. Just to relieve stress I guess. And I must say I had far too much fun coming up with all the crap in this chapter. (The next chapter, if you do read it, is even stupider - just a warning).

AHHAHAH Nora Patil-Brown AHAHA. Some of the other reviews have flailed at her being Lavender and Padma's daughter, and I'm very flattered that she got such a reaction!! She's a bit strange, though. An Inter-Dimensionalist indeed. Well, Lavender wasn't exactly the sanest of people in the books hahaha. I've never read any Douglas Adams, but I heard he's good. So thank you!!

Ooh, love the way you analyse Joanna's shabby lifestyle and all. I'm glad you found some cohesiveness with the whole chapter - now that you put things way, it does read a little better. (I wrote these two chapters without any planning, and I shall continue to do so with the rest of this fic).

Oh, now I remember a little about starting this story! Your comment about the assassin-type tropes reminded me! This was originally going to be a serious story. Jo was going to be a hard-as-nails assassin girl etc. etc. I actually started writing part of the first chapter of THAT story. And ended up feeling pretty silly. I deleted everything. And wrote this instead. I'm not sure that this is much of an improvement! :P And James the Fortune Teller. I mean, he's usually a Quidditch star and everything. Why not make him a Divination genius (or fraud)?

Creevey is Dennis Creevey, because he's kind of a running gag in my stories. He always pops up randomly.

THANK YOU, Sarah!! &hearts; You're the best!! This was such a lovely surprise!!!


-teh

I don't even know how to properly review this chapter, because it's so silly and so brilliant. So I'm just going to point out things I liked. (Be prepared tfor a long list.)

The alliteration of everything in Carkett Close, including its residents like Alistair Apples who plays the vuvuzela in One Dimension. Thanks for pointing out the shocking lack of vuvuzela musicians in real life, it's quite a tragedy really.

Stone figurines that swallow the entire universe. And it's just casually referred to that they found out the hard way. I hope to hear the full story one day because it sounds exciting. Also, am I reading HP fanfic or an episode of Doctor Who?

Nora zaps into her princess dimension at the most inconvenient of times.

The potential zombie apocalypse, just because.

A mustard coloured submarine which is probably hotdog shaped, and smells like hot dogs and mustard. Hahaha I don't even know why that's as funny as it is, but it made me laugh. Also it must be a pretty strong smell if they can detect the mustard smell from the shore.

Lily-Lou, the Devil Incarnate, but <i>actually</i> the Devil Incarnate, not just an exaggeration.

Jo's full name! Joanna Anna Mannering - why would her parents do that to her? Hahaha.

Nora catches a pie with her face. The wording of this made me snort with laughter.

The entire clown/fire/vuvuzela/wishes scene. Just... what. I'm glad her most useless wish came true, although eek that's a lot of clowns.

Okay, so I've basically just summarized your whole chapter for you, which was probably unnecessary, but it's so enjoyable and every line is brilliant. This fic is so creative and so absurd and original and so maybe this means I have weird taste in fic, but I love it. Please keep writing this forever.

HELLOO! &hearts;

Ooh, thanks for this lovely surprise review! Lovely to see you again at this story which has escaped the loony bin for madcap stories that have lost their plots.

And now, here's me answering your list!

I adore alliteration! Expect more of this! Maybe even characters who only speak in words starting with the letter 'C'. Oh boy, that'll be a challenge. :P

About the stone figurines: I didn't even think twice when I was writing that. Maybe I just might write about what happened to those and how exactly Jo and co. learnt it 'the hard way'.

Gotchump-Altruists clearly have a different sense of time from inhabitants of This Dimension.

ZOMBIESSS!!!

That would be the yellow submarine from the octopus's garden. That being said, I'm not the hugest fan of The Beatles.

Lily-Lou as the Devil! TAKE ME LITERALLY. VERY LITERALLY.

The rest of your review is about clowns. Eep, I don't like clowns. Why must they paint their faces like that. I'm going to ignore them clowns. Even if this fic is officially Funky Clown Town.

THANK YOU, M'LOVE! &hearts;

I MAY JUST WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER SOON.

-teh

All of the praise in my previous review carries over into this one, but I will try my hardest to leave a bit of substance in this one as well.
 
You asked about your use of first person point of view and I think you've done an excellent job here. You're writing in present tense as well and I didn't notice any transgressions, which is incredibly difficult to get right in my experience. 

Also, I have to ask...are you a troper?! You seem to have a really complex knowledge of the conventions of humor and how to exploit them so if you don't frequent tvtropes I don't understand exactly how you do this. 

This is almost surrealist in a sense. That's definitely the first time I've said that about fan fiction, but it really is. Absurdist humor is my calling card when it comes to original fiction, so I really enjoy reading it in all of it's many forms. 

I loved your use of the context of a zombie apocalypse to describe the setting. I love the dancing spell. I love "Works like magic. Well, you know." 

- And here I am catching myself before I slip back into the pattern of my last review that I've sworn to avoid in favor of actual coherent observation.
 
Okay, summary said that Lily is the devil incarnate and I didn't blink twice but now she's harvesting souls at Hogwarts and I can't hold back a laugh at how naive I was to think that you wouldn't actually make her the devil, even after reading the first chapter. 

Your use of the brick joke with the whole birthday wish and One Dimension thing was hilarious. It's almost as if you take everything that I think you wouldn't/couldn't make a joke out of and bring it back at random like "Hey, remember this one off reference in the last chapter? Yeah, well it's going to make you laugh out loud right now in your living room and now you're going to have to explain what was so funny and then you'll spend half an hour explaining the nuances of Meta humor and creative writing in a pre-constructed world to your poor old confused mother."

Also, I just read your Author's Note and you are aware of tvtropes, I knew it! 

Anyway, this was great. I can't wait to read the next chapter. Thank you for the request, I hope my reviews made a tiny bit of sense.

Author Response

THIS REVIEW HAS MADE MY DAY. Absolutely!!

Just because you asked me if I'm a troper! Bahahaha!! I love TVTropes, but I don't frequent it often. Only because everytime I enter the site, I get sucked into this black hole and end up clicking link after link and reading and reading and I never resurface. People go on about how Tumblr is destroying them, but for me, it's TVTropes. So I try to keep my distance. BUT YEAH I LOVE THAT SITE. I love film and TV and pop culture. I love film and TV and pop culture deconstructed. I love their brand of humour.

I don't think I've ever had any of my writings described as 'surrealist' before! I thank you for this! :D I'm fond of Absurdist humour as well, sometimes!

And it's great to hear that the first person POV isn't jarring or stilted. I was quite worried about that; it's been a long time since I wrote anything longer than a oneshot in first person.

Lily is the Devil Incarnate!! Haha, you're the second reviewer to mention not taking the summary seriously and being surprised at Lily. I don't blame you, though. The summary is just plain ridiculous. Turns out that you /can/ put spoilers in your summary, as long as readers don't take you seriously. :P

Ah, I hope you made a cup of tea for your 'poor old confused mother' after sitting her down and attempting to explain to her "the nuances of meta humour and creative writing in a pre-constructed world".

And I adore running gags sometimes. So I may have a few in this fic!

Thank you so so much once again for both your amazing and flattering reviews! They've made my whole week, and of course they made sense! I shall try and finish the next chapter and post it up as soon as!

Hey, crestwood from the forums here for your requested review! 

I don't know what I was expecting after reading that introduction, but I know I wasn't nearly prepared for this. This was just so entertaining. This is the exact kind of story I was hoping I'd be requested for when I said I wanted something experimental. I think this review will soon evolve into a simple list of things I loved about this, I'm afraid. 

I suppose I should begin. The things I love about this chapter include, but are not limited to:

First, I loved how in depth you went into the various ways to get past The Wall and into the Close and then following all of that up with "or you can just Apparate in" 

I love that Carks have it *okay* in life and then abruptly die at 27. Even if you didn't purposely reference the 27 Club.

I love that dying by way of falling grand piano is called classic. I love the way Jo casuaully talks about these people's tragic, early deaths. I love the strange world you've crafted. I love the reveal of Jo's age. 

I love everything about Nora's backstory. You found a way to make a drunk old man who's a reincarnated princess even more outrageous than that sounds. I love that she splits time between dimensions more than I can find words to express. 
I love the telepathic mould and I love that it taunts Jo. I love that Clowns run the bar. I love that they have such hilarious alliterative names. I love the last line of this. 

This put the strangest questions in my head. Why does James Potter continue to marry these woman if he supposedly can see that their marriage will end in divorce? What if the Daily Prophet really DID mean that James Potter would literally be hitting the Three Broomsticks? Where did they get that kind of insider information? What are gender politics like in the kingdom of Gotchump-Altruissia? Are they fine with a princess in a leadership role or do they have the same problems with sexism we have here in this dimension? 

Those were all very legitimately questions that sprung to mind while I read this. I'm sorry that I'm making almost no sense at all but I'm not sure if it's possible to read this story and feel in the mood for leaving a normal review. I'm going to just favorite this and move on to the next chapter before I write another thousand words.

Author Response

Hey crestwood!

Wow, thank you SO MUCH for this amazingly detailed review! And the whole myriad of compliments that you left me! &hearts; I wasn't really going to request any reviews for this fic, but I happened to  be skulking around your review thread, in which you mentioned that you liked reading 'experimental' stories so I decided to drop in a request on a whim! Gah, I'm so glad I did!

And I LOVE that you've pointed out all the parts of the fic which you liked. I had waaay too much fun with this; I wrote it on impulse and without any planning. So, I currently have no idea which way this fic is going to go, and I only intend to find out as I write each chapter! :P 

Pretty much anything that crosses my mind while I'm writing is somehow incorporated into the narrative. And that is how we have clown bars and telepathic mould and the 27 Club curse and so on.

I'm so pleased that you like Nora's backstory and rather ridiculous existential situation, even though she isn't the main OC.

Ah, I love reading your questions! I'll probably be answering some of those questions of yours as this fic progresses. Be warned, though: I may not give you entirely serious answers. 

Your review made utter and complete sense. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR THIS, and for favouriting it aksjdlkajfls &hearts;

Whenever you want to update, dearie, whenever you want to update. As in NOW, please!

This is one of my favorite humor fics, right up there with etc. etc. (justonemorefic) and Here we go again (siobhan_malfoy). The times I laughed out loud while reading this... well, that number's up in the thousands.


STARTING FROM NOW, IT IS NOT OPPOSITE DAY
Now, I have something to tell you, something you've never ever heard before.
DON'T UPDATE SOON.

And, as usual, I'm THE WORST at reviewing. So, as usual, I figure a short n' sweet message to let the author know I read, and I loved, will have to be enough. Seriously, this whole thing felt like an LSD trip. Love it. (And this time I even bothered to log in before reviewing, go me!) See you among the reviews of the next chapter ;)

Author Response

Pahahaha, a very BAD LSD trip this is! Yay! Thank you for this lovely, sweet review! I'm so glad you came back to read! &hearts;

This story is so amazingly delightfully weird! I don't even know where to start: clowns jumping from hoops made of clowns, mood-changing robes corresponding to Luna's mood rather than Lizzy's--if I made an exhaustive list of everything I loved, I would bump up against the character limit just by listing quotes.

I guess in the broadest sense, I liked how this chapter really ran with the meta-pop-culture-and-fandoms stuff. TV Trope language, describing a location in terms of a zombie movie, all that. (Also, clever, because they end up taking polyjuice of corpses--kinda like zombies).

And if one quote summarized everything I loved about this chapter, it would be: "She smells of fruit salad and steaming cocoa and store-bought cotton and cough medicine. She also smells of tar and brimstone and eternal despair and sulphur, lots of sulphur."

And I know you SAID in the description that Lily was the devil incarnate--but I didn't think you were being literal. That. Was. Amazing. 

I can't wait for another installment!!!

Hello again, Roisin!

Oh goodness, at some point while I was writing, I just sort of jammed in as many details as possible...no matter how absurd. The first thing that comes to mind, and I'm writing that into the fic. And that is how we have things like clowns jumping through hoops made of more clowns and whatnot.

I'm really curious to see what effect this has on the readers, and so far your reviews have been so amazingly entertaining! :P

Yep, this fic occasionally slips into a meta conversation with pop culture because POP CULTURE is THE MATRIX. 

From your review, I learnt that it's totally OK to put spoilers in your summary, as long as readers don't take you seriously! :P Not too long ago, I saw someone had put in their summary, "So-and-so is literally the devil." I clicked on the fic and read a bit, and of course the character wasn't the literal devil.

The only way to read this clownfest of a story is to take everything literally. :P

Thank you so much, my dear! &hearts;

-teh

So this is pretty much the best thing I've read IN THE EVER. I really hope you continue adding chapters--it is so brilliant!

I don't actually know where to begin on this review, aside from general squeeing. How about the story summary? BEST STORY SUMMARY. You won at story summaries.

The language was really amazing--so frenetic and funny and psychadelic. Your knack for description that I loved so much in "Growth" is still here, but more pared down. It suits the comedy of the story really well. And the way you formatted (italics/bold) was a really nice touch. It's amazing to read something whimsical and unorthodox, but also REALLY well written. The story clearly doesn't take itself seriously, but much of the prose still shines!

I could honestly go through sentence by sentence and say something I loved about it. 

SO, since there is no value to this review aside from "!!!1!!111!", I will just say: please do finish this story!

Oh yeah: like one or two spelling or grammar thingies, but whatever.

*onelastsquee*

:O

alskdjlak THANK YOU for this amazing and totes unexpected review!! &hearts; This is such a lovely surprise! (I also just read your response to my review, and I had no idea that you'd read 'Growth'!! Aww, thank you!! I'm so pleased you liked it!)

And oh dear, oh dear, this story!!! Hahaha, it started off as a bit of a joke. I put up the first chapter with minimal editing, and I have no idea how this thing will turn out, actually! It's a plan-as-you-go kind of fic. For stress relief and whatnot. That being said, I'm pleased to announce that the second chapter's been in the queue for some days now! 

And I'm pretty stoked that you like the summary! It took me ages trying to get a summary that sounded nonsensical enough, but which would also not exceed the annoying character limit.

There's certainly much less description here than in 'Growth'. 'Growth' was incredibly difficult to write and balance out all that description, but this piece is all just 'anything-goes'. Your comments on my use of language was just a;lskd;lkasx squeeworthy THANK YOU.

No, not seriously at all! This story just /knows/ that it's a story.

I have no idea what or how the ending even looks like! But I'll do my best to get there somehow, by whatever strange and very out-of-this-world route I must take. :P

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR THIS!!!11!1

Omg... Teh, this is the most brilliant. I think I saw it appear in the recently added list a while back, but I didn't realise it was you! Ahh I just love everything about it. You had me at the line "drunk old man reincarnated as a princess."

So... My prediction: Jo is going to be (or secretly already is) a musician. Because they all die at 27.

<i>Lavender Brown and Padma Patil. There’s quite a story behind how they got together</i> -- YES THERE IS AND YOU WROTE IT AND IT'S BRILLIANT! Hah, I love the reference to A Lightness here. How meta. (Ps, so Lavender didn't die at the end of that! I always did wonder. :P )

Nora can see the past. What a unique ability. It's almost like she can tell when it's already raining. Sidenote, I love that James is a renowned fortune teller. And I loved your (not so) sly dig at sensationalised media with all the couple names (Jellie.. haha) and the headlines of the Daily Prophet. <i>ELDEST SON OF HARRY POTTER TO HIT THE THREE BROOMSTICKS ON AUGUST 31st. </i> -- just, pure gold.

One Dimension. God, this is hilarious. WHERE DID THIS FIC COME FROM?

TELEPATHIC MOULD. I REALLY JUST CAN'T WITH THIS STORY.

I sympathise with her about having to work on her birthday, though. Sidenote: What exactly IS her job? I think she has a lot of fancy words but no actual job. :P

<i>It used to be the Carkett Close Apothecary, but then the owner turned twenty-seven and got run over by the Knight Bus.</i> -- Aahaha. There is something so hilariously blunt in the way Jo narrates it and throws in the random tidbits about dying, it reminds me a little of Kurt Vonnegut. (and that's a huge compliment as I love Vonnegut)

The bar is owned by clowns. Of course. I'm learning to not be surprised by anything in this story because it's all so mad. All the clowns names had me laughing out loud. And the fact that anytime Sleazy speaks, he is accompanied by the adverb "sleazily." Hahaha

Lysander Scamander! Ooh, this is going to be good. I love him already, how he's wearing blindingly bright yellow robes. And look, there's DENNIS CREEVEY! I appreciated his cameo in here. I think he's been in like 95% of your fics. :D

Sorry this review degenerated into ASKJLDLFJKWH-ing, but I really have no words. This fic is completely brilliant and mad and I have no idea how it even ended up existing, but whatever you did, keep doing it. I'm favouriting this for sure. &hearts;

Kristin! &hearts;

You've discovered my *cough* not so secret story, which I've been trying to shove under the table and let nobody see. :P Bahaha, thanks for this awesome and lovely shouty review! Love it when reviewers hit capslock.

Teehee, I had this story floating about my brainspace for some time, and only when I signed up for that challenge did I sit down to write it and I did try to fit that weird and wacky prompt in.

Jo a musician? :O She doesn't sound particularly musically gifted to me. :P Look, she doesn't even like One Dimension, a band that almost everybody in the wizarding world loves!

THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF META IN THIS FIC. BECAUSE MORE META IS BETA.

TELEPATHIC MOULD? THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF EVOLUTION IN THIS FIC AS WELL. AND CREATIONISM. AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.

What is Jo's job indeed. The reason why she's being so obscure is because I hadn't decided while I was writing that chapter bahaha. Well, I've sort of decided now, I guess. This is a make-up-as-you-go sort of story. Planning-free! So I don't waste all my hours thinking of a coherent plot.

Ah, Vonnegut. So it goes, so it goes. :P

I have nothing to say about clowns. :P :P 

And that /is/ Dennis Creevey indeed! You can always rely on him to turn up in the most unlikeliest of places.

Yeah, lol, I don't know how this ended up existing either, I don't even know how I myself ended up existing, or why anything else has...wait, a minute,,. EXISTENTIAL CRISIS. 

You're favouriting this? Why would you do that?!?! You have a very...odd taste in fic.

THANK YOU KRISTIN &hearts; &hearts;

There aren't adequate words to describe how much I loved this chapter. Jo and Nora are fantastic and I adore stories that have one or both of the Scamanders in them, and Lizzy sounds just perfect.

Looking forward to the next chapter and hopefully meeting James (who sounds like quite the character) soon!

Hey there!

Aww, thank you for stopping by and reading and taking the time to leave such a lovely review! I'm awfully flattered to hear such a positive response for this story, which I started on a whim. And I'm glad you like the characters! Lorcan may pop up some time in the future.

I hope to get the next chapter up soon! I'm writing it. :) Thanks again, love.

Hullo, I'm in love with your story and all of it's characters. That was rather blunt, but I thought I'd put it all out there into the open. Joanna and Nora are both absolutely and positively entertaining. I like how different this story is. It has such a unique charm to it! My favorite quote was definitely this conversational gem:

-You mean that Anglo-Saxon burial mound?

-Yes, that was my inspiration for the cake. Here. 

I actually laughed out loud. Not even figuratively, but quite literally. Please update soon!
