About dreams of the fear of being naked in public... I used to have those as a teen. I think many do. I stopped having them when I realized they could be the subconscious acting, representing the teens' "fear of fitting in"; that those types of dreams represent our fears of showing others our true self.
Once I stopped caring what others thought of me, I stopped having those type of dreams.

This makes me wonder, how could this play out in Harry Potter, a boy who's annoyed with the Wizarding world for NOT seeing the real Harry but the fictional Boy-who-lived.
The subconscious is a funny thing, what is shows is can be symbolic more than realistic representation of what we want.
Instead of having dreams of him being naked in public and desperately trying to hide the fact, could he have dreams of him WANTING to be naked, for the world to see the real him.
He could wake up embarrassed
1. for having a dream of stripping in the Great Hall.
2. dreaming of supposedly drawing attention.
3."Not even my dreams are normal!"

Nice!

Hi there! Love your stuff and appreciate your skillful writing, but you Did a Bad Thing and squicked me (and at least every musician) in the first paragraph here. Many authors do this, saying "crescendo" when they intend "climax." "Crescendo" is Italian for "growing"; it names the process, not its end.

The fic showed your usual inventiveness. The idea would indeed make for an interesting point of departure for a finally fed-up HP, though I must confess I'm glad that Katie didn't die in canon. Thanks for posting.

Also, have the contract-breaker surrender their magic to the contractor.

Yeah, I'm too much of a *camper* to ask the Orz the wrong question. (Star Control II reference!)

can you imagine what a robert baratheon would do if reborn as harry upon meeting anyone with silvery or golden hair?[lannister and targayen] more so if he meet neville? the guy would see him as a younger meeker ned and do anything too protect him

with the horcruxes you can just use dobby winky and kreacher each one has been near or was near someone that was near one dobby dairy kreacher locket winky possibly nagini and ring . or harry could start to delve into mental arts with house elf aid and ghost aid . or just become hogwart protect for true and get the ghosts on his side he learns of the diadem and is taught by the ghosts how to destroy it and them. this makes him remember the dairy he would feel an echo still around the ring and he would begin to realises his scar could be half of one.
or just have him go on the war path and use the horcrues properly each time tom dies he uses up a horcruxes untill the last one remaining is harry scar. but since harry between each return has killed tom followers and those who are on his side but not a marked one tom would have no one to help him.

In "Severe Sabotage", I think Harry's become your average HP fanfiction writer. All that's needed are magical cores, shrunken trunks, and the friendly, helpful Goblin Concierge Service.

For starters.

No wait, Shannon the Gamer is BRILLIANT. Even more so than Ned the Gamer. If he starts over from when he dies, he can restart his game knowing how much he screwed up. He gets quests but his major goal is to put his DAUGHTER on the throne to make up for burning her alive. He spends his entire game trying to be the best father ever but ends up conquering everything just to make sure she's safe, happy, and healthy. He even comes up with a cure for Greyscale and is forever remembered as the greatest king Westeros ever saw. Please, you have to make this.

OK, that could be interesting to read. One big question: What happened to the original 14 yo Harry? Was he switched with the one that came here, or was he sort of destroyed when the future one was pulled in from another dimension, or what?

Thanks,
Kevin

I love the ideas, and I'd love to see a fic of this latest chapter! Small correction, though - Azkaban has had two successful breakouts, not one. There's Sirius and Crouch Jr.

*lol*

Stannis the gamer sounds like awesome fun actually.

Okay, I really wish there was more of this one...

This is brilliant and hilarious, I love it.

Snape IS evil. He simply hates Voldemort more than he hates those who oppse him.
