Summary:
Dear Reader,
In fact, the horrendous things in this collection are too numerous to name. I wouldn't think of mentioning such things as an evil wizard, birthday presents, ghosts, an owl, or a spider-filled closet.
With all due respect,
P.S. This chapters in this collection may be read in any order you please. Although, it would probably please you more if you did not read them at all.
i love this story--you are so good at lemony snickett's style. If he wrote HP, this is exactly what it would be like. Great job! :-)

that was really good! i loved it, but the ending was so sad! even though i usually don't like reading H/G fics where harry or ginny or both die, this one was very well-written (and songfics are awesome :-) yay!) good job!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I\'m glad that I\'m able to make an exception to you\'re anti-Harry/GInny death thing. I normally am too, but I think I was feeling emo or something when I came up with the idea :]

******Higher rating just to be safe.
i love this story! this was a really good chapter; I liked the flashback to the final battle.
just a note, Ginny is short for Ginevra, not Virginia. I wasn't sure if you did that on purpose or not :-P
Author's Response: That was done on purpose. I do know that Ginny\'s real name is Ginevra, but Miriam Nosebury does not know that.

*Quote from The Epilogue*
Suddenly Harry was kissing her as if he couldn’t resist the temptation. There was a kind of frenzy to the kiss at first, a kind of desperate need, but it melted into something soft and sweet and gentle, a promise of a future when kisses would never be limited. When they broke apart he rested his forehead on hers, sprinkling a few affectionate butterfly kisses across her face. “I love you,” he murmured.
omg i love this story. great job!
oh my gosh, the muggleborn camp is really actually frightening, but a good way to show what the wizarding world was coming to at that point. sort of like the ghettos in nazi germany *shudders*
once again, great job! can't wait for the next chapter!
~Lizey
Author's Response: Yes, that is actually where the idea of the mudblood camps stemmed. I\'m glad you liked it nonetheless, thanks for the review!

Something You'll Never Have by CantLetItGo
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 26]
Summary: One-shot
What did Ron do after reading Percy's letter in OotP? Why, he wrote back, of course...
My first shot at writing Ron, a little angst-y and a teeny bit of Ron/Hermione. Please R&R!
awesome job! I really like this; Ron's voice is really well-written. I love the letter. definitely something Percy needed to be taught. once again, great job.
~Lizey
Author's Response: Thankyou very much! I think we all wanted Percy to be taught a lesson here...thanks for your review!
How Predictable! by HPwizzzard
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 127]
Summary: The Marauders are having their first Divination lesson, and they quickly realize what a waste of time it is. In order to liven things up, Siriusmakes a few predictions without the aid of tea leaves. Obviously, he's no Seer, because there's no way James and Lily will ever get married, Peter will become an evil minion, or Remus will fall for Sirius' baby cousin... right?
You did a great job with this--it was really funny, in an ironic, black-humor kind of way. I love the part about Sirius's old girlfriends--hilarious :-)
~Lizey
Author's Response: Thank you! I love to be told I\'ve done a great job. Yeah, it\'s BLACK humour (pun very much intended). I did enjoy the old girlfriends- obviously no one would break up with the Great Sirius Black, he was always the one to end it, and the poor girls never got over him.
Voldy's Deathpants by Deathpants, Mind_Over_Matter, wendelin the wierd, cmwinters, Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 53]
Summary: The Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters are locked in battle over a highly important magical artifact known to most as Voldy's Deathpants, in bold letters like that. However, they go about battle in a, er, highly unusual way-- a Quidditch match!
Probably the silliest thing that's ever appeared on this site, featuring highly OOC behaviour.
Deathpants is a team of writers consisting of Mind_Over_Matter, cmwinters, wendelin the wierd, and Schmerg_The_Impaler. Our story was written in Round Robin format. This (and our deranged minds) explains its randomness. Enjoy!
The insanity of the Deathpants has gotten to the mods! This ridiculous story WON the 2008 Quicksilver Quill Award for Best Humour Story!
this is definitely the most bizarre story I've ever read
don't worry, it's a compliment :-D
I was laughing so hard....
"What happened next was as bad as a really bad thing. In a manner suspiciously reminiscent of The Incredible Hulk, the two men suddenly ripped their shirts off and turned into bizarre giant-Mexican-hairless-werethingies as seen in the film version of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.""
hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!
and I loved general uproar and the quidditch rulebooks...one thing I noticed though:
But… the Order can’t win!” gulped Voldemort. “My — poor Deathpants…”
deathpants isn't bolded *gasp*
anyway, great job. :-D
~Lizey
Author's Response: Thanks! I always take \'bizarre\' as a compliment. General Uproar is very fun, and the Quidditch Rulebooks are courtesy of Mind_Over_Matter. (When I read the first Quidditch Rulebook passage, I laughed hysterically.) As for them ,erm, weird werewolves... well, I\'m guilty of writing that passage, but I think it was cmwinters\'s idea... correct me if I\'m wrong, fellow Deathpants members.
Cheers!
--Schmergo (Schmerg_The_Impaler)
Author's Response:
Mind_Over_Matter : *Mind is a little boggled* I think so... but you are most certainly the one who made them movie-werethingos. Ended up working out well, plot-wise. *Sentimental giggle*
And oh, gosh, that\'s no good. I mean, Voldemort would absolutely never disrespect his darling Deathpants...
Spell Checker by MollyCoddles
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 32]
Summary: After the war, Snape is on sabbatical and Remus is filling in for DADA. Wading through scrolls of assignments, he begins to suspect one particular essay is wifely mischief managed.
great job!
it was hysterical...i love all of Lupin's corrections on the paper. :-D
Author's Response: I\'m glad you found it funny! I admire teachers, I really do. I just wouldn\'t have enough red ink!
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Gin_Drinka
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 37]
Summary: “You sing to me every night that heaven is somewhere over the rainbow. Granddad told me today, when I asked him, that heaven is after the stars. Everybody tells me that’s where my father is and…I miss him. I wish I could be with him. And if that means being a million light years away from earth, then that’s how far I want to be.”
Harry's family is missing him. A heart-wrenching conversation between Ginny and her fatherless daughter.
Nominated for a Quicksilver Quill for Best Dark/Angst. Thank you!
wow. I really loved this; it made me cry. The part about Lily having to be strong for Ginny is so sad, but so perfect. you definitely did a wonderful job showing all of the emotions here. just excellent :-)
One question: i know it isn't really important to the meaning of the story, but I'm curious, as I always am. how did Harry die?
anyway, I loved it! great job!!
~Lizey
Author's Response: Well, I guess he died in the war. I thought of including that, but then thought better. I wanted to focus on the ones he left behind. Well, thanks you\'re review made me smile real big! Sorry I made you cry.
The Bedroom at the Burrow by Pondering
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 21]
Summary: Fred thought that death would be more exciting than an uncluttered bedroom.
First Place in The Next Great Adventure prompt in the Autumn Challenge of 2007!
Let me start off by saying I loved this. It was sweet and sad and funny all at the same time. I think it was very appropriate that Fred and George tackled the afterlife together. It seemed so unnatural that Fred died while his twin went on living, and I think your fic captured and addressed that very nicely.
I liked how you portrayed Fred's life after death...or, well, his time waiting for George. I thought it was interesting how normal the entire situation was for him, and how he discovered more about the end of his life and why he was there as the story continued. I loved the entire "you have to let me into your heart" aspect of the piece; very well done =]
Great job! Good luck in the challenge!
Author's Response: I think that after you realise you\'re dead, you don\'t really expect things to feel normal anymore. :) I\'m glad you liked the story. :)
Consequences by helgaandgodric
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 11]
Summary: In my version of the DH epilogue, set 19 years later. Harry has pushed his family away to protect them from the consequences of his actions. But what will happen when the consequences are different then he thought they would be?
IWhile DH is not excluded, the last chapter is. This also happens to be a part of the Ellie Vicky and Ellie Cathy series, although it is not vital to read "A Potter and a Malfoy."
Overall, this was a very interesting one-shot. The plotline was well done and intriguing: the idea of Harry pushing his family away so they wouldn't be hurt by his actions is a very Harry-ish thing to do, and I think you captured that aspect of his character very well. I also enjoyed the incorporation of the interview and letter into the fic--it made for a nice variety of voice and tone, which is always good to see, especially in such a short piece.
Now, a few criticisms. There were certain events that seemed rather abrupt, like Ginny telling Harry she was leaving him and Harry confessing he killed Malfoy. Since we didn't really get a glimpse of what Harry and Ginny's marriage was like beforehand, Ginny leaving with the children seemed like a rather out-of-the-blue event to me. Harry saying he killed Malfoy had the same sort of effect on me--it was surprisingly sudden.
I know the challenge called for a one-shot, so you obviously couldn't say *everything* here. I do think that the parts I mentioned above could use a little more development, however.
Overall, though, good job! I wish you the best of luck in the challenge =]
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I didn\'t want to go into a lot of detail, because I was trying to mimic Jo\'s style, and she leaves a lot of holes open for interpretation. The actual epilogue just goes straight from the final battle and such to 19 years later. If you want some hints of what happened afterwards, the other fic in the Ellie Vicky and Ellie Cathy series is \"A Potter and a Malfoy.\"

Voldemort: The Psycho Dark Lord of Hogsmeade (Sweeney Todd Gone Potter) by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 41]
Summary: The final installment of my set of Broadway musical spoofs about Voldemort's life!
This is Stephen Sondheim's brilliant musical, Sweeney Todd, but drastically warped and twisted by me. If you ever wanted to hear a song where Voldemort tries to encourage Fenrir to eat various Potterverse characters, this is the fic for you.
My other two spoofs about Voldemort, those of Les Miserables and Wicked, can be found on my profile. I've also got spoofs of Phantom of the Opera, High School Musical, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Enjoy!
AHH I loved this!! While I've never actually seen Sweeney Todd on Broadway, I liked the movie (except for the fact that nobody could *really* sing except Toby) and I luuurve the OBC recording. Anyway, your lyrics fit soo well...I'm majorly impressed; Sondheim is HARD, dude. But I love Sondheim =D
Anyway, I was cracking up hysterically all through A Little Bill...I loved the Thicknesse joke. Bahaha.
Also, I was, for some reason, amused by the fact that Helena Bonham Carter played both Mrs. Lovett and Bellatrix in the movie versions...and I noticed how perfectly By The Sea fits both characters =]
Anywho, major props for writing this. I'm pretty lousy with lyrics, but you do them really well!
Hairspray sounds really entertaining, by the way. You should do a RENT spoof (I tried to do this and failed. Miserably. I did come out with a Potterized version of La Vie Boheme that I sent to the Song Parodies section of Mugglenet...but it either hasn't been added yet/wasn't accepted) Anyway, it is kind of...erm...inappropriate. The movie--well--I don't like the movie very much, but it's more appropriate than the musical. The lyrics to 'La Vie Boheme' are about as bad as they get. In the stage production...well, look up the lyrics to Contact and keep in mind that it's staged rather vividly =P
Anyway, all digressions aside, this was an awesome spoof! Great job!! *goes off to listen to Sweeney Todd*
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I've never seen Sweeney on Broadway either (I've seen the video version of the old stage production and I have the OBC, and I DESPERATELY want the revival soundtrack, which has a female Pirelli and only nine or ten cast members total and very minimalistic staging and orchestration), but I've always really loved the show. I always thought it was too obscure to spoof, but then the film came out, and I said, "Well, I'll go for it!"
I actually really like Johnny Depp's voice. Call it a crime, but I think it's better-suited to the role of Sweeney than most trained singers, because he captures the intensity without going into overblown emotion. I feel like George Hearn (who most people see as THE Sweeney) used so much vibrato and vocal stylings that it was like he was saying "LISTEN TO ME! LISTEN TO MY VOICE!" instead of "Listen to what I'm saying and what my character is feeling." But yeah, that's just me!
Thanks so much for the -- Sondheim IS hard to spoof. So many internal rhymes! Amazingly, though, the "Wicked" spoof was actually harder to write than this one. Stephen Schwartz has some pretty complex rhyme schemes, too! "A Little Bill' was my favourite song of the bunch to write, because it was so stinkin' hard but I ended up liking the way it turned out. And yes, I HAD to make Bellatrix sing "By The Sea" after I saw this hilarious picture of Bellatrix and Voldemort on the beach posed like that one shot from the Sweeney Todd film!
You know, I've never seen Rent. I own a Rent t-shirt (my cousin bought it for me), but I don't know any of the songs except 'Seasons of Love,' and I don't know almost anything about the show. I do know that I'm not allowed to see the film (though I've never seen it, I can't imagine it can be any less appropriate than "Les Miserables," which has a whole song about prostitutes and a major character who is one) and that Idina Menzel's in it, but that's really all I know.
