Harry Potter Tropes my favorites and not-so-favorites

Mar 27, 2017 17:44

I'm still a major Harry Potter fanfic fan and with it comes the tropes:

Favorites:
1. Slytherin!Harry (just don't make it an automatic Draco/Harry there are many more students in Harry's year)
2. Mpreg (only if its well done and, believe me, there aren't that many)
3. Severus!Lives (okay this is a major weakness of mine and I'd love to see more ( Read more... )

tropes, harry potter

I usually list my stores as OOC. Especially if the are AU. though, I will admit I have been tempted to write a crack Snarry, where Snape gets high and skips through the school grounds, with Harry trying to talk him into coming back inside. (My mind is a scary place.) He would be OOC... or would he?

Crack is fun but... lillian78 March 28 2017, 05:30:10 UTC

I don't have a problem with crack at all because, by definition, its running off the rails and can be quite fun. Reading Snape fics where you can see the author seriously making the choice to alter Snape's surly/brilliant/grudge holding personality to make him almost completely unrecognizable is a huge turnoff for me. He was one of the major reasons I read the whole series (besides the fact I love fantasy) And last but not least (through my own experience writing years ago) I have learned that calling him "Sev" in any fic is a bad choice anywhere, anytime. The highly private man, as written, just does not fit that moniker.
