I just discovered [livejournal.com profile] pottersues. Here are some of the most 'precious' excerpts from the first page of entries:
  • A/N: "I always viewed Snape as the soft gentle man he played in Sense and Sensibility, so I wanted to write a romance with Snape being gentle, instead of wild and controlling like all the other stories.
    Um, I'm fairly sure Severus Snape wasn't listed in the credits of S&S

    "
  • She swallowed and stared at him, her eyes suddenly larger and childlike.

    “I saw another halfblood.” She answered, her voice beautiful even as it cracked.

    “Half-blood?” Draco inquired. “The wizard kind? How is that bad? What’s wrong with being a halfblood?”

    “Well,” Alice said, flipping her golden hair. “It’s a different kind.
    Why isn't my voice beautiful when it cracks? And how do you make your eyes more childlike?

  • I should probably tell you more about myself, I'm in my 5th year, and my house is Ravenclaw, the sorting hat had difficulty placing me, because I have characteristics of 3 houses:Slytherin because I usually get what I want, and have pureblood pride ,Ravenclaw, because I'm really intelligent, and have a thirst for Knowledge, and Gryffindor, Because I'm brave, I do not have an Inch of Hufflepuff in me at all (thank GOD for that), but in the end, the sorting hat decided to place me in Ravenclaw.

    I should tell you that I am the BEST MARY SUE OF ALL MARY SUES

  • HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK OF THAT! I’M PREGNANT WITH YOUR OWN CHILD AND ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS KILLING IT! I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU! YOUR JUST, RUDE! ALL I WANTED WAS A NORMAL SCHOOL LIFE! BUT NOOOOOOO! I HAVE TO GET PRGNANT IN MY 6TH YEAR, BECAUSE OF YOU! I HOPE, YOUR, HAPPY!


  • Oh dear. Suggesting an abortion is, I suppose, rude, but it's unlikely to make Cedric's unspecified possession happy.


Also, in one of my favourite entries, a French character called Jasmyne (BFF with Gabrielle Delacour and also, handily, Harry's long lost twin) is referred to several times as 'Asmyne'. I had no idea why until one of the commenters pointed out: She thinks that French people drop the first letter of a name, like Fleur did with 'Arry and 'Agrid. She doesn't get that we just pronounce it with a silent H. According to her logic, it'd be 'Umbledore, 'Raco, 'Edric, 'Ictor, 'Ita 'Keeter, 'Obby, etc.

She must wonder why Fleur never calls her husband Ill. Or his brothers: Harlie, Ercy, Red, Eorge, and On, not to mention his sister, Inny.

Oh dear, must remember to breathe in between the uncontrollable giggles.
