I agree with you on the Quidditch thing. but Harry
needs a medium of relaxation. Most auhthors use
Quidditch, you used smething else... walks with
Giny... sitting by the fire... in SoB there is
Hermione and their training, and the time at the
pool....
When's the next chapter coming out?

Getting a bit silly, here's a list of things I
refuse to include in
any story I write.
QUIDDITCH!! This is simple. Harry's learned he's got
a evil dark lord
out to kill him. Well gee, play quidditch or learn
to defend myself.
Tough choice eh? Seriously though, far too many
authors hit a
stumbling block so instead of advancing the story
they throw a
quidditch game into the story. Now that I've read
literally hundreds
of games I refuse put much of a reference to
quidditch in our stories.
Games are usually mentioned in a sentence or two.
Ickle - Seriously where the hell did this word come
from and do the
British really use it without realizing how silly
they sound? Ickle
Ronniekins, Ickle Harrykins, Ickle Albuskins,
Icklesmickle. I won't
use it.
Relationships you won't see. Any Teacher with a
student. Thats just
wrong. Personally I'd hook Snape up with a hungarian
horntail but my
wife likes him. I had to fight with her to go with
an evil snape for
this story. She doesn't see snape, she sees some
actor named alan
rickman... yawn!
And while I'm at it, here's a pet peeve you won't
see in our files
relating to SEX! Yes, thats right sex!
You can tell an author has no clue about sex when
(a) the girl loses
her virginity and experiences a massive orgasm on
her first time (This
is more a male teenage fantasy than a reality
although it can happen),
and (b) manages positions which would break the
bones on a
contortionist. First times are rarely pleasant even
when you have a
comfortable position let alone having Hermione or
Ginny performing a
double flip full gainer with a half twist to impale
herself on some guy.
Maybe there should be a law that says you should
have a little bit of
experience on the subject before you write about
sex?
Ok, I'm done blowing off steam, and going back to
writing again. :D
