Ah ha - I remember what I wanted to say.

I spent a little time last night, hunting down and trying to read a certain BNF in the Harry Potter fandom (you could say that she's one of the biggest).

Unfortunately, I found the writing to be so bad that I couldn't get past the first page on two different stories.

Thank goodness that I was introduced to Harry Potter by the wonderful lizbee. I honestly think that if I'd started with this BNF, I wouldn't have been able to get past these stories.

I just don't get the hype.

I have to admit that I have read most of her massively long epic, but it took me several tries to get past what must have been the first page of the first chapter, especially with the typo in the first line of the copy on schnoogle. By the time I got to the fourth chapter, though, I was hooked.

Not that I'm saying you *should* try again, actually. This was supposed to be more of a statement of support for not getting past the first chapter. I was just massively bored one day and decided to read past that anyway... try to figure out why everyone was saying such good things about it.

Um, hi. Yes. Occasionally I feel inspired to pop in with my two cents.r
