Harry Potter & the Heir of Ancients

— Matt Harris @ 8:29 pm

Fic Title: Harry Potter & the Heir of Ancients
Author: anon2
Links: Harry Potter & the Heir of Ancients On Fanfiction.Net
Content: PG-13
Status: Work in progress
Rating: P – Poor

The first thing I notice about any fanfic is the language. Nothing turns me off a fic faster than poor grammar and spelling. Examples: Using “looser” for “loser”, “they’re” instead of “their” (and vice versa), “then” as opposed to “than”, etc. Harry Potter & the Heir of the Ancients doesn’t have any sort of problem like that – it is very well written from the viewpoint of grammar and spelling. It is certainly better written than any of my posts on this site. I still have major problems with this fic, though.

The chief problem I have with Harry Potter & the Heir of the Ancients is the plot. In my humble opinion, the fic is a Mary Sue, with Harry as the perfect character…a “Harry” Sue, if you will.

Just some examples of things that I disliked (spoilers ahead):

The only reason I didn’t rate Harry Potter & the Heir of the Ancients as a T (Terrible) is because it is so well written from a grammar and spelling viewpoint. I am rating it as P (Poor) and do not recommend reading it.
