Reviews for Harry Potter and the Irresponsible Shippers
minnie313 chapter 5 . 4/11/2016
Hello,

I only got as far as this chapter, and cannot force myself to read anymore... I did not like your fic so far.
Not really beacause you "parody" non-cannon fanfictions (although, you have to admit that Snape-Lily unrequited/puppy love is possible). I simply did not find it funny, maybe we don't share the same humour, maybe I simply find the different transitions and "plot twist" gratuitous, maybe your last drabbles are better constructed because you have more experience in writing things of this sort.
I also thought that maybe you should be careful of other people's sensibilities. I mean, a parody is certainly good, but I got the sentiment that you were rather mean about the way you presented the ships that did not find grace in your eyes. I am mostly an ADMM shipper myself, and read some very good parodies of that ship, that really made me laugh: I found them to be well constructed and very tongue in cheek ;) The tone in your drabbles (I repeat the ones I've read so far) was much more... incendiary? (I do not think that it is the right word, but bear with me), in any case, it is clear that some felt attacked really strongly about their ships (and the way you tried to answer ther flaming comment certainly was not the best).
I am not going to enter what I like to see in parodies, but I can tell you that repeating that a ship is gross and that one of the characters is gay (which was never mentioned verbatim in any of the books) is not the way to make a parody, it is more a non constructive attack (I am only telling you what I felt as a shipper of non canon couples).

Have a nice day/night,

minnie

This story is so awesome! Thank you for voicing the thoughts of us disgusted by some of these ships!

I was just calmly drinking my tea and then... This story. *spits all over computer screen* Amazing. Let the butt-hurts butt-hurt. This is hilarious.

This is probably the most creative and imaginative fanfic I have EVER read. It is the work of genius. I love it to bits, and even have a good laugh when my ships get mocked. It's so unfair you were deleted, and they clearly have no appreciation for talent. Keep up the good work!

While I ship three of these - Harry and Draco, Remus and Sirius, and Fred and George - I got a good laugh out of this story. It was so funny! I don't get why people get so angry! This is so hilarious, I was telling my friends about it! I never tell my friends about what fanfics I read! Way to go with this story!

There is nothing wrong with the majority of Fremione fanfictions (I'm writing one myself) but I agree with the majority : although I like Fremione, I don't like George and Hermione, Drarry is just wrong, as is twincest, and Harry and Hermione are like siblings.

Smart girls often do fall for the bad guys. They like the older men. It's often because the boys their age do not share their interests or intellect. For example, Ron, I always imagined they wouldn't be able to have very intelligent conversations. As someone who is above average in intelligence if I found no intelligence in my partner I would be bored. I'm 19 and have had a huge crush on Snape since a young age. It is because he is older, and more intelligent than most.

This had me cringing the whole chapter...it was terrifying but still really funny. I tried to read a snarry once just because it claimed to be funny it was just as horrific as yours. Snarry is something of nightmares.
person chapter 3 . 6/5/2012
Haha I laughed so hard! I love your snape. This is amazing. Thank you for doing this because there is only so many wieed pairings one can take.

I myself am an irresponsible shipper, but I did like this.
DeathlikeSilence chapter 19 . 10/23/2011
That was actually beautiful. I'm sad that it's over now. I loved gay Lucius, and Crookshanks/Buckbeak asking Hermione for her blessings. This line killed me: "If a poor deprived ginger kid bemoans his fate in the forest, and there's no one there to hear it, did he still never ask for any of this?" Thanks for the laughs; I will miss this fan fic dearly!

Well, nothing really stood out for me except the very first chapter and that was the ship I like shiping. The whole fanfic kind of got, overly repetitive, and none of the one-shots really stood out on their own. Also, as I've said before, I don't feel like anything could be learned from this.
Yemi Hikari chapter 5 . 10/6/2011
Don't get me wrong, I do plan on getting through all the chapters. However, I am finding the content to be dull compared to other parody pieces I've read. The humor isn't really coming across as overly funny either, and it doesn't feel like, if I were a badfic writer, that I could take something away from this having learned something.

Anyways, on the AU issue. I hold the best ones are the ones that break canon and fix it so it still works. That said, the people you are referring to try to use it as an excuse to do whatever you want to do. I've told numerous fanfic writers, just because you warn against something, doesn't mean people can't call you out for doing something wrong.
Yemi Hikari chapter 2 . 10/6/2011
I am not sure what to think about this one. I found the first one to be kind of funny, but this was just blah. It doesn't really feel to parody the fanfics I've seen either, at least not very well. Well, onto the next.
Yemi Hikari chapter 1 . 9/20/2011
I'll have to see if I have time to read through your whole fanfic later on, but I felt I would comment on the first chapter.

Me, one of my prefered ships happens to be Draco and Hermione, but that said, I know just how much character development is needed to make this pairing work. That said, I personally believe that less then one percent of the fanfics out there for this ship even try to do any sort of character development for the fanfic. Throwing the two characters together has always felt wrong, particularly when they need to become friends first. That's why I like the pairing though, the fact that it isn't a pairing that is easy to write.

I like the dry humor in your fanfic too, though I am not sure if you intended to have that kind of humor.

As for why your fanfic possibly got delted, could it have been the original title? I mean, the word "slasher" could have been mistaken for "slasher" from the horror films, rather the the "slasher" in the other forms.
