URL: http://daisygrrl.com/quidditch/
Author: Anya (with a teeny bit by Karen)
Source: Harry Potter
Rating: 5.5/6 (and 2 bonus points)
Type: Alternate Universe (They have m-Mail)
Length: 10 Chapters (complete)

Have you ever considered the potential consequences of Magical Truth or Dare? It seems that Fred and George Weasley didn’t either. Because of them, the entire Gryffindor Quiddich team will have to play their next game naked.

This story is definitely funny. In fact, it’s the most hilarious thing I’ve read in ages. It loses grammar points for doing the first 8/10ths of it in the format of a batch of mMail (magical eMail) messages. (It’s easier to write since it’s similar to script format) but gains back for the quality of writing shown in the last two chapters, not to mention the skill shown in the decisions made for formatting and the fact that it takes proper advantage of the fact that it’s HTML and not just plain text.

It also gains points for taking the opportunity to show that just because a character is female doesn’t mean she has no interest in the bodies of the opposite sex. So many fanfics just ignore that fact or downplay it, especially comedic ones. It does get a bit out of character but it’s so fricken funny that I couldn’t care in the least.

This is how a fanfic should be. It gets you feeling something, uses the medium to it’s fullest, and brings you into the story.

Humor: 6/6
Grammar: 6/6
Overall: 5.5/6 (this is the closest I’ve ever come to 6/6 without re-reading.)
Bonuses:
* +1 for realism
* +1 for HTML-based beautification
