My name is Nihil

My name is Nihil. Horace Nihil. Ah ah ! Of course not ! No, my name is not really Horace Nihil, sounds rather silly, isn't it ? Let's say it's my pen name. Well, mouse/keyboard would suit better. After all, if people can go as Abraxan, Musings of Apathy...

Spare Butterbeer Necklace

Spare Butterbeer Necklace is a nice WIP by Senda Rozalija. It starts with a Polyjuice accident, and then...just read. Side note : Robert Mc Namara died today. No judgement on the guy, just a remainder of the news when I was a kid...(he was US Secretary...

Guardian

Guardian by Logicalmagic is a WIP (6 chapters so far) taking place after Harry's fourth year (a Post-OotP), in which Sirius acts more seriously (lame pun, I know...) than is usual careless self. In fact, he seems to reach for his Slytherin roots in order...

Once again !

“I am your father and my name is Godric Gryffindor.” mbwahahahaha ! (sorry) The story seems decent, by the way, but the cliffie at the end of the first chapter is a bit, well...unsurprising and made me snort a bit. (The Father, by Black-phoenix-Warrior)....

Their Way

« I have S.P.E.W. You could start your own group. We could call it the Society for the Promotion of... of... Equitable Reproductive Magic.” Hermione could no longer stop smiling. “Yeah, and I’m sure it would be very popular,” she continued. “Everyone...

three down...

After "Summer of the Serpent" and "The forgotten Girl", I reached a few minutes ago the end of the thrid installment of the series by Stéphanie Henry, "Twoards Tomorrow". It' really impressive, I'm not bored after three volumes, she manages to keep her...

The Riddle of Jim Lillian

Boy, this one is not recent. Quite old, even, and it's a wonder I never noticed it before in any favs. A pity, really : completed in october 2005, "The Riddle of Jim Lillian" by bobsaqqara is a 50K words story, obviously AU, untying the knots of a complicated...

Account settings to update.

I got this email today : Hello Horace, We at PotterShots.net Forum would like to wish you a happy birthday today! Duh ? Thanks a lot but my birthday is in june. I'm afraid I was a bit lazy the day I created this account. I guess there is a profile page...

Michael Crichton...

As the news might be buried deep in the bustle following Obama's election, let me outline the sad news of Michael Crichton's death. Thanks to the NYT Alerts ! Since I evoked Politics, a bittersweet remark I mailed to an american friend of mine, by chance...

KB

KB, for "Knowledge Base" ? This guy might be in Software Engineering to pick such a pen name : kbo on ff.net, _kb_ somewhere else...). It was recommended by Tumshie on his Yahoo! Group. A pleasant reading, for instance "Harry Potter: Rogue" is not bad...

One down, 51234 bajillion more idiots to go

Yet Another Betrayed!Azkaban (etc etc). Well, wrapped in a crackfic, where Harry and Ginny are sent to Azkaban. Full Nonsense, so I'll admit the pairing. "Harry Potter and the Obviously Parodied", by Katricia, an easy laugh, if you discard the typos and...

The Lord Of The Rings Syndrome

It's the third time I give a go at "The Paradigm of Incertainty". I can't. I don't know why, I can't manage to reach the end of the second chapter. I have not the slightest clue as to why.* Like with LotR. I never managed to reach the second chapter....

Crap...

A french channel is broadcasting PoA. French text, of course. It's awfull.Not only I find the translated vocabulary and names, whatever brilliant they can be (the translator did a tremendous job), annoying, but the voices of the trio are too juvenile....

“Prophesy” and “Metamorphamagus”

Hidy Hidy, I’ve been silent for a couple days, buried in “Harry Potter and the Acceptance of Fate”, a rather good epic story, unfortunately abandoned (not updated since 2004...). I was puzzled by a weird spelling, finding more and more occurrences of...

On the Way to Greatness

Ah. This is one of those "Harry Potter gets sorted in Slytherin and let's redo the whole stuff again". Well, in this area, "On the Way to Greatness" by Mira Myrth is rather interesting. Quickly moving, 11 chapters so far, starting fifth year, it pictures...

Horace News #3

Okay, I’ve been rather silent those past days, so I try to summarize a bit. I was quite busy, either for work or on my novel-to-be, so I had little time to update this blog. So, wassup ? Some readings to point. For instance, I enjoyed “Royal Prerogative”...

Hermione Granger and the Goblet of Fire

I found this story from Coulsdon Eagle on Portkey, as I was wandering around checking a plot bunny. It's a GoF alternative where, instead of Harry's name popping out of the Goblet of Fire, Hermione is selected as the fourth Triwizard champion. Why ? Because...

The Real Us

Today, I will praise the very good work from Seel'vor entitled “The Real Us”. A 150K word H/Hr full of delicious Weasley Bashing (only Arthur, Bill and Charlie are bearable), with a funny characterization of Snape. A story full of surprises, that sticks...

Horace News #1

I'm trying - not so hard, mind you - to straighten this blog a bit. I've been posting a few things depending on my inspiration, and I need to set some kind of editorial line. I'm supposed to talk about writing and reading, potterverse fanfiction, and...

About Fanfiction and train rides

I've quite finished reading Abraxan's Time of Destiny. He could have spared a couple hundred pages, Harry's last trips to the Hospital Wing could have easily been spared…well, nice stuff anyway, a Fanfic of epic proportions, as someone wrote somewhere…(602,367...

Redemption

Today, I’ll introduce you to « Redemption » by krtshadow. It’s an Harry-was-framed-to-Azkaban-and-comes-back-pissed plot, not too long (32 chapters, 100K words), no ships (loose RHr). Harry is not dark, just tremendously powerful, Black and Lupin find...

Mbwahahaha !

*sigh* Sorry about that. Let me quote : "And why are you referring to me as Lord Potter? Please. Just Harry will be fine.” Yet another independent-harry-comes-to-gringotts-after-fleing No4 -after-OotP-and-discovers-all-the-stuff manipulative-old-coot!Dumbles...
