Can we start a new page on that infamous fanfic, Hogwarts School of Prayer and Miracles?

Also, come up with a drinking game.

I'm not familiar with this one. If I had to guess, I'd say it's something along the lines of "Harry renounces wizardry and becomes a born-again Christian". Any further details?

Oh God! Natural light!

[up]x4 There seem to be a handful of fanfics with that premise. Almost invariably written by people who've never read the books, of course.

... what is this i dont even

It seriously sounds like Harry Potter mercilessly twisted into a mockery of Chirstian faith. Or a potentially entertaining crossover with D&D.

I think of it as doing for fundamentalist Christian HP fics that My Immortal does for goth HP fics.

Harry propped his chin up on his hand and dreamily watched these magnificent postmen distribute their wares. He did so love to look at angels!

Glad you think the incomprehensible personifications of almighty terror are pretty, Harry.

Yeah, going by the Bible the general reaction to angels is either terror or awe and they try to dissuade you from the latter.

FWIW, the premise is, "Harry Potter retold without the danger of turning your kids into witches," or "Harry Potter retold as Christian Fiction."

There's some very valid speculation that it's a trollfic.

Harry is taken away from the secular Dursleys—here Uncle Vernon is a henpecked husband while Petunia wears the pants (the horror!)—to attend Hogwart's School of Prayer and Miracles, led by Reverend Albus Dumbledore and his wife, Minerva.

Meanwhile a threat rises on the horizon as Voldemort submits a bill to congress to make the practice and expression of Christianity illegal, in flagrant defiance of the First Amendment

...

Did I mention that this is now in America. Because this is now in America.

If you're curious and have the time, it's on fanfiction.net and is a *really* short read, despite being 12 chapters. It won't change your life, and it's pretty mediocre in quality, but I do think it could probably use a space here.

Finished at 14 chapters. Also, pretty much confirmed to be a troll fic.

That fic annoys me, but mostly because of the annoying, exasperating misuse of commas and the overused, overpresent adjectives given to every stinky, rotten noun.

So, a little more reading and... This is basically Rock Its Your Decision all over again.

It's not funny. It's sad. I'm sad that I share a planet with people like this.

I read that last chapter.

It was funny and I have only in the last five seconds stopped guffawing.

Then again the first time I ever saw Trainspotting at the cinema I was so drunk that I basically laughed the whole way through, especially when the baby started crawling over the ceiling, so my sense of humour is a tad suspect to say the least.

[up][up]Up to the fifth chapter.

The unnecessary commas make me unable to read it.

I can slog through poor grammar and redundant, boring and purple prose. I can punch my way through loads and loads of paragraphs in which nothing is happening.

But unnecessary commas in practically every single sentence? That's just too much.

Commas, you say... Now I'm afraid to read this fanfic. Since I tend to put extra commas as it is, after your words I became worried that reading something like that might skew my comma-sense even more.

... Maybe just the first and the last chapter would be okay?

I'm glad to see someone took my attempt at creating a page on TV Tropes and fleshed it out. This fanfic is notorious enough to deserve a page here. If you don't think you can read the whole thing, read the ending first, I'm told the writing gets better. (English is not my native language so I don't notice bad writing as much, I found it tolerable)

So if I may ask: how much of the percentage of HP fanfics do "Christian" HP fics make? I'm not a fan of the books per se (the long chapters were brutal on my short attention span), I'm just wondering cuz this seems to be the norm for Christians nowadays. and that's pretty sad.

The way it's written is a pretty obvious homage to My Immortal. I sat through the whole fic because I was almost totally sure it was a troll-fic but I really wanted to see where the author was going with it.

Without spoiling anything, even if a parody of a Christian whitewashing of Harry Potter makes you nauseous, the ending makes it all worth it.

All she ever wanted was to have her morning tea and watch soap operas.
