Re: Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
(Anonymous) 2015-02-28 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)TL;DR: The readers have 60 hours to come up with a way to save Harry's life, or the story will get a "shorter and sadder ending". Again, I'm sure the writer has actually already written out the ending and this is just teasing the readers, but I'm annoyed on principle. I've read a few novels worth of this trainwreck (although it does have many things I genuinely enjoy, but also enough of other things that stop me from reccing it to others), just give me closure.

Too bad. I was expecting too much from his fanbase, I'm afraid.
Re: Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
TLDR summary
(Anonymous) 2015-02-28 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)-Hermione died (crushed by a troll or something? idk)
-Voldemort was fucking around with Harry as Cloak-and-dagger, mind-controlling and mind-wiping various students and even professor Sprout; he tried to seduce Hermione to the dark side and/or kill and/or manipulated her but she refused so he obliviated her and carried on with his plans anyway
-Immediately as Hermione died, Trelawney made a prophecy that Harry would end the world
-Voldemort reveals himself to Harry. He's possessing Quirrel.
-Harry himself is a new type of horcrux (of which Voldemort made over a hundred before he lost count) that doesn't chip away or weaken Voldemort's sanity or strength, and he is pretty much a Tom Riddle with only subconscious access to his old memories.
-Voldemort stupidly tried to avoid the prophecy of Harry killing him, so making him a horcrux was an accident. It did not kill him, just made him hide
-The Halloween 1981 night happened because Voldemort's magic resonated with Harry-as-a-horcrux (same reason it did that wonky thing on Azkaban when they rescue Bellatrix) so he is wary of Harry, if otherwise confident in his own immortality
-"Voldemort" is a persona Tom Riddle invented, along with some other random wizard, to "play" at conquering the world. He plays up the "villain" traits as Voldemort. He's much more intelligent and calculating.
-He tried being a good guy, but he's a genuine sociopath so it did nothing for him
-Oh, and you can't lie in Parseltongue because of something Salazar Slytherin did? or something idk
-OH, and Harry decided to revive Hermione.
-Voldemort forced Harry to help him get to the place where Dumbledore hid the Philosopher's Stone by threatening to kill everyone in Hogwarts via a mysterious method (curse, poison, who knows!) he had activated earlier and only he can stop PLUS he promised to revive Hermione for Harry
-The Philosopher's stone actually makes transfigurations permanent, rather than the things they say it does, but to someone smart and powerful enough it can be the way to live eternally
-SADLY, Voldemort had already stolen the PHilosopher's stone, so Dumbledore's trap with the mirror (it was played different, he was inside the mirror, ready to sacrifice himself to trap Voldemort) failed when he saw Harry was next to Voldemort. Dumbledore tried to reverse the spell but made himself disappear instead
-Voldemort brought Harry to a cemetery, and is reviving Hermione (she doesn't wake up yet), and even did magic to make her all but unkillable and made her a horcrux
-Voldemort summoned all the Death Eaters, made Harry make an elaborate Vow to not destroy the world, and now told all the Death Eaters to kill Harry in a very ridiculously long way to ensure that Harry cannot destroy the world
-Oh and he told the Death Eaters that in two days they'll rule Britain and kill all remaining opposition
FOR REAL, it seems like the only reason Voldemort revived Hermione was to make sure Harry really didn't try anything stupid until he was surrounded, and the only reason he didn't kill Harry until now was to make sure that the world wouldn't end until he put protections (the vow) in place against that
Now he promised Harry that he has 60 seconds to give him knew knowledge, and that for each bit of new knowledge Voldemort learns, he will spare one person Harry names and make sure they are honored in the new world as ruled by Voldemort, otherwise he will kill everyone Harry cares about
