Faintest, Slimmest, Wildest Chance, an HP fic dealing with the aftermath of battle of Hogwarts that is everything I wanted.

Whew, googling that title sure was hard!

Re: What's something new you've discovered?

[tabaqui]

I had to read that comment twice to realize it *was* a title.
Thanks for the link.

Fuck you very much.
Good night!

I've no idea what else you could possibly think that was.

Re: What's something new you've discovered?

[(Anonymous)]

da

reading it fast it does read like "[I] had the faintest slimmest wildest chance of finding an HP fic where..."

I, too, was confused at first

Re: What's something new you've discovered?

[(Anonymous)]

No, adding two words that aren't there and ignoring the capitalized series of words - a standard for titles - makes it read like that.

Re: What's something new you've discovered?

[(Anonymous)]

Also, how the hell would that reading answer the question "what's something new you've discovered?"

Re: What's something new you've discovered?

[(Anonymous)]

NA
The commas made it difficult to parse as a title, at least for me.
One of those sentences where you have to really think about it to figure out what it's trying to say, basically. As opposed to glancing at it to get the gist, which is good enough for most comments.

I weep for the state of education.

I don't think it's the state of education, as such. More that the brain tends to take shortcuts, and sometimes those shortcuts have weird results.

The shortcuts cause this effect:

as well as the ambiguity required for this effect:

The title not appearing to be a title at first glance is just another result of the way the brain processes written language.

The way SOME brains process written language, maybe.

Re: What's something new you've discovered?

Sorry, I was on my phone, which is just never good for copying anything. The anon who gave a link was correct, though I'm not sure why they were being such a jerk about it.

Re: What's something new you've discovered?

[tabaqui]

No worries. I can't imagine doing anything like LJ/DW on my phone, it would drive me nuts. Texting is bad enough.

I'm not sure, either - it's kinda pointless. My brain didn't see your comment as the title, I have no idea why, so...*shrug*.

Re: What's something new you've discovered?

[(Anonymous)]

I really disliked the OC but other than that it was pretty ok

Re: What's something new you've discovered?

[iwasanartist]

That Amy character? Yeah, apparently she's some OC from a different story that author did, and pretty much nobody who's mentioned her in the comments I've seen for this so far has liked her.
