I picked this up from [livejournal.com profile] inamac's lj, and I really hope she doesn't mind, but I just have to say that although I'll never ever actually read the fic (it's HP), I am immensely cheered by...

the header to this fic...

...and as you know I'm really not a major-header kinda girl... (that sounds kinda kinky, but I'm not sure why... hmmn...) Anyway - just - yes for the warnings! If I ever write warnings for my fic, they will be like that! Only not nearly so good, cos that's fairly genius... *g*

I don't even ship Harry/Draco, nevermind read it (I'm a strict Sirius/Remus and/or James/Lily girl), but I've bookmarked that fic for as my virgin H/D-readng on the strength of the warnings alone. They're absolutely brilliant. Thanks for the head's up! *g*

Aren't they just unbelievably ace! I even caught myself thinking that maybe I would read the fic, if the warnings were anything to go by! *g* (And I still don't know the big spoiler-thingies to the books, cos I've not caught up with the last two yet, so... *g*)

I'm a quarter-way through the story (when I really ought to be reading about the current state of British family law ideology, and really, some people are such moralistic bigots, but moving on *g*), and I say it's definitely worth a read. The last two HP books weren't even that great anyway, and you can easily do the lazy thing and wikipedia up all the important story bits. Because the writing of that fic? Absolutely fabulous. Calling it a comedy of manners doesn't even begin to describe its brilliance. *g*

Well, it might happen, although it's not so much that I'd worry about not understanding the story as I'd worry about being spoilered for the last two books!

It's worth a read, it's so very British and hilariously funny plus it is very, very well written. :-)

I saw you'd commented on the fic! If I have a spare moment today I'll take myself over again... *g*

What an awesome warnings list! I've bookmarked this fic for reading, based solely on those warnings.

Isn't it fab! Warnings as marketing ploy, fab... *g*

That's utterly brilliant. The warnings had me laughing out loud, thank you!

I usually have no interest in that pairing, though I have been known to read HP (what am I saying? I've been known to read practically anything!), but the warnings alone make me want to read it!

I have no interest in HP as a fandom whatsoever - but they're fabulous warnings! *vbg*
