Partially Kissed Hero: Difference between revisions

* [[Alternate Universe]]: And how. Starting with an Evil!Dumbledore and far more abusive Dursleys in the [[Backstory]].

* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: In the same chapter Ornstead has his lengthy rant about vampires, he posits that vampires are vulnerable to infection by decompositive bacteria and that 'antibiotics wouldn't help because the vampire has no metabolism and so drugs would have no effect'. In the real world, antibiotics inhibit the growth of bacteria regardless of whether said bacteria are cultured in a living medium or a nonliving one, as anybody who's done that lab experiment with the penicillin and the petri dish knows perfectly well.

* [[Author Appeal]]: All of the women are easily won over with really shiny things, immortality, eternal beauty and/or power. For all that they don't mind being forced into anything and happily accept Harry as their Dark-Er, I mean, ''[[Newspeak|Light Lord'']] and master.

** This seems to be a theme for PL. His earlier fic [[Chunin Exam Day]] had essentially the exact same things used for wooing women, just flip 'really shiny things' with 'really great massages, hand-made clothes, and really good food'. Come to think of it, at least those things are a bit more believable as reasons to fall in love.
