Reposting from the latest HP:MoR discussion thread, since not everyone reads recent comments and I’m not sure this warrants a full post:
Fanfiction.net user Black Logician has announced Harry’s Game, a spinoff of HP:MoR which branches out around Chapter 65-67 of the original fic. From his post at the HP:MoR review board:
...Hermione has already formed SPHEW. Quirell though doesn’t dismantle Harry’s army, but goes for an alternative condition to make the army wars more of a challenge to Harry. …
Please use ROT13 for spoilers when discussing Harry’s Game.
The writing errors in this story are very distracting. I did not click past chapter 1. Is there something to recommend it so strongly that I should get over the bad grammar etc.?
I also found the spellign and grammer mistakes to be distracting. The story itself does not quite compare to Yudkowsky or Rowling’s work, but it’s quite witty and makes some good rationalist points.
It’s a lot more Ender’s Game like than MoR already was. The ideas are good to decent, the execution questionable and the writing poor (by fanfiction worth reading standards, decent by average fanfiction standards). I found it fairly enjoyable, but I mostly managed to tune out the quality of the writing.
I’d recommend it to anyone who loves MoR for the clever plots, and anyone who enjoys the clever plots and can get over bad writing.

I just can’t leave this alone.
Intentional!
If you can get someone to write you a fully-spoiling summary, that might be better.
I’d read one of those. Any volunteers?
