#12Epub / mobi / PDF available from here, as well as better (IMHO) web formatting, author's notes, etc: http://hpmor.com/

You can get around it by disabling Javascript, but then all the text becomes annoyingly center-aligned.

One important thing, for those who find the main character insufferable at times: this is not a simple mary sue story.
When you notice Harry doing something dumb, oblivious, overconfident, condescending, etc. do not assume that this is the author's personality leaking through. It may be the intended reading.

#16Well done ! I started reading this - got around to 10 and stopped for a while - and totally forgot about it. It continued and - finally ! - finished. PS: Fellow readers, did it ever stop being awesome and/or become unpleasant from the perspective of the original plot ?
Can you clarify "from the perspective of the original plot"?

Absolutely. It makes a fair bit of fun of the original, but doesn't require that you've read it.
