The Tough Guide to Harry Potter is a fanfiction by Rugi and Gwena. Like its namesake, it is styled like a comedic dictionary, outlining common tropes and turns of phrase in Harry Potter fanfiction. Written during the "Three-Year Summer" between the release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, it serves as an excellent reference to prevailing fandom plots, cliches and conventions during that time period. | |

Wicked Cultured: All Slytherins, good or evil, have had an extensive classical education in things like Latin and runes. This enables Enemy Mine plots in which Hermione must team up with Draco or Snape to decode a scroll/Find the Cure!/heal someone's coma. | |

Shipper on Deck | |
| Tough Guide to Harry Potter (Fanfic) / int_31da1e24 | comment |
Shipper on Deck: Dumbledore somehow finds the time to hook up lonely students and teachers, sometimes together. James and Lily in Marauders Era fics where they're already together will often feature them as the Beta Couple to the main ship who try to get them together. An already together Ron and Hermione in Canon Era fics will do the same thing, but specifically for Harry and Ginny, unless Ron hasn't gotten over his "Big Brotherly Overprotectiveness" of Ginny which makes him feel uncomfortable about letting even his best friend date her (mainly because of how dangerous Harry's life is). | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: The authors wryly note that many writers (or "tour guides") are American and make little attempt to have their characters speak in British dialects, with Ron usually being the token exception to this. | |

Author Tract | |
| Tough Guide to Harry Potter (Fanfic) / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
Author Tract: The authors attempt to be neutral, universal, and accessible in writing their guide, but it was written for the exclusively pro-Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny archive Sugarquill.net, which informs the tone of the Guide throughout: When positive depictions of Ron are headlined with the title "I AM THE RON FROM CANON, MY WONDERFULNESS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF", it's clear the authors of the Guide are somewhat partial to Ickle Ronniekins. Many extremely common pairings of the day, such as Harry/Hermione and Draco/Ginny, are given only cursory coverage, with the authors noting that they consulted outside sources for the ins and outs of the pairings. Only one slash pairing is covered in detail, and it is Remus/Sirius, which was endorsed by the editors of the Sugar Quill. (Granted, it was by far the most popular slash pairing in the fandom at the time.) Written in a time before anyone knew what the Order of the Phoenix even was, the authors are not shy about their distaste for the many trials and conferences involving the Order in some capacity that was common in "epic" fics of the time. | |

Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: Often the thing that renders Harry catatonic, when it's not an Angst Coma, will be whatever he ends up doing to defeat Voldemort, leaving him to be healed by the Power of Love or some kind of miraculous magical medical breakthrough concocted by Hermione and/or Snape in post-war fics. | |

The Chosen One | |
| Tough Guide to Harry Potter (Fanfic) / int_89631688 | comment |
The Chosen One: Bearing in mind that this is before Harry was explicitly made one in Book Five, Lily sometimes ended up becoming this through a prophecy about her being the woman fated to give birth to the "hero who will push back the darkness." This inevitably ended up with her getting kidnapped by Voldemort and possibly subjected to Attempted Rape in order to prevent this from happening in Marauders Era fics. | |

A Million Is a Statistic | |
| Tough Guide to Harry Potter (Fanfic) / int_dd082289 | comment |
A Million Is a Statistic: The entry on rape indicates that it's only important when it happens to main characters. When Lucius Malfoy's "Dark Revels" feature rape committed against numerous background characters, it "can be considered a sort of background noise or theme music to the main action of the plot. It sets an appropriately horrifying mood for dealing with death eaters and other such villains." | |

Self-Fanservice | |
| Tough Guide to Harry Potter (Fanfic) / int_e2f849d3 | comment |
invokedSelf-Fanservice: Hermione's hair will not be tangled or unmanageable, as in canon, but smooth and "just curling at the ends". | |

Hate Sink | |
| Tough Guide to Harry Potter (Fanfic) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Lucius Malfoy's entry describes him as a thoroughly loathsome character who exists to have no redeeming qualities. | |

Law of Inverse Fertility | |
| Tough Guide to Harry Potter (Fanfic) / int_f4f3252e | comment |
Law of Inverse Fertility: Zigzagged. Pregnancy occurs "when it is most inconvenient for everyone involved" or when "when it is SO convenient that it will cap the tour in a state of perfect marital bliss". It is also 100% guaranteed to happen if rape is involved. | |

Gold Digger | |
| Tough Guide to Harry Potter (Fanfic) / int_f6b2bfb7 | comment |
Cho Chang is also hit with it. With her either being depicted as angry and vengeful towards Harry, blaming him for Cedric's death or as a glory seeking Gold Digger who is only temporarily liked by male character who have yet to realize her true nature and hated by female characters who instantly see through her. | |

Cool Big Sis | |
| Tough Guide to Harry Potter (Fanfic) / int_f8600b | comment |
Cool Big Sis: A common variant of Ginny's characterization. In those fics, she essentially exists to comfort lovelorn protagonists, patch up their romantic troubles, and press them into wearing sexy clothing for the Yule Ball. | |

Chromosome Casting | |
| Tough Guide to Harry Potter (Fanfic) / int_ffb79066 | comment |
Chromosome Casting: Referred to internally as "Female Characters, Lack Thereof". Their "estimate" is that 75% of the prominent characters in the canon are male, and 25% are female, and that many fic writers seek to remedy this, most often by means of a self-insert (or a stand-in for same). As the Guide was compiled before the release of the fifth book, Luna Lovegood is conspicuous in her absence, and the Death Eaters are treated very much as a boys' club as this predates the introduction of Bellatrix Lestrange. Nymphadora Tonks, another prominent female character introduced in Book 5, is also absent. | |
