Its a story meant to push the author's own insane views on logic and rationality. It tries too hard to be funny while also using his retarded ideas on how people actually think.
The part where I stopped was when Harry decided that it would be a good, character building, idea to agree to have his entire 1st year DADA class (as run by cool professor Quirrel, who's idea this was) spit on him and denigrate him. Somehow this would make him stronger, rather then traumatized.
The story is complete and utter shit, and its basically the author masturbating over how awesome he thinks he is.

I really liked MoR... but I also thought that the hilarious set-ups excused a lot of the author's overblown opinions, that kind of thing.
Also "Harry Potter" came off as a lizard person masquerading as a human, and not doing such a great job at it, to boot.
So I guess if it doesn't bug you it's a lot of fun, but I totally see where it could bug you so much you ragequit.

I really loved the story. The author does a good job at story telling and some of the scenes of logic and just brilliant. Some of the scenes though, you'll need to suspend your disbelief for a bit, but considering that the story goes out of its way to try avoiding that, it's counter-productive.
One of those, you'll either love it or hate it kind of things, I guess.

Personally, I'm happy to see this kind of interest/activity within our community. But, as a moderator, I must ask - why should I not treat you as a spammer? Your post history says that you've posted the SAME post in 4 other threads. In fact, we just banned someone recently for doing a similar stunt. Can you please reply publicly with more information about your sociology study? Also - since you are asking us about our ages, how old are you? Have you done similar studies before?
@All,
Unless I see evidence to the contrary, I'm treating this as spam. <_< But am willing to give the benefit of a doubt.

PS: The google doc link takes me to a google form - aesthetically, it seems legit.

That's a really nice find. I was struck how plausible author managed to keep the characters for most of the time. Definitely something you don't often see in HP fandom filled with OOC behavior and fanon.Only bits of fanon in it that really annoyed me were the griping about muh innocent magical creatures that dindu nuffin and systematic persecution of muggleborns. Latter has no real evidence to back that up outside the regime run by Voldemort and former is hilarious piece of hypocrisy on many fans part.
People love to bash Dumbledore for not ensuring student safety, yet support allowing people with disease that turns them to ravenous psychopaths capable of infecting others with no real cure close to children? Potion exists to prevent that, but humans are forgetful and realistically any werewolf is disaster waiting to happen. Even Remus, a saint by Werewolf standards almost killed/infected Harry & Co. That's not even taking into account the fact that examples we are given seem to make Remus an exception among werewolves instead of norm. They might not all be as bad as Fenrir, but the legislation against them is sensible precaution.
However those fanon elements are required for plot to work and Harry endangering general public for people close to him is in-character. Fic is so good that you don't even mind the flaws for most of the time. Best HP fic I've read in years.

mainly because the regulation is not: you are dangerous because once in a month you become a freaking danger to anyone nearby so you are mandated to take your pills and go into seclusion for the duration of your spell or else...
but: you are frealing dangerous dark shit, so there are no jobs for you, you third class creature how dare you to be alive.
it's no wonder why most of them are psychos.
or at least that is what fanon makes them be

Yeah pretty much. They have no other real alteration other than one day a month they have to be locked in a room to prevent them from hurting others, hell the potions only there to be a back up and to make it a bit less unpleasent. It's really all the security and compromise needed to help werewolves. They aren't any more dangerous than a normal wizard outside of that time.
Still pointless risk to take in hospitals and school conditions which is also assuming that werewolves in question would be nice guys like Remus instead of being closer to Fenrir like most were in the books. High-stress job like hospital work etc.? One missed potion would be disaster. Same thing would be true in school setting and number of positions. You don't even need actual malice when plain incompetence people love to accuse wizards of would be more than enough to guarantee catastrophes. Would any sensible organization employ virus-carrying psychopaths as long as they remember to take their meds?
There probably are numerous jobs that could be done by decent werewolf without that high consequences of failure, but again it's not likely to be worth the risks for any sensible government or organization. Werewolves are carriers off highly dangerous pathogen and according to books most seem to enjoy infecting innocents, so the fact that wizarding governments won't actively exterminate them on sight is already pretty damn humane.

Wasn't everybody concerned when Bill was bitten by Fenrir in his human form? I know that he only ended up with a liking for rare steak, but they were actually worried about whether he would become a werewolf.
That implies that it's at least possible for lycanthropy to be transmitted whilst not transformed.
