Harry Potter And The Natural 20

By Sir Poley

I am back!
Anyway, I really liked this story, although it is not as ridiculously awesome as I'm here to help, nor is it as long as Harry Potter and The Methods Of Rationality, it is consistently hilarious, and fairly kid-friendly, to boot.
The Blurb: Milo, a genre-savvy D&D Wizard and Adventurer Extraordinaire is forced to attend Hogwarts, and soon finds himself plunged into a new adventure of magic, mad old Wizards, metagaming, misunderstandings, and munchkinry. Updates Thursdays.
Comments: Technically accurate, and strikes me as amusing, to boot.

Language: Medium, a grand total of one D-word by the end of chapter 8, and possibly a S-word or two. "crud" and "parc(backwards)" are used fairly often.

Violence: Medium, killing of semi-sentient beings is done occasionally by a main character, said character occasionally attempts to kill sophonts threatening him or his friends, several characters are mentioned as being killed in the backstory, several characters are injured.

Religious/Other: Most characters use various powers referred to as magic, mention of demons, mention of a villain attempting to achieve immortality, one of the main characters comes from an alternate world where death can be reversed, mention of semi-arbitrary "alignment" determining a character's choices, references to "clerics" being able to heal wounds and resurrect the dead(if of "good" alignment), references to necromancy.
