    i assure you, there is much weirder harry potter fanfiction out there. i once read a Hogwarts Castle/Giant Squid smut fic.

    Also, pretty sure a fellow named Roko came up with the basilisk, not Yudkowsky.

      the Roko’s basilisk was from his forum, true, not directly his idea, but hes sort of related.

      he is just a guy that sometimes, I hear wierd stuff and then I am not surprised hes involved in that.

      That harry potter fan fic is weird, because instead of smut or shipping, it’s like what if Harry Potter was a humanist philosoper instead if a normal child with magic powers.

        Was that Harry Potter and the methods of rationality?

        I read the first dozen or so chapters maybe 10 years ago, until I realized that the total number of chapters approaches infinity and it got pretty boring after some time.
