EDIT: Most unfortunately, this quest must be put on long term hiatus, bordering abandoned. I hate to disappoint those who voted and were looking forward to further updates, but as I read the first Artemis Fowl novel I found myself having trouble reconciling this sort of plot with that of the series. Until further notice, this quest will not be updated again.
With Voldemort's dead and smoking corpse at your feet, your breath comes in ragged gasps. It's over, you think. He's finally gone. Your exhausted gaze pans over the battlegrounds, what had once been Hogsmeade. There is nothing left of the wizarding village but for a desolate ruin, rubble and fire and melting glass as far as the eye can see. It is a miracle that there are few innocent casualties. You return your stare upon the late Dark Lord. His broken horcruxes could not save him from being vanquished in the end.
You fall to your knees in exhaustion. You can barely keep your head up now as the battle high, the adrenaline, has faded. Just as you are about to relinquish your charred wand, a dreadful sensation pulls at your thoughts. You blink your shutting eyes open again and manage to look up toward the night sky as the distinct sensation of being drawn into a portkey grows without quite reaching fulfillment. Not again, you mouth silently. Your throat is too raw to try and utter the words aloud. You must have screamed yourself mute over the past two hours, throwing everything but for the kitchen sink at Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
But your plea goes unanswered. That feeling is becoming more and more certain, like quick-setting cement in your guts. Your whole body is starting to tingle, becoming numb, too. Distantly you can hear a noise like thunder building up, and before your eyes, the stars in the night sky are becoming distorted. Its almost as if the fabric of reality is being pushed and pulled with violent heaves. You feel decidedly ill, but there is no turning aside now. With a great hook behind your navel, the world around you falls away and you are flung into that loosening tapestry in the sky for only the second time in your life.
It never gets any easier after this.
What world do you visit:
[] Potterverse.
[] Other Fandom, write-in what series.

Interesting choices so far! I'll do an update later today, give this some more time to grow and settle on a decision, plus I may need to do some wiki-skimming if an unfamiliar fandom appears.
EDIT: Also, we'll settle on knowledge/abilities and restrictions and such once the setting itself is determined, my goal with this is to present a Harry who's been around the block a couple of times now but isn't overpowered at the start(we'll maybe get to that point if we survive a few worlds).

Ooh, more Zerra reading material. ^_^
[x] Potterverse.
Going to just go with Potterverse for now, since it's easier to catch a wider audience. But I'd be down for any of these.
(Hrm. On a separate minor note, I'd slightly prefer to play as some kind of original or minor character for a dimension hopping quest, to avoid potential brain hiccups with in-name-only-ness. I'll see how it goes.)

(This one's going to be... interesting. I haven't touched those books in years and I may well have to re-read them as I'm writing this portion of the Quest.)
What world do you visit: Artemis Fowl.
Blistering cold and ferocious heat wash over you by turns as you vanish from this world into the distant ether. You know better than to risk opening your eyes yet, but the introduction of sudden celestial turbulence jolts your body harshly in mid-flight, and you cannot help but blink them open. Your stomach twists into a knot as the hurried cosmos wind in and out of existence around you, and you have the most horrible sensation of being torn apart as you keep halting and flowing forward. You can hardly think straight as the pain rises toward a crescendo.
And then it is past. Whatever friction had appeared vanishes just the same as it had come, suddenly, and you are soaring forward. The stars and galaxies realign, though by now you have once again shut your eyes. It is better to be blind for the moment. Thus when you finally broach the skies over a distant world, when you feel the gusting winds and realize that you can breath again, your lungs hurriedly gulping down fresh air, you have only moments before you hit the dirt like a meteorite.
Your body rolls end over end and comes to a halt up against a tall oak tree. You cough and pant, and stare up at the full moon above. It's done... you lay there and find your strength ebbing. You won't be awake for much longer.
When have you appeared?
[] At the time of the first book, in which Holly is about to acquire the acorn she needs to renew her magic. Artemis and Butler are lurking nearby.
[] At the time of book 2+(write in which one, assume we will always be at the start of that book's narrative).

[X] Book 5
I would say that the books kinda got meh after this, so might as well avert that.

I'm more than a bit hazy on book 5+, so I'd rather keep it to the early stages of the series. It's also less for the QM to read.

If I was going to choose a book, it would be book 3, 4, or 5, as Artemis has had some time to mellow out.
But I have to say go from the start.

Ha, I had to refresh my memory a bit by reading the summaries.
[x] At the time of book 2.
I feel like the events of the first book were what really made Artemis into the person he becomes. Artemis is still in full desperate-to-help-family asshole mode at the beginning of book 1. Book 1 is also what firmly establishes Artemis's notoriety.
But I also want to start on the earlier side.
Book 2, the Arctic Incident, feels like a good place to start. Opal enters the stage, LEP works with Artemis, Artemis tries to get his dad back.

Looks like we're going to begin with the beginning. Thank you everyone for reading and voting and commenting. At the moment I'm up to page 67 of the first book so once I have a firmer reminder of how things actually went down canonically, I'll get to work on how we end up influencing the matter here. The next update should be out tomorrow afternoon.
1/19: My apologies, but my time has gotten away from me. I haven't made it any further into the first novel and subsequently have not advanced the Quest any further. Seeing as I want to do justice for the matter instead of continued pocket-sized updates like the above, this will be on hiatus for the time being.
