The story didn't make me want to claw my eyes out but there wasn't anything original either. Overall i liked the story.

I get that whole 'not wanting to claw my eyes out' bit, yeah. I know that there are plenty of fics out there that make me want to do just that.
The other thing is that much of it isn't supposed to be original - BHP is a send-up/parody of other fics, after all. Later chapters will start having references to specific fics, even. I do think there is the occasional original bit. At least, I've not read any other fics with the Myrtle bit, for example.
And really, all I can hope for is that people like the story and don't consider it a waste of their reading time. It's fun to write, so I always hope it's fun to read.
