 Darktayle 2009-10-23 . chapter 1...I have to confess my confusion at this story having so many reviews. Not that your writing isn't excellent, but the most I've seen a oneshot achieve is around 200--nothing close to the abnormal quantity you've accumulated.
I do have to agree with other reviewers that the constant 'this is not a rewrite' messages were highly annoying, and a bit insulting to our intelligence. People do tend to notice large bold messages which take up half of the page, so it was a bit unnecessary. |
 sjrodgers108 2009-05-18 . chapter 1loved the oneshot more of them please thank you keep them coming |
 Avallyn 2009-03-28 . chapter 1 this: "THIS IS NOT THE REWRITE. SEE MESSAGE ABOVE." showing up continuously throughout the storry is EXTREMELY irritating. I liked the summary, the beginngin, the style - but when I came across the secon "THIS IS NOT THE REWRITE. SEE MESSAGE ABOVE." I stoped reading. Don't treat your readers like idiots. You said it in the author's note, and at the end of the story. Those that still not get it by that time - honestly, I'm amazed they can read in the first place.
Saying it all over again every second paragraph just keeps the reader from enjoying your story - which is actually kind of sad since it seemed interesting. Whatever... not my problem, just my opinion.

 FULLMETAL 2007-12-13 . chapter 1 I'm going to review as I read:
First off, I am thrilled that you're doing a rewrite! I read this fic a LONG time ago, when I first got into fanfiction, and I loved it then. I hope that I'll love the rewrite even more, since by virtue of it being a rewrite it SHOULD be better.
Hm, the intro with Dumbles seems pretty much like the original, and I thought it was established in DH that wizards have not been separated from muggles for that long, hundreds of years, yes, not THOUSANDS.
"Voldemort's Army," that just sounds pompous. The DEs are a militia at best, and terrorists at worst. Hardly an army!
Wow! Beware the mass killing curse! Hard to believe the most influential and, presumably, powerful wizards in the world going down that easily.
Uhh, if this is the first time in History the muggles see and hear about wizards being real on TV, I doubt they'll know who the heck is who! Much less that Dumbledore is the leader of the light!
Wait a minute! Since when can mirrors reflect the killing curse? What happened to unblockable?
"You have foiled me too many times!" That just cracks me up!
Oh great, here comes the standard Post OotP wimpy!Harry who's crying and going all emo over sirius' death. I thought you were doing a rewrite? Why not do something about this?
The idea that the entire (British) wizarding world's wards were tied to Hogwarts always seemed iffy to me whenever I read this. It's even more preposterous to think that Voldemort, in essence, brought down ALL the nations ancient wards so swiftly! Especially since he wasn't there himself.
Wow, now that's what I call customer service! The wizarding world is in a fight for it's survival and the Goblins still attend to Harry's banking needs!
Poor Tonks. She never even got to tell Remus she loved him! Oh wait...she did that in canon and he tried to ditch her, twice! Once when she was PREGNANT! Remus turned out to be douche by the end of the series (come to think of it, all the marauders did!). Anyway, on of the biggest letdowns in this fic was that it didn't turn out to be Harry/Tonks.
Q:What's the first thing you do when you arrive to an alternate dimension? A:You go to the bank of course! and then go shopping!
It's painfully obvious that you haven't rewritten this chapter. If I'm not mistaken, it's pretty much the same first chapter that was written by Egyptian Flame! Come on! If you're going to do a rewrite, then do it wright and rewrite the WHOLE story. Especially these first few chapters which could really use a rewrite. I hope to see improvement in the next chapter. |
 what are you even saying 2007-12-13 . chapter 2Pretty good update, I hope to see more soon.
I tried the link in your profile to Michaenneth's profile, but it doesn't work. I also searched him here and nothing popped up. Any idea what the problem is? |
 BDSanta2001 2007-12-05 . chapter 24This was cool |
 2007-12-04 . chapter 5 Finally, she’s dead. I’ve been waiting for something like this since Tonks was introduced. To be honest I was going to drop this story till I read that. Probably sounds bad that I'm rejoicing in her death but she was a bad influence on harry in my mind. I’m sure some would disagree but saying 'Come, we are going to Diagon Alley for a few hours' when one hour is 30 days worth of training is kind of stupid.
P.S. The amount of people that want Harry/Lily is possibly one of the most disturbing things i have ever read. She’s technically his mother! |
