 Fayari 4/6/12 . chapter 7Shadowcub said it best. I try my hardest to make myself like the Marauders, but every pro Marauder fic I've ever read glosses over the fact that the Marauders maliciously abuse Snape. Sure the fic mentions it sometimes, but then justifies it by saying that Snape is an prideful bastard who brings it upon himself, or that it was just harmless pranks, when clearly, the Marauders initiate the altercations, and that the pranks are derogatory, malicious, and downright violent. I don't particularly like Snape, but I can't bring myself to like the Marauders either, since they are clearly the bad guys in that rivalry.
I mean, seriously, your fic goes on and on about how the Marauders feel that Sirius betrayed Remus's trust and how he took advantage of their friendship. Because clearly, Sirius almost killing Snape, as you mentioned in your AN, isn't the important bit for the Marauders. How is that supposed to convince anyone that the Marauders are anything more than a bunch of self-centered, arrogant fucks who don't actually feel sincere remorse about almost killing a guy?
This is not me "flaming" you, about how I think 'omg alan rickm-I MEAN ma DAH-leeng sevvie snape iz da SCHMECK-SIEST guy in da wurld and thus you suck, Snape-basher'. I'm just saying that as far as this fic goes, its very typical of all the other pro Marauder fics out there. So hey, if that was what you were going for, congratulations. If you were going for giving readers an insight on how Marauders think, then all you've managed to do is repeat the same old pattern that other pro-marauder fics have already shown (that is, that the Marauders were a shallow group of self-righteous people who thought that being in Gryffindor was the end-all-be-all of goodness). |
 NiceVest 11/15/10 . chapter 7i think your story is totally awesome, quite frankly. i find the way everyone responded to what happened was pretty realistic and i do think that all the windows in Gryffindor Tower breaking was a nice touch. :D But seriously. Based on the update date, it's been more than two years since you updated and I, for one am eagerly awaiting the next chapter |
 little.rover.red 12/17/09 . chapter 7i love this story! i just read the whole of it and i can't wait to see the rest. please update soon! |
 Schiff Thomas 9/9/09 . chapter 4I can't help but notice that you are a Star Trek fan... either that or it's complete coincidence that you took James Tiberius for Potters name... James Tiberius Kirk... lol either way ((thumbs up))
this is amazing so far I can't wait to read the rest... |
 Westward Rambler 2/25/09 . chapter 1this story is really good! |
 melpomene94 12/14/08 . chapter 7I really like it. Believable portrayals of the characters, too. |
 Seaside 9/14/08 . chapter 7 Heya, awesome! A Dangerverse fanfic!
Very interesting, and amusing... You have the opportunity to 'save' even more people - happy world..
Speculation, of Snape joining the bunch? And Danger, Lily and Letha should definitely become Animagi asap - for a breakout? Or will there be total political reform by a bunch of teens and parents you have the fun of creating?
Heh, well, anyways, thanks for the great story; I'll be checking up on it! :D ;D By the Seaside, washing out |
 Miss Moonray 6/27/08 . chapter 7 I love your story... Really, I do. And I really don't think they're blaming Sirius for the wrong thing. His betrayal was the thing to be blamed, because the other events started because he told the secret.
I hope you'll continue it soon... I really want to read what's going to happen next and what are the founders and their children doing...
PS: Sorry for my bad english. |
 Abe Lincoln Equals Scotland 2/6/08 . chapter 7 I love your fic. I especially love the new spin you've put on A Little Slice of Heaven, and the theory of Danger being a 'half-latent' is really ingenious. I can't wait to see where it's going.
ALES |
 Hebi R 1/28/08 . chapter 7Thanks for updating, and for the nice long author's note. I love when y'all explain your rationale; it just makes things more fun. My only Snape wish is that he not be driven right into the Dark Lord's hands because of this. The reactions of the Marauders seem pretty accurate. One more reason why they are particularly forgiving of Sirius is probably the pack-mindset. |
 Robin Hood 1/24/08 . chapter 1 Well, gosh, I can't read any more of this. Angst being so hard to handle. |
 anonymous 1/10/08 . chapter 1 kl story but the mention of the fact that two oc's are in this ruins it, they have nicknames so are obviously close to the marauders if not in them so sorry but that is extremely annoying if you gave them actual names and didn't call them by nicknames it wouldn't be so bad but the familiarity makes them similar to mary sues and that is something that would utterly ruin this story! |
 chocoluvr 1/8/08 . chapter 7Good chapter, even with showing the Mauraders in a realistic way. Even having Lily hiding her little visit to Snape from James is realistic. |
 Tansiana 1/4/08 . chapter 7woohoo, new chapter! and a very good one too; not that any of yours have been bad! thanks for the update; please get another chapter up soon

 shadowcub 1/4/08 . chapter 7 You're not selfish but this entire story is how to get Remus out of trouble, Snape's name is never mentioned unless it's Snape's not dead is he poor Remus, typical pro Maurauders. Minerva admiring their transformation while ole Sevvie is about to bite the bullett.
I looked for something to make me like these guys and see nothing but them trying to get ole Remus out of trouble. |
