That was freaking amazing! I loved it, all angsty and depressing with some crazy cool twists!
~Smile!~

Well I cried...that's really all I can say. It's so unfair! But you made it into such a good story, with each character having something special about them. Plus, I was surprised by the fact that you chose to end it in such a way--so many authors chicken out of "killing their darlings" as Faulkner would say. Thank you!

Brilliant story! It's sad, but not everything can have a happy ending. Maybe it's my love for angst, but I would have loved to have read a posthumous award ceremony and funeral. Thanks for sharing such a great story!

Holycrap, most unique story ever. Loved it.

very interesting premise and excellent story

That was super awesome. Depressing, yes, but I like it that way. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I'll probably be looking at more of your stories tomorrow.

well done

awesome story =]

a pathetic ending to a mediocre story.
the a/n at the end justifying the ending as planned and expected was also pretty weak and just gives rise to the fact that while an interesting idea you really couldn't deliver in the end, just as with your other stories.
harry-golem, even if he had an existential crisi would never have taken such an easy way out. anyway, how are they supposed to defeat voldy now, since they all believe in prophecy so much.

and don't get me started on the fact that the kids can cast such things like imperius. first off, it takes willpower. how much willpower can a pampered boy have? then there's the magic. he's a kid, kids can't cast that stuff yet, just like moody said, you really really have to want it to make the three unforivables work. where would they have learned stuff like that. james is so anti dark he would never have allowed those books to come along with them, and he certainly would never have taught them, even if he knew them (which i doubt).
lastly, the kids are just too well adjusted. they've been isolated their whole lives and are suddenly thrust into a new world with people and they interact without problems. human development just doesn't work that way.

as i said earlier, a pathetic ending to a mediocre story.

Oh, it's such a sad ending, but it fits (even though I'm itching to read more in the outtakes/epiloges/other story.)

An amazing story really... so sad in the end though.

God, did it have to be so depressing?

Wow. This was one hell of a depressing story. Fairly well written too, but there were some parts that seemed to lack feeling ...

I kinda feel like I've been left to dry but still ... it was an amazing read. :)

He died like a man! Really a better man than his supposed father was!

I hope that is what they think think.
