 brigrove 2009-12-02 . chapter 33I quite liked the ending, although it felt like you were just blindsiding us. Overall, with the exception of chapter 31 (I think it was) an enjoyable and unusual story |
 brigrove 2009-12-02 . chapter 31Okay. You should have put the warning about ** and other sexual kicks at the start of the story or even in the summary NOT at the beginning of chapter 31. It doesn't offend me but it is normal practice in erotic fiction to warn of potential "squicks" before someone begins a story. It's a matter of respecting others.
Even aside from the fact that it comes across as gratuitous, the flashbacks, aside from their content, are a distraction from the story and even before you got into the "kinky stuff" it felt pointless and an annoying interruption to the real story. |
 brigrove 2009-12-02 . chapter 26One thing I'm not keen on is how readily Harry especially, but his friends also, turned against Hermione. So she fell in love with the wrong guy. She's not the first. I honestly can't see Harry turning against the girl who had been his most loyal friend right through their first five years, stuck by him even in the fourth year when Ron didn't (despite all the stuff about Ron's loyalty) and was badly injured beside him in the Ministry.
That aside, it's a nice tale with lots of twists |
 brigrove 2009-12-02 . chapter 24The jumps in time make it a bit difficult to follow in places in the last couple of chapters and make the reader feel like he's missing a lot. though having done that in one of my stories I understand why you've done it.
I'm surprised that Ron hasn't blasted everyone else for not fighting Krum and Dumbledore before the wedding even took place. Let's face it, the staff and Harry etc., knew Hermione was to be kidnapped and did nothing to prevent it. Law be damned, I wouldn't want them on my side in any battle.
Nice piece in the Prophet by the way |
 brigrove 2009-12-01 . chapter 21brilliant and well woven strategy from Ron |
 brigrove 2009-12-01 . chapter 19WHEW! |
 brigrove 2009-12-01 . chapter 15another really enjoyable chapter, although I think in canon it was normal for students to progress to a newt if they had Exceeding Expectations in a subject (similar to the Muggle progression from O level to A levels JKR based it on). Snape was the exception in requiring an Outstanding.
Nice to see Neville being given the limelight. |
 brigrove 2009-12-01 . chapter 14brilliant chapter, what with the conversation at table two and Dumbles taking on the Slytherins for once... |
 brigrove 2009-12-01 . chapter 13I think you've overdone Ron being SO good. I'm not one of those that is a Ron-hater, but you've made him almost the male equivalent of a Mary-Sue.
That aside, I loved the chapter. The confrontation with Draco was brilliant and even better Greg's turnaround. |
 brigrove 2009-11-30 . chapter 11Had to laugh at the last line about Ginny and Virginia.
Although I like what you've done with the story in general, frankly making Luna into a ** and what you've done with Hermione rather spoils it for me. Hermione NOT be excited about a rare old book? That's so OOC as NOT to be Hermione. You've just put totally new characters in Luna and hermione's places and given them the same names. Apart from that, still a decent read. |
 David Fishwick 2009-11-26 . chapter 33Awesome and please update soon thanks. I didn't like Parkinson very much in this story. |
 smore4u1 2009-11-13 . chapter 33Wow...what a great story. I hope you plan on writing something else!! |
 Avanell 2009-11-09 . chapter 33wow! what a ride you took us on! thanks for the wonderful story! |
 Kirsty-Luan 2009-11-07 . chapter 31Helo
Is anyone still there? |
 DukeBrymin 2009-10-29 . chapter 5I thought you'd described Ginny as still being rather plain and skinny--but in this chapter all of a sudden she's developed enough curves to attract Harry. |
