I had wondered how this world would be. When you mentioned it in your other story, I had started to imagine things. Lol, it was fun to read.

"he couldn’t take a ** without some horse man telling him Uranus was bright"

That seriously cracked me up xD

I was secretly hoping you'd do something like this ;p

Other worlds eh? Well, an obvious possibility is to visit our plane of existence. Where magic does not exist and Harry Potter is only a story, but it might be too clichéd to follow through.

Another one might be where the moral compass of every character is reversed, evil characters defending the magical and muggle worlds, while the good characters are trying to tear it to pieces. Again, it is a simple idea, but it may be interesting to write about the profoundly disturbing affect it would have on Sirius to see the people he loved so morally corrupt. It may also be interested to write the personalities of the characters as close to their HPverse characters as possible. For example, the unbending loyalty of the golden gang twinned with destructive intent, and the clear hierarchy seen with the death eaters coupled with the fierce determination to rid the world of evil. It could prove quite fun.

Another avenue to take could be to play with the politics of the HPverse. Instead of a Ministry of Magic, why not a monarchy? A dictatorship? Communism? It might be tricky to plot them up however, I couldn’t think of any sort of story to put with the concept :\

If all else fails, stick everything underwater, make Harry battle Voldemort on a laser powered unicorn, and generally make it so completely silly that the concept would carry itself without a plot at all. It’s always amusing to read a story that’s completely OOC and implausible, when the characters believe it whole-heartedly; when it’s done well that is. In seriousness it would be difficult to pull off unless it was used as a filler chapter, but I suppose, the general theme of Sirius world hopping to get to Harry makes each world it’s own individual sub-plot anyway. It’s the “…what the hell?!” look on I can imagine on Sirius’s face that make me chuckle.

The only world I think you must write about is the place in which Sirius loses his wand. As it is a time where a wizard who is likely to have never attempted or performed wandless magic before, does so through drive and likely desperation, to escape from his current world, and to continue looking for his godson.

But really I’d be happy if he went to a world where Dragons were sentient beings with more conscious thought than was given to them in the books. However that is just my Dragongasmness talking XP. Far too much of a dragon fangirl for my own good.

You could always experiment with the timeline. Pick everything up from the Hpverse on drop it in World War 2, Ancient Greece, or a future where technomagical hybrids exist courtesy of the Unspeakables. Their purpose or role in such a story I leave at your digression.

Take magic away from the Hpverse. How would it be different? Why? Would the same people still exist just without magic, or would only certain people exist due to magical non-events? Would Voldemort still be a power-hungry tyrannical overlord, even without magical blood with which he differs himself from ordinary people? Would Harry still work so desperately virtuously for a bright future without a prophesy hanging over his shoulders like an imperial ton? Would either of them exist at all?

Have Sirius step though into Zion. See how Neo deals with another person who can defend the matrix against the machines. Serve him up to the assorted Final Fantasy worlds. Plonk him down into the Disneyverse. Bimble into Dragonball Z. Basically, toy with the idea off crossovers. While it is a stepping stone of clichéd ideas and a trap for young writers, don’t discard it immediately. They are a source of an infinite number of ideas, and a veil through to other worlds cannot immediately mean that all the worlds it leads to mush be a parallel from whence it came.

And here my idea well has run dry. My main target for this review was to provide fodder for the proverbial cow of thought to chew upon, and I can only hope it does so. I will not be disappointed if none of the ideas are used, I would like to think however that they provide means to conceive much higher standard, better founded ideas.

Now I must retire to bed, it is now early morning, and I have exams I need to take. I hope you can forgive the wordiness, and poor written quality of this review, not to mention the sometime atrocious spelling. As I have stated it is late, or rather, it is early, and spellchecking can only go so far when you’re too tired to tell what is correct and what is in fact Gobbledegook.

All the best

"He’d already wasted several weeks on his first world, bizarre place that, ruled over by centaurs."

You can't tell us of a world ruled by Centaur's and then not give us at the very least a one shot about it.

Brilliant, as usual. You misspelled "frightening" and I think there were a couple of other issues too, but mostly it was fine.
On the matter of other worlds, I think "Sirius Black and the Land of the Pokegirls" has enormous potential, though perhaps far too much to be confined to a single small chapter. Come to think of it, I might have to write that myself. Myeh, either way, could be fun.

Keep up the excellent work!

Nice side story. Could give a couple of background points for the main. Not sure if I want to see more though. Visions of SLIDERS episodes come to mind, which got progressively lamer as the series stretched on.

Well I like the first chapter of this. A bit sad at the end though. don't suppose you can have harry and sirius return here at the end of "the world that waits" do you? and please update "the world that waits" soon.
