Reviews for Following the Phoenix |
---|
![]() ![]() ![]() I did enjoy this. And the ending is beautiful. Most of this feels very well put together. The Nihil Supernum and the Muggle War plotline felt particularly well put-together. I did find it rather curous when you sketched a classic theistic worldview - there are souls, souls are in a ether of stasis after death where they cannot feel, hear or think, (psalms 6:5) souls are designed - and then when the question 'who designed souls' comes up the answer is 'humans, obviously'. Just goes to show how we can all be blinded by our perspectives. |
![]() ![]() the soul could be the recording from a future civilization going back and recording the person, now that quirrel is gone he should be more confident that time magic can be roken |
![]() ![]() well done, though i still consider quirrels motives to be truly childish and basic, Quirrell is just throwing a temper tantrum cause his favorite toy did not work as expected, he really is a fraction of a soul, given that i would dudley dursely from canon to be more mature, a truly empty existence, a child drowning his colony ant but with the power of a demi-god |
![]() ![]() Honestly the captain was wrong, that is to say in real life the intelligent decision would be a headless guerilla style warfare. Also only in story the captain is wise because this part of Quirrell's plan,but at the end of the day Quirrell's intelligence is greatly exagerated, the man is to engrossed in his own ego to just be able get things do simply, |
![]() ![]() I cannot help but think that this is a parody of HPOR, for all that Quirrel and Harry are suppossed geniuses all their plans involve role playing smart ass and seating on their asses. If Quirrell only wants tog et rid of nuclear weapons he could just use legilimency and imperius to find all the warheads and destroy them himself. Such silly complicated plots for what could be so easily be bute forced by reckless action. Though I suppose that is the message of the fic? follow the phoenix and stop wrrying about the useless pompous genius that says the can anticipate everything you do! Plot all you want but if you just decide to say fuck it do something random and highly dangerous then the enemies plans are all for naught?I feel that rationa fics could be excellent fiction if they only learn to be less stupid, don't make up silly reasons why Voldermort takes 10 years to do nothing, just demolish the timeline and create a competely different AU minus all the silly idiocy of Rowling that Yudkowsky seeks to rationalize intead of throw away! |
![]() ![]() ![]() The start of this chapter puts the "magic is fading" issue in perspective - the book-learnable magic isn't interdicted, so that's the floor, and even if all but that were lost, new "truly powerful" magic could be *invented* or rediscovered from scratch still. That has to have happened in the past in order to reach magic's peak, after all. It's hardly a truly inexorable decline, just... what's been happening because of poor coordination. |
![]() ![]() ![]() What if the secret-kept area had a hole in it? I.e. a cube the outside borders of which are under Fidelius, while the inside is not protected by the spell per se. The person lives within the "unprotected" inside and is the secret keeper for the outside. Great story, btw! This is my favourite HPMOR continuation. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Most excellent. Thank you. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Hello! I hope you see this, wonderful author, years after you last posted something on this site. :) I just wanted to thank you for this most amazing story! It's by far my most favorite HPMOR fanfic. You got the voices so perfect, and it was a joy to read from beginning to end! |
![]() ![]() Any chance we could get an audiobook of this? |
![]() ![]() Weird story. Harry...needs a therapist. Lovely telling of this strange story, though. Thank you! |
![]() ![]() Where are the Weasley twins in this? Where's Remus? Is Hagrid ok? I haven't heard any mention of Hedwig, is she ok? Where's Arthur, the "muggle expert"? |
![]() ![]() This makes no sense. Why hasn't Harry killed Albus for purposefully "sacrificing" (doing away with) Hermione? Why is he letting that old bastard live? |
![]() ![]() ![]() Mannnnn I’m enjoying this more then the conclusion of HPmor (but only because I’m able to revisit the world in such a long time) less rationality but great story and direction… thank you ! (Up to chapter 18) |
![]() ![]() This fan fic is keeping me hooked once again to a fiction in a way that very few things in life can (love, sex and drugs are on the same line). To the author, I would love to read more of your stories and if you publish a book, I will certainly but it! Thank you so much for such a thoughtful expansion of HPMoR |
