odonnellzoo99 chapter 66 . 9/6 100% chance that I knew nothing about WORM before reading this fic. 75% chance I'll read it again sometime. 50% chance that I liked it enough to read some of your other non-HP stories. 0% chance that I would predicted the ending beforehand. A very fun read. |
omh666 chapter 66 . 8/25 I've read all the fics before this one, and it still took a bit of work for me to fully wrap my mind around everything that just happened in this chapter. Damn that was an ending. Thanks for writing, and again for posting it here for us to read. |
Jaquilynne chapter 66 . 8/24 ya got me good, the motorboating scene had me laughing so hard I couldn't see, tears running down my cheeks from it. it took 5 minutes before I could start to see again. |
offsides chapter 66 . 7/15 So, overall I really liked this story, though having looked into the source material I don't think I'm going to read Worm - things that are very dark aren't my cup of tea (or more honestly, they pull on my dark side in ways I don't like - were I in Harry's place I would have insisted on Alexandria's head on a pike in front of Protectorate HQ, or at the very least her unmasking herself and publicly stating, "I'm Alexandria, and I Fucked Up."). I have to say, this is probably the best Deus ex machina I've read, most likely because in a literary sense it wasn't - Amanda Rogers was Chekhov's gun, and had been in plain view on the mantle for quite a bit of the story. Meaning there was no way she wasn't going to show up and fix things in the end, and to me at least that included Harry Bailey and not just Scion. But I am a little disappointed in the ending - not how it ended, but where it ended. I think leaving the whole Bailey vs. Potter headache (for the rest of the world, at least) unresolved does an injustice to your readers, not to mention the question of is Harry Potter still bonded to the other 3 or not. I understand why you stopped where you did, I just don't like it. My other overall critique of this and all your stories is that you need to do a better job of proofreading before you post - your stories tend to have a LOT of spelling errors and to a lesser extent grammar issues, and while most of them don't affect the ability to understand what you meant, they do take away from the enjoyment of the story. My suggestion (something I usually do before posting) is to run everything through spelling and grammar check in something like MS Word or LibreOffice Writer, and after you correct everything there print it out and use a highlighter and pen to find and correct as many things as you can that way. It's not a 100% foolproof method, but it does help to get most of the typos and other issues fixed before posting. Additional proofreaders help too, but I know that's not always possible. You've already got the creative part of writing down pretty well, and spending a little more time polishing the technical side would only make your stories better. |
Kedavra Lumos chapter 66 . 7/14 I don't know why, but I was never able to get into this one before, but finally, after several attempts over the years, this time I did, and it was quite enjoyable! Thank you for writing it ... no idea why I was not ready to read it until now. |
Talonwalker chapter 66 . 6/16 Great story! Thanks for sharing! |
Guest chapter 16 . 6/8 Harry is 16, that is the age of consent in ALL of New England (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts). So Paige wouldn't go to jail at all. |
