Reviews for A Shattered Prophecy |
---|
purpleradiance chapter 14 . 9/28/2017 nicely written |
DarkPotter chapter 24 . 8/8/2017 Your story was better. Darkness Within was shitty. That person who wrote that review can't read worth a damn. |
Manawydan chapter 26 . 8/1/2017 Damn I'm sorry you ended up having such a shitty FF experience. (For the record this is definitely than better than DW) I love everything you did with this story and I'm glad you ended up leaving it up. It's such a dark story but you hit on some very lovely themes in the end. I adore the self-fulfilling nature of the prophecy in this. Voldemort quite literally being defeated by love and realizing that death is a natural part of life feels straight out of Rowling. I can just see Dumbledore smiling whimsically from beyond the grave at how that turned out. It felt so tragically perfect that while Harry turns Voldemort more human, Voldemort mutilates the humanity in Harry. I mean it's awful and sad, but you quite believably showed that there wasn't really a coming back for Harry. It feels like the origin story for a good comic book villain, where you can sympathize with how they began and see the flickers of goodness in them while recognizing that this was ultimately always going to be a tragedy. God what a great ending, have I said that yet? Honestly I know you apologized for not finishing the sequel, but it works so well on it own I'm not sure I'd even want one. |
Guest chapter 26 . 5/4/2017 I'm glad that you didn't delete your stories. I will admit that I arrived here after reading the The Darkness Within and that brought me to the original story. Without lying, I liked your story more because your characters had way more common sense and the ending(s) was very appropriate and satisfying. While I liked the idea behind The Darkness Within, I despised large parts of the story. Nobody had common sense there - James was some super incredible dad who had a sixth sense about everything, Harry's brother was downright annoying with his blind trust in a trained killer and when it all ends, Harry is free AND A FUCKING HERO, despite killing and hurting dozens of people. Not to mention that from the first 3-4 chapters it was obvious that Ginny found her prince charming and it was all "meant to be". So I am really glad that you left this story here. As for the negative reviews... I understand that it's been a long time since you wrote this story and throughout the years you must have improved a lot. BUT... it's times like this when we - the rest of the world, especially those who speak English as a second language - are condescending and laugh our asses off at 'Murrica's education system. Being a native speaker (and a college student while writing this) and not being capable of using their/they're, your/you're and then/than properly is just unacceptable. |
SortingHat chapter 1 . 5/3/2017 For such a high profile target they sure didn't think much beyond *secret keepers*. They could've used various alarms both wizard type and muggle kind. They could've rigged the house with bobbb (booby) traps not sure how to spell it. |
viridianmort chapter 26 . 3/30/2017 It's sad that wonderful writers are driven away from their talent because of people who feel the need to criticize other's hard work. While some parts of this story were a little confusing in the way it was wrote, it eventually made sense in the end as it all came together. I especially enjoyed Harry's inner struggle and the fact that there was no escape for him, no 'utopia' no matter which ending it was. Thank you so much for sharing your work, I hope you find success in your career and the fulfillment and happiness you couldn't obtain with fanfiction. |
AlwaysAnAussie chapter 26 . 3/19/2017 I was saddened to read this sign off from, but understand completely, the drama and tension that revolves around fanfic can be too much sometimes, and it takes away from the pleasure of writing and sharing your ideas. I too gave up writing fanfics but I'm addicted to read them and exploring such wonderful works like yours. All the best. |
AlwaysAnAussie chapter 25 . 3/19/2017 Ohhh I liked this ending too. Thx for sharing. |
AlwaysAnAussie chapter 24 . 3/19/2017 I was completely enthralled by this fic. Amazing. Thx for sharing your wonderful ideas. |
Pokarak chapter 26 . 2/6/2017 Your a great writer and don't let anyone no matter how old tell yopu what you can or cannot do. |
lechatabbicat chapter 24 . 1/26/2017 Great story! Loved it! |
lechatabbicat chapter 12 . 1/26/2017 Great story! Really like it! |
Guest chapter 1 . 12/24/2016 I already read this story twice and i still can't get enough of it. It made me scour Harry Potter fanfiction for more father-Voldermort-son-Harry stories but i can't find one that is as good as yours. I was a little heartbroken when I read your last A/N. It just sad that you have stopped writing in this website but I still hope that you can find the inspiration to come back because your just that good. I really like your writing style especially the dialogues. I like how you portrayed Harry, Voldemort and Dumbledore. And I just fell in love with the characters of Dorian and Jonas. When you first introduced them to the story I admit that I wasn't initially that receptive to them. I thought that you're taking the expanded universe too far. But as i continue reading, i realized how perfectly they fit in the story. Okey, i think i already said too much but, honestly, i still have more that i want to say in this review even if you probably might not read it. But just in case you do, i just want to say again that you are a really an amazing writer despite what your bashers say about you. And i really hope you come back and bless us, your fans, again of more amazing stories. |
tribalphoenix chapter 26 . 11/13/2016 An end to a great story. I admit, I'm sad at the fact that you've given up fanfiction because of people who don't know what they're talking about. It's such a shame. However, it's 2016 and I'm really glad that you've kept your stories up, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enjoy them. This was a well written story. I know you probably won't see this, but I would just like to put it out there. Thank you. |
Meissa6 chapter 24 . 11/3/2016 At first I thought Voldemort had hired the assassin, but then he goes and freaking dies for Harry. Talk about total heartbreak. Also the ending scene was genius, especially the last line: "After he was outside, he whispered to the man he had just killed, 'Hatred can never save.'" Just brilliant! |
