I read this story a while ago, and I remember that I really liked it. I don't think there are any pairings, but I could be wrong. I hope this is in the right category, I was debating whether to put this in Godlike or Genereal. Meh, read it, and if you think it should be in General, I'll move it.

I disliked this story from the first chapter.
Uh, that's great...mind being a little more descriptive? I read this story a few months ago, and from my impression of it, it was pretty good.

Is this the one where Earth tasks him with removing all magic or something similar to that?
Uh..no. Isn't that the one with the four Gods with the "aka" after their names? By Tim K'Nispel (or something to that extent). Nope, in this story Harry learns to embrace magic.

he hugs magic??? is magic a hot girl then?

I don't know if you were being sarcastic or serious, so I'll just take it as being serious. I meant "embrace" in the figurative sense, not the literal sense. I really hope you were being sarcastic.

read it a looong time ago but sadly the fic is abondoned. The Author writes pretty complicated but it gets better. If I remember clearly I liked it because it was pretty original though it has some cliches (Harry teaching at Hogwarts....)

i liked this one, it was original and tried to stay away from alot of the cliches RIGHT in the middle of "The Great Cliche Season" at the beginning of last March. I think he had another story that caught my eye...i don't remember.

He has another story thats turning out okay but I dont know if its been abandoned or not. It has some big cliche parts but it isnt too bad. It only has three chapters though.

You know, thanks you; for the compliments and the insults, the endorsements and the put-downs. I find it vastly amusing and quite enjoyable to read these posts and your comments. Until now I hadn’t received any negative reaction regarding my stories, but it is greatly liberating to know that what I write is still crap for a lot, especially when compared to those who do write for a living.
Not everyone has the same tastes after all. In any case, thanks! But you should all know that the stories are not abandoned and should actually be updated in the next few days. So if some of you are still interested in reading it, keep on the look out. :wink:
For the moment though, I’ll just start browsing around, since this site was just brought to me attention.

lol welcome, good to see more authors here. Don't take anything the folks say here utterly personal, we're all a bit jaded over the mass cliche screw that's going on @ ff.nuts atm.

That is one disturbing looking bear Mid, though not quite as disturbing as the last Ginny Picture you posted.
Perhaps it is Ginny's animalistic looks that drive Harry crazy, for all we know bestiality may be his thing. All I have to say is that Firenze better protect his hind quarters.
In an attempt to keep this post relatively on topic I will say that I have quite enjoyed what I have read of the story so far Madeyes. I've not read everything thats there but I'll continue when I'm not so busy.

Hey, Thanks! Ad don’t worry, I don’t tae anything to heart. It’s actually kind of refreshing to read those ‘Jaded’ comments. I mean, really, everyone has different tastes and what not, so why get pissed when someone doesn’t share your opinion of what you like? It’d be a damn boring world otherwise.
As for the ‘clichés,’ well, if used correctly a cliché is just as entertaining as an original idea. Besides, didn’t someone say that everything’s already been said? All we can strive to accomplish is to put a bit of our own personalities in what we do, I think.
Well damn, that was deep, and here I haven’t had any breakfast yet.

Anyways I have to agree, that’s some scary arsed bear. Oh, and Thanks, Cervus, although I don’t mind criticism, so if you find anything that doesn’t sit well with you, just tell me, I’d really appreciate it. After all, you can’t get better if you don’t know what you’ve done wrong in the first place, right?
I actually like the your other story more, Mad-Eyes. Can't remember the name right now but its good.
That other story is ‘Before Me,’ It’s a Time-travel story where he goes back to before he was born, on James and Lily’s seventh year; The idea and gender of the story if a cliché that I like, but it’ll have some different outcomes if I have anything to say about it.
In any case, thanks for the warm welcome, lol, I was told that I’d get bashed here if I posted, so I guess that was wrong too. Regardless, last night, when browsing, I saw some fics that I haven’t heard of before, so I’m gonna go and check those out.

Nah, we've only truly bashed a few authors when they've arrived here, and that was because they wrote utter garbage, were on really high horses, and when they came here, flamed us for not worshipping their filth.
The staff tries to run a very, very fair show, just some people can't take it when they're told that their typo infested, HP/GW/HG/NT/BB independent, dark but light, Heir of Gryffindor story with manipulative!Dumbledore, Sirius rising from the dead, etc. fic is hard to read, and the plot reads out like a story book written for toddlers
Besides, didn’t someone say that everything’s already been said? All we can strive to accomplish is to put a bit of our own personalities in what we do, I think. .
Yeah thats the hard thing, 90%+ of the ideas that are believable in the HP world have been used at least once before somehow. I struggle with my fic often trying to come up with totally original ideas, to the point where I often get angry and don't write for weeks at a time. I've come up with a handful of totally original ones, but when I look at those, they almost see out of place when compared to the cliche world of HP fanon.

Ah, I know which ones you’re talking about. For me as a fan, those kinds of stories are my kryptonite. I can’t stand them. But then again, I don’t comment on them either since I don’t know if someone like that can take any criticism at all.

Exactly, that’s why I create a somewhat parallel [AU] reality for my ideas to work. Still, you have to use a lot of the old ideas to keep the story grounded close to cannon. It’s a pain, but that’s the closest I’ve been able to get to write an original idea without loosing the attention of everyone who’s reading at the same time.
I mean, that’s why the first chapter in any of my stories are so thick, if you can’t get through the first chapter, then you won’t get the rest of the plot. So it’s more of a filter than anything. At least I hope it is. lol.

Thanks! I think that the honesty bit was what made me post in the first place; it’s a bit difficult to find someone to tell you when you’ve screwed everything up. That’s why it’s so hard finding a Beta; most just tell you that everything great, mostly because they’re fans as well.
As for continuing with my fics, I’m on it. It’s been a bit hard after so much time, but stuff got in the way and I didn’t have as much time as I used to. Nevertheless, new chapters should be up in a matter of days, I’m already up to 3,500 words for the next chapter, and I always post about 6000, so I’m half way there, at least.
And I found you guys because someone found the link here, read my fic and decided to send me an email, asking to see if it was abandoned or what. So I’ve been talking to him via emails for a day or so and he mentioned finding my fic here. I asked for the link, and well, the rest is history, as they say.
In any case, thanks for the warm welcome, lol, I was told that I’d get bashed here if I posted, so I guess that was wrong too. Regardless, last night, when browsing, I saw some fics that I haven’t heard of before, so I’m gonna go and check those out.

Haha, yeah, Mid was right, it's rare that any authors come onto this site aftertheir story has been posted and praised/bashed. I think WhiteWitchDark, Bobmin, and IP82 came, the first two just gave one post and left basically telling us to screw off, and well, all of us praised IP82's work. And since you didn't yell at us or anything, we didn't take anything personally. I liked your story (seeing as I'm the one who posted it) and can't wait till you update! Welcome to DLP!

I found it all hilarious, I mean, just to quote a few comments:

so i'm guessing that you arent the resident hippie tree hugger person?......lol....theres nuthing wrong with a little love for the big rock we all livin on.....sounds like an intresting story btw...
I mean, they cracked me up something awful, and most of the comments were positive anyways, something that, mind you, was very surprising, especially with the preferred vibe of fic’s in this site. Meaning the ‘slaughter the Weasley slut,’ ‘take over the world,’ ‘kill all the fucking cannon characters in vicious a vicious,’ sort of thing. ‘Cause lets be frank, my story's a bit too ‘positive’ for all if you, lol.
Not that I mind though. I’m glad so many of y'all like it.
In any case I’m very close to updating, its been a bit hard to get into writing again, I’m and architect for cripes sake, so I do this more for fun then anything else. Again, thanks for the warm welcome! You’re sure to see me around quite a bit.

I still find it amusing that bobmin claim the reason most or sunset sucks beyond belief is that they're "trying to write something totally oppisite of what" they'd normally do. Yet they can't handle being told it sucks, its nothing but long drawn out angst sessions. *shrug*

Good, I hope you enjoy it! And get back to me on what you think and if there’s anything I could fix in it. It is a work in progress after all.
Good job on the newest chapter! I liked it, and if you want I'll fill the position of a beta-reader. =)
Thanks! I didn’t know I would get feedback so quickly, and I was half expecting some of the good old criticism that DLP.net is known for. Goodness knows I don’t get any of that in FF.net.
Anyways, like I said in my authors notes, you’re more then welcome to try Beta-ing if you can stand my nonsensical chatter for more than five minutes. Are you interested in going over the last chapters or would you like to start with the upcoming chapters. If I’m not much mistaken, I should have the next chapter of Emissary ready before the next weekend.
The next chapter of my Time-travel story should be up in a few days, so I could send you notice after I’m finished with that. In any case, get back to me and we can smooth out the details if you still want to give it a shot. Thanks for considering it, though.

I can go over the earlier chapters if you want, but there weren't too many errors in there. And just because I prefer the dark, and such doesn't mean I hate stories like that. I can deal with light stories. Its just the Harry/Ginny fluff that really kills a story for me, and most light stories like this involve H/G.

Yes, I know what you mean. Most of the stories out there would move up from god-awful to tolerable if they just dropped the sappy ships. But anyway, I tried to fix what’s been pointed out to me before posting this last chapter, like I used to write ‘wander’ instead of ‘wonder’ a lot, but that’s all fixed now.
And if you’re interesting in bouncing ideas for the next chapter, I’ll give it a try. I’m introducing something that I don’t know if it would work or not, but its one of my favorite subjects and been on my mind since I started this fic. Still, feedback doesn’t hurt, and I’ve already written a third of the next chapter, so it’s not beyond the realm of change.

Great chapter, you really are an excellent author. I'm going to have to go back to read the whole thing again because it has been a while and I forget what happened with the Vampires; and as for your grammar and such... If there are any problems just think of it the way I do... as authors we are crafting these stories from our own minds...they're our own creations and using unique grammar and spelling helps to give the reader a sense of ease and can sometimes help to pull the reader right into the story (figuratively of course). I don't know if this has crossed your mind before or not, but if you were to publish a novel, i'm sure it would surpass anything printed in recent years :D

I think you're confusing writing styles with grammar. Grammar is the syntax of any language, and should be adhered to. Style is good, but improper grammar is not. Nobody wants to read something they have to decipher first.

Thanks! I wouldn’t say that about myself in a million years, my writing is too moody sometimes to be any good, but its still fun to do when I have the time. Still, if you are reading everything again, do let me know if you find some plot holes and what not. I can never keep everything straight and I’ll probably have to start keeping notes of what happened in every chapter so I wont leave any loose ends.
I think you're confusing writing styles with grammar. Grammar is the syntax of any language, and should be adhered to. Style is good, but improper grammar is not. Nobody wants to read something they have to decipher first.
But I have to agree with Raven at this point. I write the words as I hear them some of the time, and although my grammar has improved greatly since I started writing, for someone who’s native language is English, all these grammar mistakes and structuring problems make it that much more difficult to understand. I know there are a lot of fic’s that I stop reading because of it, even if the plot is the best out there.
After all, if I’m going to learn anything, it’s not going to be from writing that has to be decrypted first. If I do that ill be starting to use abbreviations and slang in whatever I write.
No not writing styles, but now that you mention it; I would have been clearer to say punctuation and sentence structure.
Exactly.
Nice chapter. I didnt notice it had been updated until I came across it on the first page at FF.Net and it had another chapter.
Thanks! I bet you guys will like the next one better, since the action starts there. What could be more entertaining then watching Harry kicks something into submission, after all?

I've just finished reading through this and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The writing has its own distinctive style which I quite enjoy. Harry's anger at the Vampire meeting and his display of power, are in my opinion what this Harry Potter should be liked when confronting an enemy. Well done, I eagerly await for more

ha, I'm sure if there's anyone who can pull an massive veela encounter off without scaring anyone away, madeyes can.
No idea what took me so long to get to reading this. It's a fantastic piece of work, develops an entire universe ontop of HP. I need to read it more closely sometime again to get all the stuff you wrote in, but it's bloody amazing writing all the same. From the skimming of some chapters and reading others, so far, the logic and story development is impeccable.
I think quite a few people expressed distain at the low number of reviewers, but I think you should be really pleased at the number of quality reviewers you got. I mean you got one (actually more than one) from Fayr Warning!! I had the unnatural compulsion to read her work at least once every other day a while ago...that was very disturbing for me, mainly cause I couldn't put together why I loved it so much.
Anycase...good luck on your story.

Ah. See, there’s a problem with that. Most of my friends, sisters, some of my sister’s friends and even some of my young (12 year-old) cousins, read what I write. So I don’t think that you’ll see much, if any, sexual content in my stories. I will promise action, since It will start for real in the next chapter, but not more then that.
However, I will promise to open a new account, somewhere, in the near future and post a one shot, Veela bonding scene, if you want. I also plan to post darker stories there, but apart from Emissary, I have three more stories that I want to write and finish, including the other I started posting. Those, however, will have to wait until I finish this one to be posted, even though I sometimes write to them to clear my mind of plot bunnies.

Thanks! And don’t worry, you’ll get to see more of that Harry soon, I just need to set the foundations of his development a bit more solidly. His behavior will completely differ from the one in HBP because of the current circumstances, and seeing as I’ll use some of that book after he arrives in school, then I need to make sure that you all actually know why he is acting the way he is.
As I said before, you’ll see some action in the next chapter (11) and even though I will start setting some of the limitations of his new abilities there, it should be entertaining none the less.

Right, like I said. It’s not going to happen, so the girls need not be offended.

Yeah, thanks for the vote of confidence. I mean, if anything, I think you’ll find that particular encounter more humorous than naught. But don’t worry, I have some good plans for how Veela magic works, and I’m kind of doing my own thing with it, and not following what everyone has written about them thus far. In any case, it will not happen for some time yet, and maybe not even in this story, but the sequel.
Anyways, Thanks you. Really. I’m glad that you’ve been able to enjoy what I’ve written thus far, I just hope that I can meet, if not surpass, your current expectations of this story. I have to say though. It’s beginning to become hard to keep everything straight. At this point, I’m finding myself in the position of having to go back again and read every chapter, making an outline of everything in the general plot, the subplots, and the side stories so that I don’t leave loose ends and that the things that I do leave unsaid are the ones that I want to leave unspoken.
It will be a challenge, that’s for sure. Albeit a fun one…
As for the reviews, well, I really love the ones I’m getting and I wouldn’t change them for any 1000 “great, update” reviews out there. I mean, when I say that I have the best readers out there, I mean it. The reviews I get are long and descriptive about what was liked and such, and I really appreciate them. As for those from Fayr Warning, well, I’ve been a groupie of her story since the first chapter, so I’ve talked to her before; Something that I should do again, since its taking so long for her to update.
In any case, thanks again to all of your comments, although I wouldn’t mind a few telling me if there is anything wrong with the story. I could use the criticism, like the one I received when I didn’t actually post here. lol. Those where always amusing, and so much better that that flame I got in FF.net, which, if anyone asks, I’ll post, so you can enjoy it as much as I do.
Cheers!

Yeah, it’s under the name Aethonon (I had an extra account for my favorite stories, which I just cleared out) and I’m planning on writing a one-shot to christen it. Any suggestions? I have a few bunnies running around, but nothing that has caught my fancy enough to chase them down.

Meh, me either. I talk to much and can never find a good end for them. In any case, if I find a good enough idea, Im willing to give it a try.
Oh! And you should all keep your eyes open for an update on saturday. I thought I should liven up the new years a bit. Furthur, if you're all good, maybe you'll see and update next year as well. :wink:

Looks like a transitional chapter and I see that you have introduced Charlie so I think we have an idea what you may be up to. That's all I'll say. Some good writing intermixed with classic "youth is vigor"or resilence in this case and "wise beyond years" stuff that could be cliche, but necessary and part of the story in this case. Not quite as interesting as Harry's encounter with the vampire clan leaders but decent read all the same. Keep up the good work. (Posted as review on ff.net)

Yeah, I know. It’s because the chapter ended up longer than what I had planned, and the ending scenes of the episode would have been too rushed for my tastes if they were added. So I published this first, and I'm augmenting the next scenes for a better over all plot development. Still, this means that the next chapter is more then halfway done and I’m currently working on it at the moment. As far as I’m concerned, this chapter and plot section is still vastly incomplete. While, like you mentioned, the meeting with the vampires had been planned to finish where it did.
Anyways, I should point out that yes, I used the ‘resilience of youth’ connotation, but I have not, in any instance pointed out that he is wise beyond his years. Just more conscious and mature then what a 15-16 year old would be in this day and age. He will make mistakes, even if he is trying very hard to avoid them, but he will eventually make them, and trust me, it’ll be a doozy.
Thanks for your comments and be sure to look for the next chapter, since it’ll have more action the than all the previous ones. Cheers!

You're right, It was “Then you are wiser then most, Harry Potter,” must have lumped it together with the youth scene, mehe.

I kinda gave up after the first chapter of this one - it's a mite too flowery for my tastes. And I think I've got way too many WiPs I'm drooling over updates for at the moment to take on another one, especially one with so many damn adjectives.
*goes back to writing tenth chapter of AST*

Everyone says that about the first chapters of this story. It gets less 'flowery' as the story goes on. Nothing flowery about vampires, eh?

oh yeah. The vampire chapter was the bomb. ff.net definitely need more orginal interpretations of these undead.

Howdy Madeye. I just stumbled across these postings for your story and remembered it. It was one of my favorite reads. Though my tastes have grown darker, I'm still a fan. Glad to know that it's up and running again. I have seen a few authors copying your ideas, especially the ancesters hall, and intergreting them into their own stories. They have no originality at all. Some of the cliches in your story do bug me a bit (harry teaching as an example). I used to go by the name Axelalx on Fanfiction.net before I had an account and I still stand by what I said in a review for chapter nine. Now my rather annoying rambling is done.

Well, I'm glad you still like it. I know this story spent a while in suspended animation, after all. Anyways, I don’t know who used the name of the ancestor’s hall, but I don’t really mind, that was its simpler name, and since the chapter where it will be explained, its complete history and its shape, hasn’t been posted yet, anything they say about it will be guesswork.
As for the teaching thing, well, I thought it was the easiest way to start influencing the wizarding world without actually having to give it a kick in the ass. Remember, Harry will be teaching his professors, Dumbledore and world renowned witches and wizards, and some select students. So it won’t be like every other story where he is going to be his friends' teacher and what not. Hermione is the only candidate I have to participate in his class for his year, but that’s still up in the air. It will all depend on how their relationship develops from here on out.
Anyways, thanks for reading, a new chapter should be done in the near future, since I only have close to 1000 words left to write, so keep on the look out. Oh! And you should know, Pink, the first chapters are flowery for a reason. lol :wink:

And we're to listen to such an obvious intellectual cripple as yourself? I find this story to be one of a few good stories left being actively updated. Don't talk out of your ass and expect to be praised for it, as it does belong on DLP, and it will stay here. It's a well written story with a plot, and interesting ideas, even if the first few chapters are a bit slow, the later chapters are works of gold. In any case I'd certainly like to see you produce better.

I agree with Lord Ravenclaw, I really like this story (one of my favorites) sure some of the first few chapters are flowery but they're very well writen and personally I'd like to see you do better.

Your opinion is your own, but when you know that the author of the fic is a regular poster on this site, do you really have to be so obnoxious and flaming? I can understand when the story is absolutely horrible, and there is no excuse for it, but this story is one of the best in the fandom. And the use of the term "gayest" is not only immature, it's hurtful. And you really didn't give any reason for calling it bad, other than the fact that it was slow. And, in my opinion, it wasn't that slow. You don't like it? Great. You want to post and tell us that it wasn't to your liking? Great. Just give us some damn reasons before unreasonably flaming both the site and the story.
Not all the fics on this site are "dark." The name is just for the general attitude and likes of the posters on this site. This story is under the forum, Godlike Harry Potter Fics, and it is indeed a Godlike Harry Potter.
And, damn that hurt my IQ to read that post. Please, next time, capitalize your I's and use some fucking periods.

See, that there is reason enough to love this forum. Where else can you get flamed to your face like that? I can’t help but enjoy this place; it always provides me with a great source of enjoyment and gives me warm fuzzy feelings in my stomach, like a particularly good dinner. Anyways, I must commend you Black Man Walking, since yours is the best flame I’ve ever received. Mind you, I really don’t care if you find my story boring given that I wasn’t writing it for you, but your comments at least made some sort of sense, something that I can’t say about the other flames I have received. Who knows maybe I’ll even print it and put it in the office mural? My friends should enjoy it as much as I do.
However. If you plan on slighting my writing, maybe elucidating your own reasoning to us lesser authors would be more appropriate than splaying your own ineptitude across written words and thus allowing your own incompetence to show, don’t you think?
I will even go as far as to suggest that you first learn the language before attempting to utilize it again, considering your own abysmal use and desecration of it. Alas, I can hope for criticism and willingly ask for an in-depth analysis of my writing, be it in a positive or negative light, but comments like yours make me wonder if my hope has been misplaced. Still, know that you are my best flamer to date, but please, don’t insult me with such idiocy again. If you truly don’t like the story, excellent, but if you intend to speak about your dislike of it, or any other work of literature, then I ask that you explain your reasoning when you seek to share your opinions and don’t refrain from using what little intellect you may hold, as you did in this occasion.
As for the rest of you lot, lol. Thank you. I greatly appreciate your efforts, indeed; maybe I should take some pruning sheers and make the first chapters a bit less flowery, eh? And although I still think it’s the best way to introduce this particular universe, any suggestions are welcome. Not that I’ll guarantee to listen to any of them, mind you, but hey, they will still be well received.
In any case, I think that’s all for now. Cheers!

LOL. Black Man Walking is getting his ass kicked. this made me laugh too long.
But seriously your writing is one of the best i've seen so far. however i really don't like the fact that the earth itself is reaching out to an individual. I mean come on, this is harry out of the whole world. besides mother earth is just that, a mother that gives us birth and nutrients to strive from. i pretty much stoped reading the story after harry reaches the elfs people i think. i dunno i can;t remember since i read this so long ago. And since alot of people like this story, good luck to you and the rest of the fic.

Maybe you should have paid more attention in elementary school when they taught you how to read and write, then.

Dude, did you forget that you have already said that?
I understand, I mean how could you know that you have already said that three days ago :O_O: Who could possibly remember something for that length of time? That is like 288 times the length of time that a Goldfish could remember and they are like the Einstein's of the desert! I might as well ask you what you first saw when you were born. Not only that but only six people have zinged you about your first post and you were only quoted twice and named three times. No it is entirely our fault that you have forgotten. One of us should have PMed you every hour on the hour to remind you of what you have already posted, shame on us!
To everyone else I say do not attempt to save him from his perpetual state of stupidity, the poor man cannot even remember his statements let alone recognize and learn from them.
On a side note I am starting a betting pool on how long it takes Black Man Walking to forget both of his posts and post the same thing again. Winner gets a Whore/Herman Torture Gift Basket and a coupon good for three rolls of Brawny paper towels.

Back on topic though, I read this story a while back and I have to say I really liked it. At first it was a bit too light and fluffy but after that it got really good. Oh and by the way, man was that Vampire chappie great. I don't really like the whole guardians of the earth thing (forgotten their names :oops: ) but it works and thats what matters.
I think it would be interesting to see you do Werewolves next or maybe Acromantulas but its your story so its your decision.
