    A very good Stargate Atlantiscrossover with bits of Torchwood and Dr who
    up to 8 chapters with a good update rate well worth reading

    I rate this one 5/5

    This is a fic I've been following since it began. It's a unique twist on both the HP/SG:Atlantis crossover and the Wrong Boy-Who-Lived idea. The idea sounds horrible at first, but it's actually turned out very well so far.

    5/5

    I started it, but wasn't able to even get to the Stargate part.

    Torchwood sucks monkey poo. I don't like any of the characters, they're all too Mary-Sue like. And Harry is a little shit in this too.

    I started it, and really wanted to read it, but this person can't write Torchwood. I also didn't get to the Stargate bit. I might try again when I'm in a more forgiving mood, but I've just seen too many "wrong BWL" fics to care. And when the author can make Torchwood that uncool, it's a lost cause.

    my beef with this is that is Harry who is like 17 when he gets into the stargate part, talks and acts like he is 12 for no real reason.

    Yeah, I had no idea wtf Torchwood is or was (and still don't) so I just kinda scanned over those parts. Really, they could left that aspect out, but /shrug

    Once you get past that it gets pretty good. Harry isn't as proactive as a lot of folks here at DLP would like though. I can see why based on his upbringing, but still. It does get a bit annoying at times.

    Torchwood is a spin-off of the classic British sci-fi Doctor Who.

    Anyway, I decided to have another bash at this fic, skipping over the torchwood part, and it's OK. Not revolutionary, but it holds the attention.

    3/5
