Although Tom's other stories are way better, this deserves a solid 5 for being the best story out there that tried to continue the mess left by the half-baked plot into a seventh year story.

 

Any other opinions?

 

Being Post HPB horcrux-hunt and NOT being HG is already good enough for me to get a mug of tea, sit in my favourite armchair, forget about everything and start reading.

 

I'll read this because I like a HPLL time killer just as much as anyone else, but I'm not a fan of the post HBP mess that is seemingly and rarely incurable.

EDIT: So I open the page and already have an issue with the grammar. Prolog? Funny thing is, I always thought it was spelled with an E at the end. *does extensive search via online dictionaries* I was right, it IS spelled with an E at the end. Just hope the rest of the story is not plagued with grammatical errors.

 

Actually Sinner, its 'ue' at the end. Prologue.

 

Okay, so I read it, and I can't bring myself to finish the second chapter. I think I have tried to read this before, and failed worse then last time.

1/5

EDIT: Woops... guess I really should have looked at those spellings better. Damn I sound like an idiot now. *Tries to blend into the crowd.*

 

"prolog" is a legitimate alternate spelling of "prologue". I looked it up in the Merriam Webster dictionary online. Besides, we all misspell something sooner or later. One misspelled word is not worth the characetrs we've used to discuss it.

Although I like much of what Meteoricshipyards has done, I hate Horcrux hunts. I hate Horcrux hunts more than any other kind of HP fanfic.

 

While people can acknowledge him for attempting it, it doesn't make it any more enjoyable to read. The writing was good, but I wasn't compelled to read beyond the first couple of chapters.

Oh, and the prolog.

 

it's decently written, but honestly any kind of post-HBP story is a mess to start with....

anyway, 4/5

Ps: Prolog is the closer spelling of the ancient greek base. No idea why he doesn't use the modern english version but it's not a typo.
and before you bitch it's similar to some authors writing "finis" at the end of their stories, a tad strange but legitimate

 

Heh. I shall start reading at once.

Considering the premise of this story is Romance. +1

Harry/Luna Lovegood +2

Post!HBP with decent grammar and writing style +1

I thereby give this a 4/5.

*My AP teachers always said it is more fitting to reward for what they have done right, then detract for what they did wrong*

I guess it fits in with essays a whole lot better.

 

What's Harry's character like? Is he up to DLP minimum standards? Or at least an improvement on canon in terms of competance?

 

If I wasn't to sick to do anything but stare at the computer, I would not be on chapter 12. This really isn't a good fic, it isn't bad, but it has nothing that makes me want to go to the next chapter except the idea of just how fucking dull life will get should my mouse wander to the big red X.

It's a 3/5. Not bad, but not worthy of the Library.

Edit:

No.
