    Yeah, well, I forgot to read all the way through before posting. I found something to post to, and posted. I then read further, and found another thing to post about. Sorry if I have displeased your highness.

    Accidents happen. So lighten up.

    Meh, Darth was a little harsh there, but, yes, he's right. Shab, just remember to use the edit button, then we'll all be happy.

    I thought DarthBill was a Darth and Dark Lord Rostam was an Highness. Or would you call him an Darkness? or most Highess of the Dark Ones?
    curious :?:

    This story's "okay". Not in the "above average" though. As Midknight said, it starts out good in the beginning and starts going downhill from there...kinda like Metallica after the Black album...

    This was one of the first fanfics I have ever read. The first being by Kateydidnt or something; another Azkaban fic, anyway.

    I really liked it when it first came out, but its been slipping. Blot's talenten enough to bring it back, but it seems like he is concentrating on humor.

    Who knows, maybe he can still do it.

    4/5 at beginning.

    2.8/5 when it started sucking.

    3.4/5 total.

    What i like about this one is how hwe plays on the stupidity of the Hogwarts crew.
    They honestly believes he honestly wants to return, they bend over backwards to accomodate him and he just ripping them off bigtime.
    He has already stolen the little ray of potion sunshine, copied the library, and gotten his hands on the shards of the Philosophers' stone and now he's pulling his troops out and the Hoggers won't even know what happened 'til it's too late.
    A nice turn on the Returnscenario. I agree the tempo is winding down too much in the later chapters, but i still want to see what happens next!

    in all azkaban reads
    he ether escapes or he is found inocent and goes and forgives he friends

    but i find that bullshit
    i prefer the"destroy hogwarts" idea
    i might include that in one of my new storys

    One of the very best Harry/Azkaban fics, there is room for improvement, but it clobbers most of the H/A fics. 4/5

    There has been a new chapter posted. Its not bad but it is written in a different style than the earlier chapters but I think he might be updating more. The chapter is about Hermiones birthday and there is some about Marcus Flint.

    It's readable now.

    I'm nearly offended by the Omakes. I'm surprised R's Blot allowed them to see the light of day.

    Ugh.

    In the first three chapters Harry gains the confidence to cut himself off from Dumbles,

    cleverly eluded the Order (not so clever the Order must be fucking idiots.)

    Goes to Gringotts to receive his inheritance,

    Inherits 25 Family Fortunes, gains a bajillion galleons,

    gains servants who sole purpose in life is to do his bidding to the point of sleeping on the floor because he didn't say she could sleep in a bed.

    Takes an entire chapter for a shopping trip to Diagon where the author painstakingly describes everything Harry buys,

    tells Dumbles to go fuck off,

    gains a Library with all books ever written,

    and has a legion of followers that ignore the fact that he's completely ignorant just because he's "the heir"



    The amount of cliche just hurts my mind


    Fail.

    2/5 at best for the length and the fact that it's not H/G...it's Herman but i've given up on it and I don't know how Herman handles Harry.



    If it were up to me this wouldn't be in the Library, especially with the lack of updates.

    There aren't very many good Azkaban fics out there but this is in the top ten, unfortunately. My final rating is 3.5/5

    While judging this fic please don't forget that once it was started - in 2004 - the cliches you complain about weren't cliches yet.

    In fact it once was a original story, especially describing Azkaban as an independent entity and powerbase for Harry. Because it is unfinished the story outlived itself. Nowadays it's just average among the huge number of various indy!Harry fics. Though - the way Rorschach describes Azkaban is still rather unique.

    If you skim through the library for old fics you have to bear in mind that - even if they once were original - their ideas and plotelements have later been used over and over again by other authors, who more often than not took most of their ideas from stories like this.

    A huge number of fics in the library have a similar background - among them some of the best stories out there, never finished and eventually abandoned. Think of Rosswrock's Power of Time. Of course the Mods could clean the library of all these stories - but then it would cut its roots and only collect what's up to date right now.
