    Summary: It's 2200, and the world has known peace for hundreds of years. Now, a dark power thought to be destroyed is returning, and the world shall find itself woefully unprepared. Meanwhile, at Hogwarts, an interesting artifact is found by a young first year.
    Link: Return (FicWad); Return (FFN)

    Interesting. Caught this while reading another story in review and thought this has definite potential. At the moment, definitely Acceptable; will reserve BPAdvisory judgement for when there's much more up however. Nice writing technique, definitely very good at building an atmosphere to get involved with and a very grabbing start, as far as I'm concerned. May be a bit crazy to start in the year 2200, I'm sure some of you are thinking but give it a spin; I haven't noticed any crazy futuristic crap yet and Siberia is still a wasteland apparently :).

    Very good at writing; let's hope the plot follows.



    Edit by Minion, December 17, 2016
    Taure removed the story from ff.net. The Ficwad link still works, and the story can also be found spread all over Harry Potter Work by Author here on DLP.

    It's a bit early to call, but IMO good so far and as bioplauge says he has a good writing technique,thrilling. I'm not sure if it is harry centric though...

    Its okay definitely not up to par with some fics around here but definitely better already that half the fics on ff.net. Its way too early to tell much but it does have potenial. The idea I dont think I have seen before so its gets props for that.

    The ending part was a little too much like LotR for my taste but for the most part it was a good start.

    I would like to see if my suspicions of the diary is anyway accurate.

    In that thing you call a closet. Better watch out,
    I know this is a large bump, but I wanted to review, and show Taure something. In chapter 2, when Arctarus is reading the diary, you say Dumbledore might have dealt the final blow to Voldemort.

    But, you also say that everyone who came out of the veil were killed by Voldemort. Voldemort never killed Dumbledore, and I thought you might want to clarify that. Is that a mistake, or does it include people that Voldemort had killed?

    Other then that, this is an excellent story so far, and I'm looking forwards to some later updates.

    I might be mistaken, but I'm sure that Siberia isn't nice any time of the year.

    I looked it up on Wiki, apparently it gets damn hot there in the summer. Weird, I know. Anyway, I wanted it to be cold, so I'll call it Global Warming or somesuch. Lol.

    Wow...hmm...thats a biggie. Time to do a JKR...

    Yeah...I meant to write it like that. See, even though Voldemort didn't actively kill him, he was still the architect of his death, and so it still counted...

    /me shifts a bit.

    ANYWAY

    I'm planning to write more of this today, but first I need to go over what I've written already and edit it a bit...add more description, close off plot holes, stuff like that. I feel especially that the ending of the last chapter was a bit rushed.

    Taure a question. Might sound dumb but...

    This fic isnt Harry centric is it?
     
  14. Intresting and engaging fic so far. OC's are rather well written. Looking forward to future chapters.

    Greatest chapter yet. Finally Harry is back. Awesome scenes like use of vampiric magic, Harry's defeat, and of course beautiful rebirth. I hope the next update would be sooner and with Harry's action. Great work as always, Taure. This is my favorite fic ATM.

    Good stuff. What about his wand? Did he do something so that it comes back to him?

    Oh, and will anyone recognize the name Harry Potter?

    I think his original wand might be confiscated by the Ministry. But if I was Harry, I would store some compatible wand in the cave after anchoring his spirit to the lake.

    I doubt common people will recognize his name - seeing as even Lord Voldemort was an unfamiliar name for Arctarus. Ministry high up's might know after digging in archives and Dark Wizards such as Cain might also recognize him.

    I think that apart from some awesome Harry-kicking-some-ass we will confront a mystery - why people forgot major part of their history. Was that a cover-up as Arctarus suggested?

    It is pretty messed up. I mean I know its possible to forget your history like in the Dark Ages but I dont see that happening in this fic.

    I wanna see what all happened after Harry killed Voldemort.
