    I just read Somewhat Lost (got to remind you kids what story is being referred to what with all the randomness that is the DLP...) and I have found it to be one of the better reads I have read in quite a long time.

    Is it just me, or has it been hard to come by good fanfiction these days?

    I was going to post this, and the sequel, but forgot about doing that for some reason. I don't know how much identifying with one of your characters means to other writers, but it means a lot to me, and I think probably in his (Majestrix) case too because he himself is black.

    I think this story is probably the best (which I guess isn't say a whole lot considering there are so few but still...) HP/AJ romance on the site. I've tried to read others but never reached the level of satisfaction with those that I did with Somewhat Lost and it's sequel, Somewhat Found. Not a terribly long fic, but the sequel makes up for that. I actually just PMed him today about an update to Somewhat Found, and he promises a next chapter "soonish". I'm excited.

    Dialogue is so great in this, as is both Harry and Angelina's characterizations. Especially Angelina...there is just something about her...her sullenness is just so without her being too sappy. Anyways, 4.5/5 for me.

    EDIT: Hmmm...boy I need my coffee. I just realIzed I've already posted in this thread.

    Heh, I've contemplated deleting that post on a couple occasions before, because I didn't want it to be taken the wrong way (again, I didn't mean anything whatsoever by the comment at all other than just a general factual observation). Since I never did remove the comment, I suppose I was almost inviting someone to see it and respond to it. Given the whole 'after class tomorrow' part, I would guess that I posted it right before bed one night when my circuits were somewhat fried. Well, if someone is going to think less of me for it, then I guess there's nothing for it. I did in fact read the fic and enjoyed it, as well as his other one, the title to which escapes me at the moment because it's been awhile. I certainly liked the pairings much more than the typical cliched H/Ginny, H/Hermione crap that infests the fandom. I value originality more than anything else.
