    I couldn't find this fic anywhere amongst the threads.

    Has an OOC Hermione but over all the plot development is very good. Author has imported characters from one of his own original works which works out quite well. It picks up slowly after initial excitement. You will have to read quite a bit into it to develop interest.
    Angst Harry but tolerable.

    Good read.
    4.5/5

    I remember reading this a few years back, in my pre-DLP days when Portkey, to my eternal shame, was my only source of fanfiction. It was great, and indeed was in my sig a few weeks back. Certainly worth a read, it is long, well written and an interesting idea. From memory 3.5 -4 /5.

    The summary alone puts me off reading it. "Time wolf"? insta-fail.

    Time-wolf wasn't that bad Blaise. Been a while since I read it, but from what I recall, 3/5. It was OK, but nothing spectacular.

    I, too, read this many a year ago. I believe I got as far as chapter two before I gave up. 2/5.

    Do not feel ashamed my good man, when I first started reading Harry Potter, I only read off of Mugglenet. :wall: :O_O: Now thats something to be ashamed of...

    Same here. It's amazing how you think you've stumbled onto something amazing, then when you read the works of talented authors you're like "why didn't I read THIS stuff first?!":confused:

    EDIT: @Oz - "Time wolf". Say that shit out loud, right now. It's almost as faggy as saying "Ginslut" out loud :p

    Also, is it me or is Alec Potter trying to up his post count rather quickly?

    From memory, I gave up after reading not more than three chapters of this pile of rubbish.

    Nothing really different from your standard Indy-Harry-Gets-A-Mentor fic, and the plot devices like the Time Wolf are terrible.

    Not even the H/Hr pairing could make me stomach this one. 2/5

    Time Wolf, ahahahahahahahahaha

    And He-Man > Time Wolf, bitches.

    Also, How hot was She-Ra? Am I right or am I right?

    Although Cheetara could give her a run for her money.

    Of course, that goes without saying.

    Biker Mice from Mars beat anything.

    Read this one quite some time and it was.....tolerable. I'll give it a 3/5


    That freaky little rabbit thing named Buckwheat was the ultimate!

    It's Grayskull, damnit! Yeah, I'm bit of a He-Man fanboy.

    And nuhuh, She-Ra pwns Cheetara.

    As for the story, it fails. Reasons? The Time Wolf and this:

    You are in the village of Vlaine, in the forest of Noyadin. The forest of the elves.”
