    Title: Danger, Magic and Romance
    Author: Fenhir
    Rating: PG13
    Summery: Post-OoTP. Harry will go through what will possibly be the greatest adventure of his life and no one can stop him. A story of explosive action, breath-taking adventure and heart melting romance. If he survives this, nothing will be the same. Read&Review

    P.S. Starting from chapter two, there will be a problem with the apostrophes which the wauthor will explain in chapter four.

    I bit the bullet and read this. It's only 12k words and four chapters, and hasn't had an update in four years.

    It's a typical, post-OotP indy!Harry story, with multiple cliches, weak characterization all around, and no drama whatsoever. Harry goes on the run from the Ministry almost immediately, and somehow turns himself into a formidable wizard overnight. Despite constant action in all four chapters, the narration is dull and boring. It seems like it was written in a massive hurry.

    TL; DR: It's not library-worthy. 2/5

    This, I was going to write out a review detailing the mistakes when I noticed you said everything was spot on Mike. Not much more can be said about it.

    It's not library-worthy, and it gets a 2/5 rating from me.

    All right, so I am away for a few days and come back to see there are about three-fucking-hundred new posts in the interim, about half of which are from some new shit post-whore by the name of Scrittore.

    This same new shit Scrittore is apparently somehow skin-welded to darklordmike's cornhole, because nearly every time I see one of this new fuck's arguably meaningless posts, it is immediately preceeded by a shockingly similar post from darklordmike.

    Look, I'm all for new people coming in and adding to the discussion; this is a great and addictive site, I'll grant you. Hell, I've been here less than a year my own self. But for fuck's sake, you don't have to post in every single thread and make me start to hate the fucking Marx Brothers.

    I cannot be the only one feeling this way.

    You probably are.

    Maybe you haven't noticed yet or read the (extremely noticeable) notice, but the forum has been updated with new features specifically designed to make tracking down stories below library-worthiness.

    So the library is getting it's long-awaited merciless purge. This is what the administrators and Lord Ravenclaw, who coded everything, intended.

    Just read Andro's post above. Honestly, don't be pissed at me because some of us are actually taking the time to help purge the Library. I could give two shits about posts, and besides I'm going to lose posts when threads with stories of dead links are deleted.

    Honestly, know what's going on before you run your mouth off.

    Considering this is what Raven wanted when he added a neglected list, I have to say I agree with Andro here.

    I don't do apologies well, especially to people I still don't care for, but when I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and I'm big enough to admit it.

    I was wrong, and I apologize.

    When I visit DLP, I go directly to the New Posts tab, and indulge my OCD by trying to at least skim all the HP-related threads with new posts. Well, when I came by and saw three-plus pages of new posts, and the previously unkown name Scrittore was the latest poster on a fuck-ton of them, I did what I usually ream folks out for doing: I reacted and posted before finding out WTF was happening. Anyway, that's my explanation, and my apology. And now I go to see if I can be of any assistance with these neglected stories.

    Just don’t forget you’re a ’new shit’ yourself.
