    Title: Avada Kedavra
    Author: Senyor Fier Mensheir
    Rating: T
    Genre: Supernatural
    DLP Category: Dark Arts/Independent
    Pairing: None
    Status: Complete
    Summary: Having been deprived of his basic rights, as well as his rights as a child, Harry Potter decides to deprive others of such rights as well, most especially the right to live and exist. DarkHarry. Yr 1 of Dark Curses Series
    Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5827366/1/Avada_Kedavra

    I've already finished this story, and the rest of the Dark Curses series, and find it to be an intriguing tale all alone. It fits the author's style of writing, although there are a few areas where I can see need for improvement. That being said, Senyor Fier Mensheir's stories all tend to be alike in style of writing- and they are usually well written.

    I found Avada Kedavra to be a more darker tale of the "Dark Harry" genre, dips into the author's own imagination, while bringing up intriguing styles of magic and ideals. That being said, I give it a somewhere between 3.8-4.5 out of 5, depending upon certain areas throughout the story getting different ratings for how well thought out or written they were.

    From the first chapter:

    Why would you want to pollute DLP with disgusting waste like this? It's not even worth the bother to dissect it. :facepalm


    0/5 for this shitfic and a loud GTFO! for you.

    Basically what Taure said. At first a bad case of "tell, not show" with the abuse, then one memory which seems to explain all(or at least to much) about magic to Harry and thats where I wanted to hit the red X.

    But then I saw a particular interesting scene, where a Police officer wants to strangle Harry because he doesn't care that his relatives are dead.

    A Police officer... WTF.

    1/5

    It seems like a nine-year old is writing it. Seriously.

    The police officer bit is wtf... as Harry not caring his relatives are dead could be his way of coping through it - not that it is - but the police officer must know about the whole disbelief/denial/not caring ways of dealing with things.

    0/5.

    Pretty sure I read the first chapter of this when I first started reading fanfiction. I couldn't get past the first chapter then and my standards are just a bit higher now.

    1/5.

    I suspect it's someone for whom English isn't their first language. It's not an excuse, granted, but a possible explanation. The author's chronic inability to use commas along with a pathological fear of active construction make it incredibly dull writing that is a chore to read.

    1/5. I left a review to try to help the author, though it doesn't seem to appear on the site. Odd.

    While what you say might account for the grammatical errors and poor sentence construction, his plot line and character development[which should not be affected by language barriers] are classic symptoms of the first-time writer.

    1/5 for me.

    I'm usually wary of stories that have 'part xx of the xxx series/saga/bullshitting', in their title/summary.

    Again, the above is a good reason why.

    Jesus baby-nigger-motherfuckin' Christ.

    I read this a long time ago.

    This one is actually better than the sequels.

    Go for it. :)

    I would use it meself, but my baby-Jesus-loving brotherly friends would be offended if it ever gets back to them. They taught ebonics, you see... ;)
