    Abandoned Dark Respite by Omagic - M

    For what it's worth, I appreciate Seer's comment. That there hasn't been an update in this forum for a few months is my fault because I'm an asshole who hasn't updated my fic. Nonetheless, I can't see any genuine justification for not be allowed to post what amounts to a "review" in a library thread for a fic. It is, after all, the main reason that the threads are created. Further, is it really such an annoyance to be bothered by clicking a link, seeing a one line post, and then...

    Thanks to Korisovra, LuxDragon, and J22 for leaving a response, they are all appreciated! I think it's awesome the response Filmore has gotten throughout this fic! I never really expected there to be a good response to him on account of having to force a muggle character into the magical side of the Potter universe. Still, he was a really fun and easy character to write (well, aside from trying to keep his speech characteristics consistent). As for the "carnage" action scene in ch. 13...

    ...an interesting note. Chapter 13 was rejected at harrypotterfanfiction.com because it was "offensive and disgusting". In particular the line about Hermione "finger painting with her feces over the soon to be dead body of Ron Weasley." was required to be removed...at least the finger painting with her feces part. The interesting thing is I've used references to people playing with their poo in DR over and again as a moniker for excessive insanity. Actually, the line about Hermione...

    Chapter 13 - Recipe for Disaster Chapter 13 has been posted. Sorry it took so long between chapters, this one was a bit hard to write, but I hope I handled it properly and I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say. Chapter 14 is about 2500 words in and as usual will be shooting for the 7 to 9k mark. Hopefully it will be out much quicker than this one. Review you surly bitches!:whipped: Cheers, Omagic A new low, I've resorted to emoticons.

    Thanks IP82 and Testament! Particularly for the nods on the Voldemort scene. I was really unsure how that would go over, but it's always seemed to me that Voldemort's reasons for being the big bad were never touched on in canon (and really not that often in fanfiction). I've never really gotten off on the "I'm bad just because..." characterization. And now that DH is written and the HP story complete, I was really disappointed that JKR didn't take on telling us why V was bad...in my mind...

    Chapter 12 - Why Finally the next chapter of Dark Respite has been posted to fanfiction.net (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3531310/12/Dark_Respite). Sorry for the inexcusable delay. Can't say this is my favorite chapter, but the last three promise (or hope to promise) lot's more action goodiness. Look forward to reading your responses. I'll post the fic to the Work By Author's section as usual. Though with the story now being on ff.net this may not be necessary anymore. I'll...

    Chapter 12 Teaser It's been too fucking long since I've made mention of any updates to this fic! Real life has been like felating a syphilitic cow these days and hasn't left all that much time for writing. First off, if you've not read the fic because you didn't want to be bothered with a yahoo group, I"m posting the story at fanfction.net now.

    Kunisch, As it says on the Yahoo Group most times it just requires that you refresh your browser or sometimes closing and restarting the browser in order to get the chapter file links to work properly. I don't know why, I chalk it up to Yahoo being stupid and hating me. Still under the presumption that you wouldn't have bothered leaving a message if you hadn't already tried the above options I am sending you an email with the files attached. EDIT: you have it so that emails cannot...

    Copied from Yahoo Group IP82, Let me start off by saying thanks for this really great post. As a writer yourself you know that some of the most valuable feedback is when it discusses how your writing has progressed (or fallen off) from earlier stages! Many thanks for that. It is my intent to eventually put this fic on Fanfiction.net. Of course that's after I've nearly completed it and all of you have hopefully damn near finished reading it. I do of course also update the fic in...

    Stalicon, Thanks! I always thought the unintentional comedy level in the fact that the great Chamber of Secrets was hidden beneath the girls bathroom, and even more held within it a giant freakin' snake was too often overlooked. If JKR were a man, there would have been hoards of people up in arms about the fallic symbolism and the pedophilic undertones in that combination (or is that just how my sick mind works). I figure since I am a guy, despite my wife's best efforts to take that...

    Posted a teaser for Chapter 9 in the WBA section as well as at the yahoo group. Thanks for reading. And thanks for the move to the "official" Independant Harry forum. It's like christmas come early (I now squee like fangirl and head off to braid my hair and write about how super great this moment is in my extra secret journal). Sorry, too much peppermint these days. Thanks for approving of the story enough to move it over to the Library. Sincerely. Omagic

    Kahoisha, Unfortunately, sometimes the yahoo groups websites have hiccups as you work from chapter to chapter. 9 times out of 10 all it takes is to refresh your browser, or to close out your browser and reload it, for the links to work again. I just checked the links and they seem to be working fine for me. I wish that Yahoo would address this problem, but it's been that way for as many years as I've been reading fanfiction at those sites. Not sure what to say about the religious...

    nuhuh, Sorry for the delay in responding. Thanks for your input and I'm glad you found the story thus far entertaining. I'm relieved to hear that the Sal Slytherin backstory didn't seem too contrived (to at least one person). As for the speech mannerisms that Slytherin currently has, it's probably a combination of things that lead to the lack of consistancy. One, I definitely try to imbue a snarky and sometimes more current speech pattern for him. In the backstory chapter the way...

    Ineedbettername, Thanks for reading, and thanks for taking time to say that you liked it! IP82, So are you saying DR is like that really dumb girlfriend or boyfriend that you keep around because the "action" is good? I feel so used...yet...I'm ok with it. I think of DR Harry as excessively reckless, but I might be biased... Thanks for reading and taking the time to write another reply. Omagic

    Dark Respite Update - Chapter 8 I guess updating to this forum might be a bit redundant since I'm also putting the chapters in the work by author forum. But in case anyone is reading the story at the Yahoo Group (which it reads a little better on due to the appearance of italicized text where appropriate) I'll add a post here to note that I've updated the fic. Happy Thanksgiving, have a safe and fun holiday. I look forward to reading any comments you wish to share. Cheers,...

    One of the things that I always kept as a priority since I started writing/sharing fanfiction is to respond to everyone who takes the time to write a review/response to me. I don't want to bloat the thread so I'm going to respond to what's already here in this one post. TheIllusiveOne, I can't say much for Harry and his lingering loyalties to Dumbledore, I cringed when JKR had her boy say that he was Dumble's man through and through. This is the hand we were dealt, and I can only...

    IP82, Honestly sir, this is the type of critique I was looking forward to when I decided to post this story. Writing the story this entire time with a very limited audience, a large time between chapters, and little feedback I think has been detrimental to the story. I've never been one to cater a storyline to reviews. But the type of feedback about never ending tension, and the repetitive use of similar scene breaks is very helpful. Glad you liked the good things about the...

    Being new the community I'm not sure that posting this story anywhere else is in line with the guidelines the moderators would like to see followed. Should a moderator give their permission for me to do so I would be happy to accomodate. There's currently seven completed chapters to the story and so posting the story in the "Work by Author" section (as it is available at the group) would mean that I was posting seven chapters worth of work to the forums here. Again, I don't know if...
