Err he ain't doomed.

The author's repeatedly hinted towards that and if you read the closing Author's Note after this latest chapter she again reiterates: "Let me remind you that this fic will be continuing beyond Voldemort, he isn’t all that important, and because of that I try to make as much stuff completely original as possible. I think you’ll like my ideas for the horcrux removal. (Actually I know you will)."

This chapter's battle I thought kinda of summarized why I enjoy this fic, but won't love it. And I'll continue to recommend with caveats. Tried too hard, too many different things that I didn't even want to try and imagine all the random form changes and fiery explosive magics far beyond anything we've known before. All these ancient powerful things that make even the worst curses in HP canon seem like tiny hangnails.

Still enjoyable if this is your thing. And sometimes for me, it is.

 

My guess is that the prophecy will protect him. If you read the author's note it mentioned the possibilty of the one vampire guy raping Malfoy. If that happens I may have to stop reading. I thought she said there would be no slash.

 

Harry will not be doomed. Remember she said that there will be more story after Voldy (and that Voldy wasn't all that important anyways), so Harry will find a way around this little hicup. The question tho, is how.

She mentioned that vampires are bisexual, and that they are very harsh to those who hate them for no reason (like Malfoy). Rape is used to prove ones dominance oversomeone, and considering that the vamps in her story ARE Bi...then one of em rapeing Malfoy isn't all that surprising.

 

I agree with Revan. That the vampires didn't try to take on Harry is only because he is powerful... and he covers his scent. If they knew that he has a scent of a dragon (or at least of a reptile) they would try to take his blood and body so there would naturally be rape...
It is the way of the vampires of the story.

 

But it's Malfoy. Why would anyone want to get close to that. I hope she just sticks with good old fashioned torture. If she doesn't I guess I will just skip over the rape scene espescially if it is anywhere near graphic.

 

Same here. She should just stick with torture, everyone likes the little ferret getting tortured.

 

Meh, the rest of her story was much better. It began to go steadily downhill after the time-travel thing to the ancient South American tribe. Before that, she had a great thing going, but then she just began to try too hard implementing way too many subplots/magics/ideas. This is still one of my favorite stories, but it's not near as good as it could have been.

 

Uhh i havn't really seem the doom yet? where'd that come from? The last chapter seemed to be lower quality then what I'd expect from some reason though I'm not really sure why. Maybe its just the only people fighting against Voldemort were the Vamps.

 

She might have been planning the demon/vampire thing from the beginning and the only way she could think of to do that was through the time travel. Or maybe she just had a hard time writing and if she gave details on small unimportant stuff like the hows she could keep writing.

Personally I like the political stuff going on in the world and magics but there are a lot of subplots. I like to hear of different ideas on magic so I'm biased to begin with.

 

I still like it , it's one of my favorite stories and it's 99% original , i especially like the Ron part , when reading jkr's books it just seems like the little bitch. Also the magic is great , she got some ideas from Buffy .. the levitating part ( series 5 or 6 with willow taking the black magic book's ). Actually my favorite fic with shake me , and The Dying Embers. I just didn't like the part with the animagus forms .. the dark angel seems pathetic near the dragon .. he should be a blood angel or something like that.

 

I love this story. While parts of it is annoying so is it still among my favorite stories. Hope europe gets burned to the ground in the sequel.

Would be amusing to see the massive ice dragon causing death, chaos and destruction all over europe

I was a bit disappointed at the last chapter as I was hoping to see voldemort fight in his animagus form.

 

Must have figured it would not make much of a difference with Namach in his animagus form, God i can't wait for the sequel.

 

Am I alone in thinking that Namach's form was slightly weak for Miranda to come up with? With her originality, I was thinking some kind of gigantic polar bear/oxen offspring.

And I still thought that post-timetravel the story was still very good, as were the politics, but it just wasn't up to the same standards as the earliest chapters were.

 

I thought the battle scene was boring and stupid. No duels, just a bunch of creatures coming out of nowhere. Stupid over powered patronous, gay ending, etc. I'll continue to read the fic/sequel, or whatever she has planned because once in awhile there are good ideas and battle scenes, but for the most part it's really not all that enjoyable.

 

I like the story pretty well the originality, the subplots, the magic ideas, and things. Pre-time travel was like a 9 out of 10 but like some i agree it goes down hill some after that. The story is still pretty good but not as great as it could have been.
Namach's form was a bit boring gigantic ice dragon was not what i was expecting. TALLER THAN BUILDINGS IN LONDON IS A BIT EXTREME.

As for the raping of Draco if its graphic ill skip it i say no slash would make it better i can handle the little things that point at it at the school but not if it turns it too full blown slash.

 

Miranda has had forced sex between characters before, and it wasn't graphic.

Then again, it was a completely unimportant detail in the whole scheme of things...

 

This story has lost its touch, I just can't get hooked to it. Its one of those stories that are really well written and creative. Yet it just doesnt captivate me, I didn't even care how long it took her to update even though I still wanted to read it. *sighs* Maybe its just me.

 

Well, the author did say that there would be a sequel. Regardless of whether it was anticlimactic or not, I think it was a great fic, all in all.

 

This story sucks PERIOD. It is not harry potter the 1st 10 chapters were good independent harry potter then it went to hell in another universe that had harry potter characters in it

 

I feel like fanfic has to have some combination of respect for the characters and respect for the universe in order to be considered part of fandom.

For example, IP82's fic has tremendous respect for the universe of Harry Potter. Where Rowling has left areas under (or un-) developed, he fills them in with reasoned out explanations that assume that the Wizarding world is populated with intelligent human beings. Because of this, he's able to develop/reinterpret the characters in new ways without creating any sort of backlash, because the story is so obviously part of the Potterverse.

Nonjon, on the other hand, has a tremendous feel for the characters, so he can be loosey-goosey with the worldbuilding and still obviously be writing (hilarious) Potter fics.

Flairgold, by contrast, clearly has no respect for the universe or the characters in Harry Potter. Rahkesh doesn't act or think like Harry Potter, and nothing in the world around him is like the world of Harry Potter (bloodmagic, thread magic, uber!vampires and mega!animagi are all wild departures). Basically, it's original fiction that should be judged on its own merits, and once it's considered outside the context of HP it's pretty poor.
