I dunno why, but yesterday (or maybe another day back) my eyes fell on the Amber Chronicles (Sometimes known as "books of amber") book on the shelf. I have read it too recently to just read again, but then I decided to look around if there are any good fics. Being in a potterish mood (for quite a few months now) I looked over the the few places (DLP had nothing, or I might have missed something (I checked the Almost recomendable and Library lists (with keywords, like amber, corwin, pattern, shadow))) fanfic.net found me only two crossovers.
To Sleepwalk Through Shadow* I guess 1.5/5 if you are generous. (Just some random amber info dump without a line of plot)
Harry Potter: Prince of Amber* This one was better, i think 2/5. (Made me smile in a few places)

So, needless to say, I was disappointed with my search results.
However, people like to write crossovers and sometimes forget to clasify it as such. A search of books of amber category gave no resutls, but when searching through the potter ones, I managed to find a quite reasonably good piece from 2008.
A Wizard in Amber After the two pieces of garbage it read like a five star piece. Today, after sparing a second glace it's more like a 4/5. Of course, that's because there is no overpowering where it might have been and Corwin is believable. All the interactions with Sirius are fun. It ends without any real ending, although I'd say if the author bothered to spend a few minutes, the last few chapters could have been written into a sort of ending, and the story would be complete. Now it has a few lose ends (which needn't have been introduced). (Still, if you know what Amber is about, read it, quite a fun experience. Especially Corwin and Azkaban. ;D)
The last find was Harry Potter and the Blood of Chaos a 2.75/5 in my opinion. The author tried to cram everything he remembered about Amber at once, in once place, where someone was explaining things to Dumbledore. Artificial and useless.



My question is -> has anyone seen anything like it? Or for that matter any reasonable quality** works combining the two universes?
Amber is a world that is half of a crosover in itself, and Corwin has short black hair and green eyes. I think at least half of what I found figured that it was from Corwin that Lily Evans got her eyes. Someone should have written at least an overpowered harry of Oberon descent. ;D. I'd read that with todays's mood.
I hope I find something in a few weeks, or I'll have to add it to the idea pile that probably never will see light. (I even have a few smaller ideas. Perhaps a small piece someday...)


Nauro.

* I offer you no link, they can be found easily if so desired in ff.net, although I don't recommend you go looking. ;D
** at least 2/5? and readable grammar.

 

I've noticed the lack of an edit button above and am hoping that it'll merge somehow. There must be a reason for those "automerged" messages hidden through the board, right? Hmm, it didn't curious.
I've gave up on finding anything else and have started fleshing out an outline for a short story of my own. That will probably take care of all my amber needs ;D
I'm debating with myself weather I should post it over WBA, or just let it stew by itself. We'll see.*

The reason of this comment is that I noticed a mistake in my previous post. A trivial one, but think I have mixed up To Sleepwalk Through Shadow (2.25/5) with Harry Potter: Prince of Amber (1.25/5) somewhat.
Prince is the worse one. Also the one I laughed out of, that was the correct comment.
Sleepwalk has the better writing style and is low on grade only because almost nothing happens in the three chapters. It even has a light potential to earn higher someday. I don't believe it will be updated, though.
It's really trivial, but I'm sorry if you went to check the better one out of the bad ones and were disappointed ;D
Also, it's because I hate leaving mistakes.

*Yes it's a slight self promotion, but I'm not posting any links nor names yet, so there. Of course, one might argue that you could find it through my profile in ff.net or just trough ff.net, given the small amount of amber stories there. If that is the case, I don't know what harm could that bring. Still, I'd say wait for it to appear in wba, it's likely as I would like to try out some thing i might need advice on..


EDIT: Note to self - don't review things you have read at 4a.m. Only going to make a fool of yourself... Shadow is really strongly written. Dunno what I was reading at the time.
