    This is pretty original in my book. I like the dark dumbledore idea, and I am wondering if there are more fics like that, at least well written. Dumbledore always fascinated me.

    So far, I like it. It seems promising so I'm looking forward to what is in store.

    Well, the idea is an interesting one - and the integration of later books into an earlier AU than OoTP is a rare treat. But I must agree with the other comments - you do need some pre/beta reading to clean things up a bit. Short chapters are okay if they actually advance the story - you don't need to pad nonsense if it doesn't fit.

    I'll give it 5 J's out of 10 for now - I'd be happy to raise that when I've read more.

    Ok so I'm little ways into chapter 3.Like 800 words in, so not very far. Problem is, I don't have internet on my computer right now so I can't send it to anybody to get it beta'd and have an shot to me on where it should go. I haven't abandoned the fic so don't worry about that. I just don't press my self to write when I don't want to. Chapters come out shitty if I press my self.

    Expect an update soon though!

    Good! This is a really great idea, and so far it seems to be coming off pretty well.

    By the way, did anyone ever straight out volunteer for Beta'ing?

    I really liked it. This is one of the best concepts that I've heard of in a while. Still, it's much too early to judge how good it truly is, so I'll refrain from rating it. For now, I'll just say that I'm mightily intruiged and I hope that you keep it up and update soon.

    Just perusing through the library and found this old, abandoned fic.

    Presumably Dark!Dumbledore with Harry as his apprentice. Terrible spelling and only 5000 words. Not library worthy. Probably a good candidate for clean-up.

    Been ages since I've seen this. I'm a better writer now, but don't expect to see this cleaned up or anything. I do still think I had a semi-interesting concept, but I'm just not interested anymore.
