    I'm good with that. But from past experience of this story, I propose that the period before strikeage is shortened- I mean, in this case, two strikes in succession means two weeks without any story content.

    I think it's just too ruddy long for the wait. If Chuck ends up taking a long time (that's a big IF Chuck, don't be insulted), then that's practically three weeks waiting for a few hundred to a thousand words just that once.

    I think one week is a reasonable time period for real life's troubles, but for the people waiting for the next bit of story (however many that is, including myself) it's a bit too long. I mean, I have to read the previous chapter to even make sense of the next section- yes, I know I'm a big hypocrite with those words, but this is a cooperative work, and I don't want to see mine, and four others' efforts relatively unappreciated.

    Also, reading Thorn's post, in reference to the 'adding a bit to the end of the chapter, because the chapter would be too short otherwise' part, I think if it were anybody other than Thorn, such as myself, who wishes to add on, should clear it with the others, just to clarify their intentions.

    In short, I just think this story is a bit... unorganised. I know it's a chain story, and it's supposed to be like this, but I'm just a mean person if things are left unclear and ambiguous.

    Okay, semi-rant is over. Sorry being all Nazi about this, but I felt it needed to be said. Thanks.

    Chuck, don't you dare skip ;) ;) ;)




    Or else... :microwave:

    I'll get this up as soon as I can, but right now I'm in finals.

    Sorry. :?

    I rather like Harrys slow corruption and also the fact that Lucius took him down a peg or two during the Hogwarts battle.

    Updated.

    I tried not to make Harry too powerful. My hands hurt. Its a big one, probably a double post.

    Chalk that up for me, so I get another strike if I miss one (although I haven't yet).

    Post thoughts here, etc. etc.

    I liked it, but when you said "Goblin Transformation" were you referring to the Dragon transformation? Or was I just reading it wrong and you were alluding to the Dragon transformation that was a result of the Goblins?

    One and the same. If you want to edit it in the final thing, you can. I'm referring to the ritual where they killed the dragon.

    I apologize for my temporary transparency in which none of you have seen me. I have been in the final days of college. At this time, I have completed all but one exam. I do not think I will be able to write this weekend because I will be studying for my Hebrew final to prove my fluency and packing, so as to move back home. I should be all settled by the 10th. If you can give me a leeway until then, it would most appreciated.

    Okay, I posted a dosey of section, three pages long, i do believe. I was rather bored after i failed...i mean finished...my Hebrew final that i started writing. I do believe that I have even started work on my own fanfic again. but shush, that's a secret. Anyway, I set up the next chapter to be sort of like the maze near the end of Bauldur's Gate, with many traps and monsters Harry must go through to get to Ravenclaw's wand. Keep in mind that Harry can not touch the wand, cause the Gaunt family ring effect will also happen to Harry. And remember the thing at the begining witht he guard about removing objects, it's like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Just imagine the Tower collapsing in on it'self. Anywho, got to work on my fanfic a bit more ;)

    Whoes glad to be done with freshman year of college? I am, that's who.

    Grats on your first year of college Forfie!

    Anyway, I like your Indiana Potter twist! It'll make it neat to write if I get to do any of it. Enjoy Lutris you lucky dog.

    Thank you very much xThornx. I have 14 and 1/2 weeks of vacation, and boy do i need it. I hope to push out a few chappies for my fic soon, as well as this. How many strikes do I have again? I might want to do an extra section to get rid of them.

    I just wrote up a section, the need to write sort of hit me like a brick. Now, does anyone else wanna contribute something extra to this one, or can I get this bad boy on FFnet? I can already assure you it's our biggest chapter yet.

    Guys, I've had fun doing this, and that's exactly what I expected.

    I'm glad I did this, but other things have come up, and frankly I don't know WHEN I'll be able to write again.

    Its been a blast, but I'm out now. I'm sorry if I disappoint any fans (doubtful based on the number of reviews) but either way, I'm glad I did this. GOod luck, and all that jazz. You can find a replacement for me or shorten the cycle.

    HAVE FUN, and...UPDATE SOON!!! :D

    bye

    I don’t think DLP wants to be associated with this. The Dark Lord Potter should at least be removed from the title on FFnet.

    It’s a blatant power trip - it begins with Harry torturing Dudley gratuitously. There’s irrational hatred of Dumbledore, and there’s the matter of the disparate writing styles. Lutris Argutiae’s is the best and the others kind of barely pull their own weight.

    Corny one-liners, really bad made-up incantations, and there isn’t a single instance of originality.
