I liked the way this story started it only has one chapter so far but I think it has alot of potential.

 

The first chapter didnt really go anywhere though. Just showing Harry getting the crap beat out of him. Maybe the snake bit will be more important to Harry's personality in the next chapter, but who knows.

I reserve judgement for later chapters.

 

Same for me. But "Shadow Mage" thing made me cringe.

 

The little boy looked so calm, so innocent that it sickened the man standing before him. Red eyes with slits like a snake looked down upon the boy sitting in the cot in the upper nursery of the cottage in Godric’s Hollow. The little boy was looking through the bars of the cot at the mane of red hair that belonged to Lily Potter, who was laying out on the floor looking at her son with vacant expressionless eyes................................................. yeah i read so much and i closed the window

 

It feels like I've read this before many, many times but I will give it one more chapter before I give up on it. You might take this a slightly more original direction

 

Is it just me or is any fic recently shit unless its done by a member here?

 

Yes its just you. Often authors join here after recieving reviews from existing members extending an invite

 

Shadow Mage... yeah that doesn't bode well. Also, that bit about Voldemort feeling struck me as a bad sign.

 

Ah...... No

REJECTED

 

The author never got past the first chapter, which wasn't all that terrible from what I skimmed, unless you consider overly victimised Harry as such, but it wasn't all that good either.

2/5, nominated for removal.

 

Not that much of a chronicle, if it's only one chapter.

 

Spoiler

He knew he wasn't a light man and that the skeletal horse was suffering under him, but it was carrying on like a champion. He'd have to give it an extra helping of meat when they got back to the castle.

Bestiality!Hagrid in chapter 1. That's got to be worth bonus points.
Maybe it's just me...

It did close a plot hole, about how Hagrid got to Godric's Hollow before Sirius.

I can't condemn this fic just yet. Too soon.

 

You can, because it hasn't been updated in three years.

 

Yup. I think that it's safe to say that the fic's either as dead as a dodo, or as dead as Saddam Hussein's current love life. (Ya know, being dead and all).
