    Hmm... I like this fic, maybe because it's only readable HP/GL crossover I have found.

    Your link goes directly to Chapter 3... gave me a headache til I realized.

    Best to see that fixed.

    Gah, a premature submission.

    I've been following this since Ch. 2 was released and generally enjoyed reading it. That said, if I was forced to rate it now I would give it three stars, since it truly hasn't stood out one way or another to me. However, depending on the direction the author takes, I could easily imagine giving this four or two stars.

    I'll probably officially rate this thread whenever Ch. 4 gets released.

    I liked the beginning and chapter 2 was ok, maybe a bit patronizing, but the last chapter got too corny and I fear for the story if it continues that path.

    Semi-decent and not very memorable. 3/5

    I liked it myself. I'm going to wait on rating it though. But it's pretty decent so far.

    I have to give this fic a 2/5. The Guardians seem insanely underpowered in almost all of their appearances, and
    given that the combined force of all the guardians is enough to make Superman pause, Harry breaking out of their control without so much as a by-your-leave is more than a little ridiculous, even factoring in the so-called "Prime Ring".

    Also, interplanetary portkeys? Really?

    One more thing I forgot: where are the other Corps? There's one for every color and shade (including black and white), so where'd they go? It's not like Doctor Strange pulled a disappearing act on them.

    Red lanterns get their power from rage,
    orange lanterns from greed,
    yellow lanterns from their fear,
    green lanterns from willpower,
    blue lanterns from hope,
    indigo tribe from compassion,
    star sapphires from love,
    black lanterns from death,
    and white lanterns are a balance of all of the above, save black.

    so where the fuck are they?

    That stuff is all recent, and best left in the dustbin of DC's newly found obsession with megacrossovers events.

    First chapter was decent, and worth having on story alert. Then the second chapter was released, and it wasn't worth reading.

    Harry is mega powerful. No chance for dramatic tension when nothing can really challenge him.

    This shits all over HP and the Green Lantern. 1/5

    Honestly, the comic book geek in me wants to punch the author in the face. Harry Potter gets a power ring. How is this supposed to be a good plan for a plot, I have no idea. Then it becomes apparent that the author clearly has only watched the Justice League cartoon and maybe the Green Lantern wikipedia article. I seriously can't believe this is even in For Review, it doesn't even make the cut for recycling bin.

    Yes really. Don't tell me you didn't read nonjon's Brown coat, Green eyes? (Shakes head in shame.)

    2/5 on the fic. Questionable situations give rise to doubts on where it can go, plus odd execution merging of both worlds; just too much not accounted for.

    This made me bash my head against a table. First of all, Harry is characterized poorly. Secondly, 'Prime Ring'? Really? Third, I want to kill Abin Sur's little cum bucket of an 'apprentice'. Fourth, the Guardians are characterized poorly, and they are poorly thought out. Fifth, the author really is an arrogant little shit if he thinks that I want to hear him aggrandize himself for a few paragraphs at the beginning of the chapter.

    All in all, I rate this on par with Kinsfire. -1/5.

    I don't know. I bet a Harry Potter GL crossover could work. Just not really this one.

    The above is indicative of the little messages the author writes before each chapter.

    Yeah, no.

    FUCK, no, in fact.

    The author is clearly a pretentious douche, who probably wears a mauve lounge robe and slippers around his house because he can.

    I didn't actually read this story, because the few paragraphs before the story even began pissed me off so badly that I knew I wouldn't enjoy it at all.

    0/5 Die in a fire.

    I try to read it, the sotry is just horrible, Harry become better with the ring than veteran GL, the idea of a Prime ring is just silly. it dont have the yellow defect, ok in the comics that defect can be overcome once the GL learn, accept and defeat his/her fears but this ring it appear as the all powerful ring that have not defect and also appear Harry can control it with out knowing why.

    Also he just see a freaking alien!! and did not even flinch, not to mention the existence of life (a lot of life) in the universe.

    will not even mention how the guardians are being presented, the author think they are just a bunch of really old aliens who happen to invent a ring with powers but don't really understand anything abut how they work and treat anyone who disobey with violence and scorn (sure they are obnoxious, but sure as hell are wise and have vast knowledge... they don't share it because they believe the others races are not mature yet).

    I don't believe a crossover with GL is possible as that is just to much power in one side, after all the ring is just the most powerful weapon in the universe and to make it work in the HP universe will be need it to be downplayed, bu will be interesting to see if someone can pull it out.

    any way as a prover say "The taste is broken in genres" (el gusto se rompe en géneros).

    At least run this through a spell checker, even if you're not a native English speaker. Make the effort to correct your writing and grammar.

    For the story, the idiotic third person narration of the author is damn annoying. He's copying Bobmin's style, writing idiotic author's rants, (answering his critics and pretending he is cool) disguised as mini stories at the start of every chapter.

    The truth is, aside from the crappy plot, that rant he starts at the beginning turns off most readers.

    Oh, is that faggotry from Bobmin? I forgot how much that asshole needs a punch in the kidney.

    God damn, that is the most annoying shit I have ever run across in fanfiction, and that is saying something.
