    ... I kinda walked into that one, I guess.

    But no, I was referring to the sarcasm and snarking that goes on all the time. I mean, seriously. Some of this shit is just comedy gold. :)

    KHIKYG is fast becoming DLP's version of Godwin's law.

    So I just stayed up all night reading the story. God, now I can begin to understand why this story has 134 pages of bitching about updates. That said, the betas can't get the next chapter out fast enough.

    I don't think he was talking about your ability as betas as much as saying that the story is so good that any time is too long.

    Well, we have to screen the whole story for potential huge fuck-ups like that one mentioned by Yak, so it might be a while before the next update is posted in wba.

    Ignoring Lily wanting to frame it, is it possible that the Rosier's got a different version with Harry on the cover? They live in a different country and all so that may work. It would make sense as the news would be bigger where Grindelwald actually operated and among the community that goes to Durmstrang.

    Well, if we postulate upon the rarity of occlumency books, the assumption that different magazines could of been utilized is definitely valid.

    I can't believe i finally succumbed and beat that dead horse one last time. :/

    It's still twitching, how can you resist prodding it with a stick from time to time? Its like that one time you find a dead body in the woods as a kid, you need to poke it with a stick to see if it's still alive.

    I suppose you could ignore the plot hole with the magazine publishing. From what I understand "Transfiguration Today" is a national magazine meaning it most likely is based in multiple countries. While the topics are the same in the majority of national based articles they have to change the language to the specific country and will rework the page setting of articles depending on the relevance to the specific country, so yes, it is entirely possible for the front page and article order to be completely different.

    Ok, i'll state my earlier point more directly.

    This argument is now fucking stupid. There is currently a very minor plothole, which The Santi can get out of possibly by using either the above method, or a multitude of others along the same line.

    One way or the other however, the story is unchanged.

    I would only be jealous of you if you bought that Harley.

    Don't be retarded; no one actually cares about this plothole.

    I really liked the story, when I first saw the description I almost skipped over it to be honest, but it is one of my favorite stories that I've read.

    Santi does mention the magazine being specifically the British edition, so I believe that you're right & he covered it.

    Just finish all 11 chapters in one go last night. Wonderful stuff.

    I'm calling 4th year, Harry represents Durmstrang, Nathan gets killed in Voldemort's resurrection ritual and Harry goes Dark!Dark!Darker than black to utterly destroy Voldemort, thus fulfilling the premise of "loved but become Dark Wizard".
