i think that the first chapter was a bit rushed and that harry was beaten for nothing other than being a "freak" but other than that it's good

 

It was pretty intresting. I like that Hermione and Tonks stood by Harry.

 

i like it has the right amount of cliche to be good but not overly cliche. BUT the first 2 chapters were a lil rushed but hey it was still good and had me reading still so good job. it has its bad and good points

 

The Trash Bin? Who on earth put my story here? 4 pages of mostly positive reviews on this thread plus another 186 on FF.net which are unanimously postive (excepting perhaps 3) says Rise of the Amphiptere should stay in its proper place in the Dark Arts section.

In response to those very few of you who dislike its admitted cliches, I have posted a letter on my FF.net profile that I urge everyone to read. Here is the URL http://www.fanfiction.net/u/932243/

 

I agree! this story is one of the best. it does not belong in the trash bin.

 

Generally, stories that have a rating of three stars and below are moved here. This story has a rating of three stars. If you think it belongs elsewhere, I would suggest voting for a higher rating.

 

Completely and utterly irrelevant. The whole point in having a library at DLP is to display fics reccommended by members - a lot of popular authors (some with more than 3000 reviews) find that their fics aren't well received here.

While your fans may be leaving positive reviews, there may be others who don't believe it is as good and therefore gave it a lower rating - hence the place in the trash bin.

The whole point in the Trash Bin is for fics that aren't quite to the taste of the DLP members but with a bit of work could improve and will therefore be put back into the main category. So instead of whining, I advise you to address whatever issues people have pointed out and strive to make your fic worthy of a place in the Dark Arts section.

A member of the staff, obviously. And no, I won't tell you who it is - that's their call.

 

Valid points, Master Slytherin, however allow me to make these remarks:

1) Seeing as how I've only recieved two reviews from DLP Moderators and Lord Ravenclaw's was very positive, I'll assume that Dark-Syaroan moved the story. In his review, he complained of the prologue being cliched, and left it at that. The review was left after the prologue leading me to assume that he did not read any further. It would seem to me to be a bit premature to throw a story into the pit of "Read at the risk of your own sanity," having read only a touch more than 900 words, especially a highly reviewed one

2) This leads to my second point. Your observation on how only my fans are leaving reviews is keen, but it runs afoul of your other point that "instead of whining I advise you to address whatever issues people have pointed out." For if no one has pointed out issues, aside from our aforementioned Moderator, what could there be to improve? It is a conundrum, Master Slytherin.

3) So to avoid future conundrums, I have a suggestion for the improvement of this site: Require that in order to rank a thread or story, you must leave a message on that thread. Because it really is for the common good that fics be improved as much as possible, and if all an author hears is praise from those who like him, he will continue his ways as others scorn from afar. I suppose I don't even know if it's possible to set up the site like that, but it would be well worth looking into

 

I remember reading this a while ago, and while this story is not lengthy by any means, I was impressed by its content. Also this thread should be moved back to the Dark Arts catefory since the rating is now 4 stars.

 

When was it moved last time i checked this was a pretty decent fic

 

I don't think there are technical capabilities to achieve something like that. And even if there were, it's pretty stupid; no system can stop people from being dicks.

 

FUCKING NECRO!!!
