    Well I was searching through the forums looking for a good FemHarry fic but I was surprised at the lack of them here. Granted the ones I found were pretty top notch, but even still I figured Id see if I couldn't add to the list.

    Now about the story itself, It starts a little rough and the first year is a little of a stretch but you can see how the author gets progressively better as he/she continues to write. I found the story rather refreshing also in the sense that it focused more on Juniper (Harry) being a girl and less on some half thought out plot line. It does get a little sickeningly sweet at times but they tend to be short. Also the characters are pretty well done along with a good paced plot line.

    Hmm this being my first recommendation Im not sure if I should add more or not. Let me know if I should and Ill try to make the next one better.

    Is it somehow April Fool's and I didn't know?

    Wait, Scratch That; it's a troll, but I can't figure out if it's Intentional or Unintentional.

    The first two chapters were just bad, but I jumped to the most recent chapter - fair's fair, the author has improved. I wouldn't say they're good, but they've improved. At the absolute best, this belongs in Almost Recommended though.

    After reading the Curse of the GWL, every fic like this seems sub-par, like when reading twin-fics with Santi's fic...

    I got to chapter three and just got bored with it.

    I don't like how authors like this seem to think that a girl Harry would be smarter, it seemed to imply sexism, but mostly because it's either they are a girl, a pedophile or just have good ideas, the latter hardly ever happens.

    I think that it's because DLP is Harry-centric lovers who like Harry to be badass, but still in character... and that dosen't include a pre-birth sex change.

    1/5.
