    Yeah, took him quite a while.
    And while I agree that it is quite out there, it was what got me into dark Harry so I don't mind it so much. Just wish he would get back into the action more

    I have no idea why people would read this. I read most of it, but mostly out of morbid curiosity. Essentially, this is what you get if you take a plotline directly from Warcraft III and put it in a modified HP universe.

    The scale, plot, setting, etc. are essentially classic Warcraft.

    This was my first ever dark Harry fic that I read.

    Fascinating start albeit rushed, and then started to get weirder in the later chapters until it became rubbish.
    Good fight scenes though.

    Well... I don't know. It has some very well written sequences and a few fairly original plotlines - but there are some significant problems:

    The beginning: Harry's "plan" to kill off his enemies isn't quite that good. There's no way Snape would be stupid enough to drink just any potion.
    The middle: Way too much on uninteresting, minor, and just plain boring original characters.
    The end: Huh? What happened?

    This was possibly the first Dark!Harry story I ever read. I think it is great in the beginning, until fifth year school children develop into these extremly skilled and very powerful wizards and witches. It would have been better that when harry and his followers fleed into the forbidden forest could they have stayed there and practised for at least a year, keeping a low profile.

    Also the fact that there are somehow 10 000 students at Hogwarts. That is a bit extreme. From what I can figure out so are there around a hundred students per house according to canon.

    I have read this fic, from start to finish, and I loved most of the scenes in it. IT was written like a war campaign, and that was exactly what it was: An enormous war campaign. I loved it, and even if it gets repetative in the later chapters it's still a classic dark Harry.

    The author went into great detail about the different types of soldiers, and even more detail into the magics used. From Neville's water elementals to Necro!Ginny... I usually despise Harry!Ginny pairings, but the way he manipulated her, wow! Classic. :D

    Harry pretty much takes on everything, and everyone. He squishes them like cockroaches with his strategies, and battles.

    This was the fic that got me to download an illegal copy of Warcraft III, and I played the campaigns while reading most of the story. The one pet peeve of mine is that he doesn't leave spaces between paragraphs so it is annoying to read, but aside from that this fic is the BEST dark!Harry fic I have read so far.

    Personally, I think it's like George Orwell's "1984"

    It's based on Earth, but unlike any earth we know. They're worlds apart.

    Wow, that was a bad pun.

    For fucks sake.

    Bad spelling and grammar, exhibiting fanboyish traits, asking for stories without apparently looking through the library, doing such in the wrong category, and extending the word please into a whine.

    I am sorry but I am going to have to castrate you, for the good of the species.
     
  13. OI! You can go fuck yourself! I know i'm a lazy bastard but i only whined like a little bitch because I thought it would work. I already looked through a shit load of stories and found none to my likeing. So if you're not going to help me out then sod off or i'll rip through your flesh and bathe in your blood and when i'm done i will tear out your still beatting heart and make you wach as I eat it!

    First of all can you get anymore cliched than
    This is fucking Dark Lord Potter.net, you have to be far more creative than that to get any respect.

    How about if I use a eyelash curler from the toilet of Rosie O'Donnell to tear off your toenails. String said nails and use them to slowly saw off your nut sack. Saute your nuts with some squashed leeches and motor oil and feed it to YOU.

    I would then pass some time finding out how many ways I can snap your fingers off before deciding to improve your physical appearance by carving off the flesh on your head with the lid of a rancid dog food can.

    And to finish it off by sticking a Zulu Spear up your ass, roast you for days over a couple dozen candles and feed you to some starving Ethiopians.

    Because you know I am a fucking humanitarian.

    Now that we have the empty threats out of the way lets talk about the rest of your post.

    I sincerely doubt that you have read a shit load of Dark Harry fics, but if you have it certainly wasn't by looking through this site. If you had you would know by now that being a whiny little bitch would not work. All it would get you is being verbally torn to pieces by people far more vicious than me before getting banned for being such an ignorant little emo.

    Now be a good little boy and take a big swig out of a mug of stfu.

    EDIT: Oh and kudos to Xiph for the nickname.

    There are some violent threats in there that even I haven't used before! And I once threatened to pull someones stomach out through their rectum *poor Yarrgh*

    But Raper:

    As cliched and unoriginal go you take the cake. Yes, I am using a tired and bored cliche because quite frankly you're not worth the original material. If I were to kill you I wouldn't go for the fingers like Necrule, they've been done to death... I mean lets face it, if I were to make 1 centimeter deep cuts running down the length of your penis before ramming a pencil up your urethra you would probably be in a lot more pain. Especially after I crushed your testicles and **cliche time** removed your eyes with a spoon and performed the old switcheroo.

    After that I would cover you in pheramones and leave you tied to a poll in an enclosure filled with bulls. This time, there would be no oley.

    See thats noncliched death threat. Nothing on Necrules Zulu and Ethiopians of course. I try to understand why whiny people like you just don't commit suicide -- but then I realize that you would never do the world a favor. I take solace in knowing that you will die a virgin and your sperm will lie forever unused in the sperm bank because no women would want a child possessing your physical and mental deformities.
     
  17. Touche *sigh* I am defeated.I salute your creativity and i'll probaly not be able to match it during my present years. I'm only 13 so i guess i still got some time to match your sdistic creativity. On the subject of being verbally tonr to pieces, I highly doubtthat will happen with the life i live. I have read a lot of stories and most of them were from this site. I would be the one to say that some of the stories are worthless since i admit i do not have an eye for quality in reading material but i still like to read.Oh by the way, what the hell is a zulu spear! :wall:

    The spoon is never a cliche. Ever. But good threat.

    I am in awe of the creativity of Gio and Necrule. Although the kid was kinda asking for it. This IS the Dark Arts section, after all.
