I liked this. Snape is written well, and the ending had me giggling. I can't review very well, but this seems 4/5 to me.

 

I think you should post it in correct format This is a sticky for reasons.

 

I read it, but didn't like it. The ending was perhaps in character for Snape, but silly. The writing was nothing special, and ticked a few of my pet peeves. 2.5, rounded down.

 

The post is fixed. Sorry for the low standards, worjing from my iphone at the airport with stubby fingers.

 

I'm not saying it's good or anything, because the writing is shitty and boring. I ended up skipping some parts...but the end was pretty amusing. Laughed for a minute or two.

 

Characterizations are bad, writing is iffy, dialogue is crap, and premise is retarded.

 

I didn't like the style of writing, nor the premise. Hermione's character annoyed me (she just jumped at the chance of handing out her Time-Turner), and so did Lucius (or more like he just bored the hell out of me by not saying anything new), and Snape, and Harry, and almost everything else besides the end. I'm not saying that the ending is a genius idea, I just detest that pussy-Harry type so much that I enjoy him getting traumatised and killed for doing idiotic things like trying to help Snape and saying "I care about you!" to him.
So, nice ending and no grammar mistakes that I could see while skimming it: 2/5.

 

It has been some time since I read it, so I might come out wrong, but it wasn't that good to merit a reread.

I remember it less like a fic and more like an idea. An idea with interesting resolution, one I found interesting, but that was it.

And the ending is worth 4, but the other stuff is just...maybe 2 or 2.24.
so maybe that makes it a 3/5

I'd say - read it for the ending, but after that you can safely forget it.

Nauro.

 

I saw this on a recent trawl of tvtropes' recommended fanfiction. Not a single good one I haven't already read. God that place is full of shit. Anyway, this oneshot is pretty bad. Its not worth the price of admission, T3t had it in one.

 

Seemed interesting at first, but I am fairly sure you can't go more than a few hours into the past with a time turner. Also, Hermione seemed very OOC for me. The ending was funny though, I thought it Snape wanted him to hunt to teach him to kill or something, right up until the stag transformed into James, that's when I started laughing.

 

Eh, it wasn't /quite/ a waste of time, but it was close. Though I'll admit I liked the characterization of Snape, the "twist" was so obviously telegraphed that I only finished reading to see what route the author would take with the consequences.

Spoiler

Rather than Harry turning to dust, it would've been funnier if he'd morphed into Snape/Lily's son, as a Fuck You to all the Severitus retards. I wouldn't be surprised if Silens rewrote this story in that vein... :awesome:

 

1/5 the description of the Harry's emotions at the beginning was interesting if slightly OOC, but after that my eyes refused to read more than 1 line in 5.

Translation for those lacking common sense (I just know one of them will see this) interesting OOC emotional descriptions, but did not hold my interest.
