    I love nearly all of Rorschs work and my favourite pairing is H/Luna ..... so I'm probbably biased but I do think it is verry well written and hilarious .

    :D
    4.8/5

    I'm suprised so many people are willing to overlook the fact that Ron takes up most of the screen time with nothing but recycled sex jokes about his Harem.


    This had potential, and was good and pretty funny when it was mostly centered on Harry and Hermione doing the whole thief deal, but once the entire thing became all Ron themed and he'd literally go entire chapters with nothing but a line or 2 about Harry and Hermione, I just lost interest, 2/5.

    I agree with the notion that there wasn't enough screen time for Harry and Hermione.

    Not that I'm demanding the pairing but it looked like the story was being built around those two characters. And then it just went on to feature so many different plot lines it was hard to keep them straight. I only got to chapter twenty-something before I just got exasperated with the constant shift of viewpoint.

    The problem is shown at the end of his chapters. The author thanks like 20 people for "giving him ideas and plots" The author didn't have enough direction to make the story take shape so he took ideas from many people and it ended up a potpourri of characters. He listened to what everyone had to say and wrote what they wanted instead of choosing his own direction. That's why the story is 80 chapters long, not because it has a long plot that needs to be solved, but because there are so many side-stories that the Thieving Fox and Hound story just gets placed on the back burner.



    Started out 3.5/5

    Ended up 1.5/5 for failure to commit to a plot and let everyone run rugshod over him.

    It got boring after the million chapter. Good until then, though. It's recommended, but you know you have too much time on your hands if you're going to finish this. It's copy paste after a while.

    Somewhere that I hope you aren't. Disposing of the
    I adore all of Rorshach's work, but frankly it’s a bit too spread out that after the first 12 chapters the plot proceeds to run amok leaving you with the impression that Rorshach is trying to balance about 300 elephants on he/she (gender?) while riding a unicycle.

    Frankly I think he/she should work on having one main story, with small side plots in them. While having numerous smaller fics to allow he/she to expand the universe.


    I would recommend that he/she go check into thearpy to learn to get over the need she seems to have to satisfy her readers; still don't get why the fuck does a writer feel she has to write a story based on anyone but her own expections, or go read some proper plotted fiction.

    I took this fic as a "lighter" humour reading, a couple of chapters every now and then. In that sense 4.5/5.

    note: Maybe I am biased since I liked all his works.
