So far it isn't bad.
Entertaining and original, and until now not like his Naruto story (getting far too much over the top), well, not much anyway.
It is still very interesting and I like it, nothing epic like Shezza's HP/Dresden Files series, but a good read nonetheless.


And if it turns really bad we need another author who can take some of his ideas and make another story with it, because the ideas are sometimes really brilliant.

 

Excellent point. It started with that, I presumed it to be a dementor-esque indy!harry, but what are they doing now? Souls struck in new Fae bodies, playing with time?

I still read the updates, but it gets cumbersome after a while. The author is a veritable mine of ideas, but has poor skills in implementing them in a coherent, realistic story. Oh well, randomness is all nice and good sometimes.

3/5

 

In one word, eccentric.

In more...
well this collection of psychedelic scribblings
that can be charitably called writing had me laughing until I nearly passed out.
As it was, it won a Hanky-Pranky award. (Ever watch Beetlejuice the TV show?)


There were parted that grated, (like the diatribe it took to crack Hermione's
authority-worshiping shell, but it was realistic. It would
likely take a pensieve and a Solemn Oath to otherwise shatter
Hermione's delusions on the Skull Lord and Snape.

The Marches that have been stolen against the Skull Lord have me
sniggering like Selphie from FFVIII on 10 pounds of sugar.

It isn't polished because the author appears to prefer trailblazing instead of concerning himself with revision at this point in time. It makes it a tough read, but bizarre enough to be of endless amusement. 4.5/5

 

A new chapter.

>_> Weird to post so soon, but... I had to tell my disappointment. The chapter was pure filler. He went off-tangent again, explaining stuff in needless depth. Boring and disappointing. It did have the most extreme politically 'master manipulator' Dumbelore, or at least most in-depth, but... yeah. I'm starting to consider dropping this fic ._.

 

Another kick to the cliques

 

Yeah I hate cliques too, everyone gets into this 'them vs us' attitude. They all have their own little language and if you're out, you're so out. There's no way to be cool if you're not in with the right clique. God I hated high school.

So...what clique are you kicking?

 

It is Cliche'. Not Clique but yes I agree it does step away from the usual cliche'.

 

The Crossover is pwning the HP story, but I'm enjoying this one. Oddly enough. I don't read the other story, so I don't have any context for it. That's actually a benefit - it's all new and creative to me.
Weird, and not really enough HP, but engaging.
3/5

 

I'm trying to think of how many fanfics I know of that went against that goblin cliche... I can really only think of about 4 and this is the only one I can name.

 

This story is one rant-filled mindfuck. The author is trying to beat down the reader's head how manipulative Dumbledore can be, to a level of annoyance I thought impossible to feel about a story. Using "Dumbles" on a forum thread is annoying enough, but throughout the actual story? Failure and cocksweat.

Then there's the execution of all these ideas and sideplots. Luna = Malfoy? The fairies, and their laundry list o' powers? Alice (Lovegood) in Wonderland? Meeting past and future selves via Time Turner? Snape and Dumbledore, pimp-and-butt pirates-in-arms? Politics galore? Harems? Anti-cliche cliches? That shit with the Goblet of Fire?

Mr. Joe's groanworthy ideas + Sin of Existance's author's notes + ADHD + crack cocaine = This story.

1/5 for giving me a goddamn headache.

 

Another couple of chapters have been posted and now it introduces characters from Peter Pan's world. And for a master manipulator, Dumbledore has some huge weaknesses. He had no one (from the Ministry or elsewhere) inform him of Sirius Black's release and Peter Pettigrew's capture and failed to even read it in a newspaper.

Oh well, at least the author has some interesting ideas. That's all can be said for the fic at the moment.
With regards,

It's a guilty pleasure for me. Uber hero characters have a (dark, shameful) attraction for my baser tastes. To be fair, this Dumbledore is smart, and isn't making stupid mistakes. The missing of current news is solely because he is very distracted. He's being attacked on all fronts simultaneously, and Harry & Co. have received a stunning amount of outside aid, from a completely unexpected direction.

Dumbledore is caught completely flatfooted, but notice that most of his defenses and fallbacks kicked in perfectly. The only reason that some of the people who support him have any suspicion at all is because AD wasn't there to temper the response of his failsafes.

 

I enjoyed it until a few chapters, but then like Blaise said, it turned into a big mass of fail. I really hoped that this could turn into something nice, but... well I was hugely disappointed.

 

I happen to find this story quite enjoyable. It also seems like the author has finally found a direction for the story to go.

 

After the last 6 or 7 chapters being complete crap...

I've given up on trying to wade through cliches and original stuff that could have been done a LOT better. And the whole "Luna being Malfoy's neice" thing is just weird. In ALL of canon, there had never been a mention of Lucius having brothers/sisters. But whatever.

It's his story, he can do what he wants. I don't have to read it.

 

Another chapter, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I should say `Gods!!! I really don't know what to make of this story!' Another novel idea - Daily Prophet printed with ink and paper that make you believe in whatever you read in that rag! Don't think I saw that one before.

 

I think the author would be better suited as a muse-type beta, as opposed to writing it himself. As it is now, it's like watching a Ferrari being driven by a 90 year old: a complete waste.

 

The chapters he write are better off as one shots. They are great and original ideas.

 

I find this story somewhat hard to follow but over all I think it is original even with the cliches. At least the spelling and grammar are tolerable and I'll take a correctly written piece of trash any day over something completely original and cliche free that I can't follow due to a lack of proper spelling and/or grammar.

I give it a 2.9/5

 

New chapter is out. Not very much plot but sort of amusing.
