Aye, good spelling is what seperates the "great" from "yet another" fics. It doesn't have to be over the top, totally 100% perfect, but around 90%+ is what you want to aim for, as the fics that are very poorly spelled tend to either be utter trash, or just painful to read to most normal folks.

I can accept Dumble's writing about Harry's location and it not being a major issue. You just have to make sure no death muncher has had a copy of it somewhere to make the reasoning work.

Yes I realize the man was Russian, and I purposefully said like a spy movie referencing his speech. Its a peeve of mine when a author writes accents or dialects very heavily. Even knowing the man is Russian, the text of his "speech" stand out to those of us who are authors and search for every detail to make better. I think changing the guy to talk normal English, instead of broken grammar like that would change the character for the better, and it'd make a better point for me to believe this man is smart enough to make wands. You can't "hear" accents in fics, so the text reads like the man is a five year old, stuggling with his first words. Regardless the fic is still great, but once again to me, it just stands out as noticeable and just "off"

 

OK, I'm definitely over my writer's block on chapter 6. Hell, I've written over 4000 words since yesterday evening. It should be finished by tomorow, and amount to well over 12,000 words.

As for chapter 5, I've just sent it to my new beta. It should be up tomorow or by Sunday at latest.

Oh, and I'm linking this thread from my author's profile at FFN and redirecting reviewers here. Hope you don't mind.

 

Looking forward to the new chapter.

That's okay. Glad you like it here.

 

Forgot to do this earlier.

If someone isn't monitoring this thing on FFN, the new chapter is up.

So, there you go. Review if you feel like it.

 

Read it---Wonderful!
Ain't any other word for it!
though I'd like to see more of anarchia soon-

keep it up!

 

Good. Harry practicing mind magic on muggles reminded me of a scene in which Harry practices obliviating on Death Eaters that he'd captured. I think that was in RossWrock's Power of Time (and yes, I know you think that RossWrock is a douche, Midknight).

I have the feeling that you're going to give Harry Sirius' motorcycle. Am I right?

Now, where was that conversation with a snake that you'd mentioned? Or is that in chapter 6?

 

*smacks Burt for random hating of me*

Actually it's not just me, but I don't have a personal problem with the guy, other then people love his story for the strangest reasons, it's not even that good *shrug* the guy's just arrogant as hell, for someone who hasn't updated in how long he still talks like he's still working on it *shrug*

 

That wasn't my direct inspiration, but true, he did that first, along with many other things. It's strange that not many authors use Muggles as target dummies / manipulated servents / source of finances etc. Most invent some shit like moving dummies and 'dueling rooms'... I mean, where did you see someone with a shooting range as a normal part of his house? Ridiculous.

No, never crossed my mind. Even if the thing still exists and works after 15 years, it's probably locked up in Grimmauld Place (coz that's where Sirius spent his last days). Taxies aren't a big issue for Harry, coz he can always steal more muggle cash. I have a soultion for car problem planned, but that won't be seen anytime soon.

I'm finally done with the fucking thing, at least it turned out good. Yes, it's in the next chapter.

 

I found it kind of crass that the likes of Kingsley and Moody and Tonks were laughing at that Slytherin making jokes about people waiting in line to kill Harry. I would think that they cared about him a bit more than to find such a statement of widespread hate for the boy humorous. It's a small gripe though, and I did enjoy most of the chapter. Dumbles seems to be a fair stretch too far on the insane side, but you have already stipulated that you were going to portray him that way, so I was at least prepared for it.

 

The bit with Dumbledore playing chess against himself was funny. I like this crazy!Dumbledore.

Keep up the great work.

 

These people talked with Harry total of 2-3 times. For them, he's just this famous kid they are forced to protect for some reason. They don't hate him or like him - they're simply indifferent.

And telling jokes about Harry doesn't means anybody hates him. I mean, if you tell a joke about a blonde, does it mean you hate them? Don't forget, Harry is IS a celebrity in Britain. People generaly think that if you're a celebrity, they're free to take shots at you and no harm done.

Dumbles had just lived for too long. Many people forget that he's often portrayed as 'insane' and 'crazy' in canon. I figured, there has to be a reason for that. Insane, unscrupulous and brilliant Dumbledore is (for me) a way to go. He's definitely my favourite character.

 

Ehhehehe Meeexcellent, I love it!

 

Yes, Dumbledore chess turned out OK.

For those of you who don't know, it's inspired by a scene from the movie "Space Balls", where that Helmet guy plays with dolls of his enemies, and then tries to hide them when his evil lieutenant walks in. It was just "spur of a moment" thing, I was only trying to demonstrate what was possible with oblivation.

 

Enjoyed the new up date but i have got to agree with Lord Serapheth about the jokes but meh. The chess was brilliant i loved the idea of that, made me laugh quite a bit *takes hat off to you ip82*. Excellent cant wait for the next up date!

 

Ditto, looking forward to the next chapter.

 

I only just managed to catch up on this one. I simply don't have much time to read and a list of fics to check out the length of my arm.

I have to commend you on this one IP82, this is one hell of a story. I will also be waiting eagerly for an update. I love the whole premise behind the Anarchia sub society and it revolving around a book. The fact that the book has its own personality is great.

Looking forward to more!

 

Great Story

Great Story! Though sometimes i skip parts because they are just so boring!! I really hope that the summer doesn't take much longer. But i figure it won't because after a month they found out that he wasn't at the dursley's, a few days in knockturn alley and at least a week before he went to Australia and i believe they have 8 weeks summer vacation so that leaves only about 2 1/2 weeks before summers end. I hope that in the next chapter there is a lot of action. But i have to say I really really like your story and i hope the next chapter is up soon!

Oh and by the way i must say that it was a better read now that you have a beta (no offense) but sometimes i still miss a word in a sentence and i know that i also make mistakes when i write a story but sometimes it is a little annoying!!! BUT IT IS ONE HELL OF A STORY even with the mistakes!!!

 

Sorry, whole first part will be the summer before year 6. Second part will be Hogwarts. I'm doing this so I could close all the subplots and start the new ones fresh. Many authors abandon their fics when all the plots become too much to bear, so I'm trying to avoid that.

As for the timing, I'm intentionally not mentioning the exact dates, so to have enough space to work with. But your count is good, the story starts on July 31st, which makes the current date ~ August 10th. The story will speed up from now on.

Next chapter will have some action, but generally, there won't be much fighting in part 1. Harry is still too weak and inexperienced to take on the death eaters head on (which will be seen in the next chapter).
