    Just read the first chapter. It's somewhat run-of-the-mill, but otherwise excellent - lots of broken bones.

    -Reading the second chapter as I post this-

    /Spacing added so it's easier to check at a glance.

    I thought this story was well written, but I was confused for a bit in the second chapter. While I was reading the first chapter, I thought "Sam Wolf" was Harry but he isn't.

    My one gripe about this story the comparison of the Ministry and Auror offices to Muggle buisnesses. I just don't see Aurors as the kind of people who sit in cubicles doing paperwork half the time.

    Huh? Harry is Sam Wolf.

    Woa, I think I need to reread the story. In the second chapter Harry mentioned "Sam Wolf" as a person, so unless he refers to himself in the third person, they're two different people. Yeah, I think I'm going to read it a couple more times.

    Taken from the second chapter. Why would Harry have to hear about his actions or refer to himself as "this Sam Wolf"?

    Yeah, in the first chapter (which repeats itself twice) we're under impression that Sam is Harry. In the 2nd chapter, we see that it's not true (unless Wolf is Harry's second personality).

    Great story so far, but we have yet to see what this is all about.

    Hmm... an interesting start, I think. Some nice violence, although it needs a bit o' proofreading. The ambiguity, if intentional, is not appreciated, but the story seems to be progressing nicely. Right now, I'll give it a:
    3/5

    A 3/5, that's that much appreciated. Thanks to Jeram for putting this up here.

    Jeram? Lol.

    It was actually Xiph0 that put it up, and I who actually found it and suggested Xiph0 to read it.

    Anyway, I like it. I thought Harry was 'Sam Wolf' at first, but the second chapter seems to kill that idea. Either that, or Harry's a psycho who speaks about himself in third person. Duel personalities?

    Anyway, good so far.

    Really, oops. My mistake. Thanks to you and Xiph0 then.

    Nah, Harry's perfectly sane. Sam isn't though, but that's kind of obvious.

    Just in case it hasn't been noted I have updated.

    I hope chapter 3 helps to answer IP's question about what the fic in general is about. If not then clearly I'm not trying hard enough.

    Also, just to clarify Harry is not Sam Wolf. :) Good, no more confusion.

    I'm also hoping that any ambiguity that snuck in, most of which was unintentional, doesn’t show up again.

    And that's about all I've got to say. :)

    Gone. Author's profile page show no stories. There are three chapters in the DLP.net archives, otherwise considering this abandoned.
