1) Harry is falsely imprisoned in Azkaban, he's betrayed by his friends, he's declared innocent, they all want him back.

2) Harry is somehow Dark Elf, he's married to one and has an elven daughter. Oh, and he now looks like Malfoy.

3) Harry is the leader of Latino-like street gang, stituated in, of all the places, France.

4) Harry is working as a male striper in his free time, just for the fun of it.

...Yep, Silver Shadows is one fucked up fic.

Writing style is OK. Harry is standard powerful-elemental-martial arts master, nothing new there. Dumbledore and Ron are jerks. This fic is kinda hard to get in tune with, becaose of... well, just look at that list above.

In general slightly above-average, updated regulary. Worth your time.

 

I read up to like chapter 8 i think it was then he updated and it was so hard to get back into i ended up having to go back to chapter 7 to fully understand his reasoning! meh it's an okay story.

 

Yes, update rate / chapter length is just enough to keep you following the story, but loose track of the previous parts. It's very frustrating.

 

The story is adequate. No more

 

Not a bad story, but slow to start.

 

...What the hell...StarSilver, what the hell is wrong with you? Why on Earth would you possibly think that reviving a topic from the year 2005 is a good idea? I could understand if this was a sticky, or if you had something that's extremely relevant and, god forbid important to say, but it's blatantly obvious neither is the case.

And that's terrible. Go die in a fucking fire.

Hrm...I see that posting this was a bad idea after all (I had considered for several minutes whether or not I should flame or just ignore it, but - wrongly - came to the conclusion that posting this would be a good idea). This was placed in an edit for the simple fact that I didn't have anything relevant to the story to add, and thus didn't want to further clutter this.

...Just read the first two chapters. Doesn't interest me enough to read beyond that, for the simple fact that, for some reason, despite everything that Harry's done, seeing him in a room full of dead Death Eaters, Order members and Aurors is enough for all of Harry's friends to betray him. Too easy; lame, really. As I only read those two chapters, however, I will not give a rating.

 

Exact same thing said to me when I made a post like yours mate.

I read this a while ago and could never get into it, since nobody else has, I see no point in rating it.

 

Such venom in your post! And you are not even a mod. No offense but that was just irritating.

Anyway this story wasn't too bad when I read it last in early 06 however it was never anything special either. The whole idea of Harry's friends betraying him to Azkaban could be done better in general IMO. Usually follows the same build - up with his friends destroying all his possesions, stomping on hedwig which gets very boring very fast.

I'd give it a 2.5 thesedays.

 

THERE IS NO RULE AGAINST THIS IN THE LIBRARY. STOP YOUR BITCHING. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT HE DID THAT, NEG REP HIM!

Jesus, people, lighten up.

 

Actually we were both fairly nice compared to what we could have said. I posted something said to me by not only a senior member but a mod to boot, when I posted something eerily similar.

You on the other hand decided to pop in here and voice your CAPSLOCKED and rather unwanted opinion on a subject that had been dealt with through two fairly polite posts.

So... jesus, person, lighten up.

 

Edit: Glitched, identical double-post.

 

I dunno... Maybe to bump a good fic? I dunno about you, but I don't trawl through to archives all the way back to those posts made 2 years ago. If I like a fic and I want to recommend it, I bump it. Really, this way the fics that matter stay on the front page where they're easily accessible, and sometimes you contribute something even if you don't (Yeah, the makes no sense. But more grows in a garden than what the gardener sows.). That's the whole purpose of the Library. To create discussion and recommend fics; if someone want to revive a dead topic, I see nothing against it.

Especially when said topic has less than a page of commentary.

With that said, to give this post some point...

That qualifies this fic for a 5/5 right there, as far as I'm concerned. I can't really say anything else since I haven't read it yet, though...

 

The only reason this made it into the library in the first place was the update-rate. No more updates, so... do the math.

Harry doesn't read anywhere close like a mature person, despite his parenthood. The crowd of Original Characters he hangs out with, and the blindly hateful Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore are torturous to read. The elf heritage is the author's attempt to make Harry look fey.

The male stripper nonsense is not there for fun, but to please the slash fangirls, as is the kid Harry spawned. The chapters are exaggeratedly short, and the description is threadbare.

2/5 for being the stereotypical Azkaban story with the slash trappings.

 

Harry's OC friends are sorta annoying, everyone from his past twice as annoying. There's no plot, just sorta them fucking around in France. Still, when I read it three years ago, I thought it was pretty funny and a pretty unique story. The problem with reviewing old fics is that they're either a. retarded, or b. cliche. This is both. It has fucking fairy!Harry, which is just plain irritating now. But back then I'd only seen it several times, and not more times than I can count on the brain particles that splatter everywhere when I bash my head in impotent frustration. BUT, even though now there's probably a hundred this-story-but-ten-times-betters out there, I'll still give it a 3/5 because it entertained me back then.
