    He probably meant composure, because Harry doesn't own a composer(at least in canon).

    Yes, idiotic mistakes like those are what make up an "awesomely bad" fanfic. Most of it at least.

    On the papers the Goblins have it would have Black Manor but it wouldnt have an address for it because of the charm. The Goblins would know there is a manor but not where it is.


    Edit:Fixed it for Dark since he can't find the edit button you newbie! -Mid

    Must people always describe what the other person is wearing? That just gets on my nerves.

    Harry nows the secret of the WANDERING HEN!!!!!!

    I've heard it roams late at night...PECKS OUT THE EYES OF PATHETIC LOVE-SICK WIZARDS!!!!!



    I just laughed at that line. Stop thinking and just imagine tonks asked him a question and harry's first response is "Wandering hen."


    Don't mentally correct it, just imagine it. :closes eyes and imagines Harry saying that: (God I love absurdist humor)


    This story is HILARIOUS

    "The Bigining to a great love "

    wow.. you know the bad thing.. I've seen a story like this... written by someone who used to come here, that got hundreds of reviews within a week of being posted, and they were almost all positive.

    Really made me not want to continue my story at all if people are that damned retarded.

    glad i could help srispg! ^_^


    yeah mid you are right... all the retarded idiots do make you want to stop.. but its my personal opinion that the few intelligent reviewers that enjoy the well written stories and hard work you put into stories make it all worth it even if most of the population is full of idiots... i mean.. you dont commit suicided to quit living because 90% of the world is stupid do you? nope..

    that is true, but when you figure for the chapters I posted that I didn't write here, I did hours upon hours of research for my notes, a good 80%+ I haven't used yet, just so someone can read a awesome chapter and reply via email or a PM here with "You keep )@(*&^(@ saying SHOULD OF, instead of SHOULD HAVE you retard!!!1!one!!uno1!!" It tends to discourage the shit out of you. I gave up paying attention to it, and I'm gonna "write" it the way I want. (For those of you who don't know I use Voice recog, instead of typing for my story and notes)

    new item: both stories on http://www.fanfiction.net/u/860512/

    he blatantly rips off "Awakening of a Magus", which he admits to "using ideas from" and then proceeds to damned near copy and paste quite a bit from. If that's not bad enough you can't read the damned thing, it's a jumble of text. Plagery, and then can't take the borrowed material and at least make it readable... okkkkaaaay. Not trying to bash the guy here, but what the hell??

    example from his wonderfully named story "Awakening of a MAGE" ...notice the difference?

    example.. notice the start of the story fragment:
    example from the other one.

    hmm... I just noticed something that's got me very annoyed... in my story I describe magical cores., granted I know it's not earth moving, but it's a half assed quick explanation I used as a focal description of power, pay attention to the words in BOLD.:


    The perviously linked author in his Dark Mage story describes magic cores as thus in http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2530016/3/ look for the bold again.:

    he describes Dumbledore earlier as being a sorcerer, with a core the size of a large orange.. I describe him as a softball... which is the same size as a large orange.

    His Harry is filled with magic, mind is mostly filled with it. His mage takes up the torso, mine takes up the torso, with a secondary stolen core at Harry's head.

    My Harry's magic is a living part of him, his Harry's has become one with the magic...


    Should I be annoyed as hell, or am I reading way too much into this?
