I will take it into consideration...

How the hell did you come with a name like that?

Extra points to YOU if you give me an answer that in no way sounds insane.

 

Methinks he was thinking of Jar Jar from Star Wars.

Honestly though, whenever I am stuck with a name in one of the things I write, I just write the story and use some derivative of the word Oog

For instance

Oog
Ooga (female)
Oogarina (female)
Ogg (male)
Oogy (male)
Oogy Woogy (male... maybe)

 

Jhub Jhub is the name of Aunt Selma's pet iguana on The Simpsons.

 

dude I ment basalisk not badalisk

 

Interesting...so, you get the extra points, apparently.

I'll have to take a raincheck on naming it Jhub Jhub, though...i've recently taken a fancy to calling it simply: TRON.

Cool?

Even more points if you know where i got the name from.

Necros...you spelled it wrong again. But no, i don't want to give him a phoenix/basilisk/griffin/snake. I chose Iguana because it's a lizard, so it should speak parseltongue, and because it will play no role at all. It will sit in the sun like all lizards do, and contribute absolutely nothing to the plot except for some sarcastic wit.

 

dude can we atleast have harry go to a black sabbath concert during the summer

 

lol, I like the iguana idea. I've never seen it done before, and it sounds like it will be an.. interesting contribution to the story. ^^ (but I'm more than a tad pleased he won't have some magical iguana following him everywhere and having Harry listen to his "advice" like he didn't own a brain himself)

I was going to post this as soon as I spotted it, went here, and went through the whole process, review and everything, only to realize the author was a member of DLP when checking the spelling of the username. Like others, I'd assumed it had already been posted. My shame!

I really like this story. I'd type more about why, but I think you've recieved enough spaz-y reviews on FF.net from me already, so I'll spare you the pain of analyzing abilities. Only a 3-4 day wait? I can handle that. (On a second thought, I can't fricken wait!)

A good band, but isn't it a bit "out of character" of this Harry to have such a large involvement in the "muggle" world like that? I mean, when would he have the chance to get involved in "muggle" music fandom?

 

Yeah...i like the idea of a pet, but when it takes up too much of the story, me no like anymore.

Would you just so happen to be Shadowed Rains? I remember a mention of being spaz-y.

Come on, Necros...a little class would be appreciated. Black Sabbath? Screw that, mate, if you're going for that sort of music, then Pantera all the way!

 

To OOc if he suddenly just goes to a big concert when he never been to a small one before.Plus he can't just out of the blue likes Rock music,theres a whole other kind of different music to choose from.

 

Is something wrong with FFNet?

Everything seems to be working fine, except the hit counter, and maybe the review counter.

I checked my stats on Sunday night, and they were at 15,337...that number hasn't changed at all, when i usually got about 800 hits a day.

I can't tell about the reviews, but they've been stuck on 120 as well, and i usually get at least 2-3 each day.

Dunno.

 

Yeah, Mrriddler mentioned something about that on the Fanfic stats topic. They probably screwed something up on their recent upgrade. I don't check my own stats often enough to tell (not that I'd expect much change) ... but I don't think it's just you. A lot of people seem to be having problems.

Maybe you have to check the page or something? (I have no idea, really) Like with C2's, it doesn't show how many subscribers you have unless you go to the C2 stats page. (at least for me).. :? That probably wouldn't work. *shrugs* I have no clue.

And, yes, my FF.net penname is "Shadowed Rains".

 

eh.. ff.net likes to have these momments just to annoy us.


Well it was a good story save for the Cho fluff. A tad early I thought but whatever.

Look forward to the next chapter.


@the idiot who suggested going to a Black Sabbath concert. Again it doesnt fit in this story. The music type doesnt fit him, let alone does he even take an interest in music.

 

I don't think there is a need for name calling,it's disrespectful.Let's keep this discussion clean,except when we're discussing about Ginny of course.

 

Well, I'm at least a little better knowing that the stats mix-up isn't just me. Looks like only the hit counter is frozen as I can still get reviews. They'll probably fix it as soon as the staff get off of their lazy ass.

 

I'm getting irritated.

I have about 7,000 words on chapter 4, but it's pissing me off. It just isn't coming across the way i want it to.

I guess this is the thing about being an author. I want to post a chap up, people apparenty want to read it. Then again, i'm not satisfied with the chap myself.

Sorry, guys. I'm gonna have to rework this chapter. Maybe another week, tops.

My apologies.

Necros: Wasn't Black Sabbath broken up in 1996? They got back together for a reuinion tour like a year ago, right?

 

Take your time.Don't fret about us.It's the Quality that matters not Quantity.

 

but quanity is nice to

 

Quantity is nice when there is a good taste of Quality to it.If there is good quantity and not good qaulity, what's the point of reading the story if the Author isn't dedicated to write a good quality story for it'e readers to read.

Apocalypso is trying to do both,That's the kind of dedication he has to his fans.

Keep up the good work.

I like how it is progressing but the broomstick's(ginny) death must come to pass at some point, otherwise can dumbles choke on a poisoness lemon drop? :mrgreen:

 

Nice praise, i agree though. There are dedicated authors who are dedicated to writing short good chapters, there are bad authors who write long crappy chapters (Vorlorn in my opinion), and there are those who do both, and that is what makes a great story..
