    True. Be glad it wasn't a Harry/Ginny and a Ron/Hermione story though, we've offended at least 2 authors I can think of by them writing cliched crap-by-the-numbers, heh

    Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione... *shudders*

    If your story is crap and has those two pairings... heh... I suggest you head for hills. :p

    I've read it up to chapter 5 and I must say, this story is total crap.

    Writing isn't THAT bad, but illogical, clished and uterly stupid plot is completely burying this thing.

    1 tbsp. of cliches
    2 cups of anger
    1 lb of grammatical errors

    MIx together in the mind of a once great author for 5 minutes (rush it) in 350 degrees

    DrakeHouse, it's nice to see someone open to constructive criticism, unlike some people (Vorlon666 anyone?).

    It certainly is a welcome change :)

    All I can say is, keep listening to these guys, they're the pick of litter.

    Best authors ever.

    This one must have accidentally slipped into the library before the rating system. It was almost universally reviled in 2005, and for good reason.

    The writing is just terrible, full of grammar mistakes, misspellings, and poor characterization. Here's a sample:

    It doesn't get better. Harry is visited by his mother's ghost, and it turns out that she and Petunia are Grindelwald's daughters. Dumbledore just put a massive memory charm on them. Right.

    I didn't make it to the point of the story where he teams up with Draco, but I can't imagine it was an improvement.

    1/5
