Sequel

I stopped reading this fic a while ago, but the author has posted a rough draft to a sequel on her yahoo group if anyone's interested. It can be found here. She posted it a few weeks ago. I have no idea if it's any good.

 

...No.

After the way the first one ended...

No.

I can't help but wonder if the ending was like that because the author couldn't come up with anything resembling an original idea for a second fic, and made an easy out.

 

I read the sequel rough draft, its different as it starts of at the end of the 4th year. Harry, instead of saving his brother Daniel, he just lets Voldermort kill Daniel. I found this stupid because by letting Daniel be killed of, his parents and Dumbledore will be more actively intrested in him now Daniel is dead. Harry wanted to be able to do things that some may qrestion, but how can he do any of the task he set out if he has the Order, Dumbledore and his Parents trying to be around him, mould him into a Daniel replacement.

After reading the first story, wiating patiently for the updates and then finally the last chapter has arrived, reading it was like a slap on the readers face. No way I'm reading the sequel, just seeing how the first one ended has put me of the sequel. This story has potential of being 'good', but it got fucked in the end with the whole wierd travel back in time thing. Reading the sequel draft, well you can see how thats turning out.

'Sigh', no one can write a realisticly good WBWL twin story these day.

 

I'll read it.

Despite all my complaints it is still better than most of the Twin-who-lived fics. Only beaten by Unknown Relations series by Ksomm, and that is only because of the horrible ending.

Edit: A pretty good start, though it felt a bit rushed.

 

For some reason, I decided to read this. It was not good. Yet I felt compelled to read all the way to the end. Quite the mistake.

2/5

 

Got a link for that?

I wouldn't touch anything this bitch wrote if everything else was simultaneously deleted from the interwebz. Unsung pissed me off *that* much.

 

I was caught at a weak moment and ended up checking out her yahoo group. It turns out she posted the sequel's prolog about a week ago. Surprisingly it's not bad. Harry appears (mostly) ruthless and

Spoiler

lets Voldemort kill Daniel within the first few paragraphs. It seems she may have Harry gain memories from the Horcruxes which hopefully will give him an advantage.

I'll probably regret it, but it seems like it'll be worth it to keep reading for a while.

 

After the ending of Unsung Hero, I can't read anything she writes without barfing or killing myself because the chance is that she'll end this one like a fucking retard to.

 

I could give a shit about this story now.

I just wanted to say: I LOVE YOUR AVATAR. O_O

 

Just thought I'd let people know that she's started a sequel to this.

It starts in the graveyard at the end of GoF, Harry lets Daniel die.

 

Interesting. Is it any good?

While it's hypocritical for me to say this (my own last longer story had a less than gratifying ending), I think after Unsung Hero's finale, it would take a pretty strong endorsement to get me to pick up another of her stories.

I find the premise of a redo fic to a fanfic strikes me as a little weird.

 

It's only a tiny prologue at the moment so there's not much to judge by, and the author's note says that updates are going to be irregular.

It's like she tries to stop people from reading her story or something.

 

The prologue is all right. I'm going to follow it for the time being, at least to see where it goes, before making up my mind.

 

The prologue is larger in her Yahoo group.

 

I couldnt finish the first one. I stopped like the chapter after flitwicks house was attacked.

 

Huh, that reminds me... Flitwick was like his only supporter, right? Enough so that Harry actually took his last name?

At the end of the story we find out that there was some kind of protective spell over Harry that made people not notice him, or care about him or something, right?

So how did Flitwick see through this?

On another note, I actually really enjoyed lots of this fic, before the ending. Seemed like she got tired of it, and killed off everyone just for shits and giggles.

 

I'm pretty sure that is what happened. The beauty of non-published work, eventually if she feels the need she can go back and work on the ending.

^^; I mean, hasn't anyone else ever felt the need to just sayfuckit to a story and move on to more engaging matters? I know I have.

 

I think the line where she says,

Spoiler

". . . because he could make great decisions,"

would have been stronger if it had been

Spoiler

". . . because he could make great decisions--terrible decisions, but great." It would have harkened back on what Ollivander said when he got his wand. Also, anyone can make a "great" decision, but the truely great leaders in history had to be able to make some terrible decisions as well.
