    Title: We are nothing
    Author: Ruskbyte
    Rating: M
    Genre: Horror/Supernatural
    DLP Category: Dark Arts
    Pairing: None
    Status: WIP
    Summary: Snape's Occlumency lessons have shattered the last defences of Harry's mind. Now, completely unprotected, his dreams have become home to a nightmare other than Voldemort. A nightmare that has taken on a life of its own. Harry Potter/A Nightmare on Elm Street Crossover
    Link: FF.net

    A typical Ruskbyte work. It's only 5 chapters(34000 words) but I think we can see where this is headed. I won't say much about the plot because it would be telling but we can see some gruesome death scenes, a few unexpected deaths aand so much more.

    It isn't the best since the cakes lie ,but it keeps me entertained.Plus it's Freddy.

    Eventually, he will finish them. I have complete faith in him. *Strikes a heroic pose. Looks away to the sunset.*

    This is the best thing Ruskbyte's written since Culture Shock, and it's already half as long. The obvious Ruskbyte ending would be that Harry and Freddy end up leaving on good terms somehow, but something in me hopes that he bucks that and one of them kills/severely inconveniences the other. (If by some miracle we get any ending at all)

    Yeah, this is pretty awesome.

    Pansy's death was very well done.

    Luna seemed supremely creepy in this chapter, and that's the best kind of Luna.

    Pretty cool story and the deaths are different enough to be interesting every time. I noticed a few spelling/grammar errors though, so down to 4/5 for me.

    I just don't really see where this story should go. Just slashing yet another victim is a bit aimless and slashing for the sake of slashing might get a bit dull.

    Thought it's better than those harry becoming independent in a night and decides to start pranking malfoy,snape and umbridge to get revenge.

    5/5

    That's Freddy in general, though.

    Exactly. That is why I find this story boring.

    I know this is just me not liking the genre, but there is nothing in it but pointless murder.

    That's maybe because YOU'RE boring?! o_O

    I absolutely LOVE the story so far. I really, really hope he finishes the story! 5/5 from me, so far. I'll vote officially on this site when there's more chapters.

    I give it a 4/5. It's good, but it feels like it's lacking that last little bit of shiny awesomeness that would push it into 5/5 territory. Maybe the next chapters will change that.

    I know better than to get my hopes up about this being finished, but based on the rate of updates I'm starting to think there's an end in sight.

    Meh. It started out very interestingly, but became boring quite quickly. With the author's stated "no one is safe" mantra, I expected Hermione or Ron or McGonagall or even Dumbledore (you get the picture) to have been killed by now. Snape and Malfoy and even Finnegan are to be expected given the context, but why not Umbridge already?

    To completely kill the story for me, there's the fact that Harry is apparently a sociopath, since he knows for certain what's causing all this, and yet he's kept his mouth shut and his head down, hoping he isn't blamed. It's just so OOC that I can't get behind it.

    I'm sure someone will say that Harry is traumatized by Snape's attacks, etc., but in any case, it's nothing more than a guilty pleasure fic, no matter the next victim.

    3/5 for an interesting premise.

    Pretty much what Portus said. It started out great but now it's just repeated killing off of minor characters with no real plot advancement or suddenness to their deaths since he's given away the victim in advance every time. It's pretty ridiculous that Harry hasn't told someone whats going on or made atleast a bit more effort to find out how to stop things quickly, rather than wait god knows how long for Hermione's parents to reply.

    3/5 as is, with the possibility of being a 4/5 if it picks up.

    Keeping your head down when something deadly is going around wantonly murdering others isn't the act of a sociopath, it's human nature. It being completely and utterly against Harry's nature, that part I agree with.

    So telling responsible adults like Dumbledore and being forceful about dreamless sleep potion is irrational?
    I'd expect him to care a bit more about other people.

    Question. How can he contact Dumbledore when even the other teachers don't know where he is?

    And by the way, he was afraid that he will go to azkaban.
    Even he has his limits. He doesn't want to go to dementor infested prison over a few hated enemies deaths.
