Hmm, I've read ff.net fics by the hundreds - and I've found A/Ns that not only are much more lengthy than yours but in some cases are longer than the fic itself. As of a few days ago they were still on, too. So.. I really don't think that, given the overall length of Sunset, your A/N really don't seem THAT long. Personally, I don't think there's any reason for "them" to boot you off. On a side note, I had always hoped that JKR would introduce a HP/HG ship but.. I felt kind of disappointed at the end of vol06. :| So, I guess I'll have to keep reading your ideas of a H&H matchup ^^ Ralph |

I was just wondering if you plan to put out your previous two story inAt the moment my own personal plans are to continue writing Sunset. I probably could do as you ask, but since Yahoo only gives us a paltry 20mb for storage here, it would be a shame to waste the space doubling up files. Part of the problem is that Sunset may very well take up a lot more chapters than DA or SC. Both of which were in the mid teens. Here I am working on chapter 12 and I haven't even had christmas yet. - Bob |

Chapter 11 Review
Vern
Hi, thought I'd review here instead of on FF so I can see your
response. I still haven't figured out how to over there, but then I'm a slow old handyelf and these here newfangled electronical gizmos tend to make me a little batty. (I heard that smirk) Ah hem, now on with the review. That was bloody brilliant. Such a moving and inspired bit of literature I have seldom scene in the annals of fanficdom. Are you suitibly impressed? have I gotten your attention? Goody, really I just wanted to say that the way you put that chapter together was quite well done. I am greatly enjoying Harry and his attempts to be patient with Dumbdore and Snarvellus, and the way they just keep trying, and he just keeps pushing them out of his way. The Ball was a hoot. Ron, Dean, and Seamus just don't get it, maybe one day... Loved the scene in the rose garden as Draco finally gets a clue. Gotta love Luna and her sweet dottiness. Then again, she is such a lady in the way she deals with attackers. I guess ya gotta wonder who trained those two trolls to look like students. They couldn't possibly be human and be that clueless could they? Ah well, at least the two lovers got back to the dance. Looking forward to Xmas at Grimmauld Place and to the revelation of Harry's big plan, that should be very interesting. Thanks loads for sharing such fine work with your adoring fans. Vern |

Chapty 11
Ok, do you guys prefer reviews here, or on ff.net? also, do you prefer
new threads, or reply's to other threads? so many options.... I would say great work, but that would be an understatement, and then there is all the usual "damn man, i can't wait to read more, get your buts in gear" etc. but whats the point? your writting is great, and you know it! and you only made me late for work twice! but then again, i could blame my alarm clock... i know how hermy feels about spiders, since ive lived in this house, i've had them crawl on my while trying (i dont sleep easily) to sleep, and thinking it was lent, i grabbed it, crushed it, and threw it, and counting the number of marks on my wall *counts* only 10? well, i gues i did only trap a few, and i can't really see the marks on my floor... well, i get alot of "visitors" in my room, i see a spider, i kill it (they make a nice crackling sound when they burn*evil grin*) I do feel sorry for harry's leg....if only he could cut it open, and then get more phoenix tears.... or you know, cut it off, and re-grow it, but then i spose that petty-gross would have done that too hus finger.... R.A.B. Regulas Assinine(wtf is his middle name?) Black or so i think.... if thats even what you were talking about.... poor DUMbubbler, went and got killed for nuthing... Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children, CANT WAIT BABY YEAH!!! I'm even replaying the game (currently trying to finish getting Cloud's and Aeris' final limits, Disk One, Before Temple of the Ancients, both have Level 3-2) I think I missed one of the turtle paradise's flyers, damnit Enough babble, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!.... or end, i think its "bed time" Nite! |

Dumbledore who refuses to see that all his careful planning is not going to go to plan, real people came along and ruined it for him and oh no they took the glory with them. I love that he and Snivellus are stuck to the ceiling inside the doors, I hope the house elves can do nothing for them except cast a cushioning charm for when they fall, which unfortunately wears off just as they fall, and Madam Pomfrey is away for Christmas.

Chapter 11 Review
CRS
Yay! Another chapter!
I'm going to put my review here, because I like it better. :) I liked the snowflake necklace, and I would love to hear more about it, when it starts picking on Hrmione's moods. Imagine Harry seeing it darken and running away..... What's up with Ron? I know he's protective of Ginny, but what's in it for Dean and Seamus? And what happened to them? "Firing at the same areas..." that made me wince. Could we have a treat "infirmary scene"? With details on their injuries?... Draco/Luna. I love it! Will Luna ever drop her mask completely in front of her friends? "They don't drop it in piles..." More T-Shirt fun! Please? Pretty please? Pretty please with sugar on top? Pretty please with sugar on top and honey?..... Okay, I've said this before, but I HATE WAITING!!! And most of all, I hate not knowing. You guys don't leave cliffies, but cause much more anticipation with every chapter. What's Harry's grand scheme? Can we have a few hints? When will he leave to Myrrdin's place? I guess that's where he is going, right? "Harry Potter, the Hero with the Limp." I figured you'd do something like this. After that Matura, magic can't get him, but physically.... Ermmm... that's it. I'm off to read the latest chapter of Abraxan's story now. Story recs: Check the Yahoo group . The story is on FF, I think. The trilogy is awesome! Not complete yet, though... Check this group too: The story is on FF, but the group is a chapter ahead. -Crs __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

If you prefer here, be our guest. Goody, really I justI know everyone is dying to see what Harry has up his sleeves. Well it ain't a rabbit. :) I suppose I could tell everyone just what is going to happen in a special scene at grimmauld place.... or I could reveal the reasons WHY the plan must happen, then eventually, unfold the plan in all its majesty as it happens. Personally the second option sounds better if you ask me Vern. It's my own way of tormenting you readers. And you guys love it. :P - Bob |

Hi and stuff, and a review
ausfinbar
Greetings and Salivations
I'm just this deranged aussie who does so like his HP fanfic. I also just found this group, despite having read DA from the third chapter when it was posted and obsessively ever since. (Much kudos not only for your writing style, engrossing plots and thematic elements, but also for the speed with which you write, which is far faster than my paltry efforts) I have really been enjoying this story so far and finally thought to ask a few questions: The new Prophecy: THE BASTION OF LIGHT WILL FALL IN THE TIME OF THE BULL… AND THE CHOSEN CHILD MUST FLEE THE ISLE OF MYRDDIN'S BIRTH… DARKNESS WILL ENGULF THE LAND AND THE REALM OF UTHER'S SON WILL BURN…AS LIGHT IS SWALLOWED BY DARK THE DEFENDER MUST WATCH FROM A FAR… THE BASTION OF LIGHT WILL FALL IN THE TIME OF THE BULL…" I was breaking it down, As I understand it, in May, Hogwarts will fall, which is the cue for Harry and Co to flee England (I do note that Scotland wasnt part of Uther's son's realm, so no burnination up there, neither in Ireland, just Lower and central england and wales). Doesnt Harry own lands on the Isle of Wight? or Ireland? Northern Scotland? I'd be amazed if the Potters or Blacks didnt own any in those areas. Or will he be going to another part of the world? I'm all in favour of him heading to Australia till May from Christmas, then heading back to deal with Voldi. Other points: Is it just me or is Bellatrix's arm blown off in diagon alley in far too many fics? This makes about 8 different stories I have read where that happens *grins* Draco/Luna: That has to be the strangest paring I have seen short of the Draco/Squid one I once saw..... and just as wrong. Damm your stories are addictive. I find myself hanging out for my next fix before you publish it. Do the Potter and Black families have seats on the Wizamgamot? If so, how will Harry be treating these? Will he be voting or just proxy his seats off to someone he trusts like Amelia? Monkeys: enough said Narcissa Malfoy: Kind hearted mother who has been cruelly abused, or does she also buy into the whole pure-blood superiority like her sister Bellatrix? Tonks: Will she and Andromeda be added back onto the Black family tapestry with Bellatrix removed? Pants! How are the other Slytherins reacting to this new 'supposedly dark' Harry? Obviously they will do nothing publically, but now he has been moved from 'Pawn of the Headmaster', someone that no Slytherin would ever trust, to unknown agents/quantity. For that matter, what about the ravenclaws and puffs? Or are they sheep like the Gryffs? Damm, thats a lot of questions, but I'm new to the group and it's things that have bugged me *grins* Thansk for reading and Thankyou for writing such wonderful work. Cheers Finbar |

Markus,
We don't mind that you've combined the files and posted them. Why don't you add your URL to the Links section of the group? Anyone who suggests stories should also post the links in the section as well as in their messages here.

Fic Recommendation (H/G)
"The Refiner's Fire" is a complete, novel-length (930 pages) post-OoP sixth year story telling how Harry learns to cope with the loss of Sirius and how he faces the growing challenges Voldemort puts in his path. Rated "M" (Mature) for violence (we are at war, folks) and sexual content (the kids are growing up). And FYI, since I'm tired of answering the "ship" question or hoping new readers will just enjoy the story and watch it develop without worrying about whether this story "ships" their way or not, I'm finally going to post the ships here: Harry/Original Character at first, then Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Remus/Tonks. "The Time of Destiny" is the sequel to "Refiner's" and is rated "M" for the same reasons "Refiner's" has that rating. "Destiny" is still being written (I'm on chapter 32 at present) and will probably run 35-40 chapters in length, with chapters averaging from 26-50 pages, so it is already far longer than "Refiner's." "Destiny" begins literally minutes after "Refiner's" ends, and covers the summer and Harry's Seventh Year. Harry develops his magical skills, finds out interesting things about himself, snogs a lot with Ginny, plays Quidditch, gets in trouble from time to time (mostly with Voldemort and the DE's) and generally has a "typical" Harry Potter year (at least a "Refiner's Fire" Harry Potter-style year), with a lot of excitement, fun and danger, as well as romance. "Destiny's" ships are Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione and Remus/Tonks. |

Re: Fic Recommendation (H/G)
CRS
I think most of us here at snorkack have read
Abraxan's work. Bob and Alyx recommended it in one of their first chapters of SoB (I just love that acronym!). I suppose that most of you have read "The Power Of Emotion" by Melindaleo. It has a completed sequel too. H/G, R/Hr. Then there's everything written by Jeconais. Here's a link to his page. Give it a try. He makes all pairings look good, trust me. . ummm.... What else... Give "Harry Potter and the Runespoor Shield" a look. It's a great fic, completed, too. That's it for now. -Crs --- Treck <trecklar@...> wrote: Ohhhhh I highly recommend this as well.snorkack-unsubscribe@...<snorkack-unsubscribe@...?subject=Unsubscribe> - Your use of Yahoo!

Re: Fic Recommendation (H/G)

?
Agreed, Abraxan's fics are great. I'd also suggest
?
{A} "Do Not Meddle In The Affairs Of Wizards" by Corwalsh (),
?
{B} "Harry Potter and the Judgement of Fools" by Lilys1000words (),
?
{C} Harry Potter and the Azkaban Parody" by Fangalla Marie (),
?
{D} "Shadow Play" by Thor Nairda (), and
?
{E} "Detention" by Barkeeper [used to be Lady FoxFire] ().
?
C and E are good for a laugh, Barkeeper's "Death, Destroyer of Worlds" is also good.
A, B, and C are Azkaban-themed fics, one of my favs, and not the most serious or dreary kind.
D is a more active Harry with no real pairing (as far as I can tell) though at the start it looks like a Harry/Blaise.
Also, none but "Detention" has been finished, and I'm rather anxious for the updates.
?
Enjoy!
?

Ack! My mistake (rats) Barkeeper isn't Lady FoxFire, and didn't write "Death, Destroyer of Worlds", though Detentions is still good for a laugh. Lady FoxFire and Death can be found at ?and ?respectively. Sorry! An Wen Tan wrote:

SoB Chpt 11 feedback
yorath_thewolf
well this was a fun chpt. gotta love the way that Gin has influenced
Luna... ya really do... well as long as you aren't on the recieveing end of any of that influence anyway. and considering what Snivarious and the Old Fool did to Harry there at the end, really wished that the payback had been more through... or at least violent, ya know just to satisfy my baser instincts. still as it appears that the Outcasts will be leaveing Briton around Boxing Day(one assumes that's why there's the big rush to get everyone at one place at the same time on that day) perhaps it's for the best. and mentioning the Outcasts leaveing plans, I eagerly await to see just what Harry has planed. eagerly awaiting more. |
