No forgiveness only punishment and retribution!! *grins brightly* Let the wench suffer!

You have several right now that I'm dying to see updates to that are wonderful stories. Family Matters - is a wonderful fiction (and its in our links) Like A Phoenix from the Ashes - is superb and I'm dying to see Ginny learn the truth and realize exactly what she's lost. Personally I'd suggest some very serious grovelling on her part before you even let Harry CONSIDER forgiving that girl. Sorcerer's Apprentice - another wonderful fic in need of an update. (Now I bet you wished you stuck with one fic at a time like we do...) Three for all - a Honks/Hermione fic. Normally I'm not a big fan of honks fics, but this one works if you ask me. Another fic in need of an update. All these fics can be found at If you're over 18, or of legal age in your country, and have some clue how humans procreate then I suggest looking into these. If you haven't a clue... well I'm sorry :) - Bob |
Re: Ch. 14 - Amesbury, England
开云体育I actually have the next chapters of several of my
In Progress stories open in my word processor.? I did a count, and I have
EIGHT stories in need of completion, in various stages thereof.? I've
probably the shortest distance to the end with Like A Phoenix, which could end
in as few as three to five chapters (we'll see where it goes).? My Father's
Image is probably the one with the greatest distance to go, and the one I'm
working on slowest, because plans for it could devolve parts of the story into
PWP (either Porn Without Plot or Plot? What Plot?, depending on your
preferences).? It will tend toward more sex than I usually put in, with
something to probably offend everyone (femmeslash, some possible slash, at least
one possible instance of incest), but they all have SOMETHING to do with the
story, oddly enough.
?
I am working on them all, and am making copious
notes on another one that is insisting I write it, with so many cliches in it
that it becomes its own cliche.? Girl Who Lived is the twin sister of the
one everyone THINKS is the Boy Who Lived.? I refuse to start that one until
I get Phoenix or one of the others completed, at least.
?
Oh, for those curious, work has begun again, after
more than a year's hiatus, on Harry Potter and the Ring of Doom.? That's
one of the eight.
?
Does my ego wonders to see that someone whose
writing I respect likes my writing.

AMESBURY is the town nearest Stonehenge, which also has *another* smaller circle and the ruins of the abbey where Guinevere was supposedly cloistered. So there's Arthurian connotations all over the place. And Stonehenge/Amesbury would probably go down together. And I still think that the town has some significance, unless Bob and Alyx are just going to add a little "canon character death" pathos by blowing up Lavender Brown when she's home for Easter hols. Of course, Avebury really isn't all that far from Amesbury/Stonehenge either. We shall just have to wait and see. Dorothy |

Re: Crucio
I don't know about "good", but here's a culturally "different"
reason ... I'm writing a story with some Native American elements in it. As we know if we have not restricted our reading to PC texts, there were some elements of Native cultures which were rather unpleasant - so a cruciatus could be used not only to torture captured warriors but to train the warriors of one's own tribe to resist pain, so that if, for example, they were wounded while on a scout mission they wouldn't give the mission away by crying out, or something like that. Also so that if they were captured themselves, they could endure torture to gain maximum honor. I can see wizard samurai doing something similar - if you've trained under cruciatus, you can pretty much ignore the pain of seppuku. Probably the Norse or the Mongolians could have used it for similar reasons. Endurance tests as part of manhood rites are big in a lot of cultures. Things are different in a warrior/barbarian culture. It's only when the culture is "civilized" that no purpose is seen for it.

Re: Crucio
The Cruciatus spell can be used for good. Some have suggested it wasyeah right, and enervate then? the crucio can be used, of course, but it is a spell that deliberatly cause pain. Wouldn't it be simpler to create a spell with the same result but without the pain? Also, wouldn't casting it repeatedly on someone build up a resistanceSame thing, one could improve their resistence in pain by using other spell and potion that numb the nerves... |
Crucio
Quote SoB, Chapter 14:
"Now mind you, not all spells can be thrown into such light. The Cruciatus curse, for example, has no good use that I can see." The Cruciatus spell can be used for good. Some have suggested it was originally a medical spell to wake patients up from comas. Also, wouldn't casting it repeatedly on someone build up a resistance to pain? |
Ch. 14 - Amesbury, England
Okay, my reading of the new prophecy ... Lucius Malfoy's efforts to
destabilize things in the Muggle world will continue until somebody manages to drop a missle (or maybe a flaming airplane) on "ancient stones." This could be Hogwarts, but I don't think so, since taking Hogwarts is one of Voldemort's goals. It could also be Stonehenge, if only because that's the most ancient set of stones anybody thinks about in England, and it's been linked with Merlin in its mythology. But there's another set of stones, equally as old and also having Merlin links: Amesbury, a stone circle big enough to have a town in the middle of it ... the town where Norma Brown seems to live. I don't think you would have brought that specific town into the story without a reason. So I think it's the Amesbury circle (and town) that will be blown up, thus starting the twenty days that Harry's group will have for the evacuation. The question is whether that site is picked for Muggle reasons, for Voldemort's reasons, or as a result of what Molly Weasley has done, getting Norma Brown involved. I can't wait to find out.

Help! Quidditch!
Hi.
I'm a sucker for good Quidditch. I will read any fic that has a match in it. I disagree with the implication that Quidditch is the sign of a weak fic. Badly written action is the sign of a weak author/beta. Sports action is VERY different than dueling. I've played all the HP video games in a quest to experience it right. None really match my imagination, though. I see Quidditch being a very rough sport, one that is up there with rugby and American Football. At 100 mph. In the air. On brooms. None of the kid 'hogwarts' quidditch... world cup or professional stuff. :) Here's my request: Anyone have recommendations for fics that are Quidditch based? I've seen "Daily Prophet Reporting"s stuff... but I'm looking for more real, good quality sportswriting. I'm spoiled. I've read enough (and written) sports stories to look for the good stuff.

Re: Yes it's true that Hermione saw Harry naked in chapter 1

Amesbury England
Norma Brown [...] owls leg. The birth then sprang aloft and flew back out the window. It's BIRD, not birth. :D Sorry, my Beta side took over and I just had to point out the error. I replied to his post, becaue I have questions that I forgot but hope to remember. The chapter is great, like many of the others, and the cliffie is worthy of V's evilness... The Muggle Ministry. Are you going to detail some of the steps they take, or just say that XX Muggles survived, XX escaped, XX will live unde V's rule? On the sex issue. I hope it will be in the next three chapters. Harry needs ro relax, more so after he comes back from his rescue mission, probably battered, and will be confined to bed-rest. A good opportunity for Hermione to "take advantage of him" :D, and to take his mind off the bad things. That of course, if both her parents are rescued and (almost) okay, which I hope will happen. So, you have a helpless Harry, confined to his bed, filled with dark thoughts. What better way to distract him than a beautiful girl? Even if they don't shag, but just hold each other. Umm... McGonagall and the other teachers. I suppose that having Occlumency training is a valid point, as there are secrets they don't want students to know, and a moderate Legilimens can skim surface thoughts without them noticing. Will she take a more active role in Harry's Brotherhood? Filius, too, I suppose. Arthur Weasley. Well, it's unexpected, but a nice change. The Weasley kids need a parental figure, no matter their age. It will do them good to know that the one they looked up too is still worthy of some respect. And separating from Molly is a good thing, as she would smother them, and stop them from becoming what they truly want. Hmmm... Will Remus and Tonks get married? Will Alyx and Bob the aurors kill the spelling mistakes? Will the reviewers stop pestering the authors for the next chapter? Will Jesus come back this century? Will Snape die in this fic/the sequel? Was the letter Snape sent about Hermione's parents? If not what was it about? If you can't tell me, in which chapter will we find out? When will Hogwarts be destroyed/taken over? At least the chapter, if possible, so I have tissues ready. How will Hermione deal with her father's view of her (I mean, the "she's still too young" attitude)? Umm... Will we get more explicit sex scenes between the Grangers? And will Hermione tell Harry why her parents were looking like that at the table? How..... Enough questions? And I DO want answers. :D -Crs --- bobmi357 <submitaccount@...> wrote: But there is a bit of difference between seeing a __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Like so many people they could have opted to sit around doing nothing and Harry wouldn't have minded a bit. But they had a practise that they could get to from Grimmauld. They have been continuing to work, but you can safely assume that's going to change. It's actually mentioned in passing before the Grangers relocated to Grimmauld so it's easy to overlook. :) - Bob |
