fire alpha 6 chapter 14 . 6/30/2012 A very good story so far. You just need to update and finish it. |
kelwin chapter 14 . 8/5/2009 Hi very good story i love it and your a good author as you keep the story alive with different plots and stuff when you feel it is calming down then bang something new. I would be very happy if you would think of continuing it and all other stories you have planned as we do need more fics like yours. |
Derek chapter 1 . 3/29/2007 The previes title is so much better than this one. |
GreyAB chapter 14 . 9/24/2006 you have a great story here, and I am liking what I have read so far. looking at when you last updated though I am hoping that you have not abandoned this story, as that would be a real shame. |
Night Wanderer chapter 14 . 4/19/2006 Wo update, and may i also add its always a good idea to proof read, so you can catch all the typos |
Naomi chapter 14 . 4/16/2006 You are annoying. really annoying. can't you just update. please. pretty please. or i shall... i dunno. anyway, please update this. Naomi |
get it right chapter 2 . 4/9/2006 well from the looks of things you have quit writing, but if you decide that you want to pick it back up look up the fucking names of characters so that you can spell them correctly, for gods sake if you are going to borrow someones work at least give them the courtesy of spelling the names and things they have created correctly. if you are to lazy to that then maybe you shouldnt be using their works |
Alexandria Jade Lily Potter chapter 14 . 3/11/2006 i love it what happens next who is harry magical gurdian please update soon |
Naomi Fowler chapter 14 . 12/2/2005 Will you hurry up and update? please, i'm begging you! Naomi |

ms.gringotts chapter 1 . 10/13/2005 sounds interesting but poor harry simply has to get a break he's so depressed all the time. |
Jimbocous chapter 14 . 10/9/2005 Wow, I've just read this top to bottom, and I'm really impressed. Harry being an Elemental is pretty wild. I absolutely loved the interations with Air. Tremendous potential there; I can't wait to see what Fire, Water and Earth have to say about life in general when the time comes. The marking of Herminone, and the prophecy, were great as well. (though I admit to being an unrepentant Herry/Ginny shipper, or was until Smokey's Draco bit got me hooked:) I think one of the things I like most about this piece is how in character you have kept everyone; I can't think of a single place where I got that unpleasant jerk you get when a characters says or does something you just know is wrong. I include Snape in that; for both Snape and Harry, extreme abuse leads to extremes in character development and behavior. Harry is lucky enough to get help before it's too late; Snape didn't and the walls are very high around his emotions as a result. You showed this very well, and I felt the early chapters dealing with abuse, and it's consequences, were done with an extraordinary sensitivity. The lesson is, if it's happening to you, TELL SOMEONE, and do it before the emotional damage is too severe to reverse. [soapbox off, I just had to say that. Those early chapters affected me deeply, 'nuff said]. Having said all this, I hope you'll continue to develop this; there's a lot of great potential to explore here, and you certainly have the skills to express it. I do have a couple of critiques on mechanics you might find useful: When following a bit of dialog with exposition, it's better to end the dialog with a comma and not capitqalize the exposition, where you have a tendency to end the dialog with a period and capitilize the exposition. In example: “Sorry about that.” The witch apologized. better to do: “Sorry about that,” the witch apologized. This can get really confusing sometimes, if it gets wrapped up in a paragraph break as in the following example: “I don’t mind,” Hermione said, linking her arm with his, “as long as it gives you back, and it looks after you as it seems to want to.” Harry smiled. “I think I could get used to nature working in my favour.” He joked, moving over and embracing Remus again, just to reassure himself that he was all right. would be better as: “I don’t mind,” Hermione said, linking her arm with his, “as long as it gives you back, and it looks after you as it seems to want to.” Harry smiled. “I think I could get used to nature working in my favour.” He joked, moving over and embracing Remus again, just to reassure himself that he was all right. The above example isn't erally confusing, but there were a couple in earler chapters where the switch in who was speaking was confused as a result of the switch in focus being in a preceding paragraph, if you get my drift. Having said that, overall you are really an extraordinary writer, and I appreciate the read! Update soon! Oh, BTW, tell Katy to get to work (evil grin). I'm already in HPDM withdrawal and she's gone a month? |
Jimbocous chapter 1 . 10/9/2005 Killer opening chapter, looking forward to more! |
alwaysariyana chapter 14 . 10/7/2005 Ahh! That is just evil. Lol, hope you update soon. |
Bobmin356 chapter 14 . 9/3/2005 Fire, I'm glad you're continuing the story. But from your response it sounds like you're spreading yourself too thin by writing too many stories at one time. My wife and I co-author stories on this system and one thing we quickly learned, do one story at a time. Every other idea either gets folded into the current story, or written down as a possible plot bunny for a new story once the current one is complete. You might want to try that, you'll find that. :) It's the reason why I have two completed 200K word stories and another in progress instead of twenty 10K word fic all incomplete. Decent chapter, but I'm going to have to go back and reread the whole thing to understand why selecting a guardian is so important at this time. :) |
