Cataclysmic chapter 3 . 6/26/2005 why do all good stories have to be so short! please update soon. You have a fairly original concept here and you are doing a good job writing it. Keep up the good work! |
reviewer chapter 3 . 6/22/2005 Wow! Nice work. My main complaint from the first couple chapters was clearly addressed in the third. You've intentionally made him socially retarded, before he dealt with any of the grief and issues and death in his life. Although I'm not entirely sure I understand how or why or what exactly happened. It sounds like he is completely the same person, just in a smaller younger body, and primarily you're giving him super doses of hormones to make him incapable of controlling his emotions? Does he not still have the understanding and knowledge he had from his previous life? Just now he'll have urges without control, I suppose? Unable to stop himself from crying or fearing rejection? Acting like a blushing idiot in need of a slap if a cute girl (or boy I suppose) smiles at him? If you couldn't guess from my last review, I'd much prefer to read the old man's original idea, where Harry would stay his age and teach. Instead of angsty, emotional, childish issues and drama he's already gone through, and apparently gets to go through again. But then that's why you're the writer and I'm the reader turned occasional reviewer. Good start. |
reviewer chapter 2 . 6/22/2005 Hmm...I like the idea. I like stories similar to this one (JadeLMSkywalker and Stahchild I think both have semi-similar stories if memory serves). What I'm not a fan of is this emotional infant Harry. If he's seen his friends die, if he's battled the dark and Voldie et cetera and all those he loved died, he would have dealt with most of these issues years ago. These are the sorts of thoughts he might have immediately after OotP when Sirius went veil-jumping, the first time Harry's faced with true death of someone he had been counting on. Cedric can be like a nightmare he pushed to the back of his brain, and he can't even remember his parents. But he could not have continued on, and in particular fought against and won, unless he at least had the maturity of say, a teenager. Instead of that of a small child or infant fearing rejection from the parental figures. Of course I prefer intelligent, adult, mature Harry (and cannot imagine Voldie being defeated by anything less), but this Harry is just plain... well incapable. Weak isn't quite the right word, but unable to function halfway normally and have a relationship with an uncle or friend or father figure. Anyways...this is a 'magical' world, and a 'fairy tale' setting and if you prefer baby/child Harry and reliance on Daddy-figure/grown-up adults, that is your choice to write what you wish. Probably just the difference between my preferences in reading versus yours in writing. Anyways...good start. Got at least one more chapter to read. Keep updates coming please. |
