It’s shitty

May the alligators that hide and your giant puddles eat your flamers

This was depressing but a good fic to read!

I define this as torture porn.

It appears the author is in it just for the shits and giggles. Shame too. There's a lot of locked up potential here. I HATE my generation. I can't think of any four letter words good enough to describe how closed minded you all our just because you all feel 'cool' to rebel against your predecessors.

This kind of thing is why you got 'flamed' as you put it making a huge climax only to pull the gas out of the balloon deflating it.

I wonder how the SWAT team would handle this since it's a hostage situation? I wonder how hard it would be to break into the Room of Requirements if Harry holed up there?

Anyone who doesn't agree 100 percent is a flamer. Got that. No wonder this site died in 2014 when all the fics stopped showing up on search engines.

The Prophet is as believable as CNN and NYT's (which now quote CNN a lot) and they have a hate Trump agenda not even covering actual news anymore not even the 'slanted' news.

I now understand the last reviews. They left two very important things unsaid.

First, your repetitious belligerence about criticism (despite the disclaimers) probably discouraged many people from mentioning English errors or obvious plot holes. I haven't read the flames so can't comment on them, but it is a simple fact that the severity and frequency of such errors had to have discouraged the rest of the non-flamers. It would take a great deal of effort - hours per chapter - to find, call out, and correct them all. That's a lot of time and emotional investment to put into something for which one is all too likely to be ignored if not excoriated.

Please try to understand here. The ~reason~ that people who know better get so frustrated by numerous severe errors is that they repeatedly throw such readers right out of the story. It's like trying to read a story while being bounced around in a car on a badly potholed road, or to listen to one where the narrator screams "fuck-you" in the middle of every sentence or so.

Second, you do of course have the absolute right to stop writing any story whenever you please for whatever reason you please. With all due respect, though, you do ~not~ have the right to harm your readers by labelling a story dishonestly. This one should never have been called "Complete." When you decided to stop, the summary should have been edited from the original:

"The Day he was Pushed to Far reviews
Unable to deal with the pain and loss he felt during the third task; Harry slowly startes to fall apart,the others around him oblivious to it all. The loneliness was eating him up until one day, Harry finally snaps. Mentor/Severus *Suicide-Themes/Death*... - Complete"

to read roughly as follows (errors corrected and verbiage shortened to lessen the likelihood that whatever the character limit is would be exceeded):

"The Day he was Pushed too Far reviews
"Unable to deal with the pain and loss resulting from the third task, Harry started to fall apart, those around him oblivious to it all. The loneliness ate at him until one day he snapped. Mentor Severus, *Suicide-Themes/Death* ABANDONED: unrelieved bummers throughout, all left unresolved."
[Stat lines at end unchanged except for elision of "Complete".]

I hope you find some reason plausible to magicals why Draco still cannot see Thestrals.

Please update, I love it

First of all I hope you are well. As much as I wish this story could have come to full completion I understand your reasons for needing to part with it—triggering yourself is never worth it and I’m proud of you for parting with a trigger. As much as I want another chapter/the full story as you imagined it, nothing is more important than your wellbeing.

I can’t really say enough about this fic. Your writing is stunning. It hurts in a way that makes you think. It draws attention to things people need to be thinking about. It’s honest.

I haven’t read the reviews but I cannot fathom why you’d get so much shit about Hermione cutting. No one can predict or dictate how someone responds to grief. Hermione absolutely needed a way to reassert the control as a familiarity. And if someone is feeling immense guilt and as if they should be hurt as well...it just makes sense. Draco would have been too obvious. Ron would have been too lazy (in the sense that his grief is literally too much for him to do anything, which you illustrated well in his battle with Draco). Personally I have been a self-injurer for 15 years and I would hope someone wouldn’t look at me and assume either way that I definitely would or definitely wouldn’t. It’s not exactly something written in your “character.”

I’m sorry to only be coming across your writing now because you are just so real and refreshing and I wish I was around to review at the moment. but again I am glad you chose yourself over the fic and I hope you are doing well. You’ve made a difference in my life with this honest and straightforward depiction of what happens when psychological illness is ignored or worse, ridiculed. Thank you for wrapping up the story as best you could. I’m off to read more of your work and again I hope you are doing well 3

This is really good. It's very heavy and I feel you missed an opportunity with where you could go with the story. More specifically staying away from Harry's pov after he dies. Keeping us in the dark and making us feel with the other characters a bit more. Overall great story hope you rewrite or something to add to this someday.

shame this died
