writing my own story. It's taking forever. I also like to read what others write.

Harry Potter and the Punishment for Immaturity by Obliviate
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Mere weeks after OOTP's end, we find Harry in his room. He is unwilling to do anything but lie in bed, demoralized by the loss of Sirius. That is until he receives a letter. This is an AU fiction with some anghst and pairings of Hermione/Ron and Ginny/Harry. Humor is my primary focus however. Story complete. There is a sequel: "The Deepest, Most-Desired Wish." You can find it in the Dark/ Angsty section.
Date: 03/12/05 Title: Chapter 5: Emotions of a Child
thought this was an excellant chapter. Not necessarily funny but true to character.

Date: 02/04/05 Title: Chapter 2: The First day (a.k.a. Chaos)
Nice story. Lots of little clues that I can't put together yet.
Author's Response: Yeah, it does have all those little clues that we can't put together - even me! It's still a mystery to me to see how it all turns out.
Date: 02/04/05 Title: Chapter 4: Meeting of Strangers (again)
interesting mystery.
Date: 02/04/05 Title: Chapter 5: Detention
As we all tap our feet impatiently... good story.

I think it would be unlikely for Adam to see 12 Grimmauld Place because it is under a Fidelus Charm. He would probably just see the group suddenly appear and conclude the had just Apparated. Other than that good story

I never thought that it was Snape who told Voldemort of the prophecy (still don't) but you gave Snape the right ambivelance that makes it difficult to decide which side he wants to be on.

interesting twist how Sirius thinks Harry is abnormal and that he's annoyed by his crying
Phases of the Moon by BlackClaude
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: In Remus Lupin's fifth year at Hogwarts, his devoted friends finally master the complex Animagus spell, beginning the adventures they will remember for the rest of their lives. But Remus must also face prejudice in the rising war, a test of loyalty versus love, and the danger of his dark secret being revealed.
Pet Peeve Disclaimer: Peter is not worthless, Lily does not have three friends who fall for the Marauders, and no one calls Remus "Remy."
Date: 04/28/07 Title: Chapter 7: Confrontation
Interesting irony. Remus thinks that Slughorn is shallow and insincere yet he seemed to handle the situation quite well. By not taking house points from Gryffindor shows he isn't overly partial to his house. But Remus and Lily probably think that James and Sirius are getting away with it because Slughorn wants them to come to his party.
In the previous chapter you make reference to a professor Sullivan implying he might be the potions teacher. If that was the case you may want to change the name.
Author's Response: That\'s a very good point! Slughorn isn\'t showing house favoritism, which is good for him as a Head of House, but he is showing \"popularity\" favoritism, which isn\'t so good as a professor in general. And he did diffuse the situation, since both sides might take more revenge on the other if they were punished, but maybe both sides needed to be punished. It was a bad situation all around, so I\'m glad you thought he handled it well! :) (And thanks for the Sullivan catch, that was indeed pre-HBP!)
Date: 04/28/07 Title: Chapter 8: The Moonlit Battle
fascinating chapter. I would have thought that the wolf and the dog would become more compatible as the night wore on. Telling the story from the wolf's point of view made it all the more interesting.
I know that you probably started this story before HBP. I like how you blended canon with your original ideas, Remus' mom rejecting him after he was bitten. Being watched as a caged animal. Good details as to how harsh his life has been.
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, it was a rough night for the two, but I have a feeling they\'ll become friends eventually. ;) The wolf did come to enjoy the dog\'s company by the end, but just in a very insane, violent, Klingon sort of way.
Date: 04/27/07 Title: Chapter 5: Fear
As I read this story grows on me. I liked Covas' lesson.--the explanation as to why werewolves attack people and especially her lesson on fear. It was a worthy lecture.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review!
Date: 04/27/07 Title: Chapter 6: The Arrival of Padfoot
delightful chapter. I'm glad you showed that they didn't all transform at once. Sirius' debut was hilarious. I like how you portray how annoying James and Sirius are to Lily and yet show James vulnerability.
Author's Response: Thanks again!

Finally! A link so I can post a review. Excellant story. I like the banter between Harry and Snape.

Still going strong, although I am mourning for Snape.
Curse of the Reapers by deanine
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: A different sort of alternate universe... It is a world under the thumb of an ancient emperor. Muggle society has been oppressed beyond recognition. Wizards rule over all, their only laws defined by power. This is the story of a rebellion, a family, a traitor, and the long road that leads home at last.
Date: 11/16/07 Title: Chapter 4: I Spy With My Little Eye
Boy, it didn't take long to crush Draco's dreams.
Author's Response: Yep, it's a hard hard world ;)
Date: 11/17/07 Title: Chapter 5: Loosing the Battle
Nice chapter. Was surprised that Derek got killed but it was nicely written.
one nit picky thing. Sirius lost the battle so the chapter should be called losing the battle. Loose means to untighten. Hope this doesn't come off as rude.
comment: On rereading and rethinking, I am surprised that Sirius didn't expect the guards to all do simultaneous Avadra Kadavas. It is a given that Turpin is ruthless. Granted non Reaper guards could have been inept or easily distracted by the Animagi but since the rebels didn't kill (as a rule) the guards would have always reported that a cougar chased a hare. Unless of course each mission used a different animal distraction. Still a thoughtfully crafted story.
Author's Response: I should fix that typo. Thanks!
Date: 11/17/07 Title: Chapter 6: Duck, Duck...Goose
All your AU stuff seems to be well defined so that when people are acting differently from the Potter books, you have already explained it before it happens. You make it look so easy.
Having read a few chapters ahead, I know what happens to Fred so I am impressed at how logical your chapters are.
Author's Response: Logic is my strong point. I'm not the most descriptive word smith, but I can usually keep things logical and that does mean something I suppose :) Thanks for reading~
Date: 11/16/07 Title: Chapter 3: Orientation
I started reading the first couple of chapters and decided to it will make my favorites.
Two observations. Lily has these two charms designed to find her lost children. Why didn't she use them after the fire? It may have been natural for for her to assume the worst during the fire, but it also would have been natural for her to have tried the charms for that slim chance that her kids somehow miraculously escaped death.
The second is the Tier system where 3 is the best and 1 is the worst and the Class system were 1 is the best and 4 is the worst. As I read on I kept mixing class and Tier and as a result the numbers weren't making sense.
While rereading it the second time I did manage to pick up things that I missed when I speed read before.
Your little quotes of history remind me of Dune plus the fact that you put Dumbledore's 'castle' in a desert.
Author's Response: The charms were more like Lojack for baby. If baby is missing, you locate the charm. The charm is a beacon and the child is supposed to be wearing the charm for it to work right.
A Dune reference, awesome :)

I thought it was a rather interesting idea of a philosoper's stone actually being about philosophy. Sure some of your sentences might be a little bit awkward, (that 11 year old nerd didnt make sense) but one thing I thought you captured well was how frustrating it is to be a single mother.

I don't know how many times I have slept in front of the Tv and had my dreams all mixed up. A rather neat way for a Muggle to get into Hogwarts.
