the character development of both harry and illyria are much better than that which i've seen in some other stories. its also quite true that you don't that many background worlds to make your storyline interesting. let illyria develope beyond the pale of BtVS, she deserves much more. i've always felt that the godking of the primordium got a raw deal at the end of Angel. so i love what you've done by combining her with luna lovegood. this story is too good to be left on the dust shelf of abandoned fic. i'm tracking your story in the event you ever pick it up again. Once again, great story style! keep up the good work.

You have a gift for writing some truly strange romances. I have enjoyed reading the story so far though and I do hope you come back to it at some stage, after finishing some of your more recent stories. You will have to fix all the illustrations though as most of them seem to be broken. I also think you may have gone overboard with the number of factions, and it makes the story very complicated. Do we really need the One True God, the PTB, Voldemort, The Ministry, Dumbledore, The Watcher's Council, AND whatever that dream about the green old one was about? You could drop half the factions and just keep the most interesting characters :) They are the best bit anyway.

This is a very enjoyable story and I'm a bit disapointed that you are apparently no longer updating it. Other then that thank you for what you've currently written

now i gotta ask, why in the world did you stop working on this story. cuz its great. i love the quirkiness that is Illyria and the mess that Harry has gotten himself into s hilarious. i really want to see how things will unfold for everyone. and with the introduction of the new characters, i just want to see more of this story. along with all your other harry potter stories for that matter.
Big fan, Ernest

Long story short? There's a few goodies from this period that all abruptly end. They were cowrites with a girlfriend I had a messy breakup with, and I could never find the heart to get back into them. I'm starting to double back and revive old shit, though, and this is one of my favorites...

Illyria stories are always great, and you definitely have a novel plot here, with some errr... unconventional elements, but I'm interested to see how it all turns out.

Review of chapter "Down the Rabbit Hole" from laoshi
Review:
Do you keep the other versions of your stories? Let’s not count the ways this version is better than the two previous ones but one thing I did enjoy about them is the Harry/Illyria relationship. Yes, as I believe you said at the time, Harry and Illyria got together to fast and I also like Daphne/Harry I’d like to read it again. Is there any chance you could email me a copy? And just to be even more cheeky if you could throw in the alternate version of Carry You Home and the versions of Tangled Web that’d be great.
On a personal note this is my 300th review! Go me!
Without further ado onwards with the review. Great use of the Harry Potter font and I the lunllyria artwork is cool. Nice description of the sarcophagus, it has that ancient god-kingly vibe. You do a great job conveying Luna’s feeling of isolation and I like the idea Luna’s weirdness is due to Illyria whispering secret knowledge in her ear.I like dark independent Harry. Although torturing Bellatrix isn’t that dark. Illyria makes her entrance with inimitable style.

Review of chapter "Composite Corridors" from Sydonai
Review:
Didn't the bible also say something like; "Do not suffer a witch to live", a.k.a. "Kill all witches". I'm just saying that being a witch might make some people a little less.....zelous...about some rules.
