Review of chapter "Chapter One" from purrfus

Review:

Intelligent bad guys - its a very good thing.

One of the problems I have with JKR's work is the restricted point of view. Your variety was wonderfully refreshing.

Comments from author:

It's true of most children's books: the characters are so very flat. I do like kid's books but sometimes they need a bit of interpretation to make the characters more human.

Review of chapter "Chapter One" from sabellestarte

Review:

Wow! This was so cool. Do whatever it takes to save the world.
"Take me to your leader" ! Heh. Love that bit. Nicely done.

Comments from author:

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. A suitably powerful bad guy does make some really odd allies among the good guys.

Review of chapter "Chapter One" from Keshkreature

Review:

ROFL, simply ingenious, and very entertaining. Who else would have thought of the Watcher's Counsel and Lord V making such a good match?

Comments from author:

Thanks! When your goal is to save the world, you sometimes have to be pragmatic about your allies.

Review of chapter "Chapter One" from banner

Review:

That was interesting and different and terrifying in its implications. I'll be thinking about this one for a long time.

Comments from author:

Excellent! I like making people think: bad guys still have some good in them, and good guys do make compromises. If you come to any conclusions, let me know.

Review of chapter "Chapter One" from (Current Donor)

TraceyC

Review:

A different kind of HP story that does a GREAT job of showing the human side of Voldemort and the Death Eaters - I like this one. It's a refreshing change of perspective.

Looking forward to more from you.

Comments from author:

Thanks! I like showing that "bad guys" are still people. No matter how horrific they are in some ways, they are still capable of being good in others.

Review of chapter "Chapter One" from Greywizard

Review:

LMAO at the epilogue!!! So totally Scooby in its practice!!! you can tell Willow grew up with Xander. ;-)

And I also liked how you showed the Death Eaters aren't all completely one-dimensional. Morality is a wide spectrum of grey, with very few things simply black or white, and you portrayed this very well.

Good work.

Comments from author:

Thanks! I like the Harry Potter stories, I like children's books in general, but they do tend to make the bad guys just plain evil and humans don't really come in simple variations like that. Maybe the need to develop those extra dimensions is what makes fanfic so addictive. Anyway, thanks for the review.

Review of chapter "Chapter One" from spurious

Review:

Welcome to TTH. I have always liked this story. I have you tracked as a favorite author on FFN. Thanks a bunch for all your stories.

Comments from author:

Thanks for the welcome. FFN is still my main archive but I really like TTH (and they allow Anita Blake stories) so I figured I would post some here, too.

Review of chapter "Chapter One" from AngusH

Review:

What am I to do?

You made the death eaters totally sympathetic.

Brilliantly written and very clever.

To quite Giles:

"Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after."

But now they're not. ...

:-)

Comments from author:

I like my Moral Right shaken, not stirred. I'm glad you liked it too.

The problem with wars is that generally both sides think they're in the right and the other side is the one that's doing horrible things. Our side has freedom fighters while their side has terrorists.

Review of chapter "Chapter One" from HarmMarie

Review:

Very interesting. I liked the style of it and the whole premise. Also, the way Willow found them was very funny.

Comments from author:

Thanks! I got tired of Willow being all-good or all-bad when really they're just doing what it takes to keep the world going.
