Review of chapter "Tara Maclay, Counselor of Karma" from Sulien
Review:
I'm not the biggest Harry Potter fan, but I really loved this story! Like most folks, I loathed Porfessor Umbridge when I read the book and was quite pleased with the outcome of the Karma Shield spell. Served the disgusting, sadistic woman perfectly right! I also greatly enjoyed Tara's gentle rebuke when Umbridge interrupted Dumbledore. Nicely done!
ETA: I wish they had use of icons on this site; there's one that looks like a computer error message that says: "Canon error. Apply fanfic?" with the little 'OK' button and this story definitely calls for the use of that icon!
Comments from author:
Looked up the icon on google and posted it using photobucket. It is perfect for a story like this where another fanfic character swoops in to fix things.

Oh I absolutely loved that. Karma sheild If only. I'm not sure if anyone has every done this cross before. But it would be something if she could help Carol Anne from Poltergeist. that would be interesting
Edit: Yes the tv girl.

Review:
I have to say that this is an interesting idea. I remember reading something like it, but with Xander being the one that was helping "sidekicks." Can't wait to see some more!
Comments from author:
I'm in a very Tara frame of mind right now. She's playing a more significant role than Willow in another fic I'm writing set just after Spike tried to rape Buffy. I thought since she was doing so well in helping Buffy in that story, why not see what she could do for other champions?

Review:
Aww, thats it?
We won't get to see the 'punishment' of the others?
Comments from author:
Not sure, maybe? I do have a little wabbit of an idea for the flip side of the karma shield - the reward side.

Sometimes I wonder about my brain when it thinks up stuff like this. Then I realize, it's cool; people seem to dig it.

Review:
Nice. I always liked Tara and thought the character was under used. It would be interesting to see what would happen if she were sent to SG-1 as an anger management consultant and had Colonel Jack as a 'patient'. Just a thought.
Comments from author:
LOL, Jack in anger management! That'd be a hoot.

Review:
I love the idea of a Karma shield and using one on Harry. Very nicely thought out. I wonder what would happen to Dumbledore when the shield was in place.
Comments from author:
I suppose it would depend on whether I wanted to paint his actions as kind, but wrong or manipulative.

Review:
Interesting idea, I would love to see this carried on. Maybe by having Tara pop by the Highlander universe? There are many times in the TV series She could help Duncan.
Comments from author:
Yeah, maybe right after Tessa died?

Review:
Great story. Thank you for sharing. A fitting punishment for Umbridge.
Comments from author:
Thanks. If she's gonna use something like that, she should be prepared for backlash.
