BAH commentary...
Jun. 14th, 2008 09:21 amNo, not a new chapter. Sorry. For those of you who are reading, though, I'd like a little advice. I don't have a regular beta to bounce questions off of, so.
Here's a perfect example of the small number of negative reviews I've been getting (well, aside from those guessing close to what's up with Lupin, and informing me the story will utterly fail if it's true):
The following review has been submitted to: Back Again, Harry? Chapter: 11
( From: Not Having Fun () )
What I want to know is-- are any of you seeing legitimate concerns in that unsigned mess? I have a feeling that this is someone from DLP wishing for one of those stories where Harry drops in from the future and instantly becomes wickedly clever and confident and starts dashing around lying and manipulating and fixing everything as soon as possible.
I can bounce that kind of criticism, no problem. That is exactly the kind of story I was trying to subvert by writing mine: a realistic, as far as that can be said, edition of the genre. But: are there nuggets of true problems in there? Be honest; if things really are dragging, I want to fix it.
