Mmm very nice. Though I do have major love for hero!Harry, the darker side of me absolutely loves the way you've written him, and he fits the card description perfectly. I was also glad this fic let me indulge in my post-DH Dumbledore anger, lol. Excellent entry!

Thanks so much. This fic consumed more than two months of my life. I wanted it to be different from other "Dark Lord" Harry stories. No matter how hard I tried, he refused to be a totally evil bastard. [He and Sev refused to jump into bed too.] For me, there were so many lies and avoidances by Dumbledore, it was easy to think that it was all a lie. A real person would have snapped much earlier than this Harry did. I think we all have days where we just say "F*ck this, I'm not doing this anymore."

Again, thanks for taking the time to review.

WOW!! I read the first bit and was hooked completely. Fabulous! Will there be more? *hint hint*

Thanks for the compliments. I planned this as a one-shot, so at the time I'm not going to continue it. In the future, something may happen, but it's not as of now.

Wow, what an absolute tour-de-force! I'm utterly amazed by how you drew in all the major characters and pairings in fanon!harry's life, Remus/Sirius, his parents, etc. etc. and wove them all together in this inside-out reversal of everything we thought we knew. Just amazing.

Thank you so much. I've gotten only one comment, besides yours, on this story. I was afraid there was something wrong with the story. I really wanted to do something different that no one had ever seen before and spent agonizing hours making this work. I could have turned it into a novel if I had wanted to. Thanks for the positive reinforcement.

A lot of the entries at the end of the fest got very few comments and I'm not sure why. Art, too. Have you pimped the story elsewhere? Snarry comms and such? Because it's really pre-slash, most of the places I know of aren't right for it. (I'm so smut-focused. I don't know the gen comms at all.)

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! What a powerful story! You had me hooked from the very beginning. You've got real talent for writing. I say this as I'm very picky about writing styles, and I've found only the really gifted can get me hooked.

Thank you so much. I'm actually quite proud of this story. I tried to create something completely different from anything that I had ever read and then to twist canon to my purposes. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Bravissimo! Fantastic work! Both you and Gavilan gave us a remarkable story that had me glued to my seat far past my bedtime! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
