Uh.... I'm Starlight Eve and I'm the author. I have no idea how it got on her, but I'm flattered. I just wanna say one thing: Harry and Erika aren't twins. Erika was born a few days before the whole Halloween incident, thereforth making them NOT twins. And for the whole "Lily just keeps popping them out" comment, that's the same difference between my brother and I. Okay, I'm flattered it's on here, so why don't ya'll go read the rest of the story? It's quite fun!!!

My brain would hurt, except "meeting you" just obliterated it in a grand nuclear FLASH of stupidity.

Still, hey, maybe it's just that you're a really incredibly good sport...I'll cling to that hope as I drool vegatatively...

Re: ............ anonymous June 24 2003, 15:51:07 UTC

Starlight Eve says "huh????? What is 'meeting you'? I'm lost." Lol. Sorry, Tephra, what did you mean by that?

Re: The Twin thing anonymous January 10 2006, 02:24:09 UTC

Okay, I'm sorry, but Potter Sue of the Day is NOT A GOOD THING. A Mary Sue is a perfect, beautiful, talented (usually a manifestation of the author) witch who attends Hogwarts and ends up snogging the author's guy of choice. They are generic and annoying and pottersues lists the really horrendous and stupid ones so we can all laugh and feel like brilliant writers.

I'm sad, ya'll think Erika and Megan are Sues. Oh, well, I'm sad. And Erika wasn't sent the orphanage to escape from Sirius Black, but from Voldie. *tear*

Re: Sue affabletoaster June 21 2003, 19:48:55 UTC

In that case, he wasn't "then undefeated."

Re: Sue anonymous June 24 2003, 15:54:13 UTC

Well, he technically was undefeated at the time when Erika was sent there. It wasn't explained well in the first chapter, so you guys are a bit out of line by making a few of your comments without reading the rest of the story. Also, don't you think they would sorta fear for Erika's protection when he has tons of Death Eaters running around mad that their master's gone. Wouldn't it be like them to go after the closest person to HP, his sister, Erika? Look at the Longbottoms. I hope that answers your comment well enough. Starlight Eve
P.S.- I just wish ya'll would go read the rest of the story before making your comments. THEN you can judge it as you like. But a few of your comments would be cleared up in later chaps.

Re: Sue yemi_hikari October 29 2010, 03:45:57 UTC

Appologies, but if she was undefeated when she was sent away, there would be no reason for her to be sent there, as James and Lily would still be alive, right? And you don't end up in orphanages unless your parents can't take care of you, which they could, or if their parents are dead, which they aren't.

As for the Death Eaters, most are going to be heading into hiding, scared about getting caught. It is more likely for them to go after the poor defensless little baby Harry Potter then his sister, yet the Dursley's seemed like a good enough place for him, so... wouldn't it have been for Erika too?

You say later chapters... that isn't good writing btw, but there is also another comment about a prequel...

"Why the same was not done with Harry is, as usual, unknown" anonymous June 24 2003, 15:57:06 UTC

This is another example of things explained in the prequel to "Erika". The reason Harry was not also sent to the future was because everyone knew he was alive. They passed Erika off as dead at birth. They couldn't exactly tell everyone a year-old baby boy was suddenly dead. The reason I'm stating all this stuff (see my other comments) is because this whole thing is just a bunch of misunderstandings. I admit, I'm sad you guys think Erika and Meg are Sues, but still. At least get the facts right, and THEN comment. Starlight Eve

Re: "Why the same was not done with Harry is, as usual, unknown" yemi_hikari October 29 2010, 03:50:53 UTC

Not to offend, but I think that it wasn't a misunderstanding, at least on our part. What is the logic behind telling someone, that someone else is dead? It is because they happen to be in great danger. However, because all of the Death Eaters were in chaos, and Dumbledor was sneaky, there was no reason to even worry about safety...

But, it is/was interesting reading what you had to say. I think every author has a logic fail every now and then.

There are many things that I hate. Mushrooms is one of them. People writing the word 'tonite' instead of tonight. Bad punctuation and sentences that have no commas at all that just go on and on and on. Basically everything that is wrong with this fic.
