Too Many Wars, Too Many Flags on the Field

Finally I have finished my HP fic. And finally I have a piece worthy (in my opinion) to go into my author recommendations section

Thank you so much! I've worked on this fic longer than I can remember working on one for a very long time, so I am glad that I am getting such lovely responses to it. And there really is a lot of magic...and the dark side of the apparent convenience of magic....but I ramble, apologies.

Thank you again! You've made me all blushy!

This is amazing. I'm going to rec it the com thegoldenseeker, if that's okay. I've never read anything quite like this. You did an excellent job!

[sciathan_file]

Thank you! And you may more than go ahead and rec it...that would make me both very happy and flattered!

Thank you again for your lovely comments!

Finally I got to read it!
And let me say that it was worth every bit of the wait!

Gosh. I'm still thinking about it so not very coherent but...but..I love your Sirius (and his entire ordeal with family portraits)...and your Harry (more than canon!Harry, quite honestly)

...and the conversation about the James and Lily portrait *sigh*

This seems like one of those fics that I will likely reread sometime and be better able to word what I'm thinking.

but for now, I can safely say, you've got me thinking...life a a portrait...hmm..

=)

Woot! I hope your O-chem exam went well (if you are indeed done). But I am glad it was worth the wait.

Angsty!Sirius is very much stalking and eating my brain at the moment (there shall be massive amounts of Sirius fic when I am done with a few requests)...also, I wasn't really sure about Harry's characterization at all (I hadn't been expecting to write him...he just came out). But I imagine that after the hustle and bustle of the war he'd have to go someplace to ponder and put it all together and grieve. That boy must be traumatized beyond belief. Although I have to admire Rowling's courage to write an adolescent as an adolescent and not the sanatized version literature often gets

Disregard that last bit...I realized you were going to be the recipient of my shiny Sirius and the Muggle convertible fic (an idea I am rather proud of, in fact). <3

O-chem was blarg. exams went better than midterm or so I hope *fingers crossed* and I'm still deathly afraid of getting my final mark =_=;

regarding HP:
it hurts me so much that the Marauder generation is DEAD. Like that was one of my biggest issues with Remus' death and made me WTF in rage. And I am impressed wih Harry's sanity at the end of it all (although it took like 7 books for me to like He Who Is Spoken Of With Reverence =P)

HEEE! Sirius/Convertibles = LOVE.
though I must say, Angsty!Sirius kind of also owns my soul along with his crazy alterego. There's something about that man, a breakout character if I've ever seen one and just yeah *fangirls*. Words don't do him justice.

(regardless...*anticipates fic* XD)

See, the only part I don't like about this is that the "Add to Memories" feature is aaaaaaaaaall the way down at the bottom of the page. That means I get to read your fic another three or four times out of pure joy and happiness that I completely forget what I was going to do in the first place.

And I need to write out that insane/twisted plot/thingamabobber that got me so confused in the first place. Or you need to. Whatever.

I’m going to have to go to the Portrait Unveiling - that will, at the very least, put my mother in high form as all of her dear, dear friends will be gathered to see the gold she’s poured into getting the best likeness of dear old dad that as possible.

Ack! How could I miss this? "dear old dad that as"? >____<

And I just realized that the part with Sirius burning his family portraits wasn't in the draft version you sent to me to beta. XD Wow, I am Slow.

Small, nit-picky thing. Some of the capitalizations are a bit wonky. XDDD

Whoooooooh! And big thing I just noticed! It jumps from the artist's perspective to Harry's and back when she is asking about the quality memories needed in order to create portraits, and he thinks about the Resurrection Stone (and a little before that too, actually). Unless, of course, it's in omniscient POV. But that doesn't really make much sense either because Harry was seen through her eyes when they were going to Grimmauld Place - the sudden shift is...well, sudden... :/

*is absolutely

[sciathan_file]

Yeah, finding that memories button is always like a treasure hunt. And you should write your crazy fic that somehow departs from the craziness of my fic and is generally insane
