I really like how you handled this crossover. Poor Charlie, always further out in the deep end than he wants to believe.

Also, I love your Luna.

Thank you for writing and posting this.

[laney_1974]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Oh, very cool. It serves Lucius right to be killed by a Muggle. And poor Charlie, always getting caught up in things he'd rather not know about. I love the first line Luna says to him, so totally random and perfectly Luna. The only disappointing thing about this fic is that it's short. It feels like the opening of a very interesting longer fic. Thanks for writing this. It wasn't at all what I was expecting, but in a good way. :D

Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. For some reason Charlie being introduced intot he supernatural world by Luna just stuck in my mind (the other idea I had involved Leah Clearwater, Oz and Remus -- but I couldn't get it to work).

The feeling like it's an opening is kind of intentional in the sense that I wanted the reader to walk away with imagining Charlie becoming part of the HP world. I'll confess that I'm not all that sure if I'll continue it.

Again, thanks so much for your feedback.

Oh, you had to go and tease me, didn't you? Ah, well, I know how annoying it is when fics don't want to cooperate. What was the idea, if I may ask?

[laney_1974]

It was based on the prompt that two or more people from different fandoms wake up somewhere and have to use their abilities to find a way out.

The fic started from Oz's point of view where he wakes up a sort of prisoner with Leah and Remus by someone who obviously has an interest in werewolves. A bit of a cliche, but I did have a spin on it.

I think the fic stalled because I'd already written an Oz and Leah fic for another challenge about a month earlier and whenever I tried to write it I kept wanting to set it in that 'verse. That and I've never written Remus before.

That being said, now that I'm talking about it I might end up writing anyway. I'll post a link if I do. :D

I want to know what happens next! This feels like the beginning of a much longer fic.

Also, I'm glad that Charlie got a chance to be awesome, because he totally deserves that.

[laney_1974]

Thanks for your feedback.

I agree, Charlie deserves to be awesome. He's my favourite character to write in Twilight as well as Leah Clearwater.

CHARLIE! Seriously, I was a little skittish about the idea of mixing these two, but if there is any character from Twilight I can depend on, it's Charlie lol

Definitely feels more like an interesting start than a stand-alone ;o)

Lovely work.

[laney_1974]

Charlie is one of my favourite characters in Twilight. I so love writing him in crossovers.

I'm glad you gave it a go! Thanks for your feedback.

I love this a lot! I really enjoyed seeing glimpses of the wizarding world through Charlie's eyes.

Thank you so much for your feedback. It's greatly appreciated.
