    I think that the key part of that post was currently active.

    Haha, oh wow. I thought you guys were jumping the gun with all that rage after the latest chapter, but that was before I was aware the author had said this. The bolded sentence screams "I am out of ideas", then proceeds to cut itself and write those same words in blood on the nearest wall.

    Nah, that'd be cool. The sentence screams 'I made some mistakes earlier, so what contrived plot device can I use to save my ass from rewriting a couple chapters?' Then proceeds to write 'I R Dumb herp derp' across it's own chest in feces.

    New chapter, fairly well written too. The author(s) has created an interesting setup and I'm looking forward to what Harry/Bella (more specifically Bella) do in the new time.

    Well, if the rest of the story is anything to go by, they'll set up a bunch of interesting subplots, then use a badly thought out idea while trying to be clever, followed by a rousing number of lets do the time warp again, making all the setup pointless.

    Ah well, at least now I have an excuse to dig out The Rocky Horror Picture Show on days other then Halloween.

    I liked it pretty well until the last scene. But well, it's about only HP/Bella still updating, and one of two worth reading at all, so...

    After reading the last chapter, I have only one thing to say.

    LET THERE BE INCEST.

    Can't resist the temptation of Harry/Bella/Lily/Rose/Sidra

    I don't know why everyone is so obsessed about Harry getting it on with his mother or any alternate reality sisters or female versions of himself, only that I approve of the notion.

    It's the car crash that keeps on crashing. Interesting start but then it spirals into whatthefuckery with the psychic Potter.

    Lets see where this goes..

    This was supposed to be good? Writing was pretty average... Forgive me if I find it hard to believe that the war is still being waged 25 years later.

    I think the author forgot that this story was not a heap of shit like Earl of the North, so now he's trying to make them both giant heaps, and doing a pretty good job at it.

    If this chapter doesn't count as a cheap way for the author to get Harry and Bellatrix to marry,I don't know what does.

    Also wtf was with the random Potter with psychic powers.

    While I agree with this, I think we've come to expect far too much out of this author or authors as the case may be. There are some elements that I look at in this story and cringe (random psychic Potter, et al.), but this is still one of the best Bellatrix/Harry stories out there.

    There are far too many elements already introduced into what was once a complex story. It seems to be the author's habit of eliminating those elements when they become problems, so he/she/they don't have to deal with them any longer.

    In other words, he writes himself into a corner and then kills people because he doesn't know what else to do with them, or jumps back to the future to avoid the tangled mess that the political aspect was becoming, or gets the marriage contract done and over with because it was becoming a tired plotline.

    Frankly I was wishing that he'd just get the contract over with and move on. Look at the badly written wedding scene we've avoided. Now we get to see the badly written shy!Harry scene with the overly aggressive sexy!Bella scenes. Poor outlining and poor planning is to blame, methinks.

    While it's not the 4.5-5 story we first read, I still like it, and would like it even more if Random psychic Potter were to accidentally fall down the stairs and break her neck, so as to not suffer anymore of that drivel.

    I still rate this story a 3.5-4
     
  18. I really enjoyed it.

    True Incest sounds nice, lol.

    I am very interested to see how Harry will have his first appearance.


    @T3t

    You are right, the war waged for 25 years, but Dumbledore and his Order of the Chicken, had more information.
    And Black and Malfoy in the Ministry have changed more.

    I enjoy reading this fic, however this time travel again to the future feels like he just threw away the world he carefully built in the past chapters. It was engrossing- the politics, the power plays and the key players and their agendas.

    This is what happens when you write without an outline. There are still parts of this fic I like, but the reality of it falls far short of it's potential. Harry Potter fanfic's, meet Kwame Brown.
