Thaks for a great read. Sorry you no longer post here.

I'm between seasons.   I stopped writing altogether when my kids were in High School, as they needed my attention more than Harry & Ginny did.   Then they all went off to school.  

I switched jobs in 2016, and this last year has been extremely busy.   I have about five chapters of what will probably be a 12 chapter story in somewhat decent shape, but little time to attend to it right now.   I'm not dead yet.

A lovely, if rather abrupt, end to the story. I'm quite enchanted with your characters and saddened that the story was 'unfinished', though I do understand what you are saying about story size and such.

Off to PhoenixSong.net with me I guess!

Thanks very much for sharing your time and talent, M

Actually, I liked the parts where they showed there was more to the outside world - like religion. Given the existence of godparents, why wouldn't it exist? Wish there was more fleshed out, sometimes...

I really liked the author's notes - both for extra information (things you filled out in outline) and for the character's that spoke for themselves.

Enjoyed this story quite a lot and I'm off to read the sequel. Thanks for posting!

As you'll find if you read the reviews for "Wade in the Water" in Tales from Sixth (and Seventh) Year I tended to rub a lot of people the wrong way on my portrayal of religion.   Ah well, they can ask for a refund on their way out the door.

 

Thanks for reading.

Hairy Saltyfish - wasn't he the father in the My Girl movies?!

Thank you. I got very little done the last few days. It was nearly impossible to put down, and I found myself thinking about it when I wasn't able to read. It's embarrassing that a woman in her mid-50s could get so involved. Thanks again.

This is a really amazing fic, and I loved it!
It's a slow fic, but I think that's what makes it really work. There's no sense of rushing, of trying to get anywhere, more of a calm boat ride, where you know how it will end. (As in relationships).

Your characters are really likable, and I enjoyed reading about Jasmine, Alberd, Moey, and the rest. Normally against original characters, I thought you introduced them in a way where they worked, (wonderfully I might add).

I liked the dragon magic, and how it ties Ginny and Harry to together even more firmly, and the whole idea of the War witch.

TBH, After reading it I've forgotten some parts, (Probably from trying to absorb it all in one sitting), but it's one of those fics I'll come back to in the future, because I know it's worth reading again.

On the note of religion, It seemed to work in this story, but it was a bit foreign. I personally found it a bit uncomfortable, and while not glossed over it, skimmed slightly. I think it is personal preference.

The plot line was good, and I enjoyed it immensely! Even though there wasn't much to it, I think you've written it well.

Write more!

I've just finished reading this story for the second time. I read it a long time ago and just ran across it again. I think you are a very good author. I enjoyed this story line and do like that you've added a spiritual element. I've always found it hard to believe that there are no christians in the wizarding world. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I'm off to read Stories from 6th (and 7th) Year again.
KUDOS!!

Sweet! I like how powerful Harry has become without the addition of 50,000 new superpowers. I love your realistic (for HP) but powerful OCs. I really really like how H was not "stuck" with Ginny at the very start, and got to flirt a little. Too many H/G fics just slam them together on the first page. Masterful work. Thank you!

I was trying to break as many cliches in HP fanfic as possible when I wrote TLOS.   Thanks for reading.

a perfect story. Congratulations, i love the way the two of them bounded, it was slow and you didn't try to make together too soon, which is what happens in most of the fanfics i read. Congratulations again, i'm going to read the sequel.

Really an amazing story, and a wild and unusual AU you created here. Thanks for a great read!

Like you, I don't understand why porn-fic is so vaunted and any mention of Christianity, faith, or the massive backstory of our cultural religious beliefs get flamed. I'm grateful you have courage and backbone to not only mention faith in God but make it an integral part of your tale. Blessings!

Even with a future unanswered and more of life to come, this tale ends with quite a sense of completion and satisfaction.

Excellent work.

Very well done. Had me guessing what was coming up next many times.

I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed reading a story that was respectful and thoughtful concerning matters of faith.

You write well, and I look forward to reading more of your work - starting tomorrow!.

For now, good job and keep writing!

Thanks - I enjoyed writing this little story - it kept me off the streets for a couple of years. The Harry-as-churchman wasn't everyone's cup of tea, having garnered a few bucketfuls of hate mail, but I stand by my story.

Thanks for your kind words.
