Hey Bob:

I have to say I'm really enjoying this story. I didn't really expect to, not because of the 'Ship, even though I'm not a big fan of Harry/Ginny, but because of the X-Men crossover. I used to be a massive Marvel fan, but got burned out on Mutants back in the 90's. Anyway, you've done an excellent job of introducing the X-characters so that you don't have to know everything about them to enjoy the story.

I can empathize with your problem of offing Voldemort, so you could probably go the route that Harry vanquished him in 1981, and anybody else can take him out now. Hell, let him slip in the bathtub and drown if you want to!

Anyway, it's your story and I'm along for the ride.

thanks
it was very enjoyable, as always
we'll be happy to read your next chapter, whether it includes the "bugger" (have you tried including him in an orgy scene ? just a thought... ;-) or not

I'm excited to see where you take this story, if the thing that drives it isn't the defeat of Voldemort. I get what you mean about having enough of that -- how many ways can you get rid of one wizard, anyway?

... Er. My point is, I like the combo of X-Men and Harry Potter, and it's fun watching the HP characters scramble to adapt to a Harry that's so far beyond their understanding. Thanks for writing, and I look forward to reading more.

Haha, no we can't. But maybe Magneto and the Brotherhood will be involved- maybe Mystique, in a Harry!form, kills old Voldy!
In anuy case, I do like this story very much.

Oh, and as a PS:
'You must of sat on it' <-- Jean to Umbridge
I believe it should be 'You must have sat on it'

Hi,

I am really enjoying this story and this chapter had some interesting insights for some of the characters. But it was the AN that made me think the most.

In many ways, Voldemort is an afterthought in this story; it mostly focuses on Harry, his new circumstances, and the way the wizarding world reacts to him. How would magical Britain react to a ‘Dark Creature’ that at 16 years-old kills the biggest Dark Lord in recent history? Not well with Fudge and Umbridge in charge I’m betting.

I think the post-Voldie part of the story would be a good read. Especially from the two of you.

Thanks for the great story so far,
Rick

PS Loved the scene with Draco!

It seems to me, upon second reading, that Snape would be freaking out the most about Jean resembling Lily. You may have covered this is a previous note, ignoring book seven. If so, I apologize. But shouldn't Snivellus be smitten or at least in lust?

Thank you for the wonderful chapter. :)
As always, your writing has made my day a little better and my mind a little broader. I cannot wait for the next piece of work that you produce, and watch eagerly for the update.

Thank you again for your excellent efforts :)

I'll admit I'm nervous responding to you and Alyx. I enjoy your disclaimers and author's notes nearly as much as your stories. Your threats of retribution for poorly written reviews have kept me mute and quaking so far. So with shaking digits...I'll continue to type. You are so clever with your opening mayhem that I find your claim of not having a unique solution to "off" Voldie a challenge. Adding the muggle technology to Harry's world presents some intriguing new possibilities. Nuclear enema, Mach 2 - solar flared trajectory destruction of Horcruxes would be fun. I can't wait to see what you really come up with. What I really want to say though is thank you both for such fabulous and fun reads. My thanks is long overdue and I will be ducking now as I feel the swift wind of the FPIA (Can I get one at Walmart?) blows in my direction.

It is so awesome to see you updating this story again! I don't blame you for being tired of dealing with Voldemort. I don't care if you just find some way to off him, like Jean gets so mad after he holds Harry prisoner or spits in Harry's face, whatever, that she vaporizes him like in the movie. I'm more interested in seeing Harry heal and make a new life with Jean and Scott. BTW what is Scott doing while Jean is at school and how often do they see each other? Just curious. This chapter was brilliant. For only having covered about a week you've moved things along nicely. I can't wait to see the next installment.

Who cares about refunds? Quality comes to those that are patient. Personally I look forward to see where your various plot bunnies end up.

Larry Nagy posted a comment on Tuesday 21st April 2009 2:38am

It is a good story and will be interested in the directions you take it. Will you be introducing evil mutants as well? Or have Voldemort team up with evil mutants?

00_Knight posted a comment on Tuesday 21st April 2009 2:28am

I don't want a Refund!, I'll take what i can get of this story! :D

Excellent as always, and as to your other ficlets, Bring em' ON! I'll read em' just as i would this one, or re-read your others!

~ PS: Have you thought about killing or stopping Voldemort with a McGuiver related incident? Seeing as this Harry is more interested in exploring muggle society, you could maybe drop that one in there. Just a thought.

I demand a refund!!!



Just kidding, your stories are good, just wish you would update a little more.

After reading your note I thought about why I enjoy your writing so much. The reason for me is the way you craft your relationships. Voldie is a side light for me, kill him with a letter opener if you want. You make the reader care about Harry plus you show all the warts of J.K. world. After reading a few hundred stories I am down to a handful of authors I read and it is for the way the can write interesting interpersonal relationships. Thanks for the update I enjoyed it, write more faster. lol joke at the end there I know how much you hate it when someone tells you that.

Hi nicely written chapter again. I agree with you about the voldemort thing and I like this story as it has so much potential to move away from the rather tired kill voldy and live happily ever after. I have read a lot of hp fan fiction but Ive never seen a fic dealing with the wizarding world being discovered by the muggles and how they deal with it all, maybe that could be used in this fic or another as an interesting change of pace.

Erowich posted a comment on Monday 20th April 2009 3:26pm

Hi - no review, just a note of appreciation - thanks so much for continuing the story; I was one of the folk worrying that you'd lost interested in HP fanfiction altogether :(
great to see you back! xoxo

memnoch541 posted a comment on Monday 20th April 2009 2:41pm

Thanks Bob and Alyx for continuing writing. I decided to get into this uncompleted (from 2007) series just because I enjoy everything you guys give to us.

Even if you don't carry on with this story, I still love the wizards fall arc, and between my re-readings of your stories... It's only been between a select few... There's both of your main novels, Sunrise/Sunset mainly... I'm just glad I found your link on chemprof's profile on FF.net and was wise enough to follow the links.

You guys bring out alot of emotion in your stories, and I won't ever forget every little tidbit that brings out a bit of emotion within myself. I hope you guys keep writing... even your one - shots bring out a hope of a sequel.
- Rob

Glad to see this updated. On the subject of killing Voldemort, how about him standing behind Harry's jet waving Harry off after Harry telling him he can have the wizarding world cos he was off and the jet stream or whatever(is that right you know that stuff that comes out the back of a jet) finishes him off. You have to love those people - save us Harry from the big bad Voldemort but by the way we don't recognise you as human.
