What's a thrown and how does one sit on it? You've thrown me for a loop with that one. Otherwise, sounds like an attractive family crest.

Speaking of mistakes, may I discreetly point out the difference between keeping knowledge to yourself that may embarrass, or reveal someone elses secrets, and the discrete stages that you go through in developing and fleshing out the plot lines of your fine stories.

Thanks again

Wow. I'm very impressed. This is the first fanfiction that actually described a war in detail, and all the elements that go with it. Most fanfictions mention a "Last Battle" or the "Second War" but have a simple little duel between Harry and Voldemort. This was incredible.

I often find myself skimming over paragraphs and pages of useless (in my mind) details and dialogue. This fic kept me wanting more.
Plus, the author notes and disclaimers are so unique and hilarious, I would have kept reading just to see who was killed off next.

I also admit I'm not an avid Harry/Hermione shipper. I have many friends who are, and encourage me to read H/Hr fanfics, but I just couldn't find any other there. This certainly met every requirement I have of a fic and went above and beyond. I'll definitely be recommending this.

Again, job very well done.

...this story is absolutely magnificent.

Truly, in every sense of the word, it is. I absolutely love this to death, and while I am saddened by its [upcoming] ending, I truly absolutely ADORE it, and just want you guys to know what a brilliant job you've done while crafting these two (the prequel to this being included, obviously) works of art.

Thanks so much for sharing.

No offense intended Alyx, but isn't Fanfic author one of the definitions of insanity?

All in all I've greatly enjoyed both Sunset and Sunrise, to this point. Thank you both.

I am wondering about the Owl and the prisoners remaining in the Azkaban prision itself. Does that eventually get resolved?

Pet peeve: Authors who thinks they're bloody Kafka.

Well crafted writing is generally a good thing, but not when the story suffers for it. This particular story started with a great and powerful buildup. That is still going on, and while it lets some steam out sometimes, there's no real release. Every time some storyline concludes, it does so with a minor fart that is overshadowed by a greater plot twist that keeps up the momentum.
It's not entertaining anymore.
There's nothing quite so impotent as a review like this one, written long after the fact. The absurdity is even greater as i'm mostly annoyed over the quality of the story than anything else. It just doesn't qualify as light reading anymore.

You owned old the Rowling ass hat. Completely. Nice job.
Unlike many fanfic creators, you've got multiple plot lines supporting you. That's why every chapter was interesting to read. And despite of some overpowering, everything still remained realistic. Shame you can't publish this as a book to sell. Maybe some beer from me will help?
The only thing I didn't like is that you made Voldie too dumb and crazy... Bad news... CRUCIO... Bad news... CRUCIO... His minions have done the whole job for him, and his behavior was standard like a pile of shit. Even old Dumbledore was way more interesting to follow.
Also, you totally forgot Russia once again. Chinese and Arabic gang made their appearance, but why not old good Soviet KGB? Next time, please don't forget about this convenient source of Voldie's coalition.

P.S. If you ever decide to visit Tolyatti, Russia, remember that I owe you both a couple rounds of beer. ;)

As usual, I've enjoyed the latest chapter of this story. I've been faithfully reading it every time a new chapter comes out. =) Personally, I think it's interesting that Harry has a minor disability. After all, I have one, (not my leg though) so it's not unusual. Sometimes there are limits to what magic / medicine can do, so you just keep living with what you've got! It adds a bit of realism to the story and I think that's a good thing. It's always interesting to see how Harry hates being famous, yet he takes charge and leads people through times of crisis and wonders why they look to him for guidance in other areas. Of course, Hermione saw it coming. But she is the brightest witch of her generation, after all. You've kept me at the edge of my seat and I'm definitely curious to see how the rebuilding process goes now that Voldemort has been defeated. Again, keep up the good work! Lindsey Schocke

I've said it before and I'll say it again, BOBMIN was one of my first introductions into FanFic...I love you guys - Bob in a heterosexual way and Alyx in a...Does Bob own a shotgun?...to be determined later, way. You guys are great! I will always look for and read BOBMIN!

This has sure been a long haul, but well worth following along, of course. I'm excited to read the end, although I'll be sad at the same time.
Anyhow, just wanted to say how much I appreciate your hard work and dedication. :-)

I was going to wait until the story was completed before reviewing, but heck with that. I just wanted to let you guys know that this is one of the best Harry Potter fanfic I have ever read. You kept Harry real, like he was a real, normal person. Most of the stories I read have Harry becoming all buffed up and magic can do all things, no one has to put forth any effort for things, just snap your fingers and it happens. I love how you keep Harry injured, it brings a sense of belief into the story that I really appreciate.
Also, regarding the amount of sexual intimacy placed in the story, I believe it was the perfect balance between to much and not enough sexual exploits. Thank you so much for maintaining that balance. Far too many times, I have read a story that starts out great but descends into written smut and written porn. It is discouraging. You two have restored my faith that good fanfics do exist!
Thanks again, I have absolutely loved reading this story and cannot wait to see how you tie up all the loose ends.

The final battle was nice and detailed. I'm also glad that both Siohma and Susan are doing well. I can't wait to see how things wrap up considering that Harry always seems to be at the center of things and still doesn't really enjoy it. Will Luna be using Harry to bring any new species into existence ahead of their time? What abou the Goblins, Centaurs and House Elfs?

Aww, as excited as I am to see there's another update to read, it makes me sad because I'm afraid it'll be the last. But still, always good to read! It's neat to read how they're trying to settle things up at the end to set up for the "new" Britain. To be honest, I like reading about the preparations and plans way more than the battles!

I really like seeing Hermione the way you depict her. You don't take away her nagging or anything, because--let's be honest--it would Hermione then. But you don't make her into an incredibly annoying shrew either; it's nice to see you give her depth.

Anyway, all this to say: loving the fic!

patrick43057 posted a comment on Wednesday 18th April 2007 9:27am

Thanks for the journey you both have given me.
After you finish this story. Maybe you might write a Luna and Harry story. They seem to both have unlimited possibilities. And yes I did enjoy the Luna and Draco combo.
Thanks again!

Hey crazy couple!

I love the story and would be glad to read another when this is done. Bob keep doing the crazy disclaimers they're hillarious. Alyx please keep Bob grounded and burst his ego from time to time otherwise your stories will get ridiculous.

With much love from Staten Island

A good reminder that life goes on. Harry's dealt with the biggest item, but there are plenty more items requiring his and the Brotherhood's attentions. After some R&R, I don't think any of them will be bored for a long time to come. The opposite problem might apply, though.

Well, that little paragraph at the end of your author note got me. I never reviewed before, depite the fact that I faithfully checked the site for updates since "sunset over Britain". Needless to say, I loved your story. I felt the development of your characters totally believable. The plot was very well thought of and the relationship between your characters complex enough to keep one interested. What more to say that good job!... and that I really hope to read more fantastic sories from you in the future.... and sorry for not reviewing before!

*reads Alyx's note about those who don't review*... *feels ashamed of himself* Ok, Ok, I admit it, I'm a HUGE fan. I don't like reviewing because I don' actually think there's something important to say, you are REAlLY good and I love you humour, I also appreciate the fact that you made Harry more human (leg-wise) and, well... I don't know I just freaking love everything, specially the weird disclaimers you sometimes have, here's a donut! and.. pizza! *coughs* I mean... here's an e-donut and a slice of e-pizza! and... e-cookies with e-milk (eugh xD)... anyway I'm just filling some space. Kudos!!! *waves* Hope to read you soon.
