It started off well enough... Harry being cruel, just to push Hermione away. Showing the great lengths Harry would go to, to keep her safe. I could really feel the disgust that Harry felt for himself, the hurt that Hermione fielt, the anger of Ron, as he punched him out. But it kinda went down hill from there. First of all, you had Hermione figure out what he was doing very quickly, and yet, she couldnt forgive him for what he did/said. Sure, it was very hurtful, but I think if she's smart enough to figure it out, she's smart enough to know he didnt mean any of it.
Second, you had two giant plot issues. First, you have them making love in the first chapter (no, they dont do the act in the first chapter, but Harry remembers it; something about how he wouldnt have made love to her, blah blah), then you have later, in the tower, that they've never done anything more than a little groping, 'cause Herms wants to wait until marriage.
Your second plot hole is even bigger: you have Harry killing the dark lord twice. Once in the chapter labeled "the final battle", you have Voldy telling Harry that he couldnt do it (kill him) and Harry telling him he's wrong, and AKing him. Then in this last chapter, called the defeat, you have him battling it out in the woods and getting all injured, staring at the ashes of the dark lord.
I mean, I know it's fanfiction, and the authors are writing out of there love of the subject, and I do appreciate what all of you talented folks do, but if you're not going to outline a story, at least go back and review what you've already written. |
