| Well, more of a favourite quote: "There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Alice in Wonderland -Lewis Carroll [Report This]

I've reread this and am again eager to read more. Makes me wonder, are you OK? It's been a very long time since the last update--I hope you're just busy with Real Life...
Author's Response: I am unable to load on this site for some reason - I post on hpfandom and am up to chapter 14
AU. This is a Snape mentor Harry kind of story. It starts with Harry's summer vacation before his Second Year as Snape comes across something that breaks all delusions about the boy's home-life. Please don't flame. I really appreciate constructive criticism but no flames. Please!

Yes, I'll review, but I'm not sure you'll like what I have to say...can't help it, though, as a professional proofreader.
I think you are off to a good start storywise, but your sentence structure is unfortunately so unintelligible that I'm having a lot of trouble reading this story. You have double verbs in many sentences, lots of redundancy. It is making me want to stop reading already.
I will continue on with one more chapter, to give you the benefit of the doubt, but your beta is not keeping you from making any mistakes at all, to say the least...

A bit better, structurewise, but you still ramble and repeat yourself kind of a lot. Try to read more in English so that your structure will tighten itself up a bit.
I'm not giving up on this story just yet!
I hope you don't feel like I'm flaming you or anything, because that's totally not my intention. I just want to give you some constructive criticism without re-betaing your chapters...

Better structure this time around. Still some difficult passages, but better in general.
The only thing is that we don't know what was so terrible at the Dursleys' house to make Snape take him away and hex Vernon...it wasn't a nice room, and yes, the locks and bars were alarming, but what else? Substance, you know? Not necessarily blood and guts, but a little more depth would be great...

Interesting, but does this mean Lily was bitten, or just her ring? Must've been some ring, that! And it would mean she was infected, which would kind of eliminate her attractiveness as a match for James, would it not??

Serious tear-jerker.
I'd started reading this series on ff.net and then lost track of where I left off, so am re-reading. Awesome chapter, Tabitha!

Oh, the toy store scene was priceless! Cracked me up! Although I hate to think of Lily spoiling her kids quite so badly...
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you liked the toy shop scene - I had great fun writing that. I know what you mean with Lily, I don't like the idea of her being such a b**** but I'm afraid it's necessary for the story.

Most definitely enjoying them! And I am certainly not likely to complain about frequent updates of a story I'm into!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you're enjoying the chapters. I'm afraid that the frequent updates are going to cease soon as I've practically run out of stockpiled chapters but hopefully I'm back on track with this and the time between chapters won't be so long!

Are there racoons in Britain? I thought them native to the. Americas...
