it does have a few spelling errors but that really doesn't take away from the story, so you're good there. i really like silver and harry's interaction and malfoy-silver and harry's interaction. the only thing I don't like is lucius and his little liasons, but i understand that adds to the story on some basis, so good job!!~!!

hi there :) it pleased me no end to hear that you are continuing this story. I only stumbled across it two days ago, and have been reading it non-stop in my spare time since. my heart caught in my throat and I was ready to scream bloody murder when it seemed as if you might give up on it- never even consider that- I will find you and beat you to death with a malfoy plushie!!! (a draco one, not lucius...)
it seems as if you could do with some more positive vibes from your audience, so here goes: I am a university student from denmarc; I study what would roughly be translated as "the science of literature". now, what I am specialising in is actually slash fanfiction (and yaoi), which is, in my country, still such a rare thing to work with from a scientific point of view, that most of my time recently is taken up with finding texts of a high enough quality to warrant further study. (yay- I can read lots of yummy slash and actually get (students-) pay to do so :) ) and what I think you deserve to hear is, that after three months of studying literally hundreds of slash fanfics, your text is one of THE best I have read- I'll say it's made it into my personal top five list easily! the writing is elegant and infused with a wonderful sense of humor, that never seems to cross the line into base slapstick or cheap jokes. the characters are virbrant and alive and, more importantly, internally consistent throughout the lenght of the serial narrative. as you yourself point out, you do rely heavily on original characters, but in my point of view, this is not a weakness. on the contrary, I see real talent in the way you write these; it is almost impossible to introduce new characters into a universe such as the HP one. we alle know harry, and his personality has been established over the course of six books. if I, as a reader, am to believe aquilla and orion as characters in this setting, you have to make me know them and their patterns of reaction as wall as I know eg. harry's. what impressed me about these characters were not (only) that you made me believe them, but the fact that you made me feel as if i knew them that well without using more space to establish them than you give to, say, ron or harry. last, but definitely not least, I never feel lost in your plot, but rather quietly confident that you are taking me in the right direction. the ends of your sub-plots tie together very smoothly, and the story progress in an even tempo- it does not constantly jump between rambling along and creeping slowly forwards like too many fanfics do, but keep a more even pace that allows the mind of the reader to relax and ease into the story.
I nealy choked when I read how relatively young you are- your writing is no doubt talented, but I was surprised that you have reached the level of professionalism you display in your writing at your age. I hope you do not take it as condescending when I say that I am honestly impressed!? please tell me that you are somehow studying to be a professional writer of sorts? :)
yrs sincerely (and loads of fangirl hugs), starsmore (please write more penndragonne soon...)
