I do like this better. Much cleverer. What would be funny is if mentally, child-Rita 'grew up' a second time and turns out a decent person - but maybe that's too warm and fuzzy for you. But if it ever came out that Bella & Roddy were partially responsible for the attack that caused her to regress, everyone would believe they'd done the world a favor (if they don't already, hehe).

I didn't mean to give you such a lashing but my feelings are very strong on the matters the previous version of the chapter stirred up. I'm sure that came across. I just knew that you had something more creative in you and that it wasn't your intention to create an uncomfortable moral contradiction. Glad you didn't take it too personally.

In the future, it might be tremendously helpful to have someone you can run your chapters by before posting. I'd offer to do it, but I'm extremely busy with school and 2 jobs and my own stories that I don't think I could add another thing to the pile. I know the rush of momentum you get when you finish a new chapter; you want to put it up right away so everyone can read it. Sometimes, though, it's best to let it sit for a little while so you can go back and look at it with an objective eye. What you thought was brilliant at 2 am may not be 12 hours later, and similarly what you're not entirely satisfied with at first may turn out to be great once you've had a few hours away from the computer.

And don't feel like you have to rush to satisfy readers. They would rather have a quality chapter that takes a little longer to complete than a hastily written one that doesn't fully represent your abilities. Trust me, I know - I have pushed the patience of my readers to an extreme at times. The point is you can't rush a great story.

:)

And I commend you for trying something new and listening to my strange music. Like I said it isn't for everyone, but I'm the sort of person that just can't abide cookie cutter music (though I will confess that I do listen to the occasional showtune...usually Phantom of the Opera because it's brilliant).

Oh, I do like this chapter MUCH better!
I'm a bit squeamish, so I didn't particularly care for the old version, but this was much nicer, and I think it still got the point across. Rita was a nasty person, but nobody deserves that sort of death that you'd penned in the first version. Thanks for changing it!

And yay, new chappy!!!
:D

I was just able to read the original chapter that you wrote and i have to say that i like this chapter better. It was funny instead of being kind of like a horror story. i loved when he suggested "a strongly worded letter" to the lestrange. I loved this chapter so much better.

Oh I do I do. Harsh but not too Death Eater harsh. It lets us know that maybe Bella and Roddy can make it through this new leaf program relatively changed and unchanged.
But I did like the old one too. I must admit, this was just much better. She loses everything and has to live with it. I really do love it. It's the perfect revenge with a bit of Bellatrix and Roddy nastiness with it.

I was a bit confused at first as to why she was acting all skittish and the "stranger comment", but it's 8 am here so I'm a bit slow on the uptake hahaha.

I really do hope that there is some Harry in the next chapter....maybe a few years into the future?
I think you've wrapped everyone up nicely. Now maybe a few years into the future at one of their weddings, and you can make it a long chapter and a perfect ending. Or someone is giving birth, or something climatic and lovely, but not TOO gushy.

I think where you left off just now in this chapter is the perfect leeway into a few years later. You've covered everyone, so why not right?
Unless of course you have more to say, in which case... More chapters? I'm all for it. haha

*sigh* Yes a wedding. We're so flustered with the payments and the saving and the everything that goes with it we're honestly at the point of "Oooh City Hall looks exceptionally pretty today doesn't it? And dinner at Stayners Wharf sounds delicious enough to finish it all off!"

Anyways my darling. I am off to the doctors and then work.
Fabulous chapter, and I'm truly excited to see what you do next.
