This is such a great story. It really is, and I'm not just saying that to make you feel good. Just thought you might like the encouragement to continue writing.

I always appreciate the encouragement. In this case, however, the next chapter was submitted a number of weeks ago. Sherry has just been so busy that she hasn't gotten around to posting it yet. Her schedule permitting, it will be here soon.
This is great. When I found out that you continued, I was so excited. I don't think you understand how excited I was. Usually, when a story is incomplete, I don't read it, because I just don't have the patience to wait for chapters to come out, but I couldn't just forget about this story, it's too great! I can't wait to see what happens next!
Oh, I feel like I should also tell you that I've only ever reviewed your stories. They're the only ones that made me feel like they were just so awesome and I had to tell you that I thought so.
Please continue. This is really my favorite fanfic of all time. Or at least one of them.
I feel like I may have a few questions, but not at the moment because I forgot. OK I'm off to re-read That Terrifying Momentum. Hopefully, by the time I'm done and back to this chapter, there'll be more!

I know unfinished stories can be a real pain. That lack of closure is difficult for a reader; everything remains unresolved, always waiting for the next update. That's the nature of fanfiction, published serially, like old pulp magazines.
Oh, I feel like I should also tell you that I've only ever reviewed your stories. They're the only ones that made me feel like they were just so awesome and I had to tell you that I thought so.
And I really, truly appreciate that you've reviewed! That said, maybe spread the love a little the next time you read something you like. I'm not the only person looking for a little support.
Please continue. This is really my favorite fanfic of all time. Or at least one of them.
I'd be more than happy being just one of them.

If any of those questions come back to you, I always enjoy answering them.
I am so glad that you are continuing this work of art. I'm already going through withdrawl and I just finished the last chapter of Vis Incita and can't wait for more.

Hey, thanks. The next chapter is still in progress, but I am working on it.
Nice job paraphrasing Rowling, while adding some new characters and events. Also, it's nice to read a story that follows grammar and spelling conventions.

I try to avoid paraphrasing, which is why most scenes that correlate directly with the books are written from a different POV. There are some parts that are more paraphrased than others, though. I believe at this point there are three lines taken verbatim from Rowling, which isn't too bad for over 300,000 words.
My grammar and spelling owes a great deal to Sherry, the fine webmjstress of Pheonxisong and editor of this story.
I am very glad you are continuing this story as it is one of my favorites of all time. I have read, and reviewed many fanfics over the years, and yours stands up to the best of them. (And no comments about my taste in fanfics, as I think I have very good taste.)
I don't know if this as been asked before, but have you thought about writing books based on Scott and his adventures? I think they would be very popular. I know I would read them.
Anyway, keep up the good work, and I look forward to the rest of the story.

I'd hardly be inclined to argue, seeing as you're reviewing my story.
I don't know if this as been asked before, but have you thought about writing books based on Scott and his adventures? I think they would be very popular. I know I would read them.
The biggest problem with that idea (and it's one I've given a lot of thought) is that Scott's 'adventures' require him to integrate with an already established universe. So, I'd more or less have to write an entirely different book for him to interfere with.
Also, I'm not very prolific. Never have been. Churning out a new fanfiction chapter every month or so is about typical for me.
Anyway, keep up the good work, and I look forward to the rest of the story.
now, since it was you who came up with that line, you shouldn't mind if I keep using it!
I liked the 'magic word' and the porn (who wouldn't...).
I was expecting Kreecher (or what's his name... that mad house elf) to make an appearance. Scott could probably cook a decent French onion soup, but after that wedding, I don't think he will

lol good job now, since it was you who came up with that line, you shouldn't mind if I keep using it!
I don't think anyone can really claim that phrase.
