Even though you abandoned this story, it turned out to be one of the funniest HP fan fic stories I've read. The situations, Harry casually doing the impossible, and the comments from the various characters were superb. Thanks for this small gem, even though it didn't get to where you wanted it to be.

All the female readers want to "see" the wedding.

I was enjoying the action and minimal drama.

While I'd like to have seen this completed to your standards, this is good as a complete story on its own.

Still, like to have gotten to the wedding.

Drama is over-rated.

I like it. While short it is well thought out. The mini epilogue isn't necessary as the ending is perfect. The open ending leaves it up to the imagination. A picture of Melissa for imagery would be nice.

Well mostly this is still very good writing. I could have done without the bit about Lizzy of the Thames, your insane naming skills need proper supervision by an adult person that preferably does speak the language of the country the persons are meant to live in and it is a trifle hushed as an event, but then the last factor DOES make for a hilarious comedy feeling, a lot of what would usually stem from "conflict" can be replaced here with the everlasting flow of neckbreaking speed turns and twists and the insanity of it all (works in movies and tv series all the time) and at least the cast works quite well.

If you'd ever tried to repair or write a marginally more believable version of something like this though you should probably not make the sidestory with the two "handpicked" girlfriends go so absurdly quickly into nothing, wasting the whole potential for misunderstandings, grudges and all that for a cheap "don't you dare ever doing us a 'favor' again, Granger" (why not have somebody with more perception than tact - like Ron or maybe Luna - point out Nevilles likely involvement in the porn affair and keep the sidethread running?) and if you insist on pulling up such a shock moment revelation like the freeing of the elves, maybe make more to properly lead up to it...

Had Hermione not started "on the eve of disaster" but the whole "Operation get Harry laid" gone on for weeks if not months with the attempt to get him into double dates, bring both together in situations ideal for flirting and whatnot, finding it more and more tasking to invent yet another reason or excuse to have time for another try... and had it been interspersed with elves being treated bad or ignored in their wishes moments, Harry always weaseling out of the attempts to get him into commitment or even look interested, vanishing randomly and without trace and being more and more run down from the stress and effort put in his courtship of the Princess, the ultimate discovery that he planned his wedding and worked tirelessly on being acceptable to king and queen, learn french and get Melissa to fall in love with him, would have come perfectly fine into a well prepared environment and story.

Seriously what stopped you from having Harry already thinking about the wedding and all preparations done in the background by elves he had freed weeks before by causing the ministry or the owners to break the contract and "buying up" all broken / breeched contracts with the new rules, all Kings and Queens informed and Melissa at least already "doyouliketogooutwithme" girlfriend, the revelation for the READER would still have been breathtaking and Hermione going into Tilt&Reboot mode and slowly recognizing all the signs and finding out how well she got played by shy and innocent Harrikins over half a year, would have been a great punchline for the end...

Her parents arriving at the "Ball" in the know and having helped with some things like the Dursleys could have rubbed her "inattentiveness" in even more.

As it is the wedding thing hangs a bit loose inside a lot of threads that come out of nowhere and end in nothingness, which i guess is a big factor in you disliking the result. But well, sometimes even silly litlle ideas need a 250k story to work out as a good plot and story. There are definitely enough brilliant ideas and good dialogue in this to make something great out of it if you'd want to. Heck it's still good for laughs and giggles and it's the skeleton of a story. Must be great to be such a good writer, that your worst results still make decent entertainment . *sigh*

This is a fun piece! The lack of a summary made me disregard it, and now I'm glad someone recommended it in a forum. Please give us a Harry/Fleur story, Jeconais!

nice romantic comedy. Thanks for posting it.

I really enjoyed this. Even though I would like more you ended it in a place I'm feeling happy about. Thanks for writing it, I liked your portrayal of Harry.

I definitely love this story! I guess I love most of the stories where the answer is: "He's Harry Potter." :)

Sigh, I just know that it would do absolutely no good to ask you to carry on with this fic. If it helps, it makes a wonderful piece of crack fic.

Would love to see this finished.

Hope is perfect.

This story was near perfect until you ended it.

Conflict is not necessary to a story. This story had the momentum moving it.

Any crap author can write angst and conflict. A really good author can simply take you on a story.

Nytefyre posted a comment on Wednesday 13th February 2013 3:41am for Princess

Well... I can't disagree that this is fluff in the sense of lack of conflict... but it's FUN fluff.. I had a wide smile on my face through most of this story. IMO, sometimes a little bit of fun is just what the doctor ordered. Don't know about the closure portion.. but still wish there was a bit more. In some ways, this is very much calling out for a honeymoon/end of wedding "And they lived happily ever after. The End." fade-to-black.

Thanks for posting.

Hi,

Sure, there is not much conflict but you still have the "fight against the environment" part in actually pulling the wedding of in time.

Besides it was funny and you write a good storry so what is there to complain about?

Overpowered "perfect" characters might get tedious in a long story, but this short one I enjoyed and would happily have read a second chapter. I can see how actually keeping it interesting could be hard tho.

philh1985 posted a comment on Friday 3rd August 2012 11:14pm for Princess

I rather like this story and wish it had at least continued thru the wedding. I saw you feel it isn't a story because it doesn't have conflict. I agree that stories with conflict are entertaining, but I also happen to like stories where the good person/people have good things happen to them without any unnecessary drama/angst. In the case of Harry Potter, we've all read the horrible parts of his life, so reading a flat-out good part like this is very nice and I would love to see more, both of this particular story and this kind of story.

This is a story I wish there was more to.It is just so damn fun to read.

You know that feeling when you hit rock bottom and everything goes greyish; you know the feeling will end eventually but it is horrible to just wait it out. Then completely by accident I read TMW when depressed and it started me on the ladder to climb out. I have now read everything here over and over again when I am in extremis and I feel it is about time I thanked you. It doesn't work everytime, but then there is no such thing as a perfect cure and I am grateful for any help at all.

Oops, I got side tracked. What I meant to say was that this pulled me out last night and I think it is fan-bloody-tanstic. (I know this sounds incredibly cheesey but if I were to ever get married, to read then end of this would be a perfect wedding gift!) So thank you for writing and here's wishing you a happy Wednesday
