RE SPOT
As it's all witches, wouldn't Sororety/Sisterhood be more appropriate - As a general rule we don't use sororety in the uk, but... *shrugs*

From any other author, that would be the most arrogant claim penned. However, I've read enough of your stuff to know that you have, in fact, ascended to the lofty heights of true geekism. Congratulations.

One sung that should be sang, two can not's and a couple of things that I'm not sure are mistakes or use of British spelling. Feel perfectly free to ignore all, I'm feeling cynical today.
I'm still enjoying it.
On another note,
If he didn’t have Ginny, if by some quirk of nature, he didn’t like girls, if he lived in a world where water flowed uphill and he was actually gay, there was still no way at all that he could ever be anything other than polite to the ferret.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I've been looking for a way to say that for ages!

The Boy who sends cryptic emails before pulling off coups
E-mails?
Otherwise, I'm thoroughly enjoying this fic for the forth or fifth time--I lost count.

the mind boggle at how anyone could rabidly hate this fic o.o, i LOVED it ^^
the latter parts i loved, the earlier parts i loved, the style may have changed and matured, but they were both good reads nevertheless, hilariously funny in the beginning and semi-serious and well written near the end. all in all, ive waited for ages for the last few updates (not knowing that they've been her for what, som 3.5 months? =p) and I have to say, i wasnt disappointed at all, far fom it ^^

Fun fic. I enjoyed reading it, thanks.

Wonderful! Funny, touching, action filled, everything an HP story should be. I enjoy the light touch you use, while making the characters truly come to life.
Now, the only problem I have is the wait for the next chapter of Hope, not to mention the other goodies you have lined up!

Well, that was every bit as fun as I could have hoped, and then some. When the school started singing O Tommy Boy I just about died of laughter. I survived, but the bad guys were dead soon after so it was that much the better!
The battle had so many fun, clever and apropriate elements: Arthur playing with Trebuchets (the ULTIMATE Muggle toy!); Death Eaters turning to little, cudly animals and getting trampled; deadly flying cows; and Voldemort hoping mad (The later actually had me waiting for Anya's "Kill them! Kill them!" line.). All in all, it was pretty darn awesome.
You weren't kidding about what you said about shipping. The H/G definitely came through in the end -- and set up a hilarious way to finish the story. But once I was looking for them, I did find the Harry/Dragon language rather humorous too. Definitely wouldn't didn't expect that twist.
So, thanks again for all the hard work. Like I said last night, with the possible exception of some of the focused seriousness in 10B, I found this story hilarious and throughly enjoyable from start to finish. You deserve all kinds of credit for the amount of work you put in.
I must say, though, now that I'm finished I'm feeling a bit melancholic. This story was, to me at least, one of the last great throwbacks to the days when PS was at its best and when fanfic wasn't as restrained as it's become in the current canon world. I'm going to miss it, but I can always come back -- and hope for a new golden age of fanfic to start round about August 1st.
Anyway, thanks again for everything, Tim. You're the best!

Hey Tim,
I'm only halfway through, but it's time for me to stop reading for the night and I wanted to say how much I'm enjoying this.
First of all, since I'm the Quidditch guy, I have to say that the match was brilliantly done. I figured that Wood had to be one of the ringers on Harry's team and, of course, Krum was a logical choice for the last spot, but because of the seeker situation I didn't think you'd do it. Well, more power to you for figuring out a fun way around that obstacle that didn't take Harry away from the spotlight at the end.
My only complaint? That the match was so short. It certainly seemed like it was going to be a defining moment early in the story, but it ended up as something of an aside. Still, the focus of the story has changed considerably in the last parts, so I understand the reasoning.
I also throughly enjoyed the trials. Percy was actually kind of scary as a domineering autocrat. But I he certainly got his comeuppance in the end, didn't he? Dumbledore fooling him as he did was great; almost as great as Dumbledore getting to be Umbridge's lawyer. But the cake in that scene had to go to Sirius. His role -- with Scooby Snacks, no less! -- just about killed me. That was definitely a healthy dose of the levity I was missing in the last chapter.
Finally, a question. You really wanted to ship Harry with some other characters at the end, didn't you? Harry, drunk and half-naked, in the hot tub with seven girls? Harry picking up Gabrielle's spirits? Blais' leading role? I know H/G's not your thing anymore, and I can see (or a think I can) slipping in here. Not that that bothers me; it's a nice edge to the story.
Anyway, I'll finish up tomorrow in all likelihood. Thanks again!

I just read the whole thing in one sitting and it just blew me away. Hiarious without being plumb, epic without boisterous, detailed without nitpicking and all in all bloody amazing. The Mmail format was great and i just suck up SuperHarry. I don't care about ships, as long as it's not too cliché, and this complicated dreamscape of a relationship, highlighted by Narcissas closing comment to Ginny, was just beautiful. The spaceflight felt both out of place and just right. Like the unicorn in BladeRunner, it was the bit that had to go there. I agree it had to end here, but it's still a bloody shame a story this good has to end at all.
Thank you from the sleepdeprived bottom of my heart.

A great ending to one of the best HP fanfics. Looking forward to what's next.

My thought about the fic as a whole.
Great story,
keep up the good work.

I have to say it: I truely detest Eragon. The allusions did irk me somewhat but, loath as I am to admit it, they were reasonably and tastefully used.
Cheers,
A.R.

Well i am extremely impressed with this story. it has a little bit of everything, it is well written, and it's nice and long dispite only being 12 chapters long. it is an amazing peice of work and i really only wish that there was a sequal or would be a sequal to this story as i think there could be so much done with this story afterwords.
with that said it certianly DOES NOT take away from the stories greatness and this is the type of story i could read over and over again.

I first read this story at PhoenixSong, but then lost interest in reading ANY HP fanfic whatsoever around chapter 8.
I've been re-reading the books lately, and decided it was time to get caught up on TMW--it's the first fic I've come back to. Imagine my delight when I found out that the story was FINISHED.
But at PhoenixSong, the last part of chapter 10 is not up yet, so after a bit of research I found this site, and here I am.
This is an awesome story, from beginning to end, and I'm glad I came back to finish reading it.

Had a really good idea this morning--this is something I could really see Harry's Girls doing. A way of 'resurecting' Harry's parents w/out altering the time line! Use a time turner to go back to the moments when each died, and hide nearby. (Elf Space would be wonderful for this, but its the wrong story.) At the last second, replace each parent with a replica--perhaps a transfigured mouse or something. Then travel back to 'present day' and present Harry with his parents as a gift. Of course, nothing could possibly equal him getting rid of Voldie for the Wizarding world, but this might come close (or so the time-travelers might think.) As a birthday gift would be good--the other main occasion I could think of would be his marriage, but he'd be occupied then with his bride.
Feel free to tweak this idea to your hearts content. I'm not very good at stories. Poetry I can do, but at fiction I'm mediocre at best.
Thanx
