the lasth month since you had last updated, i checked you site multiple times(almost every day!!) to see if the last part would be out. and though, yes your writing had changed, i think you could do yourself proud with whatever you do. even if it were writing a sequel the way you write now. because as you said in your postscript: "harry will probably end up helping out on the sidelines". it is a very good story. and if people ask i would certainly recommend this story to them!! bye bye by kate19

I say to hell with the detractors. From this website, this is one of the two most creative stories I have come across. I understand not wanting to do a sequal. At least not right away.

Anyway, good luck with any other stories you come up with.

Thank you for finishing one of the best stories I ahve ever read in fan fiction. This story was the first piece of Harry Potter fan fiction I had read and got me hooked on reading it in general. I can now see how your writing changed from begining to end of the story, but I feel that it added to the story not detracted from it.

I loved every single second of this story. I think that you have raised the bar for other writers with this and several of your other stories. The only thing that I can say is thank you. Thank you for taking time out of your life to give me and many, many others a way out of our mundane lives. I can't think of anything I would rather do than sit down and read an intelligent, well written story. So again I say Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Daniel Nelson Hensley

OMG... this absolutely ROCKS!!!!

Tim, I gotta say, that after it's all said and done, it really doesn't matter how long it took you to get this thing finished! THANKS!!! And GOOD JOB!!

I swear, my cat was giving me funny looks as I shouted for Krum... and applauded for Percy...

By the time I got to 'elderberries', I was nearly falling out of my chair! Quite the ROFL'ing story! It was reminiscent of the dance scene earlier!!! :-)

I am eager to see how you finish "Hope", but I know now, that however long it will be, it will be worth the wait!

Thanks again!

Thank you , thank you, thank you!

Thank you for such a funny, unique, priceless and simply brilliant story.

I loved it (even if I'm not usually a fan of the Harry/Ginny pairing) and I even loved the end/last chapter. But this "even" is only because it is the last chapter of the story, the end of a journey through your mind or better to say through your story/universe.

I loved it because you made the storyline credible and I will come back to read it again (in one sitting). But not for tonight. I choose to read this part even if I have to loose my beauty sleep for it. Now I'm off to bed and stand up in 4 hours to go to work.

Be proud of your work and take care
Ina

"It seems so long ago," Ginny said, "that all this started."
"It was a different life, Gin. One I’m happy is behind me.

autobiographical much? ;-)

Tim,
Nice job. You're right your writing style has changed and--partly due to the way JKR treats the HG relationship in HBP, this actually feels less natural than it did at the beginning. Oh well, external forces have as much to do with a story as internal ones at times. Still,
a very nicely done job with lots of humor and other good things to keep one interested and interesting character development as well. Looking forward to other bits and pieces of other thigns as they happen for you and thanks again for a great tale.
Matt

Excellent all around story. When good stands against evil, evil loses. The use a mmail was new and unique that worked really good to carry the story.

Thanks for a good story

A well and proper way to end this fantastic romp!

The Wizengamot Meeting: Busted!Fudge, Busted!Umbridge, Busted!Wormtail (again), Busted! DE Wizengamot members (especially Parkinson), and (finally) Mousetrapped!Percy (a nice change of pace that it's *Percy*, not Arthur, that got stuck being Interim Minister).

Pansy: Harry warned her. Draco warned her. *Nott* warned her. Now she's pushing up mandrakes.

Neville/Bellatrix: Neville got past his rage and thirst for revenge; apparently he read the ancient proverb: "When seeking revenge, first dig two graves."

Riddle vs. Team Black: Who better to pin Riddle down than Sirius, Narcissa, *and* Bellatrix (and how apt that they use Tom's favorite non-lethal curse to do it!) so Harry can administer the Final Slicing.

Lucius and Rodolphus: Both find out MUCH too late that you piss off a Black at your peril, and just before their boss learns the same lesson the same way.

Definitely different, Tim; and definitely *satisfying*.

Scooby dooby doooooooo...something which you forgot to mention:}

I have loved this story from when I first read it till now, and yes I have noticed that your writing style has changed, less humourous jokes, but more general broad humour...I have enjoyed the years of enjoyment this has given me, and look forward rereading the entire lot in one sitting later on.

Congratulations! A wonderful end to the epic, well worth the wait. I wondered a few times towards the end whether this was going to morph into a harem fic at the end, very glad it didn't.

TMW also has the singular honor of being the ONLY H/G fic I've followed to the end since I became an inveterate H/Hr shipper. Fortunately for my touchy stomach you kept the R/Hr moments to a minimum, but even if you hadn't I think I would've kept reading. Now that it's finished I'll head back to Portkey and the ship I love best, but for the adventure, the laughs, and the smiles, thank you!

Thanks, Tim! This is the story that "hooked" me on Fan Fiction, though I like everything you've written!

I loved it thanks for writing it

Thank you for the enjoyable ride, and for finishing it after all this time!

No sequel??? Damn.... Are you absolutely sure?? (puppy dog eyes on full blast)

Well, it took long enough but it was worth the wait - now to go back and reread it from the beginning again to get the full scope and majesty of these immoral..erm, immortal words.

Loved it and can hardly wait for the next piece of "Hope" to come out. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your patience with all of us out here who have been hounding you all this time - great story, and hope for many more.

Cheers,

...and what a long, strange trip it's been. As well-written as ever. It's interesting to trace the evolution of your writing style from the first chapters to the present. Your writing style has matured, and it's impressive. Thanks for a great story.

It could have happened no other way, and I would have it no other way. This is a great story, not just a fanfiction. Keep writing and I will keep reading

Jamie46 posted a comment on Tuesday 27th February 2007 5:18pm

:) ...sigh... eeeeeee!!!... hahah, knew it!... hahahhaha... =-O ... wow!... :-D .... HAHAHAHHAHAHA..... yay... ha ha... whoa! ...

and other such various expressions. All are what I felt, said, and otherwise expressed while reading this awesome chapter. I've loved this story for a very long time and am a little sad to see it end, but at the same time, very, very excited for those same updates. It was an awesome story, one that I continuously reread, even while it was in unfinished status. It's one of my all-time favorites and I know I'll read it again in the future. I look forward to reading more of your stories (as I don't think I've come across one that I dislike), and while I agree that it'd be interesting to see what further happens in the TMW storyline, I agree that this was the place to stop and you wrapped it all up nicely. :) Thanks so much for writing this, for finishing it, and for creating this awesome website for such fantastic fics. :-D

...And Ginny is one LUCKY girl, and I'm rather jealous. :-P :-D hehehe.

(The final battle was brilliant: I loved how Voldie kept losing supporters right and left at the start. :-D kekeke)

You are a god... a part of me is sad that this is the end, but a bigger part has been waiting for this since you posted chapter 9 on ff net and I found it by a coincidence, since I've read it many time over.
I'll end this longest review with the same words I told Abraxan when she finished her "The Refiner's Fire" duo:
You are an amazing writer and I sincerely hope hat this is not your last piece of writing.

P.S. Monty Python, FTW

P.P.S. Now go finish "Hope"
