This was highly entertaining and quite the cross over plot line!

Wow, talk about a very different take on the series for sure. I loved the story for sure. Flure and harry are amusing much less harry getting his dads memoerys.

The Rise Of Harry Potter

Excellent work. Best Potter fanfic I have read and in fact I like it better than the original. Several characters in particular you did well with: Hermione, Harry, Krum, and Remus. S the sequel is almost ready?

Lmfao. Sure, didnya notice cockroach Krish at 20 hours a day types ONLY 500 words an hour for the past 40 days.

A) Click up an author search for "jbern", ask him if one these years he will get around to writing the sequel. Ask jbern to hurry up so cockroach krish can copy abd paste up the sequel for you. Possibly with jbern bust, writing original fics (as in copyright and $elling them) , and maybe if recall after so long, running a small book publisher, writing for free is nit a priority. BTW, the title is "Lies I've Lived", by jbern. How the fuck plagiariser Krish's latest username hasn't had the entire account pulled, a month ago, is a mystery.
Some of the thief's other copy and paste fics' have sequels, like the fic krish stole from draco664 .

PS. One review said Krishit left off lots of small sections that reduced the quality, even though much of the entire fic is verbatum, like the author note about a sequel.
But if Krish did not redo the chop off of the front end, I recognized part of a fairly lame fic was stolen, and used to replace the beginning if jbern's "lies... ". You should consider reading THAT, at least to where Krish finished his hack and chop job and started copying the rest of jbern's fic. Mystery why a lot of SPaGs never corrected many years ago. It is a shame so many of you are ignorant of top dog Potter fanfic authors back in the day... seems perhaps the golden age is gone, quality fanfic output in long decline. Plus SO MANY of the best, purged when this site changed their rules, going more puritanical, although several fics, including some old ones escaping the site's purges, remain, as many newer fics do, violating the more restrictive "adult" category's rules.

First off, listen to Dark-Fox-GT. I would've said any of the things in that review.

Beyond that, there was a lot of redundant information and a few conflicts within your story. An example would be in the first or second letter where you used the phrase "deal with", or something like it, about 4 or 5 times. There are several other similar words or phrases that you could use. Or in the first paragraph, where you said that Angie was sent to help Ryoga's problem of puking when you later said that it was nosebleeding.

There were a few other spelling errors, although they aren't the kind that a spell checker would notice, because they would be things like typing "our" when you meant to type "out". Or "Wreaking" instead of "Wrecking."

Now, I feel somewhat like I shouldn't critique on style, because everyone has a different style. Again, Dark-Fox-GT beat me to the punch by telling you to maybe put more in the letters, and then make each letter a chapter. As it is, I felt like you were just listing people and the clothes they wore, which caused me to become a little lost in it all. If I feel lost in a story, I will automatically skim over most of the descriptions, until I'm at a point where I see some plot.

While I don't speak for all writers or readers, I'd say that most people need a character to latch on to, and Ryoga is more of a voice for the list instead of a character. Again, spacing out the letters could help. Another thing that could help is talking about Ryoga's experience with getting his life hijacked by the Sailor Pluto in his world. Typing that up in a non-letter format might make the story better or worse (that's up to you), but if you take that advice, make that into the first chapter.

The point of those suggestions is that introducing about 10 characters in one chapter (especially the first chapter) will make all of them forgettable to most people. Putting more time into describing their looks won't help this; in fact, it could end up making things worse.

I would even go so far as to say that the letter format has, as you mentioned was a possibility in your author notes, made your story worse. Letters are usually quick and formal; they're made more for sending information than as the basis of a story. While I'm sure that there are some very good exceptions, that is the way things are most of the time.

That's why I thought it was like a list. It just gave me the characters "in theory", without showing me their personalities. Either that, or I just couldn't get into the story because of the proofreading comments that Dark-Fox-GT and I left, but I think it might also be the story format that you used. I think I would like to see if you would be willing to show me the story as it would be if it was a story, and not a series of letters. Doing that would be the only way that I would know if my difficulties came from the proofreading, the format, or both.

Since I don't like pounding people over the head repeatedly with negative comments, however, I will say that your concept could make a pretty funny story. Just consider what your reviewers say if you notice that they're all saying the same thing, and you should only change as much of your story's concept, plot, or style as you want to change.

First off, your review asking for reviews sounds pretty desperate. It makes you sound like you're not quite confident in what you wrote. As for the story, the idea is not bad, being a collection of letters from Ryoga on the mantle of Sailor Pluto to another Sailor Pluto from a different dimension or time period. My trouble with it is that it could use better editing. Try reading other stories on here, especially the ones that have good formatting on paragraphs. Yes, you can have paragraphs in letters. Also, how about you try taking each letter, spreading them out into multiple paragraphs, and isolate them by making them their own chapter? Sure, the lengths will be different, but not every story has their chapters at the same length and amount of words. One more thing, I didn't read it all the way through, but I believe you should change this story's rating to "Teen" at least for the description you have given Akane. I had to do the same thing for similar reasons because of the possibility of pre-teen kids reading what I have wrote. The rating system is something that I have come to respect. Anyway, I do hope that you see my review as constructive criticism, rather than being an insult to your work. Have a nice day.
