I need to read instructions more often. Sorry about that. So, if you do have something to say about my fanfic, please list it by Scroll (the first two were one scrolls, but the rest should all be one scroll per post). That would help. If there are any mistakes, anything that doesn't make sense, or anything, post it here. There probably are a lot, seeing as I'm not re-reading any of these, and a lot of them have been done when I was tired, and since they haven't been edited, they probably aren't that good. I'll start editing when I've finished all of them, however many that is. Hopefully this makes sense. I'll put something on the main posts so y'all get directed here. Thanks.

Oh! I must note that I just posted Scroll Eight, and it is very graphic I think. Well, there are some sexual connotations (not really, but it's supposed to sound that way) and blood imagery, so not too bad, seeing as the style I wrote in prevents from giving away too much detail, but still. I don't know how to do warnings, but I want to warn people that that post is more PG 13 than the others, so if someone knows how, please do tell! Also, I want to know if I should keep writting in that style, or if I shoul stick to what I used before, because I like both. Scroll Eight is fun, mostly because it's kinda weird, and I can go on like that forever.
Thanks!

I posted again! And I'm a filthy liar, want to find out why? Read it!

No, seriously, that's about the only reason why. I'm not sure why I'm keeping this one going at all, so if someone reads it, my life might find some sort of meaning, somehow... Or not...

Aeryn,

I think you will find that many people are reading your fics. They are very creative and do not follow all the snogging of Harry/Ginny or Ron/Hermione that has gotten kind of overdone in the last year or so. This is what I especially like about your stories; they are creative and different. Your mind is so in tune with the darkness that it allows you to write from that point of view with emotion.

A few things that you may want to consider that may allow your story to flow a bit better.

Punctuation, grammer and spelling are key. If they are missing or incorrect in any aspect of your work, it distracts from a constant flow of reading. Things like quotation marks for people speaking and spacing help the reader read with more fluency. While spelling mistakes happen to the best authors, it is best to reread several times to make sure your excitement as an author isn't the cause of spelling errors. Using a beta and spellcheck are always a plus.

Writing emo is indeed fun and you do it so well however for the purpose of your story, you may want to try and let the reader know exactly who you are writing about. A couple of times I am not sure if it is The Dark Lord or Snape or even what time period this is. I think once you had Voldemort arguing with Harry. Was this at the time of his second fall? It seems to me you have been writing mostly from the first time The Dark Lord fell so this chapter was a little out of place for me.

It is most helpful, especially if you want feedback and validation that other members are reading your story to add the feedback link to every page you write. Yes, it takes a bit of time and effort but it is well worth it in the end.

Keep up the good work and update some of your other fics too. I love reading them.

Thanks!

Just a note, when the Dark Lord is speaking to Harry, it's both in the future (I thought at that time that the Dark Lord would kill Harry in a graveyard, end where we began kinda thing), and the past, because of how the death thing works.

I went back and spell checked everything, seeing as my old internet didn't have a spell check, and I'm easily bored by the fact that this one doesn't know names. So, theoretically, that should fix it all. This is more like a side project for the person who should be doing homework instead.

The purpose of this one is that it has no time period, because it's just a jumble of events, although sometimes I like it to be anonymous; it's more fun that way. Who's who kinda thing!

I will edit my signature, as soon as it feels like behaving and not opening links every time I try to delete it.
