Wow that was great!! I totally loved it! How can I criticise this? You described everything so well... I especially like the ending

I would not let him pass. He laughed his high, cold laugh, and I knew then, as I looked boldly into his eyes, showing none of the terrible fear that I felt inside. As I faced death.
For Harry. |
That was classic! It's like reading poetry except it's not! You should start writing a fic! Your writing's absolutly GREAT!

thank you for your high praise. It is really encouraging.
I don't write much, because I'm not all that confident in it, and I always finishing up being caught up in the plot and it becomes stale and boring. I figured this would be an ok way to start, with an ending pre-written for me!
I also really figured that James and Lily needed their story told. It was so fascintating for me to try and imagine what was going through their mind 'that night'. It's such a beautiful idea, and easy to turn into a "nice" piece of writing, even though it was really such a horrible tragedy.
But thank you very much for letting me know what you thought. It is very appreciated!

Oh poopsy!! I was cleaning up the threads that hadn't put in feedback links and because I came across this one with replies and no link I assumed there wasn't one.
Anyway, sorted now, I've merged the topics so its all on one thread.
George's girl, if you want to see the quick way to make a link, click on the edit button on your post where I placed the link and you'll see how it's done. Basically you type in [*url=, and then paste the copied link to your feedback thread in, the put a backet like ] then type in the words you want to appear then type [*/url] all without the asterisks I've put in. If you have any trouble with future fics let me know. For now you can click on the edit button and just copy and paste the link exactly as I placed it in your chappie.

Well since you asked me so nicely to read it and comment on it... I just read it and now I must comment on it iI guess.. (

)
Anyway that wasa great story. It was really different from other stories i have read, and that made it so special. It's really cool how you worked out the thoughts, very nice. Maybe you should be more confident i your writing skills
I tend to write things too and sometimes i get too caught up in the dialogue's instead of the describing part of the story. Anywya it was a great story.

why thank you erik. i'm glad you thought so.
thanks for reading it.
i will always remember my year 11 english teacher drilling us to "show, not tell" when writing stories...like, describe things in creative and original ways.
i know what you mean, getting caught up the dialogue. that's why i found this a little easier. with all the aprehension that night, there wouldn't have been much 'casual chatting' if you know what i mean. and most of the dialogue, i actually got straight from the source - JK Rowling. most of it is taken from PoA, in the memories Harry hears when facing the dementors.
so, yeah, thanks!!! it means a lot!

Wow! That was great! Very Rowling. I think you should write more! Not on this topic, oviously, but more stories. Why not try writing your own idea, not something that you already basically know. Try writing something other than a one-shot. You are great!

wow!
a great one-shot!
i thought about writing a fic about that too, lately...
i just found yours... it's beautifully written! all their mixed feelings and how they care about their family...
i

I absolutely loved it! You have a real talent in writing, and I've read alot of fan fics! I liked how you portrayed the emotions of Lily and James, it fit with what Harry remembers in the books. I have nothing to critique, so great job!
