Reviews for Miscalculations

    I first started this post because I absolutely love this story. I just started reading a few weeks ago, but I have gotten through all the chapters. I know it isn't originally your story and you are very brave to translate it all!
    I know how you feel, though. My first language was French, so I know the woes of having to learn a whole new language. But that was a VERY long time ago. I've been in the United States for 14 years now and I started learning English when I was very young. Sometimes I think I know it better than French.
    To get to my point, if you are still looking for someone to look over your translations, I'd be happy to polish up the little things that get lost in translation. To tell you the truth, you did a very good job! But if you are interested, email me about it. I'd happily look over the posted chapters as well as look over new chapters when they come.

    Good chapter! I know you said you're busy, and believe me I understand (I'm in my final year at uni and swamped with work) but I'll be looking forward greatly to your next chapter :)

    I saw that you said that english wasn't your first language and I must say that you did a very good job translating this fanfic for your friend. It's a very interesting twist on an AU/post HBP. Is that it, or is there more?? I do hope that there's more to it than that. Good job and good luck!

    Very, very good story. Loved it, does it end there or is there one more scene. Excellent work.

    @Beth
    Thanks for your reviews regarding the story and the translation. About the linear measures: In the original (German) version Janus used the metric system as it's common in Germany. I guess I royally messed up when converting it. Severus' sleeping place is 2 meters in length and 1 meter in width, in case you want to try yourself ... ;-)
    I don't quite remember the scene you mention (love you, hate you), I'd have to reread it ...
    "Aethonan" - another mistake of mine. Correct spelling would be: Aethonon. It's the name of the winged horses that live, according to the HP-universe, in Britain.
    About your offer to beta read, I guess that's up to Janus. I, for one, would be interested in having those awkward sentences pointed out to me. Janus seems to be too busy at the moment, guess we'll have to wait until that changes. Then we can see about the conclusion of the story and maybe your help with it...
    Thanks again
    Lex

    Just wondering if you still needed a beta reader. I'm willing to look chapters over for spelling, grammar, and awkward wording. Not sure if it's really necesarry since there are only two chapters left but I thought I would offer just in case

    Thank you

    Oooo!! I like!! Oh please update soon!! I need more!! Just a question... Who whispered the first I love you? Your conversation goes "I love you" "I hate you" "I love you too" Did Draco whisper I love you and then I hate you or did Harry say I love you twice? That scene sorta confused me. I also again noticed some minor spelling and grammar issues and a few ackward sentences again. But please update soon!! Also what is an Aethonan? I don't know that word and I couldn't find it in the dictionary.

    Well I've only read up to chapter three so far but I wanted to point out a mistake I found. You are describing the dimensions of Serverus's sleeping area and you say it is 3 feet and 30 inches by 6 and a half feet. 30 inches is two and a half feet. So the area is 5 and a half feet by six and a half feet. Did you mean this? if so why not just say five and a half feet? I also noticed a few minor spelling errors like were instead of where. But They weren't huge. Some of the sentences were a bit ackward as well. But over all I'm loving this and I can't wait to keep reading. I like how you have Draco admitting that he doesn't really care for Harry he's just playing a role. After all how can he love someone who is his master? I also wanted to say good job with the translation. I'd never know your first language wasn't english if you hadn't said anything. Now on to the next chapter.

    Wow! I really can not wait for the next chapters - this story is well written and it is not as predictable as other lesser stories. It is filled with true emotions and even gives the reader something to think about - I like that fact that it is realistic and sticks to the character's true personalities - please update soon and do not forget about this story. I think it has made it into one of my favourites :) Keep up the good work.
