    I don't have a problem with yelling about flamers, but Eve was not a flamer - I read the review she left, and it was perfectly acceptable constructive criticism. That, by the way, is the whole point of constructive criticism. There is no point to posting and accepting reviews if you're just going to yell at the people who try to help you improve your writing. She indicated at least twice that she actually thinks your story is rather nice, so it certainly wasn't a flame, and the rest of it was genuine constructive criticism - she pointed out examples so you would know what she was talking about and then explained why she suggested improvements.
    You can scream about this all you want, but I've been yelled at by authors like you before, and have in fact yelled at one reviewer who did what Eve did. Someone else pointed out to me that it was not a flame, and I re-read the review when I was calmer. It was not a flame. It was constructive criticism. I just don't handle criticism well, and I'm assuming you don't either. When you're calmed down, take another look. I can't make you do anything, but I am personally morally obligated to defend someone who would have a hard time protecting herself on her own. Sometimes it takes an objective third party to point out where things went wrong.
    This is not a criticism of you; I do not think you are a bad person. I do think that you overreacted and need to address your behavior and apologize to Eve. You can still defend yourself and your actions, and you can decide to not correct your work, but she was fulfilling the purpose of the review button - to provide constructive criticism, not to send the general mindless "ur fic rox" review. Those are ego-stroking, but are not the reason the reviews exist.
    Do as you please; I obviously can't make you do anything.

    ps - a beta reader is someone who is willing to read through your fic before you post and suggest edits. A lot of people ask their friends, which is usually a bad idea. Ask someone who offers themselves as a beta who writes good-quality literature, or ask an author you really admire (though they may say no). You should look for someone with a superior grasp of grammar and spelling, who can write compelling literature of their own.
    This last bit is probably slightly offensive, but I'm a tad impatient with you: instead of screaming about how 'new' you are and how you don't know what a beta is, use a google search engine and look it up. I didn't know what one was when I started. When I saw the new term, I googled it. It was hardly brain science. Eve didn't need to hold your hand and explain everything word-for-word, she probably logically assumed you'd go looking for what a beta was and how to find one, because I'll bet you anything the majority of authors figured it out the same way - by asking someone directly or by looking it up with a search engine. We're not in the 1960s anymore; the world is literally at your fingertips. Stop relying on other people for everything. You have a brain. Use it.

    Wonderful! I love this story. The plot is making great headway. I can't wait until the next chapter! You have so many plot lines to follow up on, and twists that haven't completed their turns that I'm getting dizzy just trying to keep up. But that's probably because I'm tired and has absolutely nothing to do with your writing. In fact, I love your writing. I loved your descriptions of Harry and his friends, Remus and Sirius with their love fest, and basically everything is peachy keen! I can't wait for the next chapter. Until then! :)

    I like the story and where it's going, but I must admit I'm completely distracted by the breaks in the story for little authors comments. I think those would be much better left in an authors note before or after the chapter, not interspersed within the story itself.

    I have stumbled upon this story several times. Each time i start to read it because of its interesting plot, but stop when Harry goes goth and gets some tattoos and piercings. I just think it's ridiculous that the only way people can show that Harry is being rebellious is if he completely changes his wardrobe so drastically. Anyway, interesting story, but i could do without the goth

    I think your story rocks! All except when you had to go into detail about Harry and his friends super spectacular outfits. I loved the descriptions, and it's probably fun as hell to imagine and then write... it just takes up a lot of room in a chapter. BUT you have confined that type of details to only one chapter so it's not a problem and I'm not upset or telling you to NOT do it, it's just my own little preference for stories and you can completely ignore this part of the review because YOU are the author. :) I read your A.N.'s and I'm sorry you are getting flamed for NO reason. Why don't all those reviewers take their flames to the stories that don't even spell the title of their story correctly and then write the summary in I.M. code. RAAAWWRR! People like that piss me off. Sorry for he rant. I like how you described Harry as being small and a little on the feminine side. I hope he is the bottom in this story. :D Another preference of mine. I was confused by Draco's seemingly docile personality. I hope we (the readers) get to know him better in the coming chapters. What am I saying of course we will! I just suck at reviews if you didn't notice. I recently got flamed for a REVIEW and called a pervert by an author on fanfiction.net in the Mature section no less! So yeah. I've lost my confidence in writing honest reviews with new authors now... Anyways! I hope you can update again soon and I'll be looking forward to the upcoming chapters. Until then! :)

    Hey Listen,
    I like your story so far. I just have a couple of things to say.
    One - Your chapters are a little short, but I've seen worse.
    Two - No offense, but it really piss me off when you interrupt the story for personal commentary. I thought for a second I'd reached the end of this Chapter and was going to the next one when I notice it was just an unnecessary interruption. If you're worried about how the story is going get a beta to check the spelling and grammar and plot and ect.
    Aside from that I really do like your story. Keep trying and go for the beta!!!
