It will be interesting to see where this story goes. I like the believable way you are writing this, just want to see more.

On a "Death By Inaction" trial or lawsuit: I hate to say it, but the Ministry (especially under Cornelius Fudge!) is duplicitous enough to dare to bring such a case against Harry Potter. *Never mind* that he has been both physically and mentally abused by the Dursleys. "Never mind" that the Dursleys want nothing to do with him, except as a source of funds. "Never mind" that Harry has been barred from being allowed to physically protect the Dursleys from magical threats (though the primary agent for that is Albus Dumbledore, even the Supreme Mugwump of the ICW and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot couldn't have gotten away with it without help). There are those within the Ministry that could indeed argue their belief in seeking Harry Potter liable for death-by-inaction of the Dursleys WITH A STRAIGHT FACE. (Worse for us, the same attitude is more prevalent among Muggles than in the Potterverses. See the civil trials of Orenthal James Simpson and Robert Anson Blake: two men that were found civilly liable for deaths that they were criminally acquitted of.)

I read a few of your stories and I've noticed a trend, harry being harsh on himself, Ravenclaws Heir, and the fact that he is a viking in the sack, and instead of being redundent you seem to be able to mix it up enough to be interesting.

Bloody Good Job!!!

Why Self-Mutilating!Harry: Harry has been subject to *years* of abuse by the Dursleys (both physical and mental); in fact, over a decade of it. They are, most importantly, the ONLY family he has known for over half his life (he didn't meet the Weasleys until he was eleven). The results of such an upbringing are often MUCH worse than mere self-mutilation (how Harry avoided becoming another Tom Riddle is, honestly, quite magical in and of itself), *especially* among Muggles (for evidence, read the Local News section of any newspaper). Perhaps the reason it is so hard to comprehend is because such cruelty is beyond comprehension for most of us; however, they are NOT beyond comprehension for ME. (Not because I've been through it to the degree that Harry has, but I have seen enough of that sort of abuse that I can, to a greater extent than even I feel comfortable with, identify with Harry Potter's Life Amongst The Dursleys.) His self-worth is low to non-existent, he's grieving the death of the closest thing he has had to a father (worse, he thinks that HE is to blame for it!); yet, time after time, he is held up to the standard that even an Albus Dumbledore would have trouble meeting by the majority of the wizarding society of which he is a part (while he himself is certain that status is wholly undeserved, *despite* the decidedly heroic and epic nature of his accomplishments to date). Throw in the fact that he has NOT had time to properly grieve (or even have a proper childhood), and you dare ask why he self-mutilates?

Sorry, that last one was me. I thought I had logged in.

An interesting idea. Yet I find the self-loathing Harry a bit heavy-handed. Perhaps too much a reprise of Family Matters, which I read some time ago on Portkey. Certainly, Harry's justified in some harsh recriminations with Dumbledore, no quarrel there. I just find his self-image out of character (there's no justification in canon, even OOTP) and unsympathetic. I'll read more chapters of this, to see where you are going, but I can't help feeling that you could do better with Harry's character.

...wow!!!

That's a pretty wild chapter, and incredibly good, although I don't know what to say beyond that. I just wanted to let you know that was really good, and I can't wait until you update this (as well as any other story you're writing).

Does Harry have a total accounting over who's been dipping in his accounts? Hmm, a three some involving Harry and two girls. I do hope that he has some extra-strength pepper up potion or what not. Who else will Harry have sex with? More Snape bashing till he grows up and treats Harry as his own person.

Oh my, that was a rather hot little scene.

I find self-mutilating!Harry a little hard to believe, but the rest of it is very nice reading.

You are a great writer, but its about time you came up with something original. All of your stories are basically the same thing. A disgustingly depressed Harry who gets over his self pity by fucking a harem of girls. You need to come up with something new and stop using what appears to be a template for everything you write. I'm sorry for being harsh, but your to good of a writer to waste your talents on this crap.

Another chapter on par with your usual quality.

But I must admit, I'm starting to tire of these in some ways. It feels like you've written abused confused Harry gets many hot chicks lusting for him very similarly to this. Just the names of the female there to console him changes. Whether it's Hermione and the Patil twins, or Hermione and Tonks, or Luna, Hermione, Susan, and Pansy, or Hermione, Ginny, Tonks, and Mom, or even just Hermione (with some assistance from Hermy's mom)... it's beginning to just feel formulaic and I'm losing what little enthusiasm I had for so much rape/hurt/abuse Harry turned emotional coming out party.

No real complaints it seems, but I think this is why "Death isn't all it's cracked up to be" stands out so much among your fics. You've got a fun happy Harry in that one. Not an abused, "happiest moment of my life" Harry. So many of these, which are all held to a certain standard of quality, and it's very similar to Tim/Jeco writing Harry/Someone and making the relationships all seem so similar (though admittedly more recently, this isn't so much the case).

It felt inevitable and forced that oh yeah, hermy's falling in love with Mom-statue and Tonks and Ginny, and hey, Tonk is falling in love with Hermione, mom-statue, and she thinks ginny too. I'm all for amazing coincidences and convenience, and having one of the girls against the harem/sharing stuff would just add too much pain to an emotionally brittle Harry (his overreactions are also becoming formulaic here). More angst isn't what I'm looking for at all, but some of these stories just seem to feel routine.

Like Tim, that routine is still highly enjoyable and deserving of accolades, but I'd like to see an emotionally stronger Harry, or maybe just something different.

Too early to tell what's up with your Azkaban post-HBP story, but that certainly seems to break from the "One Summer, Father's Image, Phoenix's Ashes, Family Matters, Three for All, Unnamed Story" sort of generic 'unworthy harry introductory romance' blueprint (where Harry tries to push them away, doubts he's good enough, worth their time, etc...).

Course, what do I know? I despise all of those bits dealing with emotions, or romance, or love, so maybe I'm just looking for something to complain about.

Great Chapter! Glad to see something new here. :-) Keep up the good work and update again soon.

Well damn! This came out of left field, I had to go back and reread the end of the last chapter to remind myself were this was. An interesting chapter, though I'm curious to see how the Dursley's are going to get on at this point, I expect the girls to start doing bad things to them at every opprotunity. Of course, I could even see Harry taunting them a bit, "Oh yes Uncle, hit me, or throw me out, do your level best to destroy the protections and bring Voldemort here to murder your family." Yes, I know it was said in this chapter, but I'd like to see Harry rub their noses in it, that they are only safe by his sufferance and a desire to stay out of jail. Well, I imagine that Tonks, Ginny, and Lily are going to be a) a little jealous (Hermione got first shot and they haven't had a chance YET) b) wanting a complete report for comparision when they get their chances. Great work as usual, thank you.
