I can't wait to read more of this. The first chapter has me hooked!

Hey why are you writing somebody else story. this is word for word from the goldenseraphin or something like that over on fanfiction(dot)net!?!

Great story and I beleive that author gave it up but either started it again or I beleive he gave it to someone else awhile back and they worked on it for awhile too, but then abandoned it also. So are you taking it up now or are you the original author?

Kinsfire replied:

As I stated in the description for the story, I was given specific permission by TheGoldenSeraphim, also known as Liz Harrison. (Her name is fairly common knowledge if you're a member of her group.)

She does not believe that she is in the mental space at the moment to do the story justice, and it's one of my favourites of hers, so she told me what she was contemplating, and gave me the go ahead to work with it.

It really is with the permission of the original author. *grin*

What a terrific start!
Clearly this is an Evil!Dumbles story, which I love, and it promises to be a doozy. I look forward to the rest of the original eight chapters, and then to see you pick up and run with it.

Hmmm I have a few guesses as to where you might take this but I never the less can't wait to see where! I think I did read this beginning sometime in the past but who knows? Cheers!

Another project, cuz? Well, I hope you don't let this interfere with <i>Ties of Blood</i> too much...

I tracked down the original story over on FF.net. Methinks you have a challenge commensurate to your abilities here. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Fantastic start. This is looking to be an interresting story, if I am reading the situation right. Will Harry have any use for parents by the time he knows that he has them?

Thanks for writing.

interesting start.

I love this story. you're going to continue it, right? I can't wait to read what happens next. Is Dumbledore going to be manipulative in this? Are Lily and James going to have more children? I hope Harry accepts his parents easily.

How desperately sad. This is how it was for him. JKR kind of glossed over this part, but this was the reality of it.

Looking good can't wait for more

Whoa, this is looking to be something here, and if things are looking like I think, when the stuff hits the fan, well, it's going to cover a lot of folks, and people will not be happy at all, in fact, this looks like it could be very dark before its all over.

For anyone who's interested here is the url for the original 8 chapters of Wishful Thinking by TheGoldenSeraphim http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2949727/1/

Can I just say how excited I am that you have chosen to pick up this story. I read it when it was originaly published and loved it. I was very disapointed when it was abondoned. I'm eagerly anticipating reading where you take this.

LoggingInSucksAss posted a comment on Friday 18th May 2007 7:17am for Prologue - By My Soul

I'm totally confused here. The ritual seems to imply that Lily and James can't be killed until Harry dies sometime after killing Voldemort... and yet this Voldemort is a limp wristed pansy who uses stupify?

Was Harry marked as an equal? Did Voldemort become a wraith for years? How is it Remus knows Harry is alive but doesn't/can't tell the Potters?

This sounds like an interesting story, but I hope you and the lovely Mrs. are going to proof the beejesus out of the original chapters. This one has some questionable grammar and a couple (possibly?) big plot holes.

Kinsfire replied:

The situation is actually fairly well thought out. I'm picking up the story from another writer who's dropping off the 'net for a while.

There's a vital line missing from what everyone knows about the prophecy. This will actually explain more than you think.

It wasn't a "pansy-ass Voldemort" as you say - it was actually a rather brutally cruel one. "I Stupefied both of you and then MURDERED your baby. Like the rest of the wizarding world, you can do NOTHING to stop me. Live long lives knowing that you are too ineffective to protect even a baby."

And then they live the rest of their lives knowing that their baby was murdered in front of them, for all intents and purposes.

A cunning and cruel Riddle, not a wimpy one.

this looks familiar, I just dont know why ... have you posted this chapter before?

anyway and interesting start, hope to see a new chapter soon :)

Ken Warner posted a comment on Friday 18th May 2007 7:06am for Prologue - By My Soul

now that is an eerie start - and this Dumbledore seems to make Tom riddle look like a choir boy.

hope we won't be on tenterhooks too long

Amamama posted a comment on Friday 18th May 2007 6:03am for Prologue - By My Soul

Ouch. I feel sick, as I wonder why nobody ever did anything. And what about Lily and James? Do they believe he's dead? What happened to Sirius?

So many questions, but I guess I'll just have to wait for the next part... ;-)

mathiasgranger posted a comment on Friday 18th May 2007 5:53am for Prologue - By My Soul

I remember this story well...my question is are you posting the original eight chapters first? You mentioned something about them, but does that mean the first eight will come quickly because they are reposts?

Dumbledore and Snape get some good Potter justice from Lily and James if I remember correctly.

Thanks for writing(posting),
Matt

Kinsfire replied:

Yeah, the first eight chapters will come out pretty quickly, and then slow down. When she gave me permission to take over the story, she sent me her notes thus far, but told me that I didn't have to follow them slavishly.

Actually, by the time I reach the end of her already posted chapters, I'll likely have finished with the ninth chapter, Chapter 8. They'll slow down from there.
