Site Administrator Myr Posted November 11, 2003 Site Administrator Posted November 11, 2003 This was a recent review for Parliament of Dreams Honest thoughts and comments please From: Bobo() Myr, I have to say that I am not impressed. I think you have a lot of talent with comedy (some scenes were absolutely hysterical), but I feel that you compromised characterization for violence and pornography. I take issue with the fact that almost every character in the fic is gay, and moreover they are all fairly one dimensional. All they do is beat each other up and have sex. Is there even a scene where a stretcher or a bed is not involved? Where's the plot? Where's the angst? Where's the feeling? Further, in your fic, Draco is stripped of his traditional egocentric Malfoy identity and becomes a watered down version of Harry (which even you know is not accurate). It would have been a better fic if he ended up with Harry even though he maintained his traditional Draco Malfoy characterization that J.K. Rowling attributed to him. Anyway, I am sure you will delete this review, but I wanted to share with you my honest thoughts because people who vomit back mindless praise are not helping you make your story better. You have a lot of potential, and if you focused more on characterization and plot you would probably grow as an author. Good luck with the rest of the story.
