    While thinking about what to write I somehow got the idea to write a Harry Potter story in Shakesperean style. I was hoping you could give some comments about how you liked the style (since the scene is so short, the story is rather unimportant for now). The current beta count is zero, so I hope you can forgive some errors and/or point them out to me.

    That...was brilliance. I don't think I've ever seen something like this done before. Nicely done, I am looking forward to seeing some more of this. It actually makes me think....good job. :)

    Wow. I honestly enjoyed that. You wrote something that made my inner theatre kid squee. Which hasn't happened for a couple of months now. It was brilliant.

    Wow, all this nice critcism (thanks, btw) made me churn out the next scene. I am, however, a bit unsure about it, so please tell me if the style fits the first scene. At least there is a sonnet included.

    tridentwatch: I was thinking about maybe writing a normal story that encompasses the plot of this play, but I'm not sure. Same about a commented version that explains certain things. If you really want, I could send you an explanation for the scene(s), but I'd rather not.
    Thoughts about that, anyone?

    I really enjoyed reading this. It's a great piece of writing. I've not seen this done before, and to be honest I don't think many people could do it so well. Please continue, I look forward to reading more.

    Again, that was amazing. It's truly well done and I enjoy reading it. I liked that it was Ron planning to help him out. Good job.

    Again, due to all the praise heaped upon me, the next scene has emerged. 350 words I'm contend with, other than the 1000 words I have of scene 4 which I'm unsure about because it has become more of a rhyme-orgy than anything else. i'm not quite sure what to do about it, maybe I'll just post it as it is and let you be the judge.

    But for now, I hope scene III is to your satisfaction

    Since I'm currently busy with exams I've decided to post this version of scene IV which I do not plan on using. But since it's already been written, I'd like to know what you think about it in contrast to the other scenes.

    I have to say, this is a wonderful mastery of the iambic pentameter.


    I read this whole thing aloud with a British accent it was so good!

    I can't wait for the next scene!

    So you would prefer this style over the other?
    As a contrast, these will most probably be the first lines of the new scene IV, notably without any rhymes;
    This question goes to all others as well

    Again, I must say that I really enjoy this, it's truly an original.

    Since you seemed to like the fourth scene, I've decided to keep it. I've written the closing lines for it and added them to the scene (the last 16 lines).

    On a side note, I hate my computer. Because of a faulty power cord for a hdd, I've fucked up two of my three hds, loosing about 300 gig of data. Including the backups I made on one of those disks. :headshot:

    Thus, all hail data recovery programs, giving me back my scene overview, pretty much the second most important of all data that I lost. [​IMG][​IMG] (But don't hail that much, much of it is scambled and many things unusable. But it's better than nothing.)

    So, now with 300 gig of entertainment value (and storage space :() less, I guess I'll get back to writing soon.
