Reviews For The Refiner's Fire

Harry and Casey have certainly become very close very quickly. I am a bit surprised about how much information he is sharing with her. Harry is not generally such a talker. I do love the way you showed him struggling to cope and mourning the loss of Sirius.

Author's Response: I've had it happen in my own life that when someone with a sympathetic/empathetic/non-judgmental personality comes into my life and we get to talking, sometimes it's comfortable to share more deeply with them than with those who know me well. That was the feeling I was thinking of when I wrote that part. I'm glad you like how I dealt with Harry's grief. I was quite annoyed with JKR when she just glossed over it. He's a teenager - things hit teens harder than they do adults in many ways, and he's never had anyone to help him through such times before Casey came into his life. I'm glad you're enjoying the story! Abraxan

Sorry.. but this chapter was really bad. Terrible job with Harry's explanation; and he's bright enough to figure out a better way to explain it. There's no way he's say all that, either; and if he did, it would've been less determined. I think you completely missed his personality. Not to mention Harry would never just lose it like that. Especially not with a girl he barely knew; the only thing less likely than that is if it was Voldemort himself.

I'll keep reading, because your story has some promise, but really, if you messed up Harry's personality so badly, that's a big change, one I'm not sure I can deal with.

Just found your story! it is really good except no Ginny/Harry yet. I know this story is finished so a hope there will be soon.

Author's Response: I have to get some things in place before the story becomes H/G, but it's there and I think you'll enjoy it. Thanks for writing! Abraxan

I'm curious to see where this leaves Ginny.

Author's Response: Keep reading! I think you'll find it an interesting tale. Abraxan

i really enjoyed the memorial service that Harry and Casey had for Sirius, This was written really well and it nearly brought a few tears to my eyes. So moving and it made you feel as if you were there. What is happening between casey and harry is a wonderful thing and its a nice way for him to seek the closure that he urgently needs with regards to sirius' loss. keep up the excellent work.

Author's Response: Thanks! Abraxan

Aww, that was cute! I like how he’s opening up to her. I don’t really like that it isn’t Gin but still I suppose that comes along later and she seems like a nice girl. Harry made me sad with his story but the end of the chapter was really cute.
Again, nothing negative to say and no constructive criticism or anything.
Great job!

Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying it! Yes, Ginny comes later, or this story wouldn't be on the H&G network! Abraxan

that was very touching, and very well written, I enjoyed reading it. It was really sweet. It's different reading Harry getting into a relationship with someone else, as I'm so used to reading Harry/Ginny. But as that it what this site is all about I'm assuming we'll get to that. But this girl, Casey is so sweet. I'm enjoying your story and look forward to reading more; I see now why you won the award of best overall. I think you deserved it.

Author's Response: Thank you very much! Actually, "The Time of Destiny" won the awards - the awards weren't created until Refiner's had been online quite a while and "Destiny" was nearly complete, too. I'm glad you like Casey - and yes, she's a "first girlfriend" helping Harry get ready for Ginny, who, of course, is the love of his life. But he needs to learn about girlfriends a bit before he'll be ready for her - and Ginny's dated lots of boys before she ever gets together with Harry - Harry deserves at least SOME opportunities to go out with other girls! :-) Glad you're enjoying my story! Abraxan

A great chapter, and again well written. Thanks for a great read.

Author's Response: Thanks!

Well, Casey seems like a real sweetheart. Harry needs someone to help him grieve. As this is a Harry/ Ginny website and you have them listed as one of the ships in the summary, I know that will come in time. Why do I think things probably don't bode well for Casey? More grief for Harry? I guess they could break up, but Harry isn't fickle in his affections. I'll see soon enough.

Author's Response: Yup, you nailed every point right on its head! Well spotted! Abraxan

I love this chapter...and it is very well written i think.. of course there is a problem Casey is not Ginny (pouts) lol

Author's Response: Casey is a very nice person in her own right! And Harry needs to learn HOW to be a boyfriend before he gets with Ginny, who already knows how to be a girlfriend (having had several boyfriends by now). :-) Keep reading! Abraxan

Very sweet! The whole jumbled explanations were really fun to read - now that Harry has been immersed in the Wizarding world for so long, to come back and have to explain it in Muggle terms has to be a challenge! As far as highlighting - I meant to say I noticed it in the Featured Story box on Wizard Tales. And now I'm glad to be able to read it here. Sorry for the confusion! Thanks!

Author's Response: Oh, thanks for the explanation! I don't browse the fic sites myself, too busy trying to get my fic written and online in a timely manner! So when folks FAMILIAR with the sites refer to stuff like that, I'm lost! heehee. Glad you liked the chapter! Thanks for writing!

Abraxan Your story is great. Since last night i have been reading it of yahoo website you left and i have found it to be enjoyable. I am currently half way. When the summer tragedy struck it made me cry at the church. I don't want to ruin it for anyone so i'll leave it here as it is. I found chapter to be great and i like your idea about those mosemiqs harry makes. Is there a sequal at all if there is just leave the name of it and i'll find it on yahoo if its there. Take care and good luck. Mickyblueeyes.

Author 's Response: Hi, Mickey - the sequel is "The Time of Destiny" and is on the same site where you found Refiner's. I just uploaded chapter 7 today. The Yahoo group gets chapters a day before any other site where my stories are listed. Refiner's is complete on the Yahoo group (and nearly all of the other sites -- I've just recently added this site and another to the places where it's listed). I'm glad you're enjoying it, and thanks for reviewing! You're welcome to review on the Yahoo group -- we have a wild bunch of elves over there and have a lot of fun. If you see a review marked "ToD" don't read it if you don't want to be spoiled -- that will be for the sequel, not Refiner's. Thanks for writing! Abraxan
