Congrats on finishing your first magnum opus! This was one of my favorites from the beginning. Really strong story idea!

Your last author's note led to a question for me. You said that this was the first story you started, but "Witness Protection" was posted first. Was that story inspired by this one, or are they related in any way? They both have the theme of partially taking place in America. It definitely gives you an established style, which makes me wonder if you'll take that style to the next level or completely change course with your next story.

Thanks for sharing a really good story.

Author's Response: Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you enjoyed it. In answer to your question, "Paintball Wizard" was the first story I started writing, and, because of that, holds a special place for me. As I wrote in the author's note, I originally had not planned to ever post the story, but about one year ago, I changed my mind. Because it was special, I felt like I wanted to practice posting with some shorter stories first to become familiar with the process and to also see how my stories would be received. My thinking was, if my shorter stories aren't liked, then I don't want to spend all the time posting "Paintball Wizard." So I decided to wade in to the idea of posting my stories, starting with the one-shot, "Strength," and then the multi-chapter "Witness Protection." Both stories received enough positive reviews that I decided to move forward with "Paintball Wizard." As to the America theme in both of my chapter stories, I remember hearing in an English class in junior high the advice "Write what you know." As an American myself, I am much more comfortable describing my own culture, so that's what I've done. My idea for my next long story is also based in America, so hopefully you like that part of my style.

I restarted this when chapter 58 was posted, I had no idea I'd be reading the complete story all in one go. Excellent plot, writing, characterisation and flow, I simply loved it. I look forward to future work either in this universe or some other.

Author's Response: Wow! I can't imagine reading it all at once, and I happen to really like the story myself (surprise, surprise). Thanks for your encouragement; I hope you like my future work as much as this one.

Thanks for sharing this great story with us. There have been a lot of alt universe stories -- most of them, I got through a couple of chapters and quit. This one has kept me going to the end.

Best wishes on any future endeavors -- I'll be watching for your work.

Thankyou for a wonderful story. You have finished it off well.
This has been one of my favourite stories and have looked forward to the validation of the chapters to catch up with what had happened next.
As for missing moments...maybe one could be of when Harry was sent to America as a baby and the reaction of the Peltons. Besides this, there are a lot of moments through the entire story. Good luck with any and all you write in the future.

A nice end to a great story. Loved it. I remember when I started reading thinking I wouldn't like it, sorry just the Paintball angle I guess.
I was wrong! Wonderful. Thanks

PS Missing moments galore just in the epilogue.

Congratulations on completing your story. It can take a lot of work and dedication to complete a novel lenght story like this so kudos to you for finishing.

That said, this was a wonderful end to an excellent story! I always enjoy seeing Harry and Ginny having a happy life after everything they've gone through. I really enjoyed the whole story, too. It was creative and original and well written from beginning to end. I hope we see more stories from you in the future.
