Title: Vis Insita: Interval
I have been remiss in not providing enough reviews. I even lost this story for a while. Ugh! I have not listed you among my "Favorite Authors" so I should not fall into that situation again. This is a superb story and I am looking forward to its continuation. Scott is a complex character, and he has grown favorably upon me. I love Lila and hope she is featured more fully in Vis Insita. I love your take on Ginny and look forward to her role as the saga continues. Thank you for sharing your prodigious talent with us!
Author's Response: Thanks for the kind review. I'm glad Scott grew on you as a character. As for Lila, she does take a larger role in Vis Insita, especially in recent chapters, so I hope you'll enjoy those.

Title: Vis Insita: Interval
Fine story, well told. Scott does have a good side but he's never going to win any protagonist popularity contests. Kylie is an intriguing side story - be interesting to see how she fits into the sequel. I mean, it's unthinkable that she be abandoned.
Just looking ahead to the sequel, both your summaries are dreadful - in the sense of not being real summaries that will attract the interest of readers. I stumbled across this by chance because it was newly updated and completed around one of the months when I visit here. I'm surey I've probably skipped over it several times over at FFN because the 'summary' gives me no clue as to what the story is about. I recommend you change them both if you want to attract more readers.
I'm pleased Ginny is being drawn into your DH Take 2. I did it in my Noble Spirit too because the character is important and needs more air time.
Looking forward to continuing into the sequel probably tomorrow....
My 9 rating below is really for the whole story.
- Hip
Author's Response: "Fine story, well told. Scott does have a good side but he's never going to win any protagonist popularity contests." Ha. Interesting timing, as you said this not long after I received a review at FFN describing how Scott is the reviewer's favorite character. Scott is generally quite popular with my long time readers, but not everyone appreciates his sense of humor in the same way, I'm aware. "Kylie is an intriguing side story - be interesting to see how she fits into the sequel. I mean, it's unthinkable that she be abandoned." You think? I'd hesitate to classify her involvement in TTM as having any kind of story at all, she has only a handful of lines and shows up sporadically, and has no real character arc to speak of. I've always found it interesting how many readers liked her, regardless of those facts. "Just looking ahead to the sequel, both your summaries are dreadful - in the sense of not being real summaries that will attract the interest of readers. I stumbled across this by chance because it was newly updated and completed around one of the months when I visit here.

When originally posted, TTM had a complete and fairly descriptive summary, with an even longer version I used at other sites. It was gradually shortened over time, until it became quite vague. It never seemed to change how many readers I attracted; whether it stated there were OCs or not, most people stop reading when Scott shows up in the first chapter. They've been conditioned to do so by countless other fanfictions with prominent OCs, and I can't change that. It was only recently I gave up trying to sell TTM to a larger audience and gave it a summary that matched the one for Vis Insita. Honestly, I think the physics-based summaries do a better job of bringing in the sort of curious readers who are more willing to give a story with OCs a shot. And ultimately, like I said, I've given up trying to make this anything but a cult story. If there's a summary that will make it more palatable to mainstream fanfiction tastes, I don't know how to write it.

Great story. This is completely different from anything else I have read on this site. I enjoyed the characters, including those of your invention. It was wonderful to be able to read a story straight through, though I admit I was exhausted, emotionally drained by the end.
Author's Response: I was aiming for something different, and I'm glad I delivered. It's always gratifying to hear when someone enjoyed the story.

A pleasant if whimsical tale, kinda like Ferris Bueller meets Guardians of the Galaxies.
Author's Response: That's possibly the strangest description of my story that I've heard. I can't say that I see the comparison, exactly, but as long as you enjoyed it then I'm content enough.

Soo... I don't know how to begin this review, because this story is so HUGE and AWESOME it's like, no review can effectively match up to it. First, i appreciate the speed of the uploads, there is nothing better than being able to read a fic in it's entirety in one sitting (a rare feat which i most certainly took advantage of). A side effect of this was that i was unable/unwilling to stop and review each chapter, for that, i'm sorry. Moving on to the story it was just an amazing read- i loved that you stuck to the story line even while making significant deviations. I never felt lost or confused at the changing POVs and you were ale to really capture the essence of each character in these POVs (Harry was missing a lot in the first few chapters but you more than made up for it later on). Your OCs Scott and Lila were great and funny and interesting and sympathetic and just really memorable. I loved the progression of the relationship between Harry and Scott and i can't wait for their relationship to grow even further. I love that at the end of this, there is still the excitement of wondering what would happen in the next book even though i'm pretty sure you'll probably stick to Canon like you did here. Probably the only criticism i could give is that i wish there was more Harry and especially Ginny POVs but that's just me being a petulant Harry/Ginny loving child. I really loved this I'm really looking forward to the next book! Thanks for your hard work!
Author's Response: "Soo... I don't know how to begin this review, because this story is so HUGE and AWESOME it's like, no review can effectively match up to it." Kind of you to say. "First, i appreciate the speed of the uploads, there is nothing better than being able to read a fic in it's entirety in one sitting (a rare feat which i most certainly took advantage of)." This story was already completed (and even revised) quite some time ago. Rather than space it out unnecessarily, I decided it would be best to get any new readers caught up and then move on to the in-progress sequel. "Your OCs Scott and Lila were great and funny and interesting and sympathetic and just really memorable." I consider that the greatest praise of all, considering how fandom generally views OCs. As for Harry and Ginny, there's a great deal more focus on them in the sequel, as I imagine you've already discovered. Thank you so much for your encouragement and kind words.
