Research prior to writing a story - whether original or a fic - is at least as important as the writing itself, and checking the right currency for the location should really be considered an absolute minimum. Characterisation was fairly variable; while the Big Four were fairly accurate, Luna felt extremely strange and very different from her canon persona. Other than that, there were only a few bits that felt odd generally, like five steaks for a whole picnic - even if they do feed twenty people each, which they certainly won't - or "hamburger" being used to mean the raw mince. Sorry to complain so much; I hope you take my feedback in the spirit it's meant, as an aid to improving your writing. The story was far too amusing to be marred by sloppy writing, and it deserves an update once you've got some more practice in.

Reviewer: star dust Anonymous Date: 2005.11.02 - 02:50AM Title: Pointless Arguments and a Lovesick Picnic That was really cool! A while ago I read another story where they had a muggle picnic. Was that what the challenge was? That bit at the end was really sweet and Harry giving the girl all those eggs was sweet too.

Happy Writing! */rhyanne Reviewer: Zelthian Signed Date: 2005.04.25 - 09:50PM Title: Pointless Arguments and a Lovesick Picnic Reviewed for the contest. I like the "give Harry away" bit. Good luck! Reviewer: amblewat Signed Date: 2005.04.21 - 07:52AM Title: Pointless Arguments and a Lovesick Picnic That was well done good luck! Reviewer: KikiDeeDee Anonymous Date: 2005.04.16 - 02:25PM Title: Pointless Arguments and a Lovesick Picnic Interesting submission, different characterisations of the usually shadowed characters.
Good luck.
Kiki Reviewer: Sabine Strohem Signed Date: 2005.04.14 - 07:59PM Title: Pointless Arguments and a Lovesick Picnic Very cute--I liked the H/G dilemma, sweet and original. Although, I have to say, my favorite part HAD to be the Creevey brothers brainstorming;the butterfly-catching and who-can-take-the-best-picture-of-harry were hilarious contest ideas!
Good luck in the challenge!
-SS Reviewer: xaphania Anonymous Date: 2005.04.11 - 08:32AM Title: Pointless Arguments and a Lovesick Picnic Excellent story! I LOVED your characterisations of Dennis and Colin, especially the recurring butterfly game! I also really liked Luna's part in the story: rather random, but worked really well. The Harry/Ginny fluff was lovely as well! Good luck in the competition! Reviewer: chocolatePrincess Signed Date: 2005.04.10 - 08:20PM Title: Pointless Arguments and a Lovesick Picnic I liked it!!!
I think the whole Idea was awsome nevermind the mistakes...I'm pretty sure i got tons of them in my story too!!!
I liked how you used Luna in the story line, she seemed a bit out of charactor at some points but you made it work for her...
Reviewer: Jim McGuffin Signed Date: 2005.04.10 - 01:20PM Title: Pointless Arguments and a Lovesick Picnic This is the longest fic submitted to the challenge thus far, and I enjoyed every moment of it.
I laughed at how Ron was afraid to touch the raw food. And Luna was great in the story, from making Hermione jealous to checking the weather. It makes sense that predicting the weather would be under Divination. In fact, come to think of it, Luna sounds like exactly the type of witch who would be interested in a subject like Divination.
A few nitpicking notes:
- Easter is always on a Sunday, not Saturday. Don't worry, you can just say that it is actually a pre-Easter picnic.
- You state that Harry's classes ended at 3:30 on Good Friday, but actually, the school should be closed for Easter holidays (spring break to us Americans).
- Susan Bones, not Sarah.
Sorry if I sound harsh there, but in the end, the good storyline outweighed the errors by far. I wish you luck in the challenge! | |||||||
