  All right! Paratime Harry! Does '94' refer to the parallel-number or the year-of-emergence? Either way, this looks primising. The manner in which he handled Myrtle implies much experience. Well done. The overall tone of his approach is suggestive of DrT's later works, which isn't a bad thing: Harry the thinker. I've already added this tale to my fetcher list. Keep em coming!

  Author's response

  The XCIV in this case refers to the parallel number, though Harry doesn't know that (for reasons which will come out later in the fic, in a section I've not yet written).
  
  I'm not sure I'm familiar with DrT, though the name is familiar - I may have read his (or her?) stuff without knowing it.
  
  (Being Harry Potter is currently at seven chapters, but I'm having a bit of an issue with ficwad. If you want to check out the other chapters, look for the same title or author at tthfanfic.org.)
  
  And thank you for being my first reviewer here! Fast response!

  I'm a he! Good story so far; liked how you treated Dobby and Myrtle/
  
  PS -- my fics are here and on fiction alley

  Author's response

  Strangely enough, I still feel guilty for having Harry yell at Dobby like that. Dobby will be making more showings in later chapters, as will Winky. As for Myrtle, I'm not sure if she'll show up again or not. That whole chapter was originally supposed to be a short that led into the shopping, but it kinda got away from me, if you know what I mean. Myrtle also usually ends up with a rough time of it. I figured it'd be nice to have her happy for once.
  
  As for your fics, I'm almost certain I've read some of them before. Some of the titles/summaries are very familiar to me. I do have to admit to some jealousy as to how prolific you are. I follow a couple of authors like that, and end up wondering how they find the time! (Of course, the fact that I've mostly only been writing the last six months or so kinda offsets that!)

  very clever. myrtle's request was unique and something i can see her doing...

  Author's response

  The kiss a cute boy thing? Yep, I couldn't not do that, knowing Myrtle. As for clever, well, Myrtle was a Ravenclaw, after all. ;-)
