Reply to OrionHR: There's a list in the Files section on Anne's YahooGroup, groups.yahoo.com/group/livingwithdanger, under Information.

Question for Anne: Why don't you mention the YahooGroup on fanficauthors?

I've started a promise to myself that I will at least review the story, if not each chapter. So my review for Dealing with Danger...

A continued good job on severely twisting the HP universe. I like how you tell the story. I am eager to see the next (and final) volume in your series.

I can't directly list any cons in your work but I usually need a couple of read-throughs to catch mistakes and such. But one thing I do have is with the pendant jewels. Do we know how many are left for each person? I've found it hard to keep count of the gems that have been used. Could we get some kind of breakdown on this?

Other than that, great job with the writing.

This is better than I expected; I felt real trepidation at continuing to read your story. I'm glad you aren't setting up a repeat for 'every canon problem JKR ever invented', but it still felt like you are setting up for a lot of heavy, drawn-out angst, and I hate that with a passion. Seeing the character(s) I identify with continually getting tormented and hammered down is not what I need in a story. My own 'Way of the Author' is to put new spins on old things as well, but recycling old angst in a new way is just going to give me the same old feelings of depression, which isn't any good.
I liked and was pleasantly surprised by Harry being able to smell their emotions and deduce their motivations from that. I only hope that it will not remain an insignificant event, but will have repercussions and eventually lead to a somewhat better understanding between Harry and the Dursleys, at least Petunia and Dudley.

There's still a lot of things I hated about book five in canon. Many of them are still possible to step right into again, and right now I don't trust you to avoid at least a majority of these things, which I see as pitfalls. For God's sake, at least get Harry out of that inane 'push away all your friends so they won't get hurt' mindset. Why you felt the need to revisit that plot point which is a staple of all the bad fifth year angst fics out there, I'll never know. Well, at least you've given me some hope that things might not turn out as bleak as the last chapters had made it appear.
