Chapter 10 of Hellblazer: Hogwarts is now up at the Pit. I shall have to do a bit of editing to spiff it up for Fiction Alley, though.

For reference's sake, since it's been a dog's age since I updated, here are links to all ten chapters so far.

Chapter 1: Woke Up This Morning
Chapter 2: It's Probably Me
Chapter 3: And Hope That This Is Just Imagination
Chapter 4: I'm Just Standing Here Selling
Chapter 5: Devil And The Deep Blue Sea Behind Me
Chapter 6: In Dreams Begin Responsibilities
Chapter 7: The Meaning Of Things As They Appear To The Others
Chapter 8: All My Scars Are On The Inside
Chapter 9: Lay My Head On The Surgeon's Table

And:

Chapter 10: Who'd Watch For Me


Thank you for your patience. I will work on the next chapter next; Who Ya GOnna Owl? can wait until after that's done.

*boogies down*

You know, I really need to read this through from the beginning again.

[batyatoon]

ME TOO.

*resolves to do so*

Great stuff, as usual.

One thing that I'm looking for is for Constantine to do something bad. Talking this over with Naomi, she pointed out that most of the Constantine she's seen has been the Neil Gaiman Constantine, who is somewhat gentler than the John Constantine of other authors, but one Constantine image that sticks in my mind is where he takes a chainsaw to Gabriel's wings -- Ennis' Constantine isn't nearly as nice as Gaiman's.

So, in conclusion, I'm enjoying what you're writing; it's got the characters and the world done right. But I'd love to see Constantine really screw someone over. Maybe Dumbledore, if he could manage it without interfering with his chance at getting back home. Because Dumbledore is really kind of a dick.

Actually, to a greater extent it's been the Warren Ellis Constantine- I only know the Gaiman version from the Books of Magic original miniseries, and I haven't actually touched my copy of that in months on end. I have periodically pulled out my copy of the Haunted TPB and reread it. Granted, John is more of a bastard there than in what I've written so far, but Ellis' bastard is less generically horrible and more horrible towards people who really bloody deserve it.

But you're quite right; he needs to be more horrible, and soon. Beyond merely using an Unforgivable in front of the students, which I believe I'll have him do next chapter. I shall ponder this.

Mweeheehee.

I'm really, really liking the cheerful kraken.

[mayatawi.livejournal.com]

Oh, glee and more glee. This just gets better.

[charliesmum.livejournal.com]

Yay!!!

Lovely. Thank you.

[mephron]

Hooray!

[zwol.livejournal.com]

Dude. The interactions with the students are awesome.

[issen4.livejournal.com]

Enjoying the newest part very much!

[tundra-no-caps.livejournal.com]

Somehow I missed #9!

[blythely.livejournal.com]

I was recced this by bexone after bemoaning the lack of fic using the huge potential for interesting crossover between Constantine's world and Hogwarts. I just read all ten parts and am riveted! Your character voices are strong and unique and hilariously on the mark, and you're keeping the pace and plotting tight and interesting.

So many lines have made me laugh in John's field notes; they're awesome, and the last part was especially great, introducing the students. Can't wait to read more, and thank you for the effort and care you're putting into two of my favourite universes! I do hope we get to see Tim and YoYo at some point.

[karenhealey.livejournal.com]

Oh, this was fantastic. I was recced here by blythe, and I'm grateful to her, but SO grateful to YOU.

I love John's field notes, and the Slytherin!interaction, and the part where John hasn't heard of Harry, and the I-hate-school-not-stufy and oh, *everything*.

But mostly that John has seen worse things Voldemort, and stuck them in the face with a broken bottle. Way to have perspective, John!

[phoenixw.livejournal.com]

Arrived via blythely and what a delightful read you are producing here! I'm looking forward to reading more. Nice characterisation!

[grey-bard.livejournal.com]

John is back! I've long been a Hellblazer fan, and this is a really fun story.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yes, there are still readers following this and hoping for more! ^_^

*notes that The Dark Arts stopped at Chapter 9, and wonders if this was intentional or an oversight*

[camwyn]

Oversight. Never did get around to uploading the other stuff to that website.

[acid-mousie.livejournal.com]

oooh! pretty. please write more? i love the idea of hellblazer/harry potter crossover. and harry being tim's lookalikey.

[czol.livejournal.com]

I have just discovered this story & it is FANTASTIC! You MUST continue this! Pretty please!

wonderful wonderful wonderful

[daanae.livejournal.com]

please, please tell me that there's more of this coming? in the meantime, may i friend you and rec this? it's too perfect. really.

(you've also prompted me to pick up my comics again. bugger.)

[(Anonymous)]

I do hope there's going to be more of this before too much longer. I do love this story! I rec it whenever I get the chance, and I think most of the people I rec it to also want more.

I love my curiousity and short attention span. It leads the the best things.

I was reading archives of pottersues, you said something amusing, someone said they put you on metaquotes, I cecked there to see other peoples comments on it because I'm nosy like that, you mentioned the "THINGS I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DO ANY MORE AT HOGWARTS," which I checked, found hilarious, and looked in your memories section for more. The moment ff.n gets back to normal, I am checking out chapter ten.

So far, I LOVE this story. Granted, I had never heard of John Constantine until a few hours ago, the only things I know about the comic are from that bit I skimmed at Wikipedia, and I am currently imagining Dirk Gently in his place to make up for my lack of knowledge, but I love it.

*adds to memories as a reminder to check later*

[sarekofvulcan.livejournal.com]

So, any hope of getting chapter 11 any time soon, or has this story pretty well played itself out?

[phoenix-hawk.livejournal.com]

Thank you for writing and sharing this. I enjoyed it greatly.

re: Hellblazer: Hogswart

[hohaiyee.livejournal.com]

Is there more of this somewhere?

[prettyarbitrary.livejournal.com]

hohaiyee brought me over here by reccing this on rakeatthegates. I suppose that after four years, there's not much chance of seeing more, but I loved it anyway! So much was beautiful, but the way he carves his way through Hogsmeade with that terrifying smile is my favorite thing of all.

[camwyn]

I'm glad you guys enjoy it, but... yeah. I worked on this when I was at a job that didn't pay well and was stuck living with my parents, and had a lot more general stress and rage in my daily life than I do now. It's hard to muster the anger necessary to write John properly these days, alas.

[prettyarbitrary.livejournal.com]

Hah! Well, I can't argue with that. :) I'm glad I found it, though, because it led me to your blog, which is very interesting reading. Would you mind if I friend you?

[camwyn]

Go right ahead! I haven't written as much lately as I'd like, but you're welcome to stick around until it gets better.
