Negatives by Sinope

Title: Negatives
Author: Sinope
Rating: PG-13
Story Link: http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/sinope/negatives01a.html
Author’s Livejournal: [info]eponis
Author’s summary: A short ficlet. Harry is in Edinburgh and drunk, he hates Snape, and he tries to explain why. Or why not, as the case may be.
Length: short


Reviewer: [info]painless_j

The fic has the most amazing combination of points of view. I had to read it several times to enjoy it properly and give it justice.

This story is a perfect illustration of the fact that narrator and POV aren’t the same thing. Besides, here it’s the 2nd person. Besides, it’s mostly a monologue-type narration. Aren’t you intrigued yet?

But if it were only for the writing techniques, I wouldn’t waste time urging you to read it. Here you can see an example of how such a complicated device makes a really good story. It creates a unique mood and atmosphere and makes the scene it describes nearly palpable.
