Reviews For O Mine Enemy
Author's Response: I'm sorry-not-sorry!! ;) Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: Yes, they are very human, very flawed. I think they will always have room for growth, but it's fun to get them to the point where they can help each other get there.
Author's Response: It's fun to try to write lots of fanfiction angst while moving things forward so there's an actual plot. I'm glad you're enjoying it. :)
I can imagine how frustrating it was for Harry trying to sleep with Dobby constantly popping in to check on him. And when Dobby thought Harry was dead, and Snape rushed in--well, it's just a matter of time for those two, isn't it? Another thing I liked was when they were talking about Harry almost being sorted into Slytherin, and Snape said that Slytherin does not equal bullying. If I were Harry, I'd have been tempted to make some snarky remark about how Snape has always done such a great job of demonstrating that. But I suppose Snape wouldn't have taken it very well...on the other hand, the truth hurts sometimes. Great conversation when Snape admitted that he had been wrong about Harry--and it's just so wonderfully 'Snape-ish' that in the same breath he's trying to also blame Harry for never correcting him ("All right, I was wrong about you, but it's still all your fault!"). Still, Snape went took a big step forward as far as I'm concerned when he fixed the sharp edges of the mirror and gave it back to Harry. Now I'm off to read Chapter 19. Author's Response: Yes - Snape, Snape, Snape...tsk. That's the thing about him that I have the hardest time reconciling if he were to develop a closer relationship with Harry - the bullying, not only of Harry, but of children in general. I'll definitely need to be addressing that a bit more down the road... Thanks! I had wanted Snape to give Harry an indication that his perceptions were beginning to change, but he's so very closed off and not exactly about to give Harry a big hug, so...blaming Harry for it all seemed the next best thing in Snape-land. ;)
Author's Response: Hehe, if that! Sounds like a self-help relationship book to me: "Best Buds: Guaranteed in 50 Chapters or Your Money Back!"
The discussion with Snape was great, and I really appreciated Snape's frustration and anger that he couldn't hate Harry any longer based on an incorrect reading of his character. The final confrontation brought tears to my eyes as Harry begs for his mirror and Snape makes it safe for him. One error: "relished in " One either "relishes" something or "revels in". Relish in is one of those surprisingly common errors. Author's Response: If you figure out what you think is different about Harry's voice, I would love to hear it. I just write how it is comfortable to me to write, so it's hard for me to judge objectively. I'm glad you like it, though. :) Thank you for the correction! I'll go back and change it asap! See, this is why I love reviews - I always learn new things and new ways to help me with writing!
I love the way you worked in the mirror and Dobby, and Harry's Occlumency practice was so wonderfully written! Your Snape and Harry characterisations are top-notch, and I was holding my breath in the whole sequence with Harry, Snape, and the mirror! But yes, they've at least taken a step in the right direction! Author's Response: Aw! I love LOVE! Especially when it's directed at my story! :) Hehe, nice little crossout there. I wouldn't hold my breath in the near future for true, honest to goodness *both are fully alert and aware of what they are doing* cuddles. But I hope to get you going "aww" a couple times over the next few chapters... ;) |
