Reviews For Emerald Eyes
Author's Response: Thank you! Thanks for letting me know you're reading and enjoying :)
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're enjoying my story!! I, uh, haven't started on the next chapter yet... Sorry. The busy (and very real) life has been holding me hostage, unfortunately. But I *do* have plans to begin writing soon! And I usually try not to let more than two weeks go by between updates ;) If you like reading about Sirius and Harry, I have another story that's about 25 chapters in over at ff.net. The link is in my profile. Thanks so much for your reading, reviewing, and your contageous enthusiasm. :) Makes me feel like getting my butt in gear and typing tonight!
Author's Response: Your review really made me smile. It was exactly what I needed tonight. Thanks so much for reading my latest chapter and letting me know what you thought!
But I had fruit! favorite part in the entire chapter. Author's Response: Silent communication is definitely what went on in this chapter! LOL. Good thing Harry picked up on it, I guess... ;) Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know what you thought!
Author's Response: So glad you liked it! :) Thanks for letting me know!
The scene at dinner was pretty funny. I liked how everyone was so annoyed at Lockhart, and the stupid git just kept on talking obliviously. Sounds so cannon, lol. I also liked the interaction between Snape and Harry over the fruit, sounds a lot like a parent trying to get their kid to eat more healthily and the kid being all reluctant. I liked the talk between Dumbledore and Snape as well, it shows that the characters have their flaws and times when they are feeling down, and Snape seemed to appreciate the talk. Can't wait for more chapters! They are getting closer and closer to facing the Chamber, it's kind of making me anxious ^^. Author's Response: Thanks, Beth! The Chamber will appear in the next (and final) chapter. And the epilogue will be more of a few-months-down-the-road sort of thing. I hope it works out, as I've never written an epilogue before... *chews nails*
Author's Response: Thank you!! I will :)
"eyes raking over the peculiar emotion that seemed to slither about his professor’s face without ever declaring itself."--this is such beautiful imagery . It really captures what's happening so well. I love how you have lines like this. I absolutely adored the whole fruit/sweet roll thing. It is so 12 year old-ish. And it's a wonder Snape doesn't even realize how fatherly he is acting toward Harry. But at least, Harry ate the fruit. So, proud, Harry... I love your Lockhart and Trelawny. I was just picturing the two actors in the movie; it was that well done. Perfect. And I am so excited that Snape knows to go hunting in the bathroom. YAY! I already told you, but it's seroiusly like watching a really good movie. I'm on the edge of my seat here! Your Dumbledore/Snape convo was so beautiful and heart-wrenching. Dumbledore was perfectly done and that bit with him putting his fingers around Snape's "tainted arm"--well, just left me speechless and my gut clenching with nervousness. Snape has so much pain from his past mistakes, and you showed that so well. I felt for him. And for Harry. For everything that went so badly wrong. *teary eyes* My gut clenched all the more as Snape swept in and cupped Harry's chin. It was so easy, so natural. I love how far your Snape has come. It's such a great story of redemption. And Harry didn't try to pull away. The whole scene was so great. And the part where Snape, rubs at the sticky sugar on his chin. Can I just say, "awwww"? You really created such a reaction from something so small. How do you do that? Oh yeah, you're a sodding genius! Oh, I just wait until we get them into the chamber. I'm so nervous. Get writing, Jade! I mean it! I can't wait! :oP Author's Response: Well, see, now I'm torn between writing the final installments of EE while my mind is still in the Snape zone and writing another chapter of SfS (because you know how it calms me down...lol). Advice? I reread the Albus and Severus scene, and it actually surprised me how poignant it was. I had originally planned more of a venting-frustration-and-getting-advice-from-Al sort of conversation, but it somehow warped into this. And I like it much better than how I had orignally planned to do it. I seem to just flush my plans down the toilet as I write...without realizing that I'm doing it. It was the same way with the sugar-on-cheek scene. I think I asked you this before, but does that happen to you? Ideas flowing as you write? By the way, I read the rest of Crucio during my prep, and my God, it's amazing. Snape is perfect. Anyone who thinks he's too harsh in this fic has been clearly warped by the fanfic world. LOL. Absolutely loved it, oh, Clever One... ;) Thanks so much for leaving me a review AND for previewing this for me! You always help boost my confidence.
