Reviews For Emerald Eyes
Thanks for updating it regularly...hope we dont have to wait too long for the next chapter!! I love it! Author's Response: Thanks! I pretty much just love Snape in general...lol. I was hoping to have a new chapter up before I left for Thanksgiving, but I think I'll wait until next week when people will actually have a chance to read it... :)
I'm glad that Snape decided to keep Harry's cloak, although I don't really think that will slow Harry down all that much. I have a feeling it will take a few more lessons from Snape before Harry truly realizes he can trust the man. I'm really beginning to love your Snape. He is definitely the type of adult Harry needs in his life. I laughed out loud at the thought of him giving Harry a bedtime. Very funny. My only question is how did Snape know so quickly that Harry is a parselmouth? And how did Harry know? I guess the dueling club scene already happened, right? Anyway, loved the chapter. Take care and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks! Author's Response: Yes, the exploding cauldron incident happened after the deuling club scene. In canon, Snape never really made a big deal out of it, which is why I had him acting a bit nonchalant over the whole thing. However, most of the events in later chapters will not follow CoS... When has anything ever deterred Harry?...lol...but eventually maybe it will be more than fear of punishment that keeps him in line... Thanks so much for the great review! I haven't been getting review notices in my email, so hopefully I'm not late in replying :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! Yes, Harry keeping it all inside for a moment longer would have just created unbearable tension...lol. I couldn't do that the the readers...or myself.
Sometimes when I call something adorable, I just mean that it is emotionally satisfying; and you hit some sort of a soft chord for me with your amazing writing. I don't necessarily mean fluffy or overly sentimental. And in the case of this fic I certainly do not. I adore the description at the beginning of Harry trying to gain control of himself and Sev's gentle neck squeeze as he releases him. This scene is very sublty and effectivly drawn, and the reader does not feel an attack of mushiness. I don't anyhow. The conversation between these two characters was wonderful. Sev was patient and interested without becoming soft or OOC. The hanky and blanket were offered with a stern matter-of-fact attitude that really enhanced the scene. It wasnt all, you're-cold-sweetie-precious-Potter-pokums. But rather, take-the-blanket- dunderhead. Harry's concern about whether or not he might get a second spanking as he tracked Sev's proximity to the armless chair brought some nice tension to this chapter. And Sev didn't talk down to him, although he was telling him that he was too young to be involved in some things. Harry's relief at the end was well done also. Great work, and your fic is most certainly not suffering from an excess of fluff. Cheers, Delaine Author's Response: Hey Delaine! Thanks so much for reviewing twice :) I really appreciate it. And can I just say that you're completely awesome for pointing out specifics... I love it when readers do that, because it lets me know what I'm doing well and what I need to tweak...specifically. I'm glad the story is not overly mushy. I really strive for subtlety, and I want to keep Severus in character, so thanks very much for pointing that out. I'm so happy you're enjoying my story! I'm flattered :)
Author's Response: Well thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it :)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Writing Harry/Severus interaction is quite fun :)
Author's Response: Thanks! This story focuses heavily on emotions...and I try to make it as realistic as possible. I'm glad you're enjoying the story :)
Author's Response: Your reviews always make my day. Thanks so much for your encouragement :) The exploding cauldron incident actually happened after Harry spoke parseltongue in front of all of his classmates, including Snape...when they were practicing dueling with Snape and Lockhart. The lumos lesson was something I added at the last minute and foreshadows just a bit... And Ron....I shake my fist at Ron...lol. Thanks again for reading and reviewing!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad too; I couldn't take it anymore... lol ;)
I hope you will update it again soon, since I keep checking the site for Chapter 10 like a crackwhore lookin' for a score! I really enjoy how balanced and even-keeled your Snape is, I feel you've done a great job capturing that side of him. He is not an overly emotional person, and is very much in control of himself, which to me, makes him all the more powerful. I enjoyed Harry's breakdown also, (well, not for Harry's sake) and look forward to where you are going with this! Keep up the great work!!! Can't wait to read the next chapter! Author's Response: Thank you for the review! Chapter ten is up. You've described my Snape perfectly...that's just how I want him to come across. I'm happy to know you're enjoying the story so much! |
