Title: Chapter 5: Patience with the Patient. 16 Jan 2008 10:46 pm

    Another good chapter! Just thought I'd point this out- I noticed that several sentances in the beginning were missing the end quote after someone finished talking. I really like this story so far and I am eagerly awaiting the next chapter!

    BTW- You should know that I am a big reviewer so you'll probably get reviews from me every chapter! :)

    Author's Response:

    Thank you Alexis.

    Great to know you are a regular reviewer. I look forward to more.

     About the missing quotation marks. I have done this when a person is talking a lot and there is more than one paragraph within the speech. You miss the last quotation mark to indicate that the next lot of speech immediately following is still the same speaker.

    I have always noted it in novels. I think it happens to avoid confusion because if there is a lot of dialogue going on, it can become confusing as to who says what, especially if the speech stands alone without 'so and so said' at the end.

    no-one has ever mentioned this before, so I hope I am correct.

    Glad you are still enjoying.

    Just so you know, the hit counts on stories aren't realistic of the number of readers. We tend to have a lot of automatic bots crawling around the site to catalogue everything, and every time they access a page the hit count goes up. We may have only 50 people on the site an hour (usually there are about 20 people on at one time, or less), yet new stories may get 200-300 hits during that time.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you Jan for the advice.

    I did realise that there are many many more hits than actual readers, but i wasn't sure of the actual figures.

    Very very good start. You have considerable talent! Your descriptive passages are enthralling - conveying a stark sense of mood within the visual images. And your characters are finely developed and intriguingly revealed. I am looking forward very much to reading more. Excellent work!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you Twinheart for your kind words.

    I am very glad that you are enjoying the story so much.

    I should have the next chapter up today, so I hope to hear from you again.

    The beginning was great with Severus trying to offer Albus something to drink. I like how this chapter showed lots of background information about Severus and his past. Great chapter and I hope to read more soon!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you Alexis, for you review. Am very glad you're enjoying the story.

     I should have the next chapter up today.

    I have 16 already written, I just have to go through each one before I upload it here.

    Hope to hear from you again.

    Another good chapter! Poor Harry will be horrified once he learns that Snape has been taking care of him for the last few days. I really like the length of your chapters too! Good work so far and I look forward to reading more!

    Author's Response:

     

    Thanks Alexis for your committment to reviewing each chapter.

    Glad you're still enjoying. I will put chapter 4 up today.

    Very nice and intense with all that going on! Hopefully Harry will be alright too!

    Very nicely done. Love the little bits of info you incorporate into your story about the different characters. Snape and James first cousins from a set of twin siblings is a very interesting surprise to the story. Love to see where you go with this.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you Lunaz for your kind words.

    Most people seem to love all the detail I go into and yet, it is not something I set out to d--at least, not to the extent I do. I start writing and I can't seem to stop with all the little extras.

    At least, I think most people like it. Perhaps it drives some crazy.

    Glad you like the James/Sev connection.

    Please keep reading and I would love to hear from you again.

    Good start. I like how you shifted from Severus' point of view to Harrys. Are you planning on doing that for future chapters? The Ginny suddenly kissing Harry scene was a bit unexpected but I liked it. You really showed Harry's teenage boy thoughts well. Good start and I look forward to reading more soon!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for your review.

    I have 16 chapters already written and I do do both points of view.

    I know the Harry/Ginny ship annoys a lot of readers, but i love it and I figure that poor Harry gets enough flack, so a little bit of pleasure is very much deserved.

    Please keep on reading.

    YAY! You got it uploaded. Of course, I've read it before but still loved it. Especially Harry and Ginny, of course!

    Author's Response:

     

    Yay, you're my first reviewer. Thanks for that.And thanks for all your help.

    That whole speel on formatting is just so confusing because it says not to upload from a wors document. And I have no idea what tiny MCE is. Do you? 

    Just a quick question, and I hope you don't mind me asking it here. When i clicked on story preview, all the text was bunched together, even though my paragraphs are seperated in the word document. Any idea why? Do I need to seperate it further?

    Will wait for your reply so that I don't have to go thru the whole of the next chapter seperating the text.
