Reviews For No Difference
--his Author's Response: :)
But oh, Hermione, you nosey little thing! She's gunna try and figure it all out, isn't she? I kinda hope she doesn't, but at the same time I hope she does. And I do feel that Ginny deserved a detention. (I know, I'm mean!) Another great one! Author's Response: I had to gear myself up for this chapter, and especially that speech emotionally. As soon as I knew I was having Snape teach, I knew I'd have to write him a killer first day speech, on par with the ones in canon. I don't know how well I did, but I rather like it. I call it "Snape terrifies with mathematics" but then I'm a political science student. We're obsessed with statistics. Hermione's going to be a problem... And so is Ginny. That young lady deserves a lot of detentions, really.
First of all, you've got Harry noticing the doubt and upset on Snape's features because it looks like his *own* features. Second, that... that *speech*. Wow. And third, Harry's sudden understanding that *he* will have to be McGonagall or Dumbledore the next time around... and finally, Harry realizing he could *become* Snape... You've made a number of sudden connections I as the reader hadn't, and presented them to me wrapped in a pretty bow. Thank you. :) -K Author's Response: I’m glad I hooked you. I’ve been trying to imply and hint at things because I used to hate it when authors told me what connections to make, but it’s a bit of a balance I guess. That speech was kind of my baby for a little while. Shape’s teaching career has been marked by great speeches, and I was worried I wasn’t up to it. A friend of mine calls it “in which Snape wows with mathmatics”. I liked writing Harry putting the pieces together, and I’m glad it didn’t seem too contrived.
Author's Response: Thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you! I’m actually quite proud of that speech. I refer to it as the “Snape awes with mathematics” moment. |
