Reviews For Real Illusions
Minerva was excellent. I loved how she didn't hide her feelings, but showed how much she cares for Harry, and Poppy and Dumbledore were IC, too. I loved how you showed Severus' past, and how the actions, or inactions, of others affected him. I'm glad he was able to see that he has become the bully whereas Harry is the innocent victim, and I hope Severus will be able to show Harry his remorse, and will do his best to become supportive. Looking forward to more! Author's Response: Thank you for your kind review and I am sorry that I could not post sooner. RL is sooo bad sometimes. I had chapter 6 almost done by the end of April, then I had to go abroad for over a month, my betas vanished and I had to work without pauses for weeks. Wheew. Now it's better. I am so happy that you love how I depicted the characters, because it's really difficult. I know how "my" Severus, Harry and the others are, but putting it into words and in English, well... that's not easy. I always believed that our past is what forges us, somehow and I could not handle Severus, Minerva and Harry without basing on that. I admit that writing Minerva was particularly difficult! So thank you for appreciating it!
Thanks for writing this. Please update again soon. Author's Response: I am sorry that the update come so late. I apologize, but I really had no choice. As you'll see from the new chapter, Severus and Harry are finally together and now the fun starts :)
Author's Response: Thanks for your review. Minerva and Severus are colleagues and they should really stop bickering :) Now it's up to the "boys" to make things work!
Author's Response: Thanks for your review. And I am so happy that you like how I write. I am sorry I was so late with the next update, but I've working like a slave and had no time to write whatsoever. I'll try to post more soon!
Author's Response: Thank you! I am so happy that you liked how I "sketched" the characters. It really was very difficult, but I am happy with the results now. And I apologize for posting the new chapter so late. I had it almost done by April 15th, then I had to travel for over one month and when I came back I found that my desk at work was seriously risking breaking due to the heaps of paper on it. And it took more than one month to sort it all out. Now I can finally write again! Thanks for your patience!
Author's Response: I really feel guilty as well for doing that to them, actually! But I'll make it up!
Author's Response: Yup. Severus would never settle for anything less than spectacular, isn't it? :) Our Snape is too good for little mistakes, so I had to find something big. But I do feel guilty. :)
Author's Response: Well... I actually rewrote that letter a couple of times ^_^ The signature was a difficult point, because I did not know if I had to let Harry sign as HP or HJP. But in the end I decided for HJP for two reasons: first of all it's a way for Harry to state that he acknowledges he is his father's son and that he cannot change that, but on the other hand it also puts weight on his apology for what his father and godfather did. It's a sort of "I know who I am and I respect my family, although they were not perfect". But it does have the effect of making Severus angry. Harry wanted to enforce his apology, but Severus chooses to accept it as an insult instead.
Author's Response: Thanks for your review! The prologue was the worst one to write, really. You know how you want to develop the story, but you don't know how to start. It's really angsty, those three pages took years to write ^_^
Author's Response: Hello! I apologize for the long wait! RL worked against me, but I am back now and I'll try to post asap! |
