Reviews For The Truth About Tomorrow
Author's Response: I'm glad you think so!! Next update will be this weekend sometime.
You've actually written Vernon quite true to his character, and I appreciate that. It's almost seems as if he feels justified in "punishing" Harry, and in my opinion, I think that JKR's Vernon wouldn't consider what he's doing abusive. He's just that dense. I can't wait for the next chapter! You've really created a lovely story :) Author's Response: I'm really glad that you're reading and reviewing!! Thanks! It is really hard to read excessive abuse fics...I don't like them either, and it's harder to write abuse that's graphic too. Not that I was trying to make this graphic, but I was hoping to find that balance between too much and too little information...so just enough. I'm glad that I hit that balance here. Vernon wasn't too hard to keep in character, to be honest. But with the next chapter I had a bit of a problem with him...he simply wouldn't cooperate! But, yes, he was good here...erm...being a horribly bad guardian, that is. Glad you found him to be in character, I hope he stays that way! I think here he does feel justified in why he abuses Harry. I've never really delved into why that is, but he certainly doesn't feel any remorse for what he does to poor little Harry. I agree too, that canon Vernon never thought that negligence and occational starvation were abusive. Perhaps he simply is that dense...it's certainly possible! Thanks again for the review! It makes me extremely giddy to know that you're enjoying it! Next chapter should be out this weekend.
I really really like the idea of Severus being outside the house just before Harry is beaten by Vernon. If he had just walked in there right then. That makes me really really sad. And I loved his talk with Albus in this. I think you are doing a great job of Severus in character here. Just the right amount of sarcasm for Albus. And you did Albus very well as well. I can tell how badly he feels and how much he cares about Severus. That was lovely. I really can't wait til you get these guys together. I just want Severus to yank Harry out of there and never look bad. Poor Harry. And I like that Severus is getting to the point that he has decided to do something about this. Go Severus! Great chapter and oh, thanks or only giving the little views of Harry's abuse. Too much detail is waay to hard to read. *shudders* Great job, PK! Author's Response: Thanks, OE. You don't think snakes are creepy?...well, since you're officially married to one now, what can I expect? ...I think I'd rather be friends with the spider, if things aren't going too well, I can just squish it...is that wierd? ...Unless I'm a parseltongue... Yeah, why couldn't more of Lily rub off on ol Sev? Maybe then he would have been able to walk into that door. I think that's really why his character is so tragic, all those opportunities... I really hated writing that scene between Albus and Sev, to tell the truth, I can't really tell when I'm being sarcastic. Overly sarcastic, yes, and extremely serious, yes, but just 'sarcastic'...nope. Glad he was in character, along with Albus. He really seemed to frail to push around at that time and I didn't want to break him. Next chapter...these guys'll get together. I also must agree that too much detail is hard to read, but it's also really hard to write...(although I didn't realize that until after my first draft of the first chapter...icky.) Thanks again, OE!! When are you going to be updating LC...hmm?...a person can only take so much time away from her story after getting married...
Author's Response: Oh, I'm pretty sure Severus has got some spell stashed up his sleeve for Vernon once he realizes what happened... Thanks for the review!! I'm glad you're enjoying it! Next update will probably come this weekend. |
