Reviews For Finding a Family and a Home
Author's Response: Thanks! What a great compliment! (It's always much better to hear "what? it's ended??" rather than "oh lord - isn't it over yet?") Im certainly being motivated to think about a sequel - thanks for adding your vote!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it - thanks for taking the time to let me know.
Sequel?! :) Author's Response: Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm really glad you felt that everyone stayed in character. I don't know about a sequel... I'll have to see what I can come up with, but thank you for asking!
For some reason I really like that line. I've been enjoying this story. I don't think I'd read it all on fanfiction.net, so it's nice to read it here. I hope you'll continue into the summer? Or start another story with the summer? Author's Response: Thank you for asking! There's nothing (for me) as motivating for a sequel as reviews like yours asking for one. I'm delighted to see that you like my take on the characters enough to want to know what happens next. :)
In the books he's so flat and static compared to the changes the Trio undergo. Here he's changing bit by bit from his father's clone to being a little boy finding his own personality. You've given them all room to be *children* and I have absolutely enjoyed taking the time to stroll through your version of JKR's universe :) I am also dearly hoping for a sequel to this family goodness Author's Response: Thank you so much! I honestly had NO intention (read "zero") of even including Draco when I started. I never liked the character in the books (for all the reasons you described) and had no thought of including him in MY version of the universe. But - as often happens - my muse had other ideas, and I ended up writing WAY more about him than I'd ever intended. And in the end, to my shock, I ended up liking him (well, my version of him). Go figure!! Anyway, thanks so much for the review! I'm not sure about a sequel, but I'm certainly being motivated to think about it by reviews and encouragement like yours. :)
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, I agree that it's nice to have it all in one place. I really appreciate this site for giving me the opportunity to post it here in this form. And thank you for taking the time to review! :)
Overall a wonderfully written story for an obviously talented author, thank you for a great story! -Shonda Author's Response: Wow! Thank you for your review - I'm really overwhelmed. I'm delighted to hear that you felt the characterization was well done. It's the thing I worry about the most, having seen (as you describe) other stories that seem to veer too much one way or the other, especially wth Snape. It's therefore just marvelous to receive feedback that - yay! - it worked in this story. I'm glad you enjoyed the storyline - compared to many of the stories that are much more action packed with Voldemort and duels and such, this is very mundane and relationship based, so I was a little worried that people would find it boring. (Yeah, yeah, okay so they're getting along. Big deal - where's the action??) It's lovely to get reviews like yours and realize that other people (not just me!) like the human side of the story, not just the (magical equivalent) of explosions and car chases. ;) Thank you so much!!
Author's Response: Thanks! I liked the game too - it just felt like a great way that they could both express their feelings without actually saying how they felt. ;) (typical males!!!!) |
