Reviews For Literary Minds
I liked the idea that Draco became an author. I kinda had a hunch he would be when I read Al and Sev were going to the bookstore. But he's still a down right prat, isn't he? Yay Severus being Headmaster! Yay Severus seeming to get along with his family! Yay Severus finding a girl! He better hop on it though if he wants kids (which I'm not sure he really does) I know wizards live longer and all that, but still, the time IS ticking. I thought it was funny Harry still trying to act like Sev's father and all. *snickers* And the end with James and Albus was cute! XD I'm glad you wrote this, so I can see that Severus does have a family that he seems to really like and all. VERY GOOD WORK!! Thanks for another wonderful story, Attackfish!! Author's Response: Severus is ridiculously wealthy, which is why he won't really be sharing in the inheritance. (That and he's twenty years older than his dad, so outliving him... Not likely. Snape's just happy Belby's behind bars and humiliated, yay schadenfreude! I remember deciding that Draco was going to idolize Draco, and showing how Draco would act, and using it as a bit of a mirror of Snape's actions towards Harry, given that he's obviously rather fond of his siblings, especially Al. He's an author, he's smart, he got over the pureblood thing. He's still a twit. I like Snape getting to be headmaster and getting to do the job properly this time. I wish I got to see it in more fic. I think Snape's ladyfriend is post-menopausal, and besides which, he thinks children are the spawn of dementors and things beyond the veil. Also, since he's related to James, the kids might get those recessive pranking genes, and then it would be all over. Maybe she has kids of her own? My oldest sibling is fourteen years older than I, and the youngest is ten years older, and I'm very close with all of them. At times, it was like having three extra parents. I wanted to write a similar sort of sibling bond between Snape and his much younger siblings, because after all, they're as related to him as Harry without the awful history. You do anything to their big brother, and you'll have a hoard of angry Potters to deal with, even James Sirius. Also, I wanted to show the little brothers using pranks as a bonding activity, given the Potter family history (Including Snape) with them. I'm glad you like it.
Author's Response: Thanks. it's the sequel to "No Difference", so It' just supposed to be an image of life down the road.
Couldn't you see Draco with some kind of fancy stamp, one that wrote his name in gold and silver ink with flourishes, stamping away at the copies? or maybe he's get a house elf to do it? Author's Response: Calculating the size of the Wizarding World from the size of Hogwarts graduating classes, it's tiny. Even the biggest author would have time to sign his books. Lockhart did, the scumbag. Really though, seeing as it's Malfoy, I can just see the man having some poor house elf suffering writers' cramp for him.
Author's Response: Thank you much.
Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I don't have any specific plans for other one shots, but knowing me, I'll get nostalgic for this universe soon enough and write a few more.
Nice family feel, laughed at the ending with the fireworks on the roof. Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I may write other one shots in the same universe, but I will not be continuing Literary Minds.
Author's Response:
Of course I have it up on Livejournal! I always post to LJ first. If you were watching ND through PotterPast, though, I didn't post there, because there's no actual time spent in the past in this story. This is the end of "Literary Minds", but I may spin out other short stories in the same universe when I get nostalgic for it, probably a few featuring Albus, James, and Lily. I'm glad you liked "Literary Minds" enough to wish there were more of it, though.
My Livejournal post of this is lonely for comments. Apparently more people were watching me through PotterPast than I thought.
Author's Response: Erm... It isn't exactly particularly AU of canon, and it isn't AU of my fic at all. I'm glad you like it though.
Your characterizations of Albus and James was great. We never really saw them much, of course, but I think you did well with them. I loved Ginny's shirt, by the way. And yes, Draco is a git. But hey, we all love that about him, don't we? Wonderful read, Attack. Thanks for sharing. Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I'm the youngest of four by ten years, so I wanted to write a little bit of much older much younger sibling interaction. And I wanted to write the blowing up toaster, because anyone who mixes Potter and Weasley genes and then names the resulting offspring "James Sirius Potter" deserves what he gets. They'll never be cozy, but at least they seem to be enjoying each other's company and not yelling at each other. I have a thing for taking characters that we don't see much of and using them. I had a lot of fun with Ginny's shirt, and with Draco.
Author's Response: Thank you! |
