Reviews For Resolution
Author's Response: I can't tell you how wonderful that is for me to read! Thank you! (Though I apologise for keeping you up - have some virtual chocolate as recompensation :D) Ah, I shan't give anything away about where he'll see Shadow, but I hope you'll like it!
I really feel like the only way for them both to survive, is to truly merge as one being in the end. Have you ever read "The Fionavar Trilogy" by Guy Gavriel Kay? In it, one of the characters, a seer, make of her soul a gift to the next seer, which allows her to have knowledge of Fionavar (the first world) that she would never have had previously. for the younger seer, she carries with her a twin soul, but it doesn't detract from her own. She's still herself. The first seer died to give her soul to Kim, so she doesn't have a running dialogue in Kim's head, just knowledge of an entire other life, that completes herself. I think the only way for the two Harrys to really exist successfully is to be rejoined. Except Harry will have the knowledge of Shadow, within him. (Without Shadow making him crazy). It just seems like something ripped apart by an outside force should always be rejoined. But I'm interested in seeing how you will play this out. Author's Response: Yes, that idea come into my head once or twice, but I never did quite agree with the whole Horcrux/Occlumency thing, so I decided to ditch that as I wouldn't do it justice. Probably my idea of what's going on is more fantastical, but I like it *grin* You'll find out soon... ish. I haven't read those books, but they certainly sound like something interesting to look into. Your interpretation of what was going to happen to Shadow was actually the first one that came into my head, but as I wrote more, it didn't seem to quite fit the story anymore, but I'm hoping you'll let me know when I finally get this story done :) Thanks for reviewing!
So, is there a guess what is bitting his leg? First a kitten came to my mind, but it doesn't make sense. Then a fish, because it would be so wonderfully absurd. Then a serpent, as it would kind of make sense, Shadow is a parselmouth, isn't he. Then I wondered if it could be a rat - Petigrew, but I guess it is not probable either. Hm... I guess I will just hope your update comes soon :) Mila Author's Response: Being trapped completely on my own is something I would hate as well - rest assured, he will fine that there is more than the pebble soon. Hmm, I love your guesses - especially the fish - I will tell you that one of your guesses came quite close... Yes, Shadow is a Parselmouth, but the critter is warm and hairy, rather than scaly... Thanks for reviewing!
I like this perspective of Shadow and the Mirrorverse reminds me of a Star Trek episode where Kirk and Spock had to deal with their doubles who were opposites in character and rather evil. I'm glad Shadow's trying to become his own person. Does he love Severus as his dad? Comsidering he probably has memories of him that Harry doesn't? Will we get to see the talk between Harry and Severus next chapter? Looking forward to it! Author's Response: *grins* The animal will probably be the last thing you'd think of... Lily actually tried to keep Severus as far away from her child as possible on the off chance that he guessed the truth, so Shadow doesn't have any memories of him. However, he has seen the man interact with Harry and would probably have been quite jealous even though he didn't show it. The talk won't happen next chapter, but there will the build up to it instead! Thanks for reviewing!
I can't wait for your next update. You have such vivid descriptions. I really love your writing! Please update soon, the suspense is killing me! I want to know what Snape is going to do to Harry about stealing the book, and I want to know what that animal or otherwise is where Shadow is. Author's Response: Don't worry; from now on (when I write his chapters) he won't have much time to be sad - his adventures are just beginning! The little critter gnawing on Shadow's shoes is a creature of my own invention - I hope you'll like him when I get round to writing that next bit. It's really weird how fully formed people (or animals) can just pop into your head when you're writing! Thanks - I'm really happy that you're enjoying this so much; you saying so gives me confidence to write more :) The next chapter is practically done (it's Harry/Snape again!) - just needs a lot of tweaking before it can be considered acceptable!
The pebble has given me hope and I'm glad Shadow hasn't fallen into doubt yet. I wonder how long it might be before he starts to think that Harry might not save him (though it wouldn't be true, but I imagine the thoughts will enter his head at some point because of his lack of company or anything to amuse him). What sort of creature are we dealing with here? Please update soon so we can find out! I also need to know what's going to happen with Snape and the book! Which part are you going to write on next? -P.G. Author's Response: Thank you - Shadow's magic will be good to write about when I can finally get him use it properly :) The burning of memories was probably something Shadow discovered while wandering about in the wilderness - I'll probably go more into it when he meets... um, you'll see. The creature in question is an animal of my own creation - and I'll say in advance that it's a little weird, but that I love it to bits. I'll be updating the Harry/Snape part next - more setting up of the plot, I'm afraid, but after that the story can really start - hopefully, it'll be enjoyable despite that! The Shadow bits are going to be coming less frequently than Harry/Snape, but there's no way I'd abandon him for too long ;) |
