Reviews For Alea Iacta Est
Although I love what you've done so far, I fear your Harry will start to act younger than he is. I've seen this happen in a great deal of fanfiction, especialy that involving Snape. Of course, it's understandable since he's now dealing with cancer ontop of Sirius' death. But, still, I often find myself wanting to scream at him "Suck it up, Harry! You're 15, not 5!" I hope that your Harry won't melt into a big puddle of goo or ends up completely dependent on Severus. Still, I'm very excited to see how this unfolds! Author's Response: Thank you for reading. I know exactly how you feel when you've found another story to read. I swear I'm out of completed ones that hold my interest. Then again it's half my fault for how fast I read. I once read the "A Year Like No Other" series plus story updates, and over 100 pages for school in a week and a half! I figured it out to be more than a million and a half words which if you consider an average novel contains around 100,000 words, that's over 15 novels. Oops. LoL. I understand your concern. That bugs me too. I'm going to try my best to not let that happen. In chapter six that I'm currently about 4/5's of the way through writing, I've already started to give Harry choices which should be one way to prevent that because at 15 he should have an input on what happens to him. He's old enough to understand. So, hopefully I'll stay out of that pitfall once Harry really accepts what's happening to him and if I don't warn me before I'm in too deep. =)
Author's Response: I don't know what he signed. :P Of course Severus knows that, but he's a little shaken at the moment so we'll forgive him this once.
Author's Response: Thank you. I'm trying to write it as realistically as possible. It's one of my pet peeves with fanfic when an author gives their character a disease and then usually it's just a plot device to be cured five chapters later with a magic potion, they gloss over the treatment stage in a few chapters then it's suddenly all right again, or they don't do their research and even someone without a smidgeon of knowledge or experience with it can tell the author is way off.
Author's Response: They'll come in the next chapter. =)
Author's Response: I was wondering when someone would ask. It means the die is cast in Latin. It's a well-known phrase that Caesar once said.
Author's Response: I thought about that option or conscious sedation, but as Harry already ate that day, it wouldn't have been a wise decision to put him out because of anasthesia's (ugh it won't spell check for me except to tell me it's wrong) possible side effects. And with conscious sedation that would mean starting an IV and I think Severus wanted to avoid that knowing Harry's aversion to needles if he could, and Severus has a distorted pain tolerance level that he's most likely unaware of.
Author's Response: Another chapter will come in a few days. I have to figure out who I want to tell Harry and how. I assumed you liked grey's from the "seriously?" ;)
Author's Response: The details were essential to make it believe and to make you feel for Harry. And we have another one who reads between the lines...
Too bad they can't magically transfer it to old Voldie. He deserves it. Author's Response: Ha, Voldemort with cancer? I don't think he'd survive a day. |
