Reviews For Antonomasia
You really know how to build up the momentum! Awesome. Gotta go read more! Author's Response: Thanks so much! And I think I felt most awful for those who I left hanging after this one – naughty naughty me *slaps hand... ow... ^^* - not much horrible-ness left now... okay, I lie... good luck ^^
I imagine that the blood quill was been producedas is the first step in what will be a steadily escalating series of tortures. I have to wonder if she is going to use Legilimency on him, as you implied that she is going to try to make him forget who he is and what he stands for... change his perspective. she is going to mess with his mind, literally, I am sure and not just by breaking him with her physical torture. This story is beautifully written but it is becoming very difficult to read for me. I found Umbridge in canon even worse than Volde (whom we know is a megalomaniac) in some ways because she had the power of the Ministry behind her and had free reign to do what she would. Obviously there are no laws in place in the wizarding world to prevent mistreatment of children, especially by the people who are supposed to have their best interests at heart. I think she would be happy to see Harry dead as long as she is not implicated in the death. Onwards... (but with a great deal of trepidation). Lesley~ Author's Response: Yup, but isnt it fun to read? No... whoops... ^-^. Come on though, wasnt Umbridge always insane? Really, getting kids to write in their own blood? Who sees that on a box of quills and goes 'ooh, perfect! Just what I was looking for!' But yeah, My Umbridge wants to go a little further... ah well. I'm being awfully flippant about this arent I? XD OOh, well done! So many people wanted to believe that the first 'torture' would be the worst and after that Snape would suddenly be sweet and fluffy. No, I'm much meaner than that, and really, where would the fun be if I didnt do a thorough job? Oh! Snap! You are so getting a special mention in chapter 10 you are! *whispers* but dont tell anyone your suspicions just yet k? They're remakably well founded ^^ Oh I'm sorry. *give you Snape plushy... and on second though Harry plushy as well* Yes, I offered these to lot of readers, it isnt the easiest story to read and as much as the fluff is coming, well there has to be a reason for it you know? Still, very sorry it's not the easiest read. And I get the impression she wouldnt care if she was implicated in the death as long as Fudge wasnt *rolls eyes* Surely that was the first tip off in the books that she was insane? Fudge? Really? Wouldnt you have to be seriously wrong in the head to throw your lot in with him? Anyway ^^ hope there wasnt too much trepidation (I'm surprised that after the following few chapters you were still clinging on, very hopeful and optimistic of you, go you! ^^)
Author's Response: Hehe thank you... I think ^^ (hope next chapter isn't too much then) have fun x
Author's Response: Haha, sorry but that made me laugh, I never knew a 'next' button could sound like anything, let alone that ^-^ (although unfortunately I know what a duck flying into the side of a car sounds like... my mum's a terrible driver at times... I'm very very heartened to hear that you were so taken with the first chapters of this fic (and very sorry to leave you hanging at such an inopportune moment). And you might like the next chapter if you like Umbridge-evil... she gets worse. I wish you many more sundaes with yummy things on top to come (and I'm flattered my writing can be compared to such ^^) - enjoy the next one (I hope) ^^ have fun and thanks for the wonderful words (my blueberry muffins ^^) x
Author's Response: Hehe, which is lucky because if you'd screwed your eyes shut you wouldnt have been able to see what happens next ^^. Although I apologise for nauseating you I'm so glad you like it ^^ Wow, you're the first one to want Harry punished... well, if so then you'll like next chapter... thanks for r+r-ing ^^ have fun x
Author's Response: Aww thank you! How can I refuse to update as quickly as humanly possible with an offering like that?! Make sure you get hot chocolate for you too ^^ (and here’s a Snape plushy for when you read next chapter, you gave me comfort food, it’s only fair I give you comforting plushy-hugs ^^) Have fun and thanks x (slurp ^^)
.../ Author's Response: Hehe, okay, I hope you aren’t (too) horrified by Umbridge’s punishment when you do read it though. Have fun and thanks x
Author's Response: Thank you ^^, I’ll update today or tomorrow ^-^ (sorry ‘bout the cliffy ^^) Have fun x
Of course, Voldemort seems to like Nagini. Um, haha, yes, I suppose my comments last chapter *do* come across as a little violent. Dear me. Okay, well, I don't honestly want to do those things—except for poisoning Umbridge, *that* I could handle—but Sirius and Snape need a wake-up call. I'm really mad at Sirius, but I don't think he's quite stable, and he certainly has always been fundamentally immature, so I guess I'll have to let him off if he makes up for it otherwise. Snape...well, Snape isn't Harry's family, so you could say that he doesn't have as much of an obligation to be nice to Harry as Harry's godfather does, but he's bitter and mean and unfair, and has a lot of making up to do himself! :D Excuse my character ramblings. Very nice job with the chapter. I really appreciate your taking the time to respond to people's reviews—reviewing is much more rewarding when you can have a dialogue of sorts with the author. :) Oh—your point (about growing uncertain about a chapter if you keep it to yourself too long) is well taken. I do exactly the same thing, but people (me included) are obviously enjoying your story, so keep 'em coming! :D Editing's great, but don't let yourself get discouraged when you're doing so nicely! Author's Response: aww, don’t be scared *hands you a Snape plushy too* You can cover your eyes ‘til its over if you like but you might miss some important bits. And you’re right, Umbridge is almost worse than Voldy. Maybe she is... as far as I know Voldemort doesn’t like pink (oh the horror if he does ^^). But then, like you said, she seems to like cats... and no one bad can like cats ^-^ or snakes... oh... ^^ Hehe no no, your comments last chapter were entirely justified with Umbridge as far as I’m concerned (and you may think so too next chapter) and Sirius and Snape do need (and will both get) wake up calls soon too, though keep in mind that Snape can be terribly stubborn (every time I try to get him to play nice he sticks his tongue out ^^). It’s a shame about Sirius isn’t it, so far he’s all Harry’s got and yet he’s not the most stable. But he will make up for it, not even he’s so dense as to think he can do that and get away with it ^^. And Snape will make up for things too, don’t worry (I can only write all this cruel-to-Harry stuff because I know what fluff will come of it later ^^) Oh no, don’t apologise, character rambling needs no excuse ^^ I’m really glad you like this fic so far (and I really hope you still do after chapter 6... I’m so nervous about reactions... keep your Snape plushy close ^^). And I know what you mean about reviews, I’ve read so many fics over the past few years and to get a response to them is always fantastic. On the flipside of that I think it’s only fair to make a concerted effort to reply to the people who take the time to read and give their opinion on your work, especially when the reviews are as lovely and well thought out as yours – it’s always fun and useful to be able to have a dialogue (of sorts ^^) with readers who have strong opinions about characters and events ^^ (and you meet some wonderful people too ^^) Thanks so much for the encouragement ^^, I’ve definitely found myself on a roll with this fic so I’ll try to stay on it ^^ Thanks and have fun (and keep that plushy handy!) ^^ |
