Reviews For Antonomasia
Please continue to update quickly! Thanks. Author's Response: thank you ^^ - the abuse and particularly its effects on harry’s mental state will continue a little longer – I don’t want to risk rushing Snape or the plot – and I’m glad it’s obvious about Harry’s ‘for the greater good’ complex ^^ (it is rather important eventually ^^) and Snape will have a change of heart soon ^^ Thanks, have fun x
I think this would be better if either Harry's friends had suspicions about what was going on (even if they are wrong) or if someone caught the violence at this point it time. That's just my opinion though. The chapter was very creative and well-written. Nice work. -P.G. Author's Response: Really? I think I accidentally went into over-descriptive mode and made it too violent, I hadn’t even thought of any kind of biblical references... creepy... and don’t worry, people are and will be worried, I’m just trying to build it up a bit (I don’t wanna jump into the snapey goodness too soon ^^) And thank you for the opinions, I love and use them all in some way (and you did give me an idea with the writing of the next chapter so thank you ^^) Thanks so much, hope my ‘darkest before the dawn’ part of the fic doesn’t scare you off ^^ Have fun x
ANYHOW THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING AND...interesting. And and and and..yeah. Updateplease? ( Author's Response: aww, aplogise to the cat for me? Didn’t mean to offend her TT Glad you think it’s interesting ^^ - as long as it’s a good interesting ^^ I’ll be as quick as I can ^^ thanks so much, have fun x ^^
Great chappie, but yes... graphic. Yes, still love cats. Author's Response: very glad you didn’t lose your love of cats because of me ^^, and sorry for the graphic-ness of it, there’s one more you may not like in that case but there will be plenty of warning and I’m treading carefully as I write it so no reason to worry yet ^^ Umbridge deserves caning and potions and anything else Snape can think of... certainly not muffins *hands you a muffin* you do ^^ thanks! Have fun x
Thank you for updating so frequently and please keep it coming!!! Author's Response: Thanks so much! What you said just made me smile so much ^^ - and I’m so relieved you didn’t think it too violent too, that was a worry and the amount of people who seem to trust me with the idea is so reassuring ^^ I know Harry probably would have put up more of a resistance to drinking the potion but Sirius was being a jerk, Umbridge isn’t letting up, Snape’s still Snape at the moment and my Harry is a little less... self-assured than canon, all of it together makes for a very bad week and a very insecure Harry who honestly thought it would be simpler to drink it – not to mention, if I was in that situation I’d put up more resistance to caning than to drinking a potion so the fact that he went through with that too... I hope it isn’t too hard to believe, it was one of those things that needed to happen one way or another ^^ (and you have to admit, he is having one crap week, he’d have to be pretty fed up by now, I’m so mean to him) Sorry I’m leaving it a little longer this time than usual but I’ll keep them coming ^^, thanks so much for the reassuring (and incredibly flattering) comments ^^ have fun x
Author's Response: I’m glad you felt sorry for harry, means my writing isn’t completely crap ^^ - and very glad you think it was good in terms of angst – keep that in mind for the next few chapters? (Snape really will lighten up soon but something else is... gonna happen...) Thanks! ^^ have fun x
Oh, I do hope Severus discovers all this very soon and will learn how mistaken he's been about Harry all this time. And then he can devise a suitable torturous punishment for Umbridge! I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Author's Response: oh, wouldn’t it just? In a big pot of something boiling with dancing house elves all around... okay, little violent again, sorry ^^ I hope sev finds out soon too... oh... I keep forgetting I’m the one writing this ^-^ - he will soon, promise ^^and then I’ll let him loose on Umbridge... or Dobby... imagine the revenge there... so high-pitched *looks wistful*... sorry, I’m so out of it right now ^-^ Thanks so much, hope the following few chapters dont turn you off this fic completely, sev should be a bit nicer by chapter 10 (or around about) so ‘til then, have fun ^^ x
Author's Response: hehe, I was worried I’d traumatised you but seeing as you enjoyed it, well, that’s okay then ^^ thanks for r+r-ing ^^ Have fun x
I want to click the "next" button SO bad... but there isn't one yet... I'd say the violence/plot ratio was right on. We now have a very definitely abused Harry (whose marks would be immediately identifiable) AND a believable, terrifying Umbridge. Yum. (Yes, I talk about stories like food. And I still love cats. And despise pink frills. Although, if I didn't, I'd get myself a cane like hers, just to scare the s*** out of people.) Author's Response: hehe, I was reading a fic recently and had the exact same problem, sorry *tentatively hands you a muffin* forgive me? ^^ Excellent! I love that at least some of the people reading this think that it wasn’t too violent ^^, yum indeed ^^ And that’s good too, I would hate to think I’ve scared people off of cats (or onto pink frills *shudder*) – would be a good ice breaker at parties huh *pulls cane out of handbag* oh, lookie what I’ve got! ^^ Thanks, have fun (and hide the cane ‘til after you’ve stolen people’s cookies... you may compare stories to food but its the only thing in my head... not literally... I don’t think... ^^)
"It made Harry want to retch that she would call him dear and hit him at the same time." Have no fear, man, she LOVES you! *blech* My cursed imagination - I just had this mental image of Fudge in articles. "Tsk-tsk, we can't go on this particular political course, now can we, my love?" "Nh-uh" "Tha-at right. Fudge, Fudge, we can't hold grudge. *test swish* Now we will clean everything... through main gates - the way you do evrything in your life, I'm afraid, my poor silly." Sorry for this stand-up). The longer I read the less became my levity. Poor Harry. You described his thoughts and feelings convincingly (loneliness, hero complex, his anger at his friend's words). If Dumby knew of his thoughts, guess old man would have heart attack. Or maybe not?.. I fear of this potion - what was this vile stuff? What is this "surprise" (will it be something kind?)? Great work at characters and atmosphere, can't wait to see what's next. Best wishes! Author's Response: ahh, umbridge and her toys, volatile combo really, but she’ll go back to her classics soon... ha, I’m awful at giving hints ^^ Wow, interesting tangent you lost yourself in there huh ^^ and no, you were right the first time, my dumbles would freak if he knew harry’s thoughts... i doubt I could make him mean if I tried ^^ haha, will the surprise be kind? Perhaps you should reread the chapter :p Thanks so much, hope you keep liking the fic as it progresses ^^ Have fun x |
