Reviews For Antonomasia
Looking forward to see what happens next! Author's Response: Hehehe, and you aren’t the only one either, so many people saying ‘poor harry’... makes me wonder if maybe perhaps I might be possibly being a bit mean to him? Hmm... and the shirt-sticking-to-his-back thing... well, he may be tough but my harry doesn’t appear to have an awful lot of common sense ^^ But then writers do tend to have things in common with their protagonists ^^
As for exploring Harry's mentality, the exploration can only head southwards, can't it? To the very depths of despair. He will now accept the punishments even more as his due, I am sure. I am surprised that their aren't Aurors at the castle already waiting to arrest Harry. Fudge would have been quick to follow up Skeeters insinuations with action, especially if it seems that the general public is on his side in believing that HArry killed Cedric. Why has someone not actually said to Harry that when he suggested that they both take the cup, he was not expecting to be taken to a graveyard in Little Hangleton to play with Lord Voldemort. He was expecting the end of the tournament with both he and Cedric winning. Though I don't suppose it would register with him being so negative and down. And all of that sugar is not making me feel better. Sorry. Even if Harry does survive this horror, I feel his sanity will be beyond saving. Author's Response: Hmm, but then Harry does like to defy the odds doesnt he. You know, by moving. ^^ And I've always thought it was handy they wore so much black considering the amount of muck and blood they manage to cover themselves in. Poor house elves. Elfs. Elves. Whatever ^^ Yeah, Harry's mentality, well it's not a roller coaster so much as that awful dropping ride they have on the Gold Coast that takes you up and drops you over and over... except Harry's doesnt stop when it reaches the ground I suppose... I think this metaphor is getting a little beyond me ^^ (especially since I've never been on the ride XD) And no, if they didnt take Harry to St Mungos when Skeeter said he was deranged they wont put him in Azkaban on her say so (I wont let them! Haha, go me! ^^) Oooh, nice one there. I dont know, I'll have to ask Ron and Hermione... maybe Snape will say something when the time comes to address the guilt thing. I suppose though that the idea of winning the tournament was a little eclipsed by... you know, Cedric dying minutes later and Voldy returning for an epic battle and all... not to mention David Tennant trying to kill him as soon as he got back (sorry, even as Crouch Jr, David is just hot ^^) - how's that for going off on a tangent, a wonderful, wonderful tangent ^^ Oh, dont lose your optimism *throws more sugar at you - it will help eventually ^^* nothing's beyond saving, 'specially when Snape's involved, and he will be... although if you think Harry's beyond saving now... well...
Great chapter--I look forward to more. -P.G. Author's Response: Hehe, ooh, I hadnt thought of Draco doing that... hehe nah, I'm not that cruel (I'm such a liar ^^) - Draco will only end up a friend if he decides to write himself in again (or something more?... heh, I really dont know ^^, I'm leaving it to him ^^) I'll update soon... well, sooner than last time ^^ Thanks ^^ have fun x
The chapter is delicious present for readers, as always. The title is so fitting. The description of Harry's wounds is worrisom... Thanks again for marvelous update, it makes me restless in waiting next one! Pleease, hurry!;)) Author's Response: Thanks! It was a lot of fun, all the better for having such gorgeous readers and reviewers ^^ Ooh, I cant remember my writing ever being described as delicious before, thank you! ^^ and it’s probably good that you’re worried about Harry’s wounds... they don’t exactly sound healthy do they? (or as healthy as toad-inflicted cat scratches can be anyway... where do I get this stuff? ^^) I’ll try not to keep you restless for long ^^ thanks so much, have fun x
Great chappie as usual; so well written. Oh, Happy Birthday. Mine's coming up too. WE can both have birthday cake! Author's Response: I think Snape suspects a lot more than anyone – including me – ever realises, I don’t relish writing from his thoughts when the time comes ^^ Don’t worry, the toad will go splat soon... although not soon enough to warrant breath-holding, I think you’d suffocate ^^ Thanks ^^ and Happy Birthday for soon ^^ *gives you a big slice of chocolate mud cake* wooo, party! ^^ have fun and laugh lots x
Good chapter. I really like how you're exploring Harry's mental state. In the books he comes off as so levelheaded that it's almost unbelievable. Rowling didn't really have Harry suffering much from his upbringing, which I understand because she wrote it as a children's series, but I love when authors remember that even if Harry hadn't been abused physically, there's still some lingering emotional damage there. I hope we get to some more Harry and Severus interaction soon. I can't wait to see how you'll approach that. Poor Harry. Those wounds on his back sound like they're infected. I had to cringe when he had to peel off his shirt. Ouch! I do have one suggestion, but it's really a style choice. I've noticed you jump around in terms of point of view quite a lot. That's completely okay as many published authors do, but sometimes I feel your transitions between the points of view are a bit disjointed and not seamless. You also at times go into a more omniscient point of view, which works, too but again sometimes I feel like I'm thrown off a bit. I just wanted to let you know as something to work on. However, I must say I'm super intrigued to see where you're going with this, so I can't wait to read the next update! Author's Response: Aww thanks! ^^ *gives you a huge slice of birthday cake with whipped cream and strawberries* ^^ I know what you mean, Harry seems just a tad abnormal by the end of the series because he never really reacts to anything, not as much as a teenager would (i.e. very very dramatically ^-^) I just hope I’m not going overboard in the opposite direction. Hehe, you’re making me nervous now ^^ - hope the Snape/Harry interaction doesn’t disappoint ^^ Ooh, ten points to you (I wonder if I should be keeping a tally?) yup, those wounds aren’t in very good shape... and I tend to get carried away with gruesome descriptions sometimes, did I do that again with his shirt? (hehe... whoops ^^) at least it gets a response out of readers though XD Thanks for the suggestion too, and for taking the time to notice and tell me about it ^^ *gives you another slice* ^^ - I think I try to get as many characters POVs out of a scene as possible and skip a bit too much so I’ll go over my next few chapters for that (especially since I know one part I’ve already written which I know has that problem, so thank you ^^ hehe together we’ll get me writing at a first grade level ^^) Hope I keep you intrigued ‘til the last chapter (whenever that may be ^^) Be happy and safe x
Author's Response: Thanks! ^^ and I think you’re right, it would be a little OOC for Snape to spring forth as the knight in shining armour ^^ (I mean, can you imagine him riding a white horse? Weird ^^) Have fun x
Author's Response: I know, finally! ^^ aww that’s sweet of you, I’ll try not to leave you waiting anymore ^^ Thanks so much ^^ have fun x
What is best is how you have developed Ron as a person. So many fics just show him as clueless, etc. But this is different--much more...real. +-= Author's Response: Thank you ^^ I’ll try to be quick(er) about it ^^ I’m so glad you like Ron’s development too, I was worried I was getting carried away with him and ignoring Snape but I think the development’s been good given how long this fic is sure to become ^^ Thanks so much ^^ have fun x |
