Reviews For Antonomasia
Seriously, this is one of the best, most well-written fanfics I've read in a LONG time. It's entrancing, it takes its time to develop and the characters are more than believable--they're real. And as far as Draco goes... personally, I tend to prefer a little H/D thrown in with my Sevitus, but only if it's well-written. Don't force anything; especially don't make Draco some poor beaten little misunderstood such-and-such. He's not. He's arrogant, spoilt, and racist, but like his wand, there's a hidden core (that he probably doesn't even know about). Of course, seeing how well you've written everyone else, I'd trust you to write him the best I've seen out of any fanfic author. ((And yes, just-friends/not-really-enemies is fine too. I'll just have to content myself with my own fantasies.)) Author's Response: Thanks! aww, okay, I wouldnt want you to implode, you write too nice reviews for that ^-^ Thank you so much for the wonderful things you said, I was having a crap night until I read your review so thanks, blueberry muffins to you! And don't worry, whether Draco's a big part of this or not he will not be a poor beaten little misunderstood such-and-such ^^, readers tend to resent those characters and I'm not overly fond of them myself. At the moment he's deciding whether to write himself into this or not but if he does it will be entirely natural and not for the sake of it in the least. I love your description of him, although comparing him to his wand so soon after stating a preference for H/D put in mind one too many innuendos ^-^ (my minds dirty tonight, sorry) Thanks for trusting me with the characters too, I think in fanfiction we tend to do that with writers and too often trusting someone to do an idea justice backfires so I'll try to live up to it ^-^ It may end up being a just-friends arrangement but lately I found myself reading a few H/D fics where they were more so who knows (just out of curiosity, feel like telling about those fantasies? hehe ^-^) Thanks and hope you continue to like this ^^ have fun x
I vote strongly that we NOT include Draco, by the way. :D And if we must, can we please not make him a tragic hero figure? I don't mind if he is canon and then has a turn around, but I don't like made-up tragic histories because they tend to lead to excusing his abominable behavior. But, up to you. As for quality vs. speed, it depends on how wide the difference in updating is. :D Since I didn't catch your last update, I'll just say that extra high quality is worth a lot, so long as the gap isn't so long that I forget about your story! Author's Response: Thanks! Hehe I should keep a ‘poor Harry’ tally, if I had a dollar for every time I’ve had that in reviews... well, I’d probably have less than 20 bucks but I’d take that ^-^ and no, of course not, the more people who want to poison Umbridge the better, it means I’m achieving the write reader response to her (and that readers tend to like Harry more than Umbridge, and who wouldn’t? ^-^) and I think slapping Sirius wouldn’t be remiss either (he can be a bit thick cant he?)... and as for Snape... well he does like to take his time doesn’t he? You’re a little violent aren’t you? Hehe, but then I think anyone who reads this (or writes it ^-^) agrees wholeheartedly with your desire to dole out some ‘sense’ to my silly characters ^^ And thanks for having an opinion on Draco, not many did but all the ones that did including you are taken into account – I can understand not wanting Draco included (I’ve read many fics where his inclusion couldn’t have annoyed me more) and he will most certainly not be a tragic hero figure (XP yuck) no, at the moment he’s popping up from time to time but he hasn’t decided who he wants to be yet and I can assure you there will be no ‘poor wittle draco’s anywhere in this fics future ^^ And excellent point about the update time, I’ll try not to let it get like that again ^^ and I’ll get the quality to as perfect as I can before updating as well (I find if I leave it on my comp too long without updating I end up being unhappy with it for whatever reason so it’s better all round to update faster anyway huh ^^) Thanks so much for your review, I love ones that help shape the story like yours ^-^ have fun x
Author's Response: Haha thanks! I loved your review so much, I’ve never been told any of my writing was ‘disgustingly good’ before ^^ and I’m so glad my characters are canon so far, I hope I don’t ruin that through the events soon to come, let me know ^-^ Thanks ^^ have fun x
Author's Response: Thanks ^-^ I agree, she’s the perfect antagonist because she’s just naturally malicious and seems happy to stop at absolutely nothing to get what she wants. Hehe thanks (I think) for the twisted comment, I seem to have a talent for making people think ‘poor Harry’ and making her cruel... not that that’s hard ^^) – if you like seeing how twisted she can get you might be interested in chapter six... I get inventive ^-^ Thanks so much, have fun ^^
As for Draco, I always like to see him rise above the evil he's surrounded by and start being his own person, but I'd say go with where the story and characters lead you on that. Author's Response: Thanks so much, this is one of the nicest reviews I’ve gotten, especially that you find my writing effortless, I’ll try to keep that in my future writing ^^ That I could make you feel so many things so acutely is so fantastic to hear (although I’m sorry I left you feeling so many negative things, especially the hurt in your chest, *send you lots of Harry hugs to make up for it* - perhaps I should write some fluff to counteract the effects of this fic? ^-^) Hehe, and it’s never too soon for Sev to step in but unfortunately he does seem to want to take his time in this instance – I let the character’s have free reign a lot of the time and he just doesn’t want to lose his reputation yet (stubborn bugger that he is ^-^) And thank you so much for your comments about Draco, I think that’s exactly where I want to let Draco go in this fic and you put it into words wonderfully (overcoming evil and being himself but not becoming the epitome of all things good in the world, that’s just a bit too OOC for my liking ^^) Thanks for reading and reviewing, have fun ^-^
I want to just protect the poor boy, so that no one ever hurts him again. I can't wait till your next update. Please hurry!! Author's Response: Thanks ^-^ I’m getting so many ‘poor Harry’s’, I must be very cruel (but then without adversity where would we be? Probably a lot happier huh ^-^) I’m sure with your protection he’d be quite a bit safer (and he’d appreciate the hugs ^-^) Have fun and thanks ^^
Author's Response: Thank you, I hope you still think so by the end ^-^ have fun x
I love how close Ron, Hermione, and Harry are, and how Ron is there for Harry. Of course Hermione would be too, if she were close by at night. But I'm so glad that Harry at least has them right now. Poor Harry, I'm feeling so sorry for him right now I can hardly stand it. Something truly horrible needs to happen to Umbridge and I do hope it happens soon, lol! Harry has so much on him right now. It seems that he is close to the breaking point. He has nasty and unfair detentions with Snape, plus Umbridge's abuse, nightmares, and now the disappointment and hurt of Sirius' careless words. Once again, thank goodness he has his friends' support, but they can only do so much. Harry needs an adult...and I can't wait to see a relationship develop with Severus. I really loved the chapter and I'm looking forward to the next one. As for Draco...I think you should decide how you feel about him, and if you want to include him or not. Either way is fine with me! Author's Response: Thank you! I know, I set myself a tri-weekly updating schedule and break it after three chapters... maybe I'm not one for schedules after all ^^ I do so love the relationships between Harry, Ron and Hermione in your fics and so many others, and with Harry having to face Snape and Umbridge I thought it only fair that the golden trio at least had each other... anything less would just be cruel (the incredible amount of humour in thats statement will become obvious when my sadistic side comes out in chapter 6... poor poor Harry, who on earth wold entrust him to me? ^^) I also love the fact that Harry can often only count on Sev for honesty and an adults care for a child rather than a wizards care for the boy-who-lived, he so rarely gets it and its so nice when (nice) fanficcers let him have Sev ^^ Oh, and sorry... Umbridge's abuse isn't quite done... umm... you may hate me after chapter 6 if you think it's bad now... just keep in mind that whatever she does to Harry, she'll get worse in the end... and that this may well turn into a longish fic... Thanks for the kind words (always ^^ they're so motivating and encouraging, *hands you a blueberry muffin*) and also for the advice about Draco, I'll let him and Harry decide how they want to play this ^^ Thanks so much, and really looking forward to more from you too ^^ stay safe and smile heaps, have fun x
oh, poor harry haha. snape AND umbridge.. can't wait for the next one :) Author's Response: hehe your welcome, thank you for reviewing it ^^ Yeah, I dont think it gets much worse than that winning combo - I doubt voldy could go up against them both ^^ poor harry indeed ^^ have fun x
Author's Response: Thanks so much ^^ In that case I'll make sure to write faster ^-^, you definitely know how to motivate a writer ^^ have fun x |
