Reviews For You Can't Always Get What You Want
Author's Response: Wow, sorry I haven't responded to this sooner. Thanks so much for your interest in this story. I finally updated if you still want to read.
Author's Response: If you find it interesting, you might be happy to hear that I have sent a new chapter to my beta just this afternoon. Thanks for the kind words. T
Author's Response: Thanks. I really enjoyed coming up with the premise for the story. It was actually in response to a half-serious challenge. The prompt was "Well, Happy effing New Year." Thanks for the review. T
Author's Response: Thanks. Your review brightened my day. T
I dislike the end of DH and abhorr the Epilogue, but this might be a worthwhile development, I am curious now what will happen when Albus tinkers with time? . Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione - two marriges of potential doom. You offer at least an out for Harry in this first chapter (Yeah! Great! Leave Ginny, get a life Harry!) and I cannot imagine Hermione ( a studious, ambitious person) staying in a boring, suffocating, loveless marrige forever. Rons behaviour during the marrige and especially at that new Years party is unacceptable. I am glad that Draco is so happy with Astoria. I am impressed about your descriptions of Albus and Severus. Author's Response: I"m glad you liked the first chapter. I've actually written very little of Harry and I've always written him with Ginny. I like the ship, but I do think that they were way to young and inexperienced to make a marriage work. As for Ron and Hermione, I see their marriage going along those lines. Hermione would forgive people and this would be a blow to Ron's masculine pride. I love a flirtatious but devoted Draco. I think the boy probably went through some he** to get to the point he was at by the Really Awful Epilogue AKA Nineteen Years Later. I do have a bit of a soft spot for all the Slytherins. Blame it on the bad-boy complex. Thanks for the compliment on my portrayal of Albus and Severus. I have written Severus more than I have any other character and I'm glad he comes off in character. Thanks for the review. T
What a great beginning, though I'm sad that Harry and Ginny's marriage has not worked out. I think you perfectly captured that sense of regretful, resigned acceptance when both parties have realized that they're better off ending the relationship, yet there is still a wish that things could have been different. I love Dumbledore's presence too, and the desire/plan to make things right for the two people that he cared for, and yet treated so badly. Great beginning again! Author's Response: Thanks. I really wanted to catch that pathos and sense of relief that they were feeling. I'm glad you felt it too. Dumbles is hard for me to write. I don't know why. I think that's why so many of my stories have him dead or off camera. Thanks for the review. T
I can't wait to see what Dumbles has planned for our boys. Author's Response: Thanks for the encouragement. I don't think I've ever written Harry with anyone but Ginny, so this is a challenge. I hope you enjoy chapter 3. |
