Reviews For Perfectus Memoria
Anyway I find that in fanfics when people write in house elves they have a very difficult time getting the language down. They either make it very scrambled so it doesn't make sense, or more often they write it too much like normal human speech. You got it spot on in my opinion. So I much enjoyed this chapter as it was so well written. Author's Response: Thank you! I worked really hard at making sure Hana spoke in a way that was true to what she was while also being easy to read. I'm glad I was able to succeed! In regards to her name... I was mostly just trying to avoid the Blinky, Winky, Dobby, name-ending-in-y thing. It just didn't make sense that they should /all/ be so similar. And also, if you consider some of the other elf names, "Hana" actually is weird by comparison! :P Thanks again for the feedback!
Author's Response: Thank you. ^^ Hana was lots of fun to write. Also, I had Severus' quarters all mapped out, so it was easy to describe. Wish I'd come up for this floor plan for my other fic, though, as I really like it. Ta, again, ~D
Author's Response: Which name? Hana I just made up because I thought it sounded simple and sweet as I wished the elf herself to be. There's so many names of elves that end in y or some similar: Dobby, Winky, and I've seen a lot of fic writers also use the same pattern - not that there's anything wrong with that. I just wanted it to be a little different. *shrug* If one were to look it up, though, one would find that Hana is Japanese for 'flower, blossom'. Seeing as I am addicted to Asian drama shows, it is very well possible there was influence from that sector. Hadn't really thought about it.
That said, I'm really enjoying Snape's act of doing-this-because-Dumbledore-told-me-to. Heh. Keep telling yourself that, Snape. :)
I love that little elf; she's too cute. I'm glad though, that Snape is taking good care of Harry. I hope that in time, he'll grow to care for him. Great story! I'm enjoying it very much. I just hope that Harry doesn't die. Author's Response: ^^ You've no idea how much fun I had writing Hana. Glad you like her!
Author's Response: I loved the idea of Snape more or less having a house elf that was nothing like him. I've even got a whole backstory for her, but, alas, it didn't fit into the scope of the story. Glad you like her - she was SO much fun to write. ^^
