Reviews For Ugly Duckling
Author's Response: Thanks: I'm glad you enjoyed it despite the sad ending. What I wanted to do was simply add a chapter (or two) to the canon; the battle of Hogwarts still happened, Snape still died but, in this fic, there was more to his relationship with Harry than met the eye.
Author's Response: Sorry, I didn't think it needed an additional 'Character Death' warning as a. the story is just following the canon and b. I did mark this as a 'Tragedy' (which does rather suggest that there won't be a happy ending). Moreover, the moderator who uploaded this story didn't add the warning, perhaps because they also felt it was unneccesary. It's a bit disappointing to receive a review like this; I don't mind constructive critizism but to curtly complain about a trivial detail is a bit rude, don't you think? I would certainly never behave this way to a fellow author.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review ^^
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Missyann Author's Response: Thank you, I'm really glad that you enjoyed it ^^
Author's Response: Thanks ^^: although the story is very sad, I think the tragedy does rather suit the 'fairytale' theme. I'm glad you liked my idea for Severus' animagus form.
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I think, if Severus had the chance, he'd probably attempt to make amends over his behaviour first then, when the time felt right, he might confide in Harry. (Or, possibly, take the cowards way out and just leave his pensieve lying around lol!)
Author's Response: Thanks ^^; Bil wanted a bit of Hermione if possible and I thought writing the first chapter as a story within a story would be a good way of achieving this (as well as enabling me to let slip a few details ^^). I thought the swan would be rather recognisable lol: there's something so dramatic about black swans and ol' Sev is nothing if not dramatic!
Very beautifully written and well done. Great job. :D Author's Response: Thanks. I know, I felt really mean denying Harry and Severus their 'happy ever after' but this felt rather more realistic and, of course, it also tied in with the canon, thereby avoiding loose ends. I'm glad you liked it.
Author's Response: Thank you; I've seen plenty of stories where Harry makes friends with Snape in animagus form but never one where Harry doesn't discover that Snape is (insert animal's name) until it's too late. I thought that it might be interesting to examine this but, of course, that makes for a sad story. I'm glad you enjoyed it. |
