Reviews For My Secret Father
Are we ever going to find out what really happened with Sev and Kenai's mother? I don't mean the thing he said about having to pretend to Voldemort that he was dating her, cos obviously there must be more to it than that. There's so many unanswered questions there, you've got me right on the edge of my seat! Oh, and talking of Kenai, are we going to see why he's in Slytherin? Just cos I was noticing in this chapter, you made such a big deal out of showing how uncunning he is, so I was wondering if maybe during his sorting he did the opposite of what Harry did - you know, so he was telling the hat "Not Gryffindor, not Gryffindor" - cos he didn't want to get in trouble with Sev. I could see that, bet it would make a neat parallel. And is there gonna be any more Lily? Obviously not alive, but I mean in dreams and flashbacks and things? I really did love the way you wrote her as all no nonsense and not taking Sev's behaviour. LOL, I bet she'd have something to say about the way he's been acting all these years, right? Wow, I just have so many questions. See what your story does? Hope you update soon! Author's Response: I love to hear insight like this because it tells me what the readers want, what readers are thinking, and the issues I still need to address. See what your comment did to me? I had no intention of addressing the Lily issue or Kenai's mother issue any more than it had been, but apparently I'm going to have to try now (no promises though, what comes out of my fingers comes out onto the page without me thinking about it terribly much... sometimes very late at night and gets posted before I can even think about adding or readdressing issues or editing, lol). I'm not really sure how to address the Lily issue because I somehow see this as a flashback, and I really hate flashbacks. I hate reading them and I never want to write them... I will have to be creative if they speak about her... maybe it will just be a separate chapter, but I don't know yet.
I'm glad I could be somewhat realistic with it all. Unfortunately from being a psych major I know there are many many people out there that are parents like this and it sucks for those kids.
Thanks for your ideas and insight! I'd love to hear from you (and all my reviewers) more!
Author's Response: I'm not sure about the flashback... I don't like reading flashbacks and I'm not sure about writing one either, but perhaps I will try to address the Severus Harry in class issue more, although I thought I had already given examples? I value your feedback anyway and I will think about the dreams although I have other plans in mind for Harry and Voldemort very soon. I really want Severus not to discover about Harry through occlumency at this point because I have other plans for Harry and Severus as well (see, I've already got the end of the story written up).
Thank you very much for your ideas though and I value your opinion. Thanks for reviewing!
An idea, that I'm sure someone has mentioned already, I had was maybe despite the fact that Snape says he'll never know what the journal says He somehow finds out...Harry gives permission, he's too curious, Harry gives it to Snape to read to prove a point, or maybe Kenai reads it and approaches his father? There are other ideas that I can't remember right now. :D |
