Reviews For The Summer We Went Mental
Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback. Great to hear you are looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Howdy, rusulka7! I am so glad you did give this a try. I knew that the dark theme warnings would scare a few people away, but I didn't want to just put no warnings because it is a very dark story in places, especially considering a lot of the lighter content on this site. It is wonderful to know that you were hooked anyway, and that you feel the portrayal of the dark moments is handled realistically. Yes, it will be nice to see Harry and Snape improve! Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: Hi Lili! Thanks so much for the kind words!
Author's Response: Hey, great to hear you're liking it so much! Also nice to hear you enjoyed Hagrid's scenes. Those were a bit difficult to write. Yeah, those two are a mess. Well, who knows what can happen with time though?
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! It is nice to know you are enjoying it, and liked the scenes with Hagrid. Your words certainly brightened my day!
Author's Response: Good to hear you're intrigued. Thanks for the feedback.
Author's Response: Great to hear! Another chapter will be up Sunday. Thanks so much for the review!
Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the great chapter -- it’s dangerously captivating, and literally awesome. And I mean every word. :) I might be completely wrong with this, but I sensed a bit of a 19th century literary style in Snape’s inner thoughts, especially in the first few lines. Anyway, he must be pretty ahead on his descent into madness, because I’m sure a mentally healthy Severus would be ashamed of (and angry with) himself for breaking down like that, for appearing weak in front of another person, whoever be the witness. As for Harry, he seems more okay-ish, but then again, physical self harm might just be a different route to the same pit… I can’t wait for the update! Author's Response: Howdy Annora! Awesome to hear your thoughts! You are most welcome for the chapter, and thank you so much for the long, detailed review. Hmm, 19th century literary style - yeah, I can see that! Haha, it's funny how sometimes books I am reading influence my writing! I've read a lot of old poetry and such (and write lots of poetry myself) so it isn't all that surprising it bleeds through. Ah yes, and Harry. Next to Snape he does look okay, doesn't he? Harry suffers from one of those issues that makes a person look mostly okay and feel okay a lot of the time, but the trouble is that it's those few times where the anger gets dangerous and the urge to feel pain gets too strong that really makes things difficult. Easy to pretend everything is all right, but really, it isn't. So yes, he does seem okay-ish - and that's what Harry is strugging with too, admitting he has a problem! Thanks again for your thoughts, and I can't wait to update too! Next week, alas.
Author's Response: Hey Jan! Great to hear that you thought it was amazing! Hmm, is Remus planning something - that is the question, is it not? Good deduction! I am so pleased you enjoyed the part with Severus and Albus. Originally I only had this story from Harry's POV and had him find out why Snape was there about half-way through, but I really wanted to write Snape's struggles out. So I'm glad you enjoyed that scene. I really loved writing it. Thanks for reviewing, Jan! Cheers! |
