Reviews For Spiral of Trust
Author's Response: Thanks! I'll develop some of the concepts further but will, however, avoid introducing too many new things, as I think there is a point where it becomes too much - it is, after all, the relationships and the characters that are most interesting to explore... but, with a scientific background, I cannot resist the temptation to do a little theory from time to time :-) I'm glad you appreciate!
Author's Response: I reckon Hagrid can be quite pigheaded if he wants to :-)
BTW Is the Self harm warning already past or does that come up later? Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! The self-harm warning refers mostly to chapter 3 (and 13) and no character in this story will develop any kind of repetitive self-harm behaviour. I admit it is a minor warning (compared to a lot of other stories that I have now read), but I put it there just to be sure. In Harry’s case the self-harm was provoked by a desperate situation. I don’t deny that Harry has issues with anxiety (how can he not have, with what he has been through?) but in this story Harry finds other ways of dealing with the anxiety. In a few chapters, for the second part, the story will turn slightly darker. Further on in the story Harry will be hurt, but it will be due to external circumstances, and not his own doing. So, yes, to answer your question, I guess that the warnings for self-harm and suicide are done and over with.
Author's Response: Thanks! An update is coming in only a few days :-)
Author's Response: Thank you! It was lovely to be able to show Snape and Harry in a scene - if only for a short while - where they didn't shout at and insult each other...
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm quite fond of the concept myself. I will develop it further in the story.
Author's Response: Healer Schufflert’s set up with the group sessions is indeed deplorable and you’re not the only one who reacted to this. I’m trying to show that sometimes, in response to a traumatic event, people (including responsible adults) don’t think clearly and - despite having good intentions - go about things in the wrong way. Also, Healer Schufflert might just be one of those slightly megalomaniac therapists that unfortunately exist, also in the magical world… (among extremely considerate and professional ones, of course). She’s probably honoured by the task and eager, perhaps, to prove herself, to a point where she loses sight of the pupils best interests…
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, that gentle character of his makes him suitable to become a healer, doesn't it? And then he has that "save people" thing...
I'm still a bit negative towards Snape, but boy is he an engaging character! :-) His threat to expel Harry right off the bat was in character for Snape, but still makes me want to kick him in the nads. Author's Response: Snape's character is so full of contradictions. It's a delightful challenge to try to make him out :-)
Author's Response: I'm glad that you did - I'm kind of fond of the concept myself :-) |
