Reviews For Spring Blues - Aftermath
Author's Response: Your praise goes straight to my heart. It is so rewarding to get credit for one's efforts, and it is a pleasure to share!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, especially that part about the great use of language - because I work really hard to improve my english! The sequel is in acceptable progress, about two-thirds is written already.
Anyway, I enjoyed the story and look forward to Severus' point of view. That sounds like it will be very interesting. Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! Interesting comment on the symptoms of PTSD. I never worked specifically with that kind of patients, so I only have a general idea about how the condition works. Naturally, I made Harry’s condition up as a separate entity of the magical world, but I still meant it to resemble the Muggle condition - there is the depression and the flash-backs (which took form in the paintings) that you’ll recognise. I did not want to make Harry very anguished, however, more sad and exhausted, if you see what I mean. I believe that usually there might be a substantial amount of anxiety involved in PTSD and with that also psychosomatic symptoms which can be very peculiar indeed, in my experience :-) Our bodies are experts in expressing what our minds refuse to acknowledge. Harry’s numbness has something of that and it is also an image of the emotional depletion that he suffers from. In my mind Harry is somehow beyond fear and anxiety, having lived through so much horror.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing - I love to get response on my texts (as we all do, I suspect).
Author's Response: Great! Thank you! I'm currently writing on the sequel and believe it will be posted towards the end of summer.
Author's Response: Thanks a lot! |
