Reviews For Electric Avenue
Author's Response: 5 chapters until chaos completely breaks loose. And Remus told Hermione "no." That was it. But the implications....... Argh! *cackles maniacally*
Author's Response: I love writing Shannon. She's such a fun character and just does not give a shit. She will say it like it is and call you on your bullshit! And oh man has there been some bull at Hogwarts over these past few years! The Remus/Hermione conversation gets wrapped up in the next chapter, no worries. Or worries. Whatever you choose. Remus in the library will be a bit of a recurring thing here for a bit. Including a bit of Remus vs. an early 90's computer. That was fun to write. As for the project, all will be revealed in time. *mystery jazz hands* I imagined Snape having looked up Lily's heritage or used a potion or something back when they were in school and he was hearing all of the 'good' things about purebloods and the 'bad' things about muggleborns. It's very easy to vilify a group of people but say "oh but this one person is fine" and I can definitely see Snape trying his hardest to prove his best friend wasn't what the Slytherins were calling her. Yeah, it was Elias. His eyes darkened up a bit when the potion failed. And as it was lunch time, it puts him in prime 'lucid' territory. But lucid or not, I don't think he'd take finding out he has a fragment of Voldemort's soul in him well. Glad you enjoyed! Next chapter is up!
Author's Response: Hahahah, you should be worried. You should be very worried. We're playing a very delicate balancing act here. As a nurse, I've had patients tell me they are any number of things. My all time favorite was a guy telling me that he was Jesus on Easter Sunday. I wished him Happy Easter (I couldn't resist) and he just snapped "PAGAN HOLIDAY" at me. It was all I could do to not just keel over from laughing so hard. This same guy also claimed to be Nostradamus and that he was the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs. In short, I wouldn't expect anything to come of it. Confused/demented/schizophrenic patients at St. Mungo's probably routinely claim to be Harry Potter. Doctors/Healers effecting peoples moods comes down to two factors 1: is this person a danger to themselves or others and 2: will giving this medication cause more harm than good. In Elias's case, he is routinely trying to do actions which could harm himself or the staff. Biting, hitting, spitting, etc is assault and if other methods of de-escalation have failed (i.e. Healer Tallie keeping him busy with puzzles/coloring pages and sitting in with him to keep him calm) chemical means come next followed by physical restraint. There is a real cascade of techniques being followed here. Once the muscle relaxers are out of his system, there is a much higher chance of him causing damage to himself or others when he gets confused as he is already biting and hitting staff, so the question of will this cause more harm than good definitely comes in here and at this point they don't really know how much Fulgur will be effective in keeping Voldy out. Such a lovely balancing act, yes? More Remus in the next chapter! I think you'll like where the project goes. Or I hope so anyways.
Author's Response: I can't wait for you to see how it gets resolved too! I'm glad you're enjoying this!
Author's Response: Oh you sweet summer child. That wasn't sad. And if ever there was an ominous response, that is it. Glad you enjoyed!
Author's Response: I guess the question is: would you like to see the original version of this story? It is so radically different from this one that there is zero chance of spoilers but it actually does contain deaging, hurt/comfort, and a bunch of people trying to keep secrets from one another while stuck in Snape's house for 14 days under lock and key. It's only like 30 pages long right now, but I'd send it to you if you wanted to read it in its VERY MUCH UNFINISHED state. Yeah, that was what I was thinking too on the deaging, but then I realized I'd have to adjust the levels of all of the other potions he was on an it would 100% mess up the story, so that was a no go. Coming down on the Fulgur would have been the least of their worries. Also, you've inadvertently put a spoiler in your review but I'm not going to say what it is because it's one of those semantic things I keep warning about. Next chapter is up and has more information in it than I care to shake a stick at. I'm glad you're enjoying this!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks! There were a few other stories which fit as well, but I couldn't find the entire text for them and I didn't feel like doing that extensive of research... Oh well, glad you enjoyed.
I love the reviews people leave here they are so interesting and the fact that you take time to answer or comment, thank you for that and of course the story. Author's Response: Yeah, the healing sleep was very much inspired by sedation, though without so much of the paralytic effect that most sedation causes. So he could move, just not well or much because of the all the other potions he was on. Don't worry, I have a plan for Hermione and Ron. And a few other people who have been kinda bebopping around in the background for this entire story. One of which comes up in the next chapter and who has a MUCH HIGHER potential for problem causing. I love the reviews and I do enjoy responding to them, especially when people are so close to figuring out what's going on! There is one particular thing which we're going to be running into in ... (checks notes) ... four chapters which not one person has mentioned but is literally hanging out there and the urge to point it out and scream "look!!! its a major plot point" is so high but it's such a major spoiler that I can't bring myself to do it! I'm just waiting for someone to find it. In short, the reviews give me purpose.
Author's Response: 1: Thank you! I enjoy doing the research and making sure things mesh well with reality and canon. You don't want to know how many tabs I have open at any given time when writing. 2: I'm glad he's awake to, but... you'll see in the next chapter. 3: I know right! Like wtf don't hit kids anyways! Let alone kids with powers! 4: I've loved that pronunciation for a long time and literally cannot read the name with the English pronunciation anymore. Same with the name Julia; 100% pronounce it Yoo-lee-ah like my German friend says it. 5 and 6: His brain may be muddled, but I figure let the kid have at least some memory of the major events of his life. For good and for bad. Didn't think I'd respond to all of it, eh? Well guess what! I did! Hahahaha. Next chapter is up. Enjoy more feels.
Author's Response: Oh, I feel that! I'm a huge sucker for hurt/comfort (if you can't tell from my stories). Next part is up and.... well.... don't get your hopes up on the confusion. |
