About me:

Caramello was the name that a kid from my first grade class called me, as my real name is pronounced Kara (not Kira) and is just spelled differently. No one has called me that since, but I have a fondness for the candybar regardless :)

There's not much to say about me other than I clearly love reading these stories. I tend to lean towards child-stories or stories where Snape adopts Harry. Biological father is cool too, but it's always irriated me (I'm not sure when) when Harry has glamour charms removed. I inevitiably still think of him as looking like I always pictured him to. Any and all story suggestions are welcome my way - I'm always searching for something new that I can read and love while waiting for the next chapter in other well-loved series.

I used to write a lot, but haven't written so much in the last few years, and nothing that is able to be posted on this site - however, I love the editing process as well, and I'm one of Aspeninthesunlight's beta's, and I'm willing to look over anything anyone would like me to. I do have a tendency to speak my mind and pick through stories pretty thoroughly, so if you tend to be sensitive about constructive criticism, I might not be your ideal beta.

    Awww! How cute! Nice way to add in the "de-aging" without needing to work an entire story around it. I liked it very much. It was an adorable spin on the snowball challenge :)

    Wow. I actually really liked this story. A lot. It's different, and kinda like a guilty pleasure in the way you get to write about Harry being lost and having people look for him, and being so loved by both Severus and Sirius -- but that's what made it so good to me, lol. I was clinging onto every word. I hope to see you write more of it soon -- I absolutely loved it. Great job!

Reviewer: Caramello (Signed)
    I have to admit I lost interest half way through and mostly skimmed to the end of the story, but I thought I would still give you a review. It's not a flame in anyway, because I did honestly enjoy it until I started to lose interest. I don't think it was anything about your writing or the story that caused that, I just grew bored with the idea after awhile. A few things I wanted to point out that I liked was how Snape transfigured the bed for Harry -- that was very kind of him, teacher or not. It shows that he at least has an ounce of caring for Harry. I also liked the "making use of the many available vials" comment, haha. That was a good one. I come from a family of many boys, save myself, and I can't tell you how many times I've heard that one used before. It was so natural and perfect -- too bad Snape couldn't have charmed a bathroom out of nowhere, huh? I also liked the tidbit about Snape's mother being French. I was confused as to whether or not you implied that in your story Snape himself was from France, that his family lived there, or if it was just his mother, but either way, I liked that fact about his childhood and how he was able to tell Harry to go to hell without him knowing it, haha. Priceless. I do have to admit I was a bit taken back by Dobby's apparel -- he's one strange house elf that's for sure, lol, but it made me laugh.

    Author's Response: Thanks! ^_^ I love your honesty - in future I'll have to do something more to keep you entertained ... and put into the right context that could sound really dodgy, but meh, take it as you will. Thanks again for taking the time write such a thorough review, it's really apprecited!

Title: Chapter 18: I Want Bobba! Losing the Battle 15 Jan 2007
Reviewer: Caramello (Signed)

    I read this the other day and I thought I had reviewed it. I've been sick this week and out of sorts -- I saw this story again today and was trying to figure out HOW I knew it... it wasn't until I saw the title of the last chapter that I realized what it was and took a glance at the reviews... only to see I never left one :( Sorry about that.

    This was a really good chapter. You definitely write his age very well, so kudos to you! I can't wait to see another chapter and I hope you find the time to write again soon.


Title: Chapter 24: Double Trouble 30 Aug 2007
Reviewer: Caramello (Signed)
    Hahaha. Poor little Harry. He's finally got some due attention and... almost-love, and now he feels threatened. Poor child. But I love it. It's so real. You can feel his little frustrations, and that he's almost at his breaking point. It's awesome.

    This should definitely be interesting - Tommy the "good" kid and Harry the "bad" one.

    Btw, I'm probably really dumb, but I never ever caught the Rugrats connection until now. Of course, I DID think of Rugrats with the last name of Pickle, but I didn't connect the Tommy part... Very nice, I must say :) One of my absolute favorite shows as a kid.

Reviewer: Caramello (Signed)
    Oh man, now you've got me even more curious. Little Harry is very sneaky, lol. This ought to be really interesting at least. I do hope you have some more time to update on the quicker side ;)

    Great job

    You know, this was a definite original spin on the 'Occlumency side-effects' stories out there. I liked it. I thought that it maybe could've been made a little more believable, by another family having been Harry's real family, but you still made it work well and I liked it :) I do wonder why Snape never brought up the adoption issue before, but maybe he simply didn't know about the blood wards. Anyway, it was good and I look forward to reading more of your work soon!

    Keira

    Author's Response: Thanks!  And no, Snape didn't know.  Dumbledore plays things pretty close to the chest and doesn't tell anyone everything.

A Potions Accident by Arualcopia starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 141]
A slight twist to the usual deaging stories. What if the accident created a gas? What if it affected the entire class? How does Snape deal with fifteen toddlers?

Title: Chapter 5: Nursery School, Part 2 06 Sep 2007
Reviewer: Caramello (Signed)
    Oh man, this has a few of my favorite lines ever:

    “You two are going to be really embarrassed when you re-age,” Severus pointed out.

    and

    For the next hour, Severus got to listen to Harry as he showed the photos off to Draco. At least Harry was smart enough to not bring the blasted photos to show him. Or...
    “Look, Sev’vus,” Harry said, pulling on his robe sleeve, “dat’s baby Harry. An –”
    Severus groaned.

    I seriously love your story so much. It is by far the best de-aging story out there. Bar-none. I really do hope you find the time and drive to write another chapter before TOO long :) They make me laugh and feel all happy.

    Great job!

    This has some promise! It's quite an unusual idea for a story, so I'm excited to see where it goes from here. I think you portrayed Harry's stasis and Snape's ... reaction to the stasis (getting him to feel the cupboard) was pretty accurate. My little brother was in a similar trance once, after being hit by a car, and only woke out of it once he was strapped down to the stretcher. Kinda scary to wake when you can't move. Anyway, I look forward to another chapter. Good job!

    Keira



    Author's Response: I'm glad you thought the cupboard but was fairly accurate.  That's actually one of my favourite bits of the chapter.  Thanks so much for your kind words.

Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 09 Feb 2007
Reviewer: Caramello (Signed)
    I read your story yesterday while at work and I just saw it again today and realized I still needed to leave you a review. I enjoyed reading this story. It's a fresh twist on the Sevitus idea, isn't it? There were a few scenes that didn't play out how I think logically would, such as particular things that were said or done, but it was still a sweet read. I think everything that was addressed was appropriate for the circumstances, I think you definitely have the potential to do it a little differently. If you wanted to, that is. I look forward to more chapters, I really like the idea. When I first saw the title I thought that maybe sign language would be incorporated, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Which is totally fine by me, lol.

    Good job!

    Keira

    Author's Response:

    I'm curious about which scenes you think didn't play out logically...feel free to shoot me an email, it may help me improve :)   And you're not off about your initial instincts regarding the title.  But that's all I'll say.

     

    Thanks for the review!
