Reviews by Cecilia Farrell

Your Basic Nightmare by Foolish Wishmaker starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 48]
A Severitus written in a series of 100-word scenes. Warnings: bad language, friendly Slytherins, unfriendly Gryffindors (so far), more than a few cliches. Inspired by Bil's Drabble Challenge. Some word counts may be off because the site sees some formatting options as words. I'm not sure why some are counted as less than 100. Counting actual words, every chapter is exactly 100 words.

    You wouldn't think you'd be able to convey so much in so little words, but its right to the point, short and sweet and some how it seems as though if i was any longer it wouldn't be as good. I love it, its fantastic!!! please update soon

A Different Brand of Vengeance by Wooster starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 76]
There are many forms of vengeance. It can be just as satisfying to return cruelty with kindness as to return cruelty with equal cruelty...and sometimes it can be more dangerous and more insidious to do so. Faced with an eleven-year-old Harry Potter, Severus Snape has a decision to make: How does he like his vengeance?

Past Featured Story Growing Pains by Snapegirl starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 522]
The sequel to Never Again!

Things are going well for the Snape family, after the near disasters of the past year, except for a few minor mishaps. But when Harry meets two new Muggleborn witches in his primary school, one of whom has a mother Sev decides to date, Harry must realize that he’s not the only person in his father’s life anymore. And so, like any child, he must go through the sometimes frustrating, occasionally funny, and totally bewildering process of growing up, with help from Tobias, of course.

    DUm dum dum, poor Harry. The statue idea was great, not too sentimental just right i think. God your popping these chapters out fast not sure that your human!!!lol. Not complaining though. :oD

    Author's Response: Oh good, because I racking my brains for a good present that Tobias could give to Severus and that's what I came up with.  I have a thing for handmade stuff, I love making it for people and having some made for me, I think it makes everything seem so special.  And I know I write really fast, LOL!

The Heir to Prince Manor by Snapegirl, DaughterOfAres starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 828]

Reviewer: Cecilia Farrell (Signed)
    You have an astonishing imagination. The idea of a house being concealed by mists, the medallion key and the fairae realm, genius! Can't wait for the next installment.

    Author's Response: Thanks, I like to try and do different things with both the characters and the world they inhabit, it makes for more interesting writing....and reading too!

Title: Chapter 5: In the Lair of the Snakes... 25 May 2008
Reviewer: Cecilia Farrell (Signed)
    The way that you've portrayed Snape here as the head of house reminds me a lot of how other authors have portrayed him. However there is always the danger of slipping OOC, especially as JKR doesn't show us in the books how Snape interacts with his #snakes#. I'm not sure that Snape would act this way, particulary laughing openly, and hugging students and the like. I always thought Snape would be the type to instill values of pride and integrity into his Snakes, probably as a practical measure to prevent his house turning into a pit of vibers. But i've never seen him as an overtly tactile or emotional person, he'd rather keep an eye on them or hint that they can speak to him, but never be blantly sentimental or openly show his softer emotions, the blokes a spy!
    However i can see what your doing in setting up and establishing the character so you have a particular 'Snape' interacting with Harry later.
    I'm always very wary of the whole 'exchange student from America' idea as it changes the whole pathos of the school, but your doing well so far. :) Working like a plot bunny ten to the dozen, lol. Keep up the good work.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review, Cecilia. I'm glad you think I'm doing well on the 'student exchange' thing. :)

    And, yeah, I am trying to get a particular Snape going her. I'm trying not to fall into the trap of 'Oh, he's an evil snarky git, but he finds out he has a son and then he's all nice!'

    People don't change their spots overnight, so I'm trying to show that he isn't always evil. *ducks flying jars of frog tongues thrown at her by Sevvy-poo* lol.

    Thanks so much for the review, Cecilia. You're the greatest!

    -Elise

Reviewer: Cecilia Farrell (Signed)
    Ohh bad Mrs. Weasley bad! maybe she's under the imperious and only turns on him when he feels sorry for himself??? He's practically a Weasley so i can't imagine her doing that to one of her own, or even to any other... my interest is definitely piqued in regards to the Dursleys and whether your;ll be bringing them into the picture? Ohhhh and then there's Ginny... quite an enigma you've woven there, meant to be a slytherin all along, that means cunning, clever and from what Snape says 'abused', six brothers, one father, mother? could throw in a possible creapy uncle?
    I guess the first chapter sets the precedent, this is not going to be a happy fic! Not a very good move on Dumble's side to put the saviour of the wizarding world into the pit of vipers, many of whom's parents, siblings and relative's are death eaters, and who's head of house is his number two,(i wonder where your going to go on that side as well- Snape evil or good?) Oh the possibilities are endless, can't wait for the next chapter, please update soon.

    Author's Response: Haha, your review is packed with questions! I love it! There's certainly a story behind Mrs. Weasley's behavior. I haven't quite decided if the Dursley's will make another appearance yet, I think that will be decided when I write out the chapter where Harry finally tells Snape about them. As for Ginny, she's an interesting character as well, she's really going to bring the story around so it all makes sense. (Or, that's the plan, anyways. =D) And no, this is definately going to be an angsty fic, but it'll have it's better moments, as well. As to the Slytherins/Snape, well,, that'll be seen to shortly. Thanks again. -August Sky
