    This is a really good start. Grammar is not too bad, punctuation needs work. If you would like some help with that, I am more than willing to help you. Just let me know.

    Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it.  Yeah, when I said grammar I really meant punctuation.  My English prof was on my case about my lack of knowledge of how to use a comma the entire time I had him.  That was his only problem he really ever had with my writing. 

In My Daughter's Eyes by Nightshade starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 23]
I was bored and was listening to Martina McBride’s In My Daughter’s Eyes when this idea came to me. What if Severus Snape was Alexia Potter: the-girl-who-lived ’s father? And what would happen if he suddenly was forced to raise a six year old girl?

    This is going to be fun...

Title: Chapter 6: Remorse and Revelations 15 Dec 2008
Reviewer: Zarathustra (Signed)
    Bloody Brilliant! I can normally spot some of your plot points, and I had originally thought of Lupin when Silver was introduced, but as his description did not match Lupin, I discarded this guess post-haste. You definately pulled the wool over my eyes - well done!

    In answer to your question, I may enter the christmas story... I've been thinking of something all morning... we'll see.

    Author's Response:

    Ha! I was hoping most of you woouldn't suspect till the end who Silver really was.  That would ruin the surprise.

    Anyhow, you can read the rest of this now, it's been posted.

    Write a Christmas story, Zara, I'm sure it'll be great!

    Loved it!

    Author's Response: Thanks and now I can read yours since my computer is working and my mom's out of the hospital.  Merry Christmas!

Snow Girl & the Sorcerer's Son by Snapegirl starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 240]
When 10-year-old Harry goes on an early morning shopping trip for Severus’s birthday present, he discovers a girl half-frozen in the snow in Diagon Alley. Little does he know that his encounter with the snow girl will change his family forever, for she harbors a secret past and a singular gift that could bring an enemy down upon them all unknowing. Tale partially based on “The Little Match Girl” by Hans Christian Anderson.

Sequel to A Wolf in Winter, part of the Snowy Encounters series.

Reviewer: Zarathustra (Signed)
    Duh, duh, duh duhnh! Excellent so far, I really like the characters - hey, does silver still talk on Xmas eve each year or was that a once off? Just curious.

    Author's Response: Yes, Silver still recieves the gift of human speech every Christmas Eve, as does every animal who requests it from Father Christmas.  Get ready for Lucius, he's coming soon!

Reviewer: Zarathustra (Signed)
    Excellent! I like Healer Sue - now, once we get Holly fixed up we need to find someone for Sev.

    Author's Response: We do indeed, those kids need a mother and Sev could use a good woman.  I'm working on that!
