Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2: James' Reaction 20 Nov 2009
Reviewer: Ramelia (Signed)
    Uuh! Things get a bit more complicated! Nice! More drama, more! :) I'm so looking forward to what happens next! (Note to self: less exclamation marks. Do not get so excited, even if the story IS exciting. Very much so.)

    I must say, I've never thought of co-authoring a story with another writer, for the sole reason that it seems to me extremely encumbering to take into account another's views and ideas where my brain-child is concerned. :) But... you've managed to recreate the voice of the first chapter wonderfully, and there's no disparity between the writing styles. I applaud you on that! Good job! :)

    Author's Response:

    Thanks! It's a comliment that you're so excited over this.

    Thanks so much! We collborated a lot when we wrote each chapter so they meshed properly. Luckily, we have similar styles and views. It's actually more fun than work.

Reviewer: Ramelia (Signed)
    Ha ha! Deage James and give him a spanking? Severus, you wish! :)

    Author's Response: Yes, he does. It would be poetic justice, LOL!

Reviewer: Ramelia (Signed)
    Remus and Narcissa? Well, this truly is a very AU story. ;) On the other hand... *pats Remus on the head for having the common sense not to spend time with James* and *pats Narcissa on the head for not being a stuck-up Pureblood*

    Good job on this chapter! I really enjoyed Remus and his little family. But - where's the rest of the story? *whine* Yes, it's a shameless plea for more. :)

    Author's Response:

    We really went for an AU pairing here but we think it works really well.

    More has been posted and we hope you like it!

Title: Chapter 1: Half-Life 20 Nov 2009
Reviewer: Ramelia (Signed)
    That was... 'cruel' is the word that comes to mind. Just like life and all those heart-wrenching choices one is compelled to make. Save one at the cost of another...

    Insightful. Realistic. Haunting.

    Author's Response:

    It is rather cruel, but then again, so is life at times.  I wanted to use the idea of how something can go wrong when someone least expects it and change the person's whole life.  I'm glad you enjoyed my writing; thanks for the compliments.

    -P.G.

    Lovely. My favourite part was Harry's interest in poor Fawkes and his 'duck man'. Funny little story, but I was terribly saddened at the abuse Harry had suffered; it definitely brought down my mood several degrees. But at least there's a happy ending. :) Well done!

Past Featured Story Forced Confessions by Scorpia starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 46]

    I certainly wouldn't want to be in Harry's shoes. Poor thing, blabbing out everything... Snape was well in character, and his last line was the perfect way to end the story. :)

    Good job on this one!

    Author's Response: Oh, I wouldn't either, poor Harry. At least Snape wasn't too bad, eh? Thank you for reviewing!

Reviewer: Ramelia (Signed)
    I stared at that "Wheee!" at the beginning for a full minute... before bursting out laughing. :D It totally put me in a mood for Snape doing all those ridiculous things afterwards. And even though he and Harry did come off as OOC, I enjoyed this little story immensely. Thanks! :)

    Author's Response: *evil grin* Thank you! Mila

Title: Chapter 1: There's No Wrong Way 25 Nov 2009
Reviewer: Ramelia (Signed)
    That was... quite strange. I had a hard time imagining Voldemort destroying himself just because he was annoyed with Snape, and Snape on his part confessing to Harry of all people that he had a phobia. However, even though Snape did feel a bit OOC, his interaction with Harry was still very canon-like. And I loved the fact that, for once, Harry wasn't the intimidated little boy, but really stood up for himself.

    I must say that the whole going from phobia to addiction thing was very clever and extremely funny. The last line got me laughing out loud. :)

    Well done.

    Author's Response:

    Well, Voldy wouldn't do that for real, but as a parody, it seems to work. Haven't you ever read that fic - I don't recall the title right off, but it's up there with "My Immortal" - where Harry "one day decided to buy a gun and shoot Voldemort" or similar language? That's what was going through my mind when I gave the Wizarding world peace in one paragraph. Goodness, that cracked me up. :o)

    The inspiration for Snape's ordeal, including that last line, was Shel Silverstein's "Peanut-Butter Sandwich." Actually, I'd recommend any of his poems if you need a lift. Thanks for reviewing!


Title: Chapter 1: There's No Wrong Way 27 Nov 2009
Reviewer: Ramelia (Signed)
    Ha. Now I've read it the second time through and actually KNOW it's a parody (I think it was in 'General' when I first read it); so, couldn't resist reviewing again, because... I've been enlightened. *sings gospels and speaks in tongues* Guess I should've realized earlier. Shame on me. I really do miss the big picture sometimes.

    Anyway. I love parodies, especially ones that do not turn into caricatures. Like this one: minimal usage of hyperbole, it's still hilarious, and it's still compliant with canon, as far as Snape's relationship with Harry goes.

    Very, very nice. Loved the satire.

    Author's Response:

    Oh, you're right; it did go up under "General" before I went in and edited. I agree that parodies which go too far, to the point where the dialogue is almost slapstick-silly, aren't enjoyable. To me, it's more fun when everything's normal except for a few well-worn cliches, like Snape being pregnant in "The Rapture of Canon." Thanks for coming back and reviewing!


Not Quite So Terrible by Leilia Snape starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 26]
Harry has been de-aged and guess who has to take care of him? Entrant in the 2009 Prompt Fest. Prompts: 'Would you care to explain why you appear to be kidnapping my familiar, Mr. Potter?' and Boggart Under the Bed

Reviewer: Ramelia (Signed)
    Oh, very cute. This screams for a continuation, though. Maybe something about how Snape's relationship with his student has changed, after Harry grows up again?

    And I loved Snape's cat! Since it has a name with a background, I would've loved to see it protect Harry from the Ripper-Boggart. :) Ah, well.

    Nicely done!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much for reviewing, and for being the first reviewer!

    I'm so happy that you liked the story. ;-}

    I'm trying to come up with some ideas for further chapters, and get them typed up... ;-}

     

    I'm glad that you liked Misto. Yeah, one of my betas said something about that. I tried to have him do a little bit, but I see that i could have done more. I kinda introduced him and then forgot about the poor little guy. Sorry Misto. *Pets small furball.* I actually got the name from the musical Cats. I can see Lily reading the book and either telling Severus about it or making him read it too. ;-}
