About me:

Hi all,

I'm Lisa and I've read too many excellent fics on here not to be inspired enough to write my own and be part of this brilliant society of aspiring authors ^-^.  I love almost anything if it's well-written and firmly believe Snape and Harry should have had for more book-time... well, Snape... I think Harry had enough ^-^ but I'll settle for the multitude of fics in which they have the relationship they should have, both being so similar and all.  I have to admit I love the sappy fluffy stuff more than I should though... but that's just me ^-^ (beware of fluff in my own work ^-^)

I'll try to be original but I'm of the opinion that similar storylines can be written by different people to become something wholly unique because writing styles to me are like snow flakes (or something equally poetic ^-^).

As to my house... well as the quote from one of my favourite fics goes, "those that tended to escape reality in books gravitated toward Ravenclaw" and that's summed me up my entire life ^-^

I'm a bit whimsy but quite friendly and more than happy to chat, though I'll try not to bug people with an inbox full of adoring reviews... no matter how awesome their writing may be. 

Thanks for visiting ^-^

Have fun x

Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    Aww, so very very cute!!! I love your Draco - the seriously abused versions of him that are out there are just so far from canon but yours is perfect and so cute with Harry and Hermione... just awww... and sorry about Maddie, that's always hard and dedicating something you've written to her is lovely.

Remember by LiveAtLast starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 64]

    Oh poor poor Harry, I felt sick just reading it, on the bright side your descriptions are really fantastic! Full of emotion and physical feelings and very very good... and really gross... sorry ^^
    At least Snape is trying, in his way... I can only hope he finds himself a bit more invested as time passes though, especially in dealing with something so awful... maybe to go castrate Lockhart ^^ - Cant wait for the worst to be over.

Forget-Me-Not by Sa-kun starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 58]
Everyone seems to have forgotten that the Boy-Who-Lived exists. Harry's friends don't remember who he is. It's a struggle for Harry to hold on to reality as he knows it, while at the same time coming to terms with who he really is. He finds Snape an unexpected ally in the struggle that ensues to reclaim his identity. 6th year AU. (Harry is gay)

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 02 Dec 2010
Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    I couldnt possibly put into words just how amazingly gorgeously brilliant this fic is - Zabini sucks, Malfoy's... fascinating, Harry's just so vulnerably gorgeous and your Snape is so REAL... I've never ever read a Snape that seemed like so much of a whole, real person before, you've written him so well ^^ - I'm really loving this and the protectiveness that Harry needs so badly and is getting in small doses makes me feel all warm and squiggly... he's having a crap time of his lovelife though huh? Zabini is such an ass... as is Charlie... and all of Gryffindor... really looking forward to eventually finding out why they're being so weird too... *sigh* I love this fic ^^

Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 10 Dec 2010
Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    Awww my heart feels all warm and achy and tingly... you sprained my heart! That was just the most gorgeousest chapter of all the gorgeous chapters Ive ever read...
    I think the way you're writing this is perfect and so intriguing, there's no danger that anyone could stop reading half way through... personally I feel like I just have to find out all those strategically missing little gaps of information that keep the curiosity rolling from chapter to chapter. And Snape's history with Lily just became that much more interesting too, why did he change Harry's nappies - the cutest of mental images btw ^^ - and what is Malfoy playing at...I cant help thinking he cant be being too malicious when it comes to Harry but then I was foolish enough to think Charlie and Zabini might be nice too... I like how well you're balancing the cute, more-ish fluffy moments where everything works out with those other, less kind moments where people are just abusing Harry's trust... it makes it all feel very real and that is rare and only found in the best fics.

    Cant wait for more.

    "You are a very precious boy." - I swear my heart melted ^^

Title: Chapter 14: New Orleans, part I 02 Mar 2011
Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    That was so awesomeness ^^ I'm really looking forward to reading part two of this little trip, I just love the way you write and the incredibly original ideas you have, this story is so brilliant for it - I couldn't resist reading this first part when I should have been working on my assignment but I think now I'll actually do some work and save part two for later ^^
    Hope to read much more very soon... because I'm greedy like that ^^
    xo

Title: Chapter 15: New Orleans, part II 07 Mar 2011
Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    Hahaha, oh, thank you hugely for that wonderful piece of hilarity at the end... picturing their faces has put me in a wonderful mood ^^
    Awesome chapter as always, this is fast becoming one of my most favourite of fanfics, I'm always checking to see if you've updated and read each chapter multiple times because truly, they are just that good and I'm just that addicted ^^
    Hehehe, sorry, I still cant get over how funny that last part was ^^ - you're doing such a good job, I hope you continue soon ^^
    Have fun xo

Not A Freak by lastcrazyhorn starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 81]
Okay, you've convinced me. Sequel to Freaks Aren't Allowed. This is a series of one shots designed to fill in some of the blanks between Harry's first year with Snape and his first year at Hogwarts. Childfic. Fluff.

    Awwwww! I'm loving this and Im so glad that you're continuing this fic cos these two are just too cute not to ^^ Cant wait for more ^^

Title: Chapter 3: Sick Day (Age 5) 03 Dec 2010
Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    Aww! That was more aww than the last chapter... which was pretty bloody awww ^^... I honestly cant think of anything I'd rather see those two doing other than cuddling and singing and being cute which you are so very good at writing ^^
    ... awww! (I have that song in my head now too, loved your lyrics ^^)

    Author's Response: Awww.  ;)  I've always liked that lullabye.  And of course, when I thought to put it in there, my next thought was, "Wait, would Severus sing something like THAT???"  Well, the answer is that he would . . . sort of.  lol

Title: Chapter 5: Good Enough For Me 10 Dec 2010
Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    The snake had spoken.

    Haha I like that. Well, if Silandra thinks he smells nice who's Sev to argue the point... Very cute chapter... cant imagine what Sev must have been thinking at certain points - I know if I had a nine year old and a two headed snake wrapped around his person I wouldnt be quite so level headed ^^
    Very cute, looking forward to more ^^

    Author's Response: Yeah.  Plus, with colors like Silandra's, she's probably poisonous too!

Magic Actually by Sita Z starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 57]
In his first year at Hogwarts, Harry is the only Gryffindor who signs up to stay at school for Christmas. At Dumbledore’s suggestion, he is temporarily transferred to the Slytherin dorms so he won’t spend Christmas morning alone. In Severus Snape’s opinion, not one of the Headmaster’s better ideas…

Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    I love this, especially the ending. Its as if we got to look in at the story and at the end Sev closes the door and tells us to bugger off because we're getting too close to sentimentality - it just suits the entire feel of the fic so much, very beautifully written and such a gorgeous idea.
    I hope you have a very happy and safe Christmas and New Year :)
