Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20 11 Jan 2011
Reviewer: channeling_snape (Signed)
    An excellent chapter. However, I feel compelled to point out that "alright" is a poorly-accepted variant (mis)spelling of "all right". The latter is preferred in formal writing and outside deliberately slangy dialogue.

    Author's Response: Yes, I know - I use it deliberately. But thank you for your concern. :-)

Pulse by Firelye starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 44]
Harry and Severus thought once Voldemort died, they'd finally have the opportunity to live normal lives, preferably far away from each other. However, thanks to a Minister out for revenge, a Death Eater who needs a reality check, and a meddling Headmaster, normal and separate are the last words either could use to describe their next year at Hogwarts as they start their newest adventure as master and apprentice.

    The first half of this chapter is not formatted. It is very difficult to read. If you are able to correct this and resubmit, please do so.

    Author's Response: Thanks, I will jump on that'

    "did not hesitate sharing his feelings" -> did not hesitate TO SHARE his feelings

    "Tthough" => Tsk. Should be "Though."

    “Severus escapes possibly the most unprecedented and invasive stampede through our privacy as a reward for being, on the whole, an arrogant bastard?” =>
    Music to my ears. If not for that meddling old fool...

Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 12 Jan 2011
Reviewer: channeling_snape (Signed)
    "He waived his wand " => WAVED his wand

    "what you planned on doing" => what you planned TO DO
    I do approve of your choice of transfiguration. Munitions to minnow.

    "Yes, more than less,” => Perhaps you meant "more OR less"?

    "A total are study can be longer" => Your intended meaning is indecipherable.

Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 12 Jan 2011
Reviewer: channeling_snape (Signed)
    "reaping havoc" => WREAKING havoc

    "there was no reason to facilitate the grand room" => Facilitate? I think not. Open; utilize; employ; not facilitate.

    "patience stretched like rice paper" => Rice paper is actually quite inelastic. "patience stretched AS THIN AS rice paper" would be more appropriate .

Season of Warmth by Snapegirl starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 250]
Just before Christmas, Harry hears the basilisk again and believes he's going mad. Why else would he hear a voice that no one else can, talking about blood and death? Unable to take the stress, he flees the castle in the middle of a blizzard. Severus Snape follows him and they end up trapped in a cave, along with a very rare creature. Will they survive to see Christmas morning? Will they finally learn to set aside old grudges and impressions and learn the truth about each other? Christmas 2010 fic! Sick!Harry and sick!Severus, AU, mentor/apprentice, COS.

    What, an entire chapter without a magical super-creature driving the action? Well done. Nicely creative curse.

    Do you have a beta? You deviate from the past tense in the second sentence. This must be a new record. As for your supposed Twilight reference, I assure you that this insipid pap and any references thereunto are entirely beneath my notice, and should be beneath yours as well. I suggest you concentrate your efforts upon the more deserving fandom which, you will notice, is the actual subject of this site.

    Author's Response:

    Nope I don't have a beta, will go back and check my tenses, though, this was kind of done in a rush, thank a lot for pointing it out.

    Thanks for the review, don't worry, I'm a twi-hater. Just thought it fun to add this bit in.

    It's refreshing to hear some criticism apart from the praises I've been getting, so thanks for being so forthcoming with the responses.


Victus per Reproba Monumentum by firefly5151 starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 177]
A package is sent to Severus 16 years after Lily's death. Its contents reveal he and Harry have been living a lie. Will they both come to accept the truth and one another or will they continue to live the lie?

    I can make no sense of your title.

    Taking it term by term:

    Victus: living / way of life / diet, food, provision
    Per:
    1.per (+ acc.)  (of space)
    2.per (+ acc.)  (means/instrument)
    3.per (+ acc.)  (cause)
    4.per (+ acc.)  (of time)
    Reproba: second-person singular present active imperative of reprobo
    => reprobo: disapprove/reject/condemn
    Monumentum: memorial or token of remembrance, remembrance

    My way of life is caused by your condemnation of my rembembrance?
    My way of life will cause your rejection of a memorial?

    Please add an author's note with your intended translation of this phrase.

    Author's Response:

    Wow...a review on just my title alone.  I never thought I'd ever see that.  Glad I ditched having Latin chapter titles.  I can only imagine what my reviews would be. LOL 

    The site I used to translate Latin to English gave me the words to my title.

    Victus - living

    Reproba - false

    Monumentum - rememberance

    I'm not good at coming up with titles so I really wanted to translate it to Latin so it would sound better.  It was something like Living with False Memories.


Pawn by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 36]
A fast little read about what happens when Harry isn't aware that someone is listening to him rant.

Finding Parental Care by Melethril starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 88]
Harry understands the meaning of loss. What he doesn't know, is that he also deserves to find.

Title: Chapter 1: Prequel: Loss of Parental Care 11 Jan 2011
Reviewer: channeling_snape (Signed)
    Interesting beginning. If this is just the prologue, I look forward to the rest.

    "Harry waved at them und thought"... should be "AND thought". Is German your usual written language, or is this just a typo?

    Author's Response:

    German is my first language. I'm afraid that 'ist' and 'und' instead of 'is' and 'und' happen every once in a while. But it doesn't happen as often anymore.

    Thanks for reviewing.
