    This was a charming story! Thanks for writing.

Past Featured Story A Year Like None Other by aspeninthesunlight starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 442]
A letter from home sends Harry down a path he'd never have walked on his own. A sixth year fic, this story follows Order of the Phoenix and disregards any canon events that occur after Book 5. Spoilers for the first five books. Have fun!

    I have easily read over a hundred Harry Potter fics and A Year Like None Other is my 5th favorite Harry Potter fic of all time (I have a list!). Whenever anyone asks for a Severitus fic, this is the fic that I ALWAYS recommend. I absolutely loved this fic.

    When I was reading this fic, I talked about it CONSTANTLY to my husband. He got curious and read it as well. He has been reading HP fanfiction ever since. This was the fic that got him started.

    Your Snape was absolutely spot on perfect. It had to be the best I've ever read and I judge all Snape characterizations in fanfiction by yours here. I loved the inclusion of Draco and his relationship with Harry. Excellent work!

    I really enjoyed this story! I liked that their relationship took some work on both of their parts instead of just everything being okay as soon as Severus saw how bad Harry's childhood was. Your way was much more realistic. Nice job!

To Have a Father by Crystal Cove starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 264]

    I can not believe someone so young wrote this great story. I thought you did a terrific job.

    I thought you did a very good job with Snape's character. A lot of authors have a hard time writing his speech and action nuances and I thought you did really well here. Harry was good but a bit mature. Sirius was charming as well as the world you created in the little town they lived in.

    Your premise gets an A++ for originality. This story could've gone in another direction as well. Harry could've gone back to his reality with the knowledge of what he knows (and Snape as well since he was there too) and build a relationship with Snape in his reality. Or - plot twist - Harry learns he is actually Snape's son in his reality because similar events happened except for Snape/Lily's marriage and that Snape knew Lily was carrying his child. Ah well. :)

    Thanks for writing! I hope you continued to develop your skills over the years because you are a talented writer!

Cry by Fatglamour starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 97]
Severus Snape was fully prepared to hate Lily Potter's son. That was, before, the Sorting Hat cast them into a nightmare. It was only the beginning of a world gone mad.

    I loved this story! Why?

    1 - Protective!Snape (my favorite!!!)
    2 - Powerful!Harry (another favorite! Wish we could've seen more of this)
    3 - Draco & Hermione - Dramionarry is something I LOVE so I love stories where the 3 of them are friends
    4 - Snily (Down with James Potter!!!!!)
    5 - The plot takes place in the canon timeline BUT is not a canon regurgitation. I can not tell you how many stories I've read that have taken place 1st-7th year and the fic is a direct copy, plotwise, to the books, including chunks of dialog directly copied from the book into the fic!!! Sure in this story the kids went into the Forbidden Forest and went to the stone in the end BUT what happened in the forest and with the stone played out much differently than in the book. Besides, all the other canon stuff was skipped or just mentioned after the fact (troll in the dungeon, Harry's bucking broom, Harry finding the Mirror of Erised, etc.) I'm not sure what your review naysayers were talking about there in regards to the canon plot. I thought you did a great job with working within the confines of what happened 1st year while developing an interesting and original plot.

    If you ever decide to pick up this series again, I would certainly read it!

    Thanks for writing!

    I loved it. I left a longer review at FF net. This story was amazing! I'm so glad I found it!

No Difference by Attackfish starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 192]
After Harry talks to Dumbledore in Deathly Hallows, he takes a little detour to Spinner’s End, back before it was Snape’s house, back when it belonged to a woman named Eileen Prince. Snape couldn’t be angrier that Harry is his father.

    I really liked the story. I thought this reverse Severitus was very original! I do want to say that Harry shouldn't have married Ginny though! lol Thanks for writing. I'm going to see if I can find more stories like this.

    Author's Response: I mean that's your oppinion about Ginny, but at this point, not to be rude, but I can't bring myself to care.

Vows by Zarathustra starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 278]

    I really enjoyed the story. I thought your characterizations were done really well and the plot was good too. I loved Draco's inclusion in the family. That was a really nice touch.

    But honestly the best thing about this fic was that it did NOT rehash canon! I loved how canon events inspired the plot of your story but you still maintained a good level of creativity. Very nice job there. Off to read the sequel!

Know Thyself by wellyuthink starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 382]
As the clock strikes midnight on Harry Potter's fourteenth birthday, the reflection of a strange boy appears in Harry's window. What unusual news does he bring? And why does this stranger appear to be none other than Harry himself?

    I enjoyed the story. The concept of Shadow was interesting. I liked how Harry accepted Snape as his dad and didn't go through an angry/angsty phase like he does it a lot of similar fics. Thanks for writing.
