Reviews For Blood Magic
Even though I've read the story before...several times, I'm still enjoying it, and since it's been just long enough since I've read it last, I am still surprised by little events that I'd forgotten about, so it keeps the suspense going. Author's Response: Honestly, this story is so long and so involved that the first time I reread it, I came across scenes I'd forgotten. This repost I'm reading some of my email threads with atropos-lee (my beta and britpicker), and they are well worth it. We'd go back and forth trying to get the perfect British equivalent for what I meant, or she'd send comments about staging (her background is in screenwriting), and I'd totally redo an encounter. There are subtleties of regional dialect that I'd incorporated but only half remembered, and then the occassional place where she'd told me to just go with something because she felt it was okay for that character. We once spent a week comparing the hierarchy of British and American insults.
Author's Response: I think if there was a simple "don't tell anyone this" charm, it would get a lot of use! But yes, things general get worse when Harry tries to hide things from his friends; Severus, though, is used to everything being a secret. It's how he knows how to handle things. |
