Reviews For Reading the Signs
Author's Response: The next chapter is definitely in the works and already planned out. I'm so glad you liked it :)
Honestly, I must have read every chapter a dozen times. I love all the Sev/Harry moments. There really isn't much else for me to say. Please update soon. Author's Response: Aww thanks. It means a lot. Soon, I swear :)
Author's Response: I'm happy you like Snape's response. I wanted it to be a very important moment, but not too out of character. The next chapter is already being written, so hopefully soon!
Author's Response: That's exactly it. Nicely put!
Loved this chapter...you're yanking our heartstrings now! Thanks! Author's Response: Heh, glad you liked it!
I also really love how your story is kind of introducing signs to me. I was watching a movie the other day in which people were signing and I was trying to catch some of the signs I recognized from your story. Do you know sign language or do you have some resource for all these signs? Thanks for the lovely, eventful chapter! Author's Response: I kept Harry's signs very basic, because true signing is a language all its own, with sentence structure and all sorts of stuff that I know nothing about. So I lept it to just single words that wouldn't require an extensive understanding. It's all true British Sign Language though, which is similar in some ways from American Sign Language, but different in others. For example, the sign for father is quite different. So I used a bunch of different British Sign Language sites to help me out. Thanks for your comments!
Author's Response: "Speechless" and "I love it" works fine for me, lol. Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: I've always loved to write, and writing about characters you love is just the cherry on top, really. I'm working on the next chapter already, so hopefully it'll be up soon :)
Although I started laughing at first (because how can you not) at this: "He sneered to himself at the irony. Severus Snape had to teach Harry Potter not to be ashamed of his emotions. He wondered briefly if the apocalypse was upon them." The irony was just delicious! But I could just *feel* Harry's embarrassment, poor guy, when Severus showed him the drawing. I don't know why, but for some reason I wasn't sure if Severus was going to offer to be Harry's father figure or not, but was SO happy he offered. The ending was incredibly heartwarming. And we finally found out Harry's sign for Severus. *Grins* Thank you! Author's Response: I'm glad that part made you laugh, because it's one of my favourites too :) Yeah, I wanted Harry's reaction to be that way because I think any kid would be HORRIFIED if something they had drawn or written in private was found by an adult. That was actually pulled from my own life, where I was in a situation a little bit like Harry's here. And I can still remember 18 years later how horribly embarrassed I was. Thankws so much for your review!!
Author's Response: Yeah, I've read quite a few stories that rush in straight to the mushy stuff. While everyone loves to read that, myself included, it's important to build a relationship between Severus and Harry that would make this chapter believable. And hopefully it was :) |
