Reviews For Emerald Eyes
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate the way I've written both Harry and Snape :) That's very encouraging to hear. More should be posted very soon!
Can't wait for the next chapter! (Love the thing with Ginny! It was so sweet when Snape picked Harry up, and Harry went "Ginny...". I could just hear the desperation in his voice. Very nice! I also loved the fact that Snape was calming him down. Idk, it just seemed so cute and sweet. *Dodges a jar of pickled taods eyes being thrown at her by one very indignant Snape* "HEY!" Anyways.... I love this story, and I'm so sad that it's going to end! WAAAH! Oh well. Love it! -Elise Author's Response: Elise, Thanks so much for the lovely review :) Your feedback always cheers me up... You're quite right about the subtle caring going on. And I literally cracked up at the flying pickled toads remark. lol. That was great. You always seem to pick out the lines in my stories that I enjoyed writing the most. You definitely pegged the intent of the "Ginny..." line. ;) And I'm really glad you enjoyed that scene. I'll elaborate on it in the next chapter. Yes, this story is nearing an end, but it won't be for a while yet, as it usually takes me about a week between updates, so it's got another month to go, most likely :) Thanks again for all of your lovely reviews (for both of my stories) You're the greatest!
ive devoured this story in about 3-4 hours. I love it! keep up the great work. i love how ur building into it and that ur keeping ron and hermione IC. xx Author's Response: I love it when a reader tells me that they read my story in one sitting :) That's such a compliment! Thanks very much for reading and leaving me some feedback :)
Author's Response: Thank you for letting me know that you're enjoying the story! I appreciate the feedback :) I plan on updating pretty soon, most likely early next week, so I hope you stay tuned! ;)
I can't wait for the next chapter and hope you update soon. I love how Snape just picked Harry up at the end yet Harry continued to struggle to be put down and go to Ginny. I could just see that scene. And the talk they had after Dumbledore left was wonderful. I couldn't decided whether to laugh or cry when Snape and Dumbldore were watching Harry through the door. Excellent chapter and I can't wait for the next. I'm sure you'll story will be on the new featured list. Author's Response: I think I have this *thing* with Snape lifting Harry. It's so snuggly, yet it's not meant to be. lol. And yes, Harry is desparate to help Ginny, so he struggles in Snape's hold; however, at least Snape forces him to think about what he's going to do before he does it. A step in the right direction. Yay, Harry! And yes, the invisible door scene was meant to have a dual effect on your emotions. It's comical to see Harry sitting there, scratching his poor behind, but at the same time, he's got this dejected look on his face, and we know that he's heart-broken over the whole situation. Well, thanks (again) for the review :) Featured story or not, I'm having such a great time just writing and posting ;)
And the way Harry handled the sitouation was perfect! :) Scorpia

I loved the part where they could see out in the hallway. I just came from a conference about theory in literature, and we were talking about private sphere and space, the way people act when they think no one is watching. Harry's attitude in the hallway when he thought he was alone showed Snape more about Harry's feeling than Snape would have seen we he was with the boy. In other words, Harry's sad, lonely stance allowed Snape to empathize with him because Snape understands loneliness and confusion. One thing I absolutely hated was the part where you told us there are only five chapters left. Why? Why must you end it for us? I hate when things have to end, and I completely loathe the ending of things I have enjoyed and loved. I will demand right here and now that you write a sequel. I love your other story "Starting from Scratch," but we need Snape back. And the tickling scene was cute. Snape was trying to be all serious and business while Harry kept squirming. Keep writing, please. Author's Response: First of all, I'm so glad you have the chance to read and review today, because I LOVE your feedback. Love it. ;) Second of all, I must say I'm jealous that you've just come from a theory and literature conference, because I'm missing school more than I though I would. I need to go for my master's degree in literature or writing before I go crazy. Sure, teaching's a hoot, but it doesn't really cut it. lol. Anyway, I'm so glad you picked up on exactly what I was trying to portray with the invisible door scene. Severus caught on a little bit to Harry's sadness when he was patting the kid's back after his spanking, of course. But this was different. High five for you. And...I...suppose all I can say is I'm sorry about the five-more-chapters notice. *hangs head* I don't have an idea for a sequel right now, but maybe my imagination will bubble over after I'm finished writing this one. Don't worry...I won't stop writing for good ;) I just don't want to drag this story out forever. I'm stretching out SfS for a few more chapters, because I was afraid that I'd have to begin sleeping with one eye open if I ended that one too soon. lol. But, yay...tickling...I love Harry. I know he's squirmy and annoying, but I just love him. Thanks for the amazing review! Now it's your turn to write... *poke poke*
Author's Response: Thanks for leaving me feedback for this chapter! I love that you like my version of Snape...love that you like...okay, so it made sense in my head. lol. Anyway, I really try not to write him as a naturally nice man. Because he's not. The sweetness is unintentional and grows as Severus interacts more with Harry. He just doesn't necessarily realize it. Yet. But I love them, don't you? lol. Ah, now a new chapter of SfS awaits me. I need to wind down after writing fuzzyyetfrightening!Severus. ;)
Examples: “What sort of things?” Harry asked softly, tucking his right hand into the crack between the cushion and the back of the sofa. ……………………….. Harry wished he hadn’t said anything. Why did he always do that? He lifted his hand to his face and began chewing on his nails lustily. “Stop,” Snape ordered softly, tapping on Harry’s wrist with the back of his index finger. ………………………… “The smacking I gave you was to remind you to think before you act,” Snape proceeded with the lecture, “not to prevent you from feeling emotion in general. There is a difference.” Harry thought about this for a few seconds. “Oh…” he mumbled, as he began fingering the clasp on his robes again. “It stung…” ……………………….. Exquisite! I love your interactions between Severus and Harry – so much depth and sensitivity! Bravo! Keep up the good work! Anxiously awaiting more! Author's Response: *blushes* You sure know how to humble a person. lol. Thanks so much for your kind review. I know I said it before, but I'm so glad you're still reading and leaving feedback, because it means a lot coming from such a talented writer :) I suppose I just like to go for realism in my story. I think people connect with the characters when they seem more real...and by writing in the subtle movements of characters, I try to portray that. Severus and Harry interaction is so fun, yet challenging to write. As each chapter progresses, I find it harder and harder to finish a chapter, even though I always do. lol. I suppose I just want everything in the story to connect without leaving any obvious plotholes or questions. Again, thank you very much for the encouragement. I'm still smiling :) |
