Reviews For Acid Reigns
I love Snowdrop she is great fun in a weird sense. Harry is certainly getting a rather odd education from his new environment. Thank you for your regular updates the story is something to look forward to.
Oh dear poor Harry he ever seems to get a break! I can't imagine that Severus is the right temperament to be a barman. Thank you for updating.
I must protest the lack of an Evil!Albus tag here. I strive to avoid fanfiction that takes him out of character in such a profound manner, and the lack of such tags leads readers to feel mislead. I must say it is not done with particular grace here; the sheer idiocy and oafishness at show clashes horribly with the character. I daresay it is possible to put Dumbledore in an adversarial position without these things. A malicious Dumbledore would be much harder to get the upper hand on; certainly a child of seven wouldn't be able to spot "evil" body language through the kindly old professor veneer so easily, for example. If I knew it was this type of story, I would not be here to leave this criticism. Be that as it may, it doesn't overshadow my love for your prose. I had just been gushing to my friends about Grease & Lightning earlier today; It is with regret that I take my leave here. I'll gather up the compliments I was planning here, then. Author's Response: Well, I am sad to see you go, but I am afraid I can?t do without explaining that I did not write Albus here to be evil. He is adversarial and manipulative, yes, and is attempting to hold on to his most prized weapons of war, but this is not what I would have written for him if I imagined him to be evil. I also think that if he was a bit ham handed about his methods it is merely because he underestimates both Severus and Harry at this juncture. In any case, as for tagging, I am very much against excessive tagging and would generally prefer to opt out of such warnings. I prefer fanfiction to work like real books, where one doesn?t necessarily know what they are getting into from the dust cover alone, and I am loathe to spoil my own story in the tags. Where I have tagged things it is merely to avoid getting in trouble for leaving them out (e.g. content warnings for violence/kidnapping, all that). In any case, I do very much appreciate your thoughts on the series up until this point, and I regret that you don?t care for the continuation. I put my heart and soul into the sequel, only at the behest of my readers for I otherwise hadn?t planned on continuing, but hopefully G&L stands alone well enough on its own that the fact that you didn?t care for the sequel two chapters in doesn?t ruin it for later. It was designed to finish at four chapters, even if many readers didn?t feel we were finished yet.

Severus seems to think Harry can understand him by osmosis! Loved the maths lesson with Severus and the music lesson was very funny thank you Author's Response: Yes, he's a mite impatient with anyone who can't keep up with him lol. Thank you!
Author's Response: Poor Harry, he's responsible beyond his years, to be sure :( No worries, I only believe in happy endings, but the journey to that can be a bit rocky at times.
Lovelychapter thank you. I love the back story about Eileen great fun.
I feel so bad for failing to review the last two chapter! I'm so sorry! That's what happens when I read on my phone, and tell myself I go back later when I'm on my computer to review. Needless to say, I FUCKING LOVE THIS WHOLE STORY. Please, never stop writing. When I read the scene in the last chapter about the homeless man Harry stepped on, I was really curious to see if he would be making an appearance again. For some reason I thought he might be Tobias Snape. idk why. Will we see him agian? Am I reading too much into that scene? I love that Snape collected the pieces of the bell! I'm hoping he fixes it for Snowdrop. It was clearly very special to her, and I need to know all the things. Harry being kinda rude to Nick because he was focused on Snape, and then regretting it is so perfectly in character and relateable. It was beautiful. Also, Harry and Snape talking about Harry's 'helping' Snape was so perfect! *chef's kiss* Then there was all the revelations about Snape and his mum. And Snape's sulkiness.... omg I love this story. LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE this story. Thank you so much for writing and sharing Author's Response: Don't feel bad, it's ok! I love hearing from you! As for the tramp...? All I can say is... er... um... *winky face* lol Much more about Snowdrop and Nicky is forthcoming (I hope readers don't mind the OCs but they literally took on a life of their own, without my say so).
Author's Response: Thanks! There's a lot more backstory where that came from! |
