I thought this very original and funny (in the places that it was meant to be). I try to be original in my plots as well- I'd love it if you'd review my stories! Thanks!

Author's Response: You know what? It's been awhile since I took a good long stretch and sat down through a string of HP stories. I'll give your fics a looky.

Hey, this is Ms. Meriadoc Brandybuck, who changed her username. I have several stories. One that is still in queue is a very long chaptered story that has Snape as a very important character; one is an angst about Bellatrix, and there are many more. Thanks!!

I just finished the 2nd chapter, and I think this will actually be fully read by me. Just one thing to point out about the first chapter - where you meant to say 'too' you wrote 'to.' but beyond that it's well-written. P.S. Might you review my stories? I am looking for someone (and it might as well be a member of SPEW) to read some of them and give me their opinions. Thanks!

Atarwyn - do you watch American Idol? I miss Constantine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Scott stinks so badly - why couldn't he have gone last week? Why? Sorry, just had to get that out.

Dear hpfanaticalalltheway and all of my other, loyal reviewers: I have changed my username. It is now KESTREL. I have all of my stories online, including my new ones, there. An American in Hogwarts is still in queue, but should be online soon. Please re-review! Thanks for all of your loyalty to this story, all of you!

This is Ms. Meriadoc Brandybuck. I changed my username. I shall be deleting the stories off of my old username and putting them on the new; do you think you could re-review them? I hate losing 41 reviews on one of my stories. Oh, well.

Hello! Just wanted to let you know that Ms. Meriadoc Brandybuck, author of An American in Hogwarts, which you reviewed a while ago, has changed her username to Kestrel. I have numerous chapters written up, and I promise to update quickly! I would love it if you'd re-review. ;)

Author's Response: Sure, I'd love to! When I have the free time and if I remember, that is...

Hello! Thanks for reviewing my story. I like to review the stories of those who have reviewed mine. I liked your story, and I find myself writing the beginning to a very long review. I have a few comments/suggestions to make: Excerpt: On his forehead lie a lightning shaped scar, not just any scar, a scar that marked a curse. I found that it is more correct and the sentence flows better if you replace the first comma with a semi-colon. In the remaining chapters I found numerous mistakes; please don't be mad at me for pointing them out but I like helping people correct their stories. I hope you see this as a helpful act rather than a poitning out of flaws. Most of the mistakes involved missing apostrophes (') or incorrect contractions. I am pointing out a few examples below. Excerpt: Dear Ron, Some strange things are happening here, I need you contact any member of the advance guard. I wish I could say more, but I don’t have much time. If you’re at snuffles home please show this note to in the Order. Thank You. Harry The letter should be written as this: Dear Ron, Some strange things are happening here. I need you contact any member of the Advance Guard. I wish I could say more, but I don’t have much time. If you’re at Snuffles' home please show this note to the Order. Thank You. Harry However, I couldn't figure out what the last bit was supposed to mean. "please show this note to in the Order" could mean "please show this note to anyone in the Order" or "please show this note to the Order." “Dudley, I was wandering if you could share your nightmare with us?” Dumbledore said quietly. The sentence should contain 'wondering,' not 'wandering.' Over all I LOVE your detailing, and with a bit of beta work it could be a nice story. P.S. I was very touched by your review on my story 'Luna's Life.' I have more one-shots that are in queue or are plot bunnies in my head. I hope you will read them. Also! I'm excited! My story Bellatrix in the Dark/Angst section just got accepted. I think it's my best one-shot and I would love to have you be my first reviewer! The rest of my one shots' summaries are below: Title: Bellatrix Category: Dark/Angst Title: Feathers Category: Historical Title: Luna's Life Category: I think you know by now! And I have 2 chapter stories and 2 poems. I think you have a great potential as not many people can detail as well as you. 8/10, for the detailing; plus, everyone who has the guts to show their work for critique deserves recognition.

Author's Response: Jesus! You are good. I need to hit myself over the head. I'm going to fix my errors after I go and cry in the corner for half of an hour.

Hi! Ms. Meriadoc Brandybuck (me) recently changed her username to Kestrel. You recently reviewed my story called The Course of True Love Never Did Run Smooth. I just wanted to let you know that it is now on the new username, and I'll update there. I'd love it if you'd re-review!

I'm having a bit of trouble with it, so the online chapter's a bit different.
