Where does the time go? It seems like only yesterday I was avidly on Mugglenet and writing so many HP fanfics that my fingers coulnd't keep up with my brain. *sigh* The times have changed, and thus, I find I'm not writing many - if any - HP fanfics any more. Aside from the long overdue Helga/Salazar story I've sadly neglected, I find mostly that I'm writing Supernatural fanfics, and am more active in that fandom than this one. Such is the way of life, I suppose. I do check in here from time to time, so if you've left me a review and I haven't replied, please don't take it as a sign that I'm ignoring you. It's just that I don't come here as much anymore. But I do appreciate and love the fact that you take the time to review my work. It makes this fangirl very happy! xD And I will make a better effort to leave a reply.
You can keep up with me at my LJ page, which I keep more up-to-date, with different fandom ramblings, fics, and artwork. If you are interested, here is the link: http://princess-schez.livejournal.com/
Ttyl!
Here are just a small fraction of actual reviews left for my fics:
A Death Eater Handbook
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe this! I just reread the last chapter of "Sweet Sacrifice" and I would have never thought that an author who writes dark stories could write something so funny!!! *envies your multi-talentedness* I can't decide which is my favourite rule... they're all so funny! I love rule #5, #7, #10, #11, #13, #16, #23, #26, #28, #30, #31 and #32 (I tried narrowing it down to my absolute favourites, I swear.) I'm getting more weirded out by the second though... I just don't get how you can go from the Professor rated SS version of Voldemort+Bellatrix and than do this . Well, however you're doing it, it's working very very well;). Unfortunately, the hillarity of this fic resulted me from being kicked out of the school library for laughing to much... No biggie though, I'm still going to your author's page to dig for more awesome fics!" ~ Lily Roxy
"Very amusing - I only wish Voldy was like this in the books! I particularly liked rule 23: "Rock, paper, scissors is not the best way to go about deciding something. Trust me. I speak from experience. Anyone remember the Godric's Hallow incident? Yes, I thought so.", and all the jabs at Bellatrix. You use his formidable and anti-social nature to superb comic effect ;o)" ~ LuckyRatTail

Adventures Through the Firewhisky Glass
"lol! I love it! it's hilarious and stuff like that. I am glad that there are some people out there with the super power of making people laugh. You are a comical genius! I look forward to reading some more of your work! ^_^" ~ MooseButter_queen
"dude it's wierd but i love it!!! i just woke everyone up laughing (it's 4:08 AM here) just had the visual of Voldemort and Dumbledore singing another Michelle Branch song keep writting you are so F'ing Hilarious i love your story" ~ alexjulygg144

Excerpts from Nagini's Diary
"I love this so much! I can't believe it's the end of it all, but in some twisted way, it somehow makes sense. I proclaim that this story is... HOHOLARIOUS. You can make a great big brass plaque and hang it on your door and write, "MY FANFICTION IS HOHOLARIOUS." That's not something that most people can boast!" ~ Schmerg_The_Impaler
"Very nice. I so needed a laugh tonight, and what do I find? You’ve added two chapters to this story that I didn’t even know about. The story is so funny from the first line—I love Nagini’s “voice”—but here’s an especial pleaser: “Also, I can't expect to travel without Mr. Snuggley-boo, my teddy. Did I just admit that?! Oh well, it's not like somebody is going to steal this diary and post it for a bunch of people to read....” The idea of Voldy’s snake with a teddy just cracks me up, and the second half of the passage…lol! It reminds me of those movies (like Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) in which one of the actors looks at the camera and shares a moment of pure irony with the audience; I can almost see Nagini doing the same. Speaking of movies, whatever made you think up Nagini, the film director?! Wherever the idea came from, I’ve got to say, we’ll all be lining up to see Voldy on the Toilet for sure! (Though I do have to say, I’m completely with Nagini concerning the idea of Peter in a Speedo. :-P )" ~ Lunafish

Furvus Cruor
"I'm not quite sure if I can picture Voldemort writing a letter to his mother, especially with all of his bitter feelings towards his family, but you wrote it well all the same. I like how you ended the chapter. It ends his childhood life and opens another door into the pathway of the evil life he chooses..... Overall however, it is a wonderful story. I wish you the best of luck for other chapters. " ~ greeneyes
"it seems soo like Tom to write a letter like that... powerful but harsh." ~ Ice_Princess

Ginny Weasley's Diary
"This is the most inspiring fic that I’ve read in a while. I read this yesterday but as I didn’t leave a review then, I thought about it all day and decided, finally, to leave one today. This is a wonderful story that you have written. The first line is so powerful and it sets off a tone to the story. It is a great starting line and it easily captures the readers’ attention. Brava! The frequent images you use of the thunder and lightning illuminating her room sets a also sets a nice feel to the story. I say ‘nice’ because it perfectly describes the emotion felt even though this is an angsty story.
A sudden loud boom of thunder snapped her from these thoughts.
I absolutely love this line, as it also snapped me from thinking of her second year. You’ve made her emotions and thoughts so clear that it’s as if we also go back and think about them. That line immediately snaps a reader back into reality – reminding them that they are just reading a story. Not many fics do that.
Dense white fog hung low to the ground, strangely reminding her of Dumbledore's long white hair.
Great imagery! Your style of writing makes the scenes so real we can see it. :)" ~ sayiansirius
(Sayiansirius also made me three banners for my fic. Aren't they just gorgeous!?)

Harry Potter and Viva Las Vegas!
"I loved it!! It was great!! The last line is priceless. Very funny :)" ~ KASK
"I loved it! The last sentence made me laugh! Good job!" ~ purplepanther

Hogwarts, A Beginning History - By Helga H.
"I enjoyed it! I think you truly captured the sweet nature of Helga Hufflepuff! (and, if I may say, the shrewd and sometimes devious nature of Salazar Slytherin). I liked the light air of the narrative..." ~ Hero London
"Well done! A great monologue. I found it very interesting and highly entertaining. You seem to be a very good writer. I wonder what the story would be like from Salazar's point of view? Probably not so upbeat and cheerful I would imagine." ~ Silverboy

In the Shadow of the Serpent
"Schez, you are awesome! So is the chapter! You kept everything at a good pace, some stories just move too slowly." ~ Dara
"wow. it really does just keep getting better and better! this is without a doubt my favorite fan fiction on mugglenet. just keep updating because i love it!"
"wow, wow, and wow. this is truly an amazing story. i love the way you incorporated hagrid in, and i love everything about this story. why are you writing fanfiction??? become a novelist!! :)"~ gryffindorgirl531
"ohmigod! This is such a good story!!"
"I've had a fabulous time reading this fic and I hope you have a lot of fun with futre fic writing!" ~ Ellie4Harry
--
Long Since Forgotten
"This was really good; I actually kind of feel sympathy for him. You made him seem human, which is something he's not really in the books. This way we can kind of see how he falls. I think you did an excellent job." ~ Chaser921
--
Sirius Black... Babysitter Extraordinaire?!
"ahahahaha!! this story is soooooooo cute! and funny! (harry sure drools a lot, doesn't he?) anyway, i loved it! sirius was really hilarious...the issue with the other story that was very (very) similar to this was...weird.(now how could that have happened?) anyway, good job!! i loved this, and i give this a two thumbs up!" ~ BertieBotts
"WOW! I'm a sucker for Sirius stories, so I read this one about 15 millon times! Keep writing!" ~ Ginny806
"this is one of the most awesome stories ive ever read! great job! even though it ended, ill just read it over...and over... and over...ive saved it to my favorites. humor is my favorite kind of fanfaiction and you are an aweosme author!!! 10/10 :P" ~ lunagirl824

Sweet Sacrifice
"I like the way you change the points of veiw. It's sooo much more intresting than the usual 3rd person. I can't wait for the next chapter!!! Update soon!!! :)" ~ Irish writter
"Yay! I love anything that's inspired by Evanescence. S.S. is one of my favourite songs, this promises to be angsty and intense...
Uggh, Voldemort is absolutely disgusting... good chapter though. " ~ Lily Roxy

Tom Riddle's 12 Days of Christmas!
"Hilarious! *Laughs harder than ever*! A definite 10 for the humor!" ~ Dara
"That was actually hilareous! Really original idea! I really liked it!" ~ Oppungo

Out of the Shadows
"Great chapter! I don't know whether I've ever reviewed this fic or "In the Shadow of the Serpent" before, but I've been following them for a time now. Keep writing!" ~ the_wind
"Wow! That was probably the best chapter I've ever read. Not that all the other chapters weren't BRILLIANT but this is AMAZINGLY FANTASTICALLY BRILLIANT! *takes breath* I liked the reaction Miriam had about Tom's apperance! Keep up the AMAZINGLY FANTASTICALLY BRILLIANT good work!!" ~ Ellie4Harry

"*Laughs* You've been a very good author...!" ~ WarElf

Take My Heart Away by Hatusu
Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary: Hermione goes back in time with one mission: to kill Tom Riddle before he ever comes to power. A difficult task, correct? An impossible one, she realizes, as a love between them grows stronger than anything she has ever known. Now Hermione has a choice to make. Will she condemn the Wizarding world to almost certain destruction, or will she take the life of the one boy she has ever loved?
Date: 11/13/06 Title: Chapter 17: Worst Nightmare
Out of all the chapters, I think that one was my absolute favorite.
If you ever decide to post this story else where, there's a large Tom/Hermione community here: http://community.livejournal.com/lv_hg_betrayal
I hope to see you there. :-)
Date: 05/13/06 Title: Chapter 6: Sunset Tears
Really good job on this chapter. I really like how you captured both characters personalities quite well.
I'm going off to read the next chapter now....
Date: 08/27/06 Title: Chapter 11: Moonlight Masquerade
Oh! You can't leave us hanging like this! That was too good a chapter! :-D I can't wait to see what happens between Hermione and Tom. Perhaps a snogging-fest? lol
Date: 03/27/06 Title: Chapter 5: Late Night Suspicions
Hermione stopped dead in her tracks as the sentence hung in the air. “You pervert! If you really think I am going to–” - I couldn't help but laugh at that part. Why, I don't know. :-) This chapter was really great though, there was a small typo here: "our her own wand." I think you meant to say 'out' and not 'our'. But other than that, great job! :-D
Date: 05/13/06 Title: Chapter 7: Enemies Closer
Don't leave us hanging like this! Please update soon! I really love this story in all its dark, romance-angsty glory!
Author's Response: Hahaha I love your description of my story, so admirably accurate! ;D Your banner-making skills are brilliant, and thanks for the review! :D
Date: 03/21/06 Title: Chapter 3: Helen Nestowe of Germany
I just finished this chapter. I love how it's slowly building, the plot, and everything. The fact that Hermione was able to fool DD surprised me, in a good way. Another 10 for such an outstanding chapter! :-)
Date: 07/13/06 Title: Chapter 8: Best For Them
Great chapter! I can't wait to read the next one, so hopefully it'll get approved right away. :-) I like how you showed Tom having (a very slight) good side to him, even if he only saved her to save his own behind. ;-)
Author's Response: LoL but the question is... did he really save her only to save himself?? Lol I hope I\'ll have the next chap up soon too. :)
Date: 02/26/06 Title: Chapter 1: The End
I finally found this story! I must've searched forever trying to find it on FA, and come to find out, it was here on Mugglenet. You did a really great job on capturing the feeling of the first chapter. A definite 10! I'll be bookmarking this story...
Author's Response: The story on FA was actually a plagarized version of this one... O_O... but I'm glad you found the real one. :D
Date: 10/01/06 Title: Chapter 14: Price of Immortality
You can't leave us hanging like this! I know I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but this was absolutely brilliant!
Date: 09/10/06 Title: Chapter 12: Moonlight Masquerade, Part II
Don't leave us hanging like this! This is a brilliant chapter! I loved how you portrayed Tom and Hermione's second kiss. It was so... hot!
Date: 03/21/06 Title: Chapter 4: Of All People
Excellent! I can't think of anything to say except great job! :-)
Date: 10/08/05 Title: None
That was hilarious!!! lol Poor Hedwig, nobody understands her.... I hope you update soon! I can't wait to see what happens!! I'm putting this story on my favorites.... 10!!
Fight and Fall by Ella Norman
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: *one-shot*It's after a paramount battle, and three Death Eaters come together through the fog. There are members of the Order waiting for them in the hills, just waiting for the smoke to clear.
~*~For MNFF's monthly challenge Number Four (Ten to one we're gone when the smoke clears. They will do everything in their power to destroy us.) from Ella Norman and Hufflepuff House.~*~
Date: 10/02/05 Title: Chapter 1: Fight and Fall
I really liked the story! Yay for Hufflepuff! I hope you win! :-)
Author's Response: Lol, thanks. :-)
Date: 03/31/06 Title: None
Real mature, rileyowen. I can only hope that you're more mature in real life than on some fanfic website hiding behind a username. And it's Scheherazade, not Scherazade-thingy
Date: 03/31/06 Title: None
Cute story, but it seems so vaguely familiar. Kind of like a story I had posted. I'm not lying, you can check my profile to see the story, Sirius Black... Babysitter Extraordinaire. I've noticed a "few" points in your story that were very close to mine: Dumbledore coming to check on them, Lily and James leaving for the weekend, Sirius calling the TV 'jellyvision', Sirius looking at the photo album, Harry and Sirius playing ball outside and turning into a dog, Harry grabbing Sirius's tale, Sirius having a stupid phone incident with Lily, the cleaning of the skanky diaper, and Harry spitting up on Sirius. I'll be giving this cheap imitation of a story a 1. I'll be talking to the mods about this.
Remus and Nymphadora Lupin’s Vegas Holiday by lunafish
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: The war is over, and newlyweds Remus and Nymphadora Tonks have decided to take a well deserved holiday. Too bad for Severus Snape that he just happens to be heading in the same direction. Warning: A bit of sexual innuendo and some references to gambling. Posted prior to DH.
Date: 06/11/06 Title: Chapter 1: Remus and Nymphadora Lupin’s Vegas Holiday
..."and Remus now knew that Ron’s older twin brothers were definitely not gay after all."
OMG! I nearly died reading that. lol What about Percy... Nobody's seen him with a girl lately... lol
"Then he walked from the 110 degree desert heat..."
Actually, 110 degrees is the temperature that's in the shade! It's more like 200 degress here during the summers. lol
And Snape on a Muggle plane? I would LOVE to be on that plane... just so I could torment him... *evil grin*
But I really, really, really loved the story. I hope you think about continuing it. :-)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Do you live in Vegas, too? I was actually thinking 115 or 120 degrees, but the news always claims it\'s less than that...probably to trick the tourists into coming here. Anyway I had planned on a sequel, but I\'ll definitely think about it now that I have some free time. Thank you again. Neta
Author's Response: I meant to say \"hadn\'t,\" but I guess it works either way.... :)
The Cave by Ellie4Harry
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Amy Benson was an ordinary girl living in an orphanage, the same orphanage that housed the less-than-ordinary Tom Riddle. While at the seaside Tom takes Amy and her best friend Denis Bishop down to a cave. Something happened there, but nobody knows what...
Date: 02/04/07 Title: Chapter 4: Return to a Nightmare
This was a brilliant chapter, so please don't leave us hanging like this or I'll have to send Tom over. lol
I hope poor Amy can get out.
Author's Response: Please don\'t send Tom over, Amy has alot of other things to deal with right now! I\'ll try to update ASAP
Ellie =]
Date: 11/23/06 Title: Chapter 3: The Locket
First review! :-D You did a really good job on this chapter. I thought it was so sweet that Amy and Denis got married. Please update soon. :-D I can't wait to see if Tom spreads more of his evilness....
Author's Response: It il be a couple of weeks before I update because my christmas exams are next week! it will come soon though!
Thanks for the great review!
Date: 10/02/06 Title: Chapter 2: Reminiscence
First review! :-) Great chaper! I love how you describe Tom as being an evil little turd. lol If you have any more chapters written, please update them soon. :-)
Author's Response: I\'m afraid I\'m gonna have to start Chapter 3 from scratch! Its gonna be a few weeks, I\'m getting ready to take exams at the end of this year so I\'m v.busy
Date: 04/29/07 Title: Chapter 5: Fear Reawakened
Wow... I can't believe it... Poor Dennis and Amy. :-( I hope this isn't the end of the story, I want Amy to be happy.
Author's Response: It isn\'t the end!! I\'m going to write about 2 more chapters before then.
