I no longer post on this site, however, if you're interested in reading more of my fics, feel free to contact me, and I'll send you the link to the sites I currently post at. --RP
7-12-2010: I decided to revisit MNFF to read some quality fanfics, and realized that this site helped a lot in my own writing, both fanfic and personal. I am currently debating as to whether or not I should start posting some of my newer stuff here, and I'm thinking I just might, at least some of my one-shots. If you are interested, please go to my blog (which is rated somewhat mature, only because my fics that are discussed are rated mature) and let me know. I'd love your input, and I've certainly grown as a writer.
I don't think Hermione is acting OOC. I think I'm slowly beginning to understand her... But we'll wait for the next few chapters to determine that, shall we?
Also, I think that this chapter was very, very nicely done. Extremely well crafted. I cannot wait for another chapter to be up!! =)

Author's Response: I\'m glad you don\'t think she is! I don\'t either, but then again I know why she is doing the things she is doing, and I was afraid readers might not realize there are good explanations for everything. Thanks for the review, I\'m glad you liked this chapter!
Okay, I thoroughly disagree with your statement in your author's note; "Not the most exciting chapter in the world." I beg to differ. Amazing chapter.
Favourite parts:
1] "Applewhatever Creed"
2] The fight between R/Hr for the riddle--classic
3] Ron's knowing exactly how long it has been--nice touch
4] "Would they find it strange if Ron banged his head against a wall?"
5] "The man was a pansy."
6] "Herm, really, Hermione?"
I love Ron's character! You've made him so much more real in my mind than most authors do. =)
This whole chapter just makes me wonder if Hermione can really trust Bernard. I mean, especially after that chapter ending, I don't trust him and neither does Ron, so why should she? lol.
Amazing chapter! Just wonderful!
--RP/Kate
Author's Response: I\'m glad you disagree! Thanks for the review, and your list of favorite parts -- I always love that in reviews! You\'d think Hermione wouldn\'t trust Bernard, but more on that later. . . .
Whoa. This is one heck of a start to a story.
"'My name of the day.'" I think you've made Ginny a really cute, realistic pregnant Ginny. =)
Okay, when I read about Bernard, I was like, "Oh, gawsh." Ron'll have to get rid of him.
“'Admit it Hermione, fun isn’t productive enough for you. And your entire life is about productivity. That’s all you are, Hermione, a never-ending aspiration.'”
Author's Response: Thanks very much, I\'m glad you liked it. Bernard does sound like bad news, doesn\'t he? And as for that last quote -- :)
My review was cut short... Okay, I'm continuing here.
The riddle... Did whoever wrote it use the prayer and those ramblings to sya Voldemort will rise again? And are they planning to use Ginny to do so? The pie in the sky is either manical ramblings, like Ron suggested, or telling Ron and Hermione to look to the sky. If they do, will they see the Dark Mark?
Oh, this has got me interested! Update soon, please. Great start to the story!
=) Kate/RP
Author's Response: Ooh, more review? Great! Interesting ideas about the riddle . . . but you\'ll have to wait and find out what it does mean! Thanks again for the review.
This chapter was wonderful!
I really enjoyed seeing Hermione's past conversation with Harry, and then reading her thoughts that kept straying back to Ron.
I also love how you characterize Ron. It's just perfect!
Your stories always leave me hanging, and this story is definitely one of my all-time favourite fanfics! Even though I don't post on MNFF anymore, I still come back to read your fics! Any author who can do that is truly amazing.
Can't wait for your next update!
Happy New Year,
Kate/RP
Author's Response: Thanks very much! Ron is one of my favorite characters in the book -- I love his humour, and I\'m glad you think I was able to capture his character in my writing. Happy New Year to you too! :)
I loved Hermione's reasoning for the engagment. Great job. Wonderful chapter!! =) --RP/Kate
Author's Response: Good, I\'m glad. Thanks for the review.
I seriously canNOT stop thinking about this fic... The riddle has taken my brain hostage! I know you've got like a million other stories to work on, but I just wanted to say I'll be so excited when this is updated. Okay, I'm going to stop reviewing for the first chapter, I'm sure it's getting on your nerves.
=) RP/Kate
Author's Response: Oh no, I love reviews! I\'ll try and update quickly, and give you Hermione and Ron\'s breakdown of the riddle. . . .
Ooh, this is very good... There're more chapters coming, then? =) This is a sort of new twist on Lily & James... =) Good job! --RP/Kate
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! I\'m glad you like the story and the different perspective - I just wanted to experiment with things and see how the story looked from a different point of view.
And yes, there will be more chapters! I\'m in the process of writing the next one; I\'ve had a bit of writer\'s block lately, but hopefully it\'ll be done sometime in the next week or so. Thanks again!
Aww. But, she will be yours, Jamsie Poo!
Very, very nice chapter. Sad, but nice. I can't wait for another chapter! (There will be more, right? Please?)
10/10 from me!
Kate/Rp =)
Aww, how sweet. Perfect little fic! =) --RP
Aww, that's sweet. Nice job! =) --RP/Kate
Author's Response: Thank you!
Aww. I'm crying. *embarrassed* You did a wonderful job. I give you a 100/10! =) Perfect. --Kate/RP
i like this quite a bit. :) I'll be interested to see everyone's response (family-wise, that is). :)
Good job!
This is fun. :) I like that Ron tricked Hermione with the homework diary--very clever of you. :) I also really like the relationship that you have written between Ron and Hermione; both seem very in character and yet mature. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
I try my best to keep Ron and Hermione in character at all times. After the locket, Hermione’s torture and Fred’s death even Ron cannot remain immature (in my opinion). Daft, yes, immature, no.
