i love this story--you are so good at lemony snickett's style. If he wrote HP, this is exactly what it would be like. Great job! :-)

this was awesome. it would be AMAZING if Lily and James and Sirius were still alive...but I would feel so cheated if the series actually ended this way. i have a feeling it won't, though, lol

this is wonderful!

I don't think i've ever read a fic about Luna's take on her mother's death. It was very sad, beautiful, realistic, and extremely believable. kudos!

that was really good! i loved it, but the ending was so sad! even though i usually don't like reading H/G fics where harry or ginny or both die, this one was very well-written (and songfics are awesome :-) yay!) good job!

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I\'m glad that I\'m able to make an exception to you\'re anti-Harry/GInny death thing. I normally am too, but I think I was feeling emo or something when I came up with the idea :]

omg i love this story. great job!
oh my gosh, the muggleborn camp is really actually frightening, but a good way to show what the wizarding world was coming to at that point. sort of like the ghettos in nazi germany *shudders*
once again, great job! can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Yes, that is actually where the idea of the mudblood camps stemmed. I\'m glad you liked it nonetheless, thanks for the review!

make that 8 favorites emails =P

Author's Response: Haha

You did a great job with this--it was really funny, in an ironic, black-humor kind of way. I love the part about Sirius's old girlfriends--hilarious :-)

Author's Response: Thank you! I love to be told I\'ve done a great job. Yeah, it\'s BLACK humour (pun very much intended). I did enjoy the old girlfriends- obviously no one would break up with the Great Sirius Black, he was always the one to end it, and the poor girls never got over him.

great job!
it was hysterical...i love all of Lupin's corrections on the paper. :-D

Author's Response: I\'m glad you found it funny! I admire teachers, I really do. I just wouldn\'t have enough red ink! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Let me start off by saying I loved this. It was sweet and sad and funny all at the same time. I think it was very appropriate that Fred and George tackled the afterlife together. It seemed so unnatural that Fred died while his twin went on living, and I think your fic captured and addressed that very nicely.
I liked how you portrayed Fred's life after death...or, well, his time waiting for George. I thought it was interesting how normal the entire situation was for him, and how he discovered more about the end of his life and why he was there as the story continued. I loved the entire "you have to let me into your heart" aspect of the piece; very well done =]
Great job! Good luck in the challenge!


Author's Response: I think that after you realise you\'re dead, you don\'t really expect things to feel normal anymore. :) I\'m glad you liked the story. :)

AHH I loved this!! While I've never actually seen Sweeney Todd on Broadway, I liked the movie (except for the fact that nobody could *really* sing except Toby) and I luuurve the OBC recording. Anyway, your lyrics fit soo well...I'm majorly impressed; Sondheim is HARD, dude. But I love Sondheim =D
Anyway, I was cracking up hysterically all through A Little Bill...I loved the Thicknesse joke. Bahaha.
Also, I was, for some reason, amused by the fact that Helena Bonham Carter played both Mrs. Lovett and Bellatrix in the movie versions...and I noticed how perfectly By The Sea fits both characters =]
Anywho, major props for writing this. I'm pretty lousy with lyrics, but you do them really well!
Hairspray sounds really entertaining, by the way. You should do a RENT spoof (I tried to do this and failed. Miserably. I did come out with a Potterized version of La Vie Boheme that I sent to the Song Parodies section of Mugglenet...but it either hasn't been added yet/wasn't accepted) Anyway, it is kind of...erm...inappropriate. The movie--well--I don't like the movie very much, but it's more appropriate than the musical. The lyrics to 'La Vie Boheme' are about as bad as they get. In the stage production...well, look up the lyrics to Contact and keep in mind that it's staged rather vividly =P
Anyway, all digressions aside, this was an awesome spoof! Great job!! *goes off to listen to Sweeney Todd*

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I've never seen Sweeney on Broadway either (I've seen the video version of the old stage production and I have the OBC, and I DESPERATELY want the revival soundtrack, which has a female Pirelli and only nine or ten cast members total and very minimalistic staging and orchestration), but I've always really loved the show. I always thought it was too obscure to spoof, but then the film came out, and I said, "Well, I'll go for it!"

I actually really like Johnny Depp's voice. Call it a crime, but I think it's better-suited to the role of Sweeney than most trained singers, because he captures the intensity without going into overblown emotion. I feel like George Hearn (who most people see as THE Sweeney) used so much vibrato and vocal stylings that it was like he was saying "LISTEN TO ME! LISTEN TO MY VOICE!" instead of "Listen to what I'm saying and what my character is feeling." But yeah, that's just me!

Thanks so much for the -- Sondheim IS hard to spoof. So many internal rhymes! Amazingly, though, the "Wicked" spoof was actually harder to write than this one. Stephen Schwartz has some pretty complex rhyme schemes, too! "A Little Bill' was my favourite song of the bunch to write, because it was so stinkin' hard but I ended up liking the way it turned out. And yes, I HAD to make Bellatrix sing "By The Sea" after I saw this hilarious picture of Bellatrix and Voldemort on the beach posed like that one shot from the Sweeney Todd film!

You know, I've never seen Rent. I own a Rent t-shirt (my cousin bought it for me), but I don't know any of the songs except 'Seasons of Love,' and I don't know almost anything about the show. I do know that I'm not allowed to see the film (though I've never seen it, I can't imagine it can be any less appropriate than "Les Miserables," which has a whole song about prostitutes and a major character who is one) and that Idina Menzel's in it, but that's really all I know.
