LMAO Harry playing air guitar..that was brilliant!
Consumation by Magical Maeve
Rated: Professors •Summary: A little night music for Severus and Maeve. Another offshoot of Daughter of Light...sexual imagery but nothing graphic.
Date: 06/03/06 Title: Chapter 1: Consumation
Wow, that was beautiful. Snape's uncertainity made the story so powerful in its awkward, but still great love.
Brilliant!
Author's Response: Thank you for the kind review.
A Most Toad-Spotted Traitor by GryffindorGoddess
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Peter Pettigrew is a rat - a rat who betrayed his friends while looking for acceptance.
Date: 05/17/07 Title: Chapter 1: A Most Toad-Spotted Traitor
I really love Peter fics -- for some reason his character just strikes me, especially when fan fic writers try to explain his reasoning. Great work! :D
Author's Response: Thank you, MA. I\'ve always been fascinated by his character, too, wondering what made him turn to the dark side. I\'m glad you liked it and I really appreciate your review! ~GG
Another Plane of Existence by cor_leonis
Rated: Professors •Summary: It's nearly the end of his fifth year, and Severus has just experienced the most embarrassing and lamentable moment in his life. At a time where the wizarding world is becoming unhinged, he must deal with a few unexpected events that will change his life forever.
Date: 06/02/06 Title: Chapter 1: Ravages of Spirit
Wow, that was one of the best Snape characterizations I have read in a long time. Actually, the whole Slytherin group is characterized with great detail. I loved the dialogue. You have a knack for person to person interaction.
Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you, MaraudersAffair, I\'m glad that you like my characterization of Snape. As for the Slytherins--they\'re the best. I could write them forever. Glad you like the dialogue--I think I play-act it out in my head and that\'s why it works out so well. Again, I really appreciate your thoughtful review!

I really liked this prologue -- especially how you described the slytherin students.
Either exhilaration or trepidation, they were all murmuring, gesticulating frantically yet trying to keep their movements to a minimum.
I had never considered how voldemorts return could affect them -- and how you described how they were afraid being called a bloodtraitor. Too good. :D
Author's Response: Thank you ^___^ GoF is my favourite book, so it was really fun writing the prologue. I\'m rather fond of it myself. I think the Slytherin are rather confused about the re-emergence of the Dark Lord. He\'s a spector from the past, something that affected their parents but he\'s not part of their lives. Then suddenly the rhetoric they were raised on has an actual voice. Must be scary to realise the guy you\'ve been supporting since birth is actually alive now and you have to buck up and follow him ;)
No More Good-byes by Alessa
Rated: •Summary: Harry has spent his entire life saying good-bye. Even now as he locks himself away in Number 12 Grimmauld Place, he may have to say it again. Can love pull him through?
Date: 04/16/06 Title: Chapter 1: None
Wow, this was brilliant!
Terrific job -- wonderful ending!
Where Laughter Dies by Noldo
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: In the beginning of the Christmas holidays, Sirius Black runs away from home and will not return for twenty years. A warning for mild language.
Date: 07/19/06 Title: Chapter 1: Where Laughter Dies
So ghostly scared and confused. The character that really got to me was Regulus. I have never seen him in such light, in such desperate darkness. The character was incredibly touching - so lonely. Wonderful, just wonderful. :D
Life's An Hourglass by Connor Landon
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Lily Evans has a dark secret that will ultimately destroy her entire world. But only if Voldemort doesn't do it first...
This is the tale of James and Lily's struggle of love and life during the Time of Shadow--Voldemort's First War.
Date: 06/02/06 Title: Chapter 8: Crumbling Walls
Wow, that was really good.
Please continue!
Author's Response: Thanks! The \'wow\' at the beginning really pleases me!
Date: 06/02/06 Title: Chapter 8: Crumbling Walls
Ok, so you asked for some constructive critizism. First off, you really write the characters well. I love the inner dialogue and even though the whole romance between Lily and James is quite cliche ( but come on, how could it not be?) I find myself salivating over every emotion, interaction between the two. When I'm reading though, I find myself wanting more detail. Instead of just saying Lily was happy, discribe the feeling. I don't know . . . all around the scenes are great and I love this story so far!
Great job!
Author's Response: Yes! I feel the same way! I am so dissatisfied with this story sometimes because of the lack of detail. I try, and am still trying, but mostly I go overboard and end up taking out a lot of \'excess detail\'. But I really thank you for the c.c! Now that is a breath of fresh air. And I appreciate the compliments. I can\'t wait to read your review of the next chapter! Thank you so much for reviewing!
Date: 05/01/06 Title: Chapter 1: Musings
Wow, that was an excellent start!
Author's Response: Thanks! Feel free to read the rest if you haven\'t done so already. I\'m curious to see if you\'ll be the first to leave a \"constructive critical\" review!
Loving Lily by miss padfoot
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: They say love can make mountains melt. But can it evoke a reaction from Severus Snape?
Date: 01/09/07 Title: Chapter 1: One-Shot
Oh, I loved your description of Snape in one. Wonderful! :]
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing, MaraudersAffair! :)
Regrets by woomama
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Taking place after HBP. Professor Snape has been found to be a spy and He-who-must-not-be-named has imprisoned him in an enchanted cottage, until he can find a use for the Potions Master.
Date: 07/10/06 Title: Chapter 1: Redemption
Wow, the first paragraph really struck me and it reeled me in. I read it over three times before reading the rest of the fic - I liked it that much. The dialogue in this first chapter is perfect, exactly what I thought Snape would say. I was thrown off by Snape being naked infront of Bellatrix - unless there is something different in their relationship than in the books, I really doubt Snape would do such a thing. I understand he has nothing to hide from Bellatrix, but he at least would want to salvage some sort of dignity.
I really enjoyed this story - I'm excited about going onto the next chapters.
Great work!
Author's Response: MA, I am so happy you are enjoying the story. I believe that the first line of a story should captivate you and make you curious to continue. I really liked the way the first paragraph of this story came out. I know that the scene with Snape naked in front of Bellatrix concerned you, and I wanted to let you know that it wasn\'t a case of him knowing she was there and just walking out of the bathroom naked. It was more of a \"well she has already seen me in this towel, and I am not going to grab my clothes and go running back into the bathroom like a virgin on her wedding night.\" Snape could care less what Bellatrix thinks of him and I think he was hoping to unnerve her more than she was. At this point he has been in the cottage long enough to not care anymore. Certainly his conversation with Bella following that scene proved that he didn\'t care if the Dark Lord himself heard his blasphemous utterings of disdain. I truly hope you stick with the story, there is certainly more to come. Thanks again for the wonderful review.

Date: 07/10/06 Title: Chapter 2: Surprise
WHAT? Whoa! WHAT? Oh - she must be the one they tracked down . . . I really liked how you explained the progress of the house and the house elves. So Voldemort knows that Snape was on Dumbledore's side, but he is still allowing him to live in this house-prison-thing? Hmm - damn Wormtail.
Author's Response: MA, Yes I think a lot of people are having trouble understanding the house, I am glad that you seem to have gotten it. To explain a bit more for anyone reading this, the cottage is actually sentient to an extent. There is no Death Eaters monitoring it, or providing the food, or making it habitable. It is magical in its own right and capable of sustaining life on it\'s own. However it does need someone to remove refuse and other items that are left, such as: dishes, trash, and other items brought in magically. Hence the house elves. Yes Snapes spying was brought to an end by Wormtail. He is certainly a sneaky little rat. ~woomama

Wow, this is a very great start! Is there supose to be sexual tense between Oliver and Marcus? I need to go back and look at the pairing . . .
Ahaha!
So it's their last year at Hogwarts and Oliver has an office? That's pretty awesome.
Great job!
Author's Response: Yeah, don\'t you remember that the quidditch captians have their own office within their teams locker rooms?
Is there suppose to be sexual tension between the two main characters? Well, actually I\'m not sure if sexual is the right word for where they stand, but tension is dead on.
Thanks for the review!

Oh My! Was that cocaine he was giving her? What? That's awful! I desperately want to picture Marcus attractive, but the actor who plays him in the movie just keeps on flashing in my mind. It's so frustratng!
Aha!
Author's Response: Just try imaging another dark haired actor. It works for me. =D
Date: 07/13/06 Title: None
Wow, Oliver's mom is a deadly assasin? That is great! And the way she threw that knife - ouch, it almost got his head! I really like how you are showing the contrasts between Marcus and Oliver' personalities. Brilliant!
Author's Response: Thank you. I\'m glad that you noticed. =D
Emerald in the Fire by rita_skeeter
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Doubt thou the stars are fire,
doubt the sun doth move.
Doubt truth to be a liar,
but never doubt thy love. Hamlet, Shakespeare.
Lily Evans and Severus Snape lived in two different worlds; they had two separate lives. How is it then that they managed to find love in the dark?
Date: 09/09/06 Title: Chapter 1: Maybe I'm Afraid of the Way I Love You
Hmm - this is very interesting. Although I would never conside Snape is such a vulnerable light - I find myself really liking his character in this story. I kind of just want to wrap my arms around him and comfort him - XD. Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! Yes, in this story I am aiming to make Snape more...human, in a way. Thanks for your review.
