Well. Hello there.
My name is Susan.
I'm a student living in Massachusetts who has an insatiable thirst for music and, of course, Potter. I read a whole lotta Hermione/Snape and review often.
I'm also the proud momma of two posted fics that will be expanded upon shortly. I might post updates every once in a while here, so take a look if you're interested.
What's going on right now:
"Daybreak" is only the second part, people! Ready for Part Three?! *scattered, half-assed applause* Well, er, it's coming along shortly, I just need a bit of planning time and I'll be good to go. Sit tight, crazed fans.
Reviews make me so happy :o) And I'm sure other authors will agree. I so appreciate feedback! Thanks people!
Peace, Love, and Potter,
ickle duddykins
Well hello hello hello again!
I’ve been vacationing in southern California for awhile and I’ve dearly missed this fic. Of course, it was wonderful to lie out on the beach, get nice and tan, and watch gorgeous half-naked males surf and such, but I’m back now and ready to review.
My initial reaction: *reaches Nirvana*
How you managed to bring the relationship between Snape and Hermione this far without making it cheesy in the slightest, I haven’t a clue. It is progressing perfectly. Perfectly.
Stupid Sirius. Sorry, that must sound like an insult to you. What I mean to say is, he has the absolute worst timing. But then again, I suppose the suspense is what makes all of this so good. How do you make it so deliciously evil? I guess you’re just incredibly talented :o)
Anywaaaaaay, you’re the best and I can’t wait for an update. Will we get as far as the graduation/when they get to be together? And will we find out more about that goldy locks thing Snape has going on? So many questions.
Thanks for a great fic and for sharing it with us!
With everlasting and all consuming love (or…er…whatever),
ickle duddykins.
P.S.
Are you posting this over at Ashwinder under the penname Peter Pan? Because if you’re not, someone is helping themselves to your work. Only the first chapter is up and none of the reviews have responses. Smells fishy. You may want to look into that and speak to an admin. Plagiarism is not sexy.
Author's Response: yaaaay another wonderful review!!! :D :D i\'m so so happy that you approve of the non-cheesyness, and yay for half naked man surfers! also, as much as i would love to answer all those awesome questions of yours, i\'m afraid, you\'ll just have to wait and see (oops, there i go being evil again lol xD). as always thanks for reading!!!
and about the peter pan thing, i think it was either you or another reader that approached me about that. yes, don\'t worry, that is me. i started posting and then forgot i had an account there, and now it\'s so far, i\'m not sure if i want to keep posting (it takes so long!!). but maybe i will. anyways, thanks for looking out for me!
I'm a little bit obsessed with this story, so you can imagine the stress I'm in being in this particular situation. You see, I cannot get to the last chapter, Of That Game Called Revenge. I don't know if maybe it will be posted in the future of if perhaps you've abandoned it :o( If it is at all possible, could you maybe put a little something in you bio about when we can expect to read this one, of maybe lets us know if you've dropped this story (o man, I hope not!) Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into this fabulous writing, I really really enjoy it!
Sue
Author's Response: haha i\'m so glad you are enjoying it! and the reason you can\'t read the chapter yet is because it\'s still in-que (in other words, it\'s just waiting to be approved by the admins)
i have by nooooo means abandoned this story--actually i\'m more into it than i\'ve ever been :D
anyways, thanks for the review! i hope you enjoy the next chapter (it\'s a juicy one!)
It is with a heavy heart, squinty eyes, and a maniacal, positively lunatic smile on my face that I sit here typing. A heavy heart because, well, we all know what's going to happen in just a day of two; squinty eyes because by the number of reviews posted for this chapter so far, I can only assume some of them are spoilers (stupid f*cking NYTimes can f*cking go and kiss my ass!!!!!) and we have to tread very lightly on the internet for the next couple of hours if we want to approach Deathly Hallows in blissful ignorance; and finally, that completely insane, not-going-anywhere-for-quite-awhile-frighteningly-happy-grin is because...
This. Was. Perfect.
This chapter was my favorite so far. Like, all-time favorite. First with the jealous Snape and then the piano thing...I coudn't take my eyes off the screen. And then THE KISS. Oh my gosh. That could have been so easily screwed up. There were landmines all over the place that could have made it all cheesy and romance-novel-y. But it was absolutely fitting to the way the story is progressing and to the characters themselves. How the hell did you write this? It was, like I said, perfect.
And the way it ended was like 'of course Snape would only do something as dumbass as that.' He just doesn't realize that he really wants to shag and have lots of little Gryffindor/Slytherins with Hermione. All in good time.
The only fault that I can find with this chapter is that now I will be forced back into RL while waiting for the next one. And I really want the next chapter. Like now. But I'll wait, I know this kind of wonderfully delicous fanfiction goodness takes time to produce.
With many thanks for your talents and best wishes for an enjoyable release of DH,
Sue.

ENJOY DEATHLY HALLOOOOOOOOWS!!
WOOOO!
Author's Response: aah don\'t SAY that! you\'ll make me loose control of all bodily functions and fall into a quivering heap of anticipation!!!!!
anyways, WOW thanks again for a wonderful review! i\'m so glad that you approve of Hermione\'s (finally!) confession. i was actually very worried about making it cheesy (hence the reason i took so long to build it up and attempted to develope it in a more believable fashion), and i am DELIGHTED to hear that it went over well :D as always, thanks for reading and it\'s great to hear from you! ENJOY DH!!!
woah. What an intense chapter. I DIED when Lavender fell on Snape. DIED. I love how shay and sensitive he is. Wouldn't we all just love to see Snape like that?And then how the chapter ended, with the whole Snape freaking out thing? That was awesome. Great chapter, can't wait for the next one.
SUE :o)
Author's Response: yay! making people laugh is the best feeling! thank you so much for the review and for reading! the next chapter should be along soon :D

Each and every time you update, my body produces unnatural levels of adrenaline and endorphins. It's wonderful.
And each and every time I read a new chapter, my body convulses with excitement.
Well, not really. I probably would be dead right now if I actually had such violent reactions to reading this story. Either way, I'm totally addicted and in love with this fic. In fact, I'd like to marry and have babies with this story (if that were even remotely physically and biologically possible).
So, about this chapter. I luurve Severus' POV. He's so in denial I just wanna shake the computer screen and shout at him to hurry up and snog her already. Oh well, all in good time (I hope).
Now on to that flash of green light. When I read that, a teeny-tiny voice in my head was shouting, 'it's the flooooo! he's flooing to Hermione's room! he's finally decided to just snog her already! there is a god!' Of course, my logical side was arguing that there is no way he would ever in a million years give in. He's just not the type. That, and he probably doesn't even know he wants to snog her senseless.
Can't wait 'til the next chapter; you have yet to produce anything less then awesome :o) I'm also really interested to know what that green light was, because I have a feeling my guess was just wishful thinking taking over my brain.
Thanks for the update,
Sue.

P.S.
Sirius is nothing more then boxers? You get extrasuperspecial bonus points for that. Severus next maybe?
Author's Response: Gosh every one of your reviews never fails to make me smile :D You are so flattering and thoughtful and I am so glad that you are enjoying my story so much! I can\'t wait for you to read the next chapter (which is almost done)--I think you will like it too xD
I realy enjoyed the bit about the portraits, that was clever. I think my favorite aspect so far is how Draco has changed and I think that it is a great avenue for him and Hermione to develop a relationship that otherwise, wouldn't have been probable of even possible. Well Done :o)
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I like to come up with ways that make the relationship slightly more probable because this is my favorite ship. I\'m really trying to get the next chapter up soon!
loooong sigh.
Very well done, you can't here it, but I'm applauding you right this very moment. That was very very sweet, and a nice counterpoint to Dumbledore's funeral. What better way to bring those two together. You wrote it perfectly in my opinion. I love that Ron is so shy around Hermione despite the fact that he eats Lavender's face in pubic. And Hermione...ahh, Hermione. She's written wonderfully, still the know it all.
Thanks for the great story,
Sue :o)
Cheers.
So sweet, I really enjoyed this. I basically fell over when I read Snape, he's friggin' hilarious. The parts with Draco and Hermione are so sweet, and I think you wrote it very well. This was also very original, which I love.
Thanks for the story!
Sue :o)
Author's Response: You\'re very welcome, Sue! :-)
I\'m thrilled that you enjoyed the story and that Snape was as fun to read as he was to write!
What really makes my day - the best compliment I could ever receive- is you saying my story is original. *cries* You have no idea how much that means to me.
Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to read my story and leave such a kind review.
*gives big hug*
