I'm in my mid-twenties and have been a huge HP fan since 2001. Other than all things Harry, I also love CSI, Law and Order, and singing at the top of my lungs (usually to 3 Doors Down). If you asked my co-workers they would probably state that they think I'm a bit crazy, especially when I'm dancing at my desk to my iPod...
I've loved the site for awhile and just recently got the nerves to post my own story.
I hope you enjoy Talitha, she's a creation that came to me one day when I was walking my dog up a huge hill, listening to (what else) 3DD's "You Don't Know Me", the lyrics, "You love me but you don't know who I am, I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand" just clicked in my head and Talitha came to life!
Your story is intoxicating! Your beautiful descriptions of the world surrounding Maeve, your on target character descriptions, and your flow of words is enough to make any reader drunk with glee. I love your story, it is so nice to read about things from Maeve's POV. 10!
All I can say right now is wow...your imagery thoroughout this entire story has been fantastic, but this last chapter, it was outstanding. Someone mentioned in a review about your writing being poetic, and I whole-heartedly agree. Your desciptions were so beautiful, I had tears in my eyes. I could almost feel the cold. I could feel the pain of your characters. You did an absolutely excellent job with the ending. It left you feeling satsified, something you don't always get. Wonderful job and I can't wait to read more of your work.
Very nicely done, I think the explanation of the polyjuice potion and Hagrid's physiology was perfect. Nice job Chriss! A great way for Remus to get answers, and how nice it was that it was someone other than Dumbledore giving them, even if Tonks did get most of them from him! Don't get me wrong, I love Dumbledore, but it was refreshing to hear the answers from another POV. Excellent work, I look forward to the next chapter.
Wonderful chapter, it was nice to see that Remus can accept responsiblities for his actions, though, we've always known that, haven't we? I did feel for the guy though, what one of us hasn't acted in the moment out of rash emotion? Even Dumbledore admitted to it! Please update soon, but here's hoping Remus will be a little happier in this one...
Very well done. I think you've written Lupin quite well...it seems to me that his emotions throughout this chapter are bang on. You've done an amazing job with this story, and I have throughly enjoyed it. Outstanding job.
Oh my god, what an evil ending! I can't believe it. What a wonderful chapter you've written, I love how you've described what Remus FEELS during each transformation. It makes him so much more real to the reader. Great great job, but you better update soon!
WONDERFUL!!! I will fix that image forever in my mind, Rita Skeeter with a cane driven up her nose! *Sighs contently* Two claps to Kris, for her ghost writing of Rita, it was very well done. Made me want to squash Rita like the bug that she is. Great job, loved it, as usual, and I can't wait for the next installment.
Wonderful work. I just read the last 3 chapters in a row, fulling intending to review everyone, but I couldn't stop reading! The cliffhanger in this one, though, well done. I am dying to know what Kane has to say to Remus. I especially love how you've written Tonks. It is nice to know that Remus has a friend. Great job and I can't wait for the next chapter.
Nice work! I particularly enjoyed the thumb war this chapter and the idea of selling chocolate Ritas during a public thrashing last chapter! Your writing is very well done, both with drama and humor. Good job!
Wonderful job! And, if you don't like a story, why bother continuing to read it, then? There are better ways to review a story, rather than being insulting. Learn the meaning of constructive critcism. Honestly. Great job, like I said, but what an evil cliffhanger! I can't wait for the update! 10!
Gee, a cliffie, where have we seen that before? =) Wonderful superb chapter, it was incredibly moving. The image of Rey at the end, stroking his son's blood soaked werewolf fur was extremely powerful. As many have said before, please don't kill off Remus, with all the suspense you've put us through it would break my heart. You blew me away, as usual, and I can't wait to read your next chapter.
Great job! As a number of others have said, I LOVED Ron's additions to the petition, I was laughing so hard! Thanks for giving Ron a bit of the glory too, by the way, he rarely gets any, so it was very nice. Let's just hope Snape doesn't try and make Harry's life any worse than he all ready has (is that even possible?). But, it's been said many times, the truth hurts, and poor old Snivelly just got a big spoonful of it! Nice work! Update as soon as they let you! 10.
Yes, muggleborn resentfully, you are right of course. I realized that after I posted the review, it was just a bit of denial talking in me. But I will still hold my little flicker for Sirius, wherever he may be....p.s. I love your screen name! ANYWAY... What a lovely written chapter. Poor Rey, to lose your wife and your son? How heart wrenching. The description of Winter's Hollow was superb, I could see it quite clearly in my mind's eye. Your work is excellent, but poor Harry! To lose your parents, your godfather and the last known childhood friend of your parents, your last link? My oh my, you are mean to your characters! =) Great job, keep up the excellent work and please update soon.
HURRAH!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! You just made my day. Great chapter, thanks for keeping on the edge of my seat for just a couple days instead of a much longer time! Wonderful work.
Awww, I feel for Moony. He did make his own bed, but still....it was a moment of emotional turmoil. That nasty Snape is getting to him. Grrr...Anyways, great chapter, but now I'm nervous about what's to come in the next few, as you warned us....Can't wait to read them!
Wow, loving your story. I love the idea of using a ghost as a messanger, and you were right, it just HAD to be Nick. I can't wait to go on and read the next chapter, and I love the fact that Remus tapped into reserves to save the kids...it just seemed very Moony of him. You do him great justice with your characterization, great job!
This is a great story! I was laughing so hard at Tonks, dragging Lupin out by the ear! Wonderful image. Keep up the good work! Update soon!
Oh my, oh my, do I need to change my screen name to mad4siriusANDremus? I understand, I really do, what a great ending for the last true Maurader, but please, please, please don't let it be true. I still hold a little candle of hope for Sirius, even though...well like Gianna said, Severus did say he could put a stopper in death. WAKE HIM UP, DAMN IT! OK, OK, deep breath, great job, I loved it and please update soon or I will find your bunker and demand you tell me the rest of the story! =)
Very interesting chapter...I don't know if I feel comfortable with Harry and Ginny sharing that much information with Cassandra or not...I'm not sure whether or not we should trust her. As for Jaime, I really appauld how you are creating her, she's a great character.
Whoa, great action in this chapter. I hope everyone turns out allright. I can't wait to read more, and I'm glad Harry's questioning Snape as Jaime's godfather....I feel as he does too, wouldn't James pitched a fit over that one? I wonder still up Sirius is up to. Update soon.
