Hello! I'm basically just your typical HP fan, who became so addicted to the books that I turned to fanfiction. I don't write often, but I might try and get a new story up soon. I do adore reading and reviewing other authors stories though. And I'm always up for beta-ing!

Date: 08/28/08 Title: Chapter 44: To Be a Prefect
Hahahahahaha. I can't stop laughing! First Remus's reaction to becoming a prefect, then his reaction to his friends' reactions to becoming a prefect, and now a bloody nose and an insane Head Girl? This chapter was hysterical.
Author's Response: Well, Remus was expecting them to mock him for the rest of his life and they didn't, he was confused. And yes the Head Girl is quite insane. Thanks for reading!
Date: 09/01/07 Title: Chapter 15: Research, Bad Potions, and Tryouts
So glad this chapter finally was approved, I've been checking it every day. There is one little thing though, when Remus's cauldron explodes, you refer to the cauldron as 'it', but since you'd just mentioned Slughorn putting his nose over the cauldron, you were actually saying that Slughorn's nose exploded. Still very funny, but a bit confusing. Just fix that up and update soon!
Author's Response: Oops... I exploded Sluggy\'s nose? Ah well, he probably looks better without it. I\'ll go repair the old man\'s nose... Thanks for reading!! I\'m putting 16 in the queue today.
Date: 08/29/08 Title: Chapter 45: Years in the Making
That's so wonderful! I'm so glad they finally figured out how to make their transformations, and now Remus won't be so alone. I also really like how quickly this last chapter got updated, it's such a sweet one, I'm very glad I got to read it before going off to school.
Author's Response: Wait, you can view this chapter? That's weird... I never got a letter saying anything about it. Must go look. Well, anyway, thanks for reading!
Date: 12/16/07 Title: Chapter 27: Ends May Bring Peace
That was so sad! I cried during the last section, the part at the funeral. So sad, but great job!
Author's Response: Funerals tend to be sad... Thanks for reading!
Date: 12/16/07 Title: Chapter 28: The Forbidden Forest
That's so sweet, although James is a bit stupid. I like how the last line echoed the last chapter. It's nice.
Author's Response: Yeah, James has his stupid moments, doesn\'t he? Thanks for reading!
Date: 11/18/07 Title: Chapter 24: Tackling the Boggart
Good chapter. I guess you've seen the movies then, judging by how Remus handled the boggart. I liked your choice of a boggart for Sirius.
Author's Response: I\'ve seen all the movies and chose which of Remus\'s defenses against the boggart was funnier. The balloon won. Sirius is scared of giants! Don\'t ask why... Thanks for reading!
Date: 05/09/08 Title: Chapter 34: Loyalty
"Yeah...leave me alone." I love it. That is exactly how I am when I'm sleeping. My mother always calls when I'm asleep or early in the morning (when I'm asleep) and tries to have deep conversations, and I never have any idea what is going on. I'm glad James is the same way.
Author's Response: I\'m like that too, nothing matters when it\'s between me and my sleep. I always pictured James\'s being unable to listen to anything when he\'s trying to sleep, especially a deep conversation. Thanks for reading!
Date: 08/24/08 Title: Chapter 43: Brownies, Explosions and Wagers
Oh those Lovegoods. Apparently Xeno was just like Luna when he was younger. That's too funny, and I can't wait to find out the real reason for the next Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher leaving. I hope the next chapter is validated soon!
Author's Response: You may or may not have already heard the real reason the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is leaving... Thanks for reading!
Date: 10/09/07 Title: Chapter 19: Dinner Parties and Bad News
That's so sad about Alice's father, and right before Christmas too! I just have one small nitpick. When James and Sirius enter Slughorn's party, you mention the Ravenclaw and two Hufflepuffs as being "among those three", but it's quite confusing that the three you mean are Regulus, Lily, and Snape, because you talked about Regulus for quite a few sentences. It took me a while to figure out. I think making that just a little clearer is the only improvement you could make on an otherwise brillaint chapter!
Author's Response: Yes, poor Alice\'s father, bad holiday present. Hmm... I should look at that. I\'ll go do that right now. Thanks for reading!
Date: 07/24/08 Title: Chapter 41: The Intruder
Oh no! Poor Remus, that is such a mean cliffie! I liked the comparison you had of Regulus to Draco, that was pretty funny. There is one small error you had though in the second to last paragraph. Ajar either means slightly open or in contradiction to. Tables can't actually be either of those things, so you may want to find another adjective for the tables. Other than that great chapter!
Author's Response: Oh, wow, I didn't even notice that. I probably replaced one of the words with something else and didn't completely follow through with the sentence. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll make sure to fix it. Thanks for reading!
Date: 10/21/07 Title: Chapter 20: A Lupine Christmas
That's so cute! I loved the ending, and the beginning. Well, the whole chapter really. I just have two little nitpicks that are in the first two paragraphs. In the very first sentence you added an extra the, making it 'the Christmas'. You probablly either meant 'Christmas' or 'the Christmas Break'. Then in the second paragraph when Peeves has his spectacle, it should be 'involving eight students having pumpkins smashed over their heads' or 'where eight students had pumpkins smashed over their heads'. But this chapter was absolutely brilliant, and I really hope the next one is approved very, very soon!
Author's Response: Ooh me and my added words. I have a bad habit with that, words are either missing or randomly added in. I\'ll fix that and the sentence. Thanks for pointing those out. Thanks for reading, glad you like it!
Date: 04/20/08 Title: Chapter 33: Platform Traditions
Duh duh duh. I love it! I'm so glad the site is back up, I get to read more of my favorite stories! I really liked the part in this when Remus wrote about Sirius in a dress. Such a funny mental image, and I love when Remus is the sarcastic one.
Author's Response: I\'m glad the site is back up too. So many awesome fics to catch up on. Yeah, Sirius harbors a secret desire to wear frilly dresses, didn\'t you know? Remus makes for a great sarcastic personality. Thanks for reading!
Date: 11/02/07 Title: Chapter 22: Another Year Ends
They're starting to find out more of the secrets of the school. Are they going to make the Marauder's Map soon?
Author's Response: Nope, still a long time before that. I remember Lupin saying that once they became Animagi they found out the majority of the castle secrets and wrote the map. Fifth or sixth year is for that. Thanks for reading!
Date: 09/20/07 Title: Chapter 17: Abandonment
Poor Remus! He must feel so horrible. I have to say though, one of my favorite parts of this chapter was Peter arguing with James. I'm so glad you gave him a backbone. So few authors do, and I've always felt like the whining, wannabe maurader that they usually portray him as just isn't quite right.
Author's Response: Yes, Peter has a backbone! There\'s more than jello back there. Thanks for reading!
Date: 08/24/07 Title: Chapter 14: Back to School
The endings to your chapters are always so deep sounding it makes me laugh. I absolutely love the story though, it seems very realistic, except for having so many of the same professors. Still, it's one of the best marauder fics I've read. I can't wait until the next chapter gets approved!
Author's Response: Not all of them are... chapter ten, for instance, that wasn\'t deep, just weird. But you\'re right about most of them. Yeah, the only professors we know for sure were there are Flitwick, McGonagall and Slughorn, the others are left up to guesswork. Glad you like it! Thanks for reading!
Date: 11/19/07 Title: Chapter 25: The Room of Requirement
That is such a sweet chapter! I like it, but I have one little nitpick. At one point, Sirius calls Remus back when the door finally appears. You have him calling him back with a question mark, but I think you meant an exclamation point. You might just want to check that.
Author's Response: Ooh... maybe I did mean that. I have to look back. Thanks for pointing that out! Glad you liked it!
Date: 12/03/07 Title: Chapter 26: Hogsmeade
Haha, pillow fights are great. They're all so funny, the way you write them is absolutely brilliant. Didn't Alice's father die during the Christmas holidays though? I don't remember, I havn't read that chapter for a while. Good work!
Author's Response: Yes, pillow fights are awesome! Particularly when Sirius hides his shoe in one of them. If I was Remus, I would\'ve wanted revenge too. No, Alice\'s father died before Halloween, but I can see where you\'d get confused. The Christmas chapter was right after that. Thanks for reading!
Date: 07/01/08 Title: Chapter 39: Lockdown
Whoa. Fenrir is one scary dude. I hope he doesn't hurt anyone. But why was James's practice canceled early?
Author's Response: Very scary dude. James\'s practice could have been cancelled for several reasons. I like to believe that team ganged up on the captain and demanded a break. Thanks for reading!
Date: 08/04/08 Title: Chapter 42: Say Something
Oh poor Remus. I'm so glad that once again, the other marauders helped him to get over his sadness. And I'm so glad that he ends up with someone wonderful like Tonks! I know that's not in your story, but it just makes me very happy.
Author's Response: Throughout Hogwarts, the Marauders will always be there, it's once school's out that that becomes harder. There will be mention of Tonks in the epilogue... Thanks for reading!
Date: 05/26/08 Title: Chapter 35: Infirmary Visits and Warnings
Yay! I love this story. Oh my, it looks like Snape's figured it out. I adore your writing, but there are just a few little editting things you may want to fix. They actually made me giggle when I read them. At one point you wrote death when I think you meant desk, and at another you wrote potion when I think you meant patient.
Author's Response: Wow, I\'d laugh too if I saw those. I think I made a mistake like that in a chapter I was just writing, luckily I caught it. I\'ll fix those. Thanks for reading!
