| "Do you think it wise to sleep with an open door, Kinsington? Any sort of evil could just walk right in,? he snapped in a rather foul way.
?Any sort of evil just did!? I snapped back

Brilliant lines! I've been meaning to say this before, but I give you a lot of credit for tackling abuse/rape in this fic--not an easy thing to write about. Again, you seem to have a knack for blending the dark stuff with the everyday humor etc. that keeps most of us from drowning in all the shite! Author's Response: I am very fond of those lines! I didn't want to make this into a rape-fic where Snape turns out to be the savior and I hope that it doesn't come off that way. It is just an unfortunate event, though it does have significance in a way later on in the story. Sometimes, I am torn between homour and drama and where to use what. Ellie is strong, but rather childish at times. And Snape acts like a teenager around her most of the time. It is a habit, I suppose, from their experiences together as youngsters. #Liz P.S. I am glad you are not drowning in shite. The smell would be awful! | |||

| Awww...okay, yes, he has gone soft and AU and all that, but as I like the man and don't think he is 100% evil, it is a guilty pleasure (like chocolate!) to see him written as "Snape in Love." I laugh happily at the thought of what Snape was REALLY doing while Ms. Granger was busy getting herself petrified. The scene between Ellie and the children was quite tender. On I go... Author's Response: Back for more? Thank you so much for your thoughtful reviews. I also do not believe that he is 100% evil, just 70%. I think I wrote bipolar!Snape. One minute he is a git, the next he is mister cuddles. LOL! | |||

| You have a a most wonderful way with words--"well past wasted" "Make good use of your flapping jaws and chew" and I love your Snape! Not to gush, and pardon the horrid metaphor, but your have created a very powerful narrative cake with lots of lovely gooey icing and decorations. It is a very appealing combination. Mmm... Author's Response: LOL! Thank you so much! I love my Snape as well...uhm...Severus! I thought it was a lovely metaphor. Severus and cake, who could ask for more. Got milk? #Liz | |||

| Oh...heartbreaking. The interactions between Ellie & the canon characters are great fun...and "You'll find that not everything has to be sickly sweet to be palatable" should be Snape's tag-line! He should hire you to do his PR. Author's Response: I just wondered what it would be like to have a girl thrown into the mix a bit. I also wondered what it would have been like IF Lucius had been in the same year as Snape. Things may have turned out differently, or not. Glad you like Snape dialogue and the Ellie/canon interactions. Thanks for reviewing! It is a f**king long story! #Liz | |||

| Well, Miss EllieK, what were you whinging on about? This is a wonderful start to a story...I like the idea that she has a horrible past (sounds worse than Snape's) and that she was the one who horribly wronged him (or so he thinks). And that you manage to create fabulous humor--all of the present-day exchanges in the Potions classroom!--in the midst of this dramatic tale is a credit to your talents as a writer. If only Harvard could hear what Snape thinks! Author's Response: Well, Miss Grainne, we are our own worst critics. I am actually rather proud of the first several chapters. This story is AU, as you will soon find out. There are several canon flaws, which are intentional, but I think it can still be an enjoyable read. Just a little fantasy, you know. The past scenes are some of my favourites, as they were a blast to write. In my opinion, the writing tends to go down hill as the story goes on, but, what the hell, it was fun. Thanks for the kind words! #Liz | |||

That's one hell of a long name you've got there ;) Thanks for the kind words! There are many, many aspects of this story which are not quite right. However, I do hope you continue to enjoy reading it. Feel free to speak your mind in future reviews because I welcome constructive criticism. Every little bit helps, you know. Thanks again! | |||

| This is a great soaring masterpiece, consummate in its wit and brilliance, infused with luminous imagery and butterfly-delicate characters. Author's Response: Thanks, but I really did prefer your honest review earlier. | |||

| This is full of American cliches! People in Britain don't say these things. It's strange for me reading it, since I'm Welsh, and I can't see anyone in Harry Potter using any of the speech you wrote. In fact - no-one would, since it is very bad writing.
Read some good books, and try again. Author's Response: Wow. This is actually the first mean spirited review I have ever received. First, I would like to thank you for your honesty. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I do have a small question, if the writing is so terribly bad, why did you read all the way to chapter 16? I do wish you had been a bit more constructive in your criticism. I welcome constructive criticism. I wish you had given specific examples of what you considered most appalling, blatant American clichés aside. Writing fanfiction is about having fun. Reading it should also be fun. If you don't enjoy a story, it is advisable to stop reading before you have read over 100,000 words. I doubt that you will read any further, but, if you do, I will welcome your reviews. Thanks again for taking the time to read and review. BTW, where are your stories? Perhaps you could do better than I. | |||
