Reviews for Making an Effort

From one degenerate to another *snorts*, when it comes to lemons, less can be more, trust me. And it's less embarrassing to post that way. Others' mileages may vary, but that's how I see it. I look forward to seeing the next.

Author's Response: Hmm...I think that's true, though I don't like euphemisms much, either. Guess I'm trying to strike a balance between "her bosom heaved...his nostrils flared" kind of stuff, and the bodilly fluids dripping off the ceiling genre that I've sometimes enjoyed, though somewhat uneasily. And then work up the nerve to post it.

Wonderful chapter! Tonks is a lovely character that I've never been able to see with Snape until now. You do them both justice!

Author's Response: Thanks, Lisa! If I can convince a non-shipper, then my work is done. I previously thought that Remus was a much more plausible match for Tonks, and then I read excellent fics by smoke and Gina Snape, and came on over to the dark side.

I wonder if it will be the stupidest thing she's ever done. Your Tonks has a lot more intelligence than any other I've come across. She must have excelled in Auror training and been at the top of her class. Her intuition must be her greatest strength in her work.

Author's Response: I think of it as an impulsive thing for both of them; sort of like a war-time romance. And yes; Aurors have to think on their feet.

Oh no! *now* I'm caught up. Whine. Snivel. Most excellent chapter. I love the twins, and it's definitely going to be fun having Tonks POV on student life, not to mention finally cuddling up to Snape :*)

Author's Response: The twins are loads of fun to write, but the cuddling of Snape and Tonks is definitely more challenging. Not the writing part, but the posting on-line part. I'm fighting some inhibitions here, and we'll see.

hee hee, attacksnog! That was a really cute prank Tonks played on Snape, and I loved his reaction "so this is how it feels to be Lucius"!

Author's Response: I love riffing on movie!Lucius. He looks like he could be the father of Orlando Bloom's character in "Lord of the Rings."

I'm just starting this story now and I love it. I'm getting quite fond of the Snape/Tonks pairing, and this one works well. I *love* the idea that Tonks is hiding her resemblance to Bellatrix, it is so very plausable, and how cool that she can.

Author's Response: To be perfectly honest, I'm not the first to exploit the idea that Tonks doesn't look like what we think. But I hope what I do with it is original.

Very nice job on this one. I love how you captured classroom!Severus during her Potions lesson, I loved her hindsight observations of his teaching style. Nice job weaving in the events of the book and giving us some behind the scenes action, hopefully soon to be more action. The office scene was very well done. I love her play at being clumsy. :D

Author's Response: Sometimes I'll remember something one of my high school teachers did and realise that the teacher was manipulating us, or even playing a trick on us to make us learn, or to just get us to behave, so I put that sort of perspective here. And thanks for the comments on the office scene--it was a lot harder to write than the earlier parts of the chapter.

Tsk tsk. I'm not sure I like where this seems to be going: the man needs to SLEEP, he's tired :-).

Interesting chapter, and very different from the rest - it's probably the fact that Tonks is at once a student and an Auror. You provide a fascinating account of Snape in his Hogwarts environment by picturing him from the viewpoint of an adult in a student's place, free of the usual bias against a nasty teacher. I'm looking forward to the next instalment!

Author's Response: Considering what long days he's putting in, he might need a little help relaxing before he can fall asleep. And I'm glad you like the adult perspective on Snape--that's a major part of what I like to explore in my fics.

This chapter is chockful of wonderful stuff! The hot and cold running 'Veritaserum,' the drawerful of bottles of red ink, the psychology of the jars of nasty things. And this relationship is suddenly heating up...whew! What made Snape suddenly amenable to that? Do I see lemons on the horizon? Tsk, tsk, Snape taking a female student to his room! ;~)

Author's Response: Thanks for your comments on the descriptive details; description gives a story more texture, I think. And I hope it didn't seem too sudden, though there were supposed to be lemons in this chapter, and I chickened out. I've never posted such stuff before, and I'm being a bit shy about it. And yes; Snape taking a student to his rooms--only complete degenerates write stories like this ;-)

aw! poor severus, l'd give him sympathy when he wanted it!

Author's Response: Me, too!
