Hello^^
I've read the french translation of Herema of "the Measure of a Man" and before sending a review to the translator, I wanted to send one for you.

I really had a lot of pleasure to read your OS, and just for it, I think you're a genius. I've read a lot of fictions in different languages but just few of them had caught me like yours.
An interesting story, fine and very well descriptions, a little bit of humor and coherence... It's near of the perfection, on my mind^^

So... congratulations for your story, it's awsome and amazing. Thank you very much for having written it.
Kisses from the French West Indies.

(and sorry for the mistakes...^^')

A very exciting story! I did notice a few misspellings & typos - I can't help myself (like Adrian Monk says: it's a blessing... and a curse). But they didn't distract much from what is a well-told tale and a gripping plot. Another lovely bit of work - thanks for posting it.

That was a great read. I loved their interaction. It was genuine and real and not too rushed. Odd pairing that worked very well at the author's talent.
Great fic.

Thank you for this story. I really enjoy reading your work. You did a great job with Remus' and Bill's characters.
In fact, I would love to translate it in French. Would you agree?
I think the French community on FFnet would love reading 'The measure of a man' just as much as I did.
If you don't want, no probs. If you hesitate, just ask me whatever you want, I wrote my e-mail adress with this review. If you want some details, same thing.
I'm not in a hurry at all, just take your time to think about it.

Thank you, and good luck for you future writing works.

Brilliant. I love this fic. Love it, love it, love it. I love the way you characterized Bill and Remus, I love the relationship dynamic between Remus and Severus, I love how this story manages to be thoroughly plot-driven and thoroughly character-driven at the same time. I was going to write a Remus/Bill myself, that's how I found this fic, but I'm no longer sure if I'm up to the task, you've left rather big shoes to fill. Bloody excellent work of fiction.

However, not perfect. I have only two small suggestions:

1. The plot, while extremely original and engaging, tends to move along in huge sort of lurches that leave the reader a tad disoriented and sometimes require a second reading. I may have only been confused because I was reading this with a fever of about 101, but I was still a tad confused.

2. There were enough small spelling, punctuation, and gramatical errors for me to notice. Just minor things like "said Bill with a grinned" instead of "said Bill wiht a grin" and "wave" instead of "waive." Maybe you should have an additional proofreader or two?

Still, can't complain. This is one of the best things I've read on fanfiction in a long, long time. Thank you.

*hurries off to see what else you've written*

What a story! Definitely one of the best I read!
I like the way Remus and Severus still care and look out for each other.
And the suspense is also good, it reads like a real detective story.

Lovely story! I like the bit about Charlie: "Dragons aren't sufficiently life-threatening?" in re Severus. Well, a lot of Gryffs _are_ danger junkies!

Glad to see Remus happy.

Sequel?

That was beautiful! I hadn't really considered this pairing but it makes sense.

I do hope you'll write a companion piece with Severus and Charlie. *wink*

I liked your fic very much because of the humor and the traces of a detective novel in a not-too-long story! The way Severus and Remus were behaving around each other was just great. What I missed a bit was an explanation about Bill, because he himself was bitten by Greyback, wasn't he (although in human form)?
All in all it was one of your very special stories I like so much!
Thank you for letting me forget I have to do homework! ;-) And of course the story in itself!
Yours,
Meta

Ah, this was a refreshing story. Severus just the way I love him (snarky), my beloved Remus, and Bill in all his Weasley glory. Aside from a lack of transitional markings between scenes, this was a wonderful story.

Erudite without being pedantic, sharp visuals, dead-on dialogue, clockwork perfect plot; all as usual! Loved it! Thanks for writing and sharing. :)
