 daysandweeks 2006-11-22 . chapter 3Wow. That was amazing. This point of view isn't often discussed...and I loved it. I was so impressed and I'm glad I stumbled across this! I'm off to read the next installment--keep up the fantastic work! |
 Maelys 2006-10-16 . chapter 3This story is bittersweet but very true. I love the way you describe your characters who looks human in more way than a lot of others charcaters are not. |
 luminarium 2006-07-08 . chapter 1fantastic story, artfully written, very lovely! |
 Ella Palladino 2005-12-09 . chapter 3This is written so well!! And I love all the details and info you've put in. Please continue this and update soon! P/P is great, man I wish they'd end up together canon. That would be awesome. |
 Possum132 2005-11-30 . chapter 3Brilliant. Can't wait for the Percy POV. Looks like Percy is not Dumbledore's man in the Ministry in this fic. |
 Shippopotamus 2005-11-30 . chapter 3First about the new Author's Note: I didn't mean to offend you as I honestly had no clue that any text placed Penny in a later year (my copy is a late edition). But alot of authors don't pay any attention to details (specially with years) and after awhile it gets on one's nerves.
As to the story content: I honestly feel it's rather good- certainly loads better than most Percy stories. I At time I think you place more emphasis on Percy's mistakes than necessary and hope that in future chapters there will be at last some acknowledgment from Arthur that he was in the wrong as well. On the whole, it's been a worthwhile read. |
 coinoperatedbecca 2005-11-27 . chapter 1this is such a great story, i don't really see any Penelope stories often... glad to see that you had written about her!

 k4writer02 2005-11-25 . chapter 2I stumbled across one of your stories, A Romance With Dragons, last month and was blown away. You have a real talent for writing mature, emotional, well-characterized stories in the Harry Potter world. I didn't review right away because I wanted to read all of your stories and then send a glowing fannish review your direction.
I'm just so impressed. Your style is gorgeous and well-managed and your characterization is spot on. I love Penelope and the web you're weaving around her. Your familiarity with the British education system adds depth to the family interactions and conflict of expectations and the reality of life on the border of the Muggle and Wizarding worlds. I think that the way you show the impact of enormous events on characters' personal lives--ie Eleventh of August--is simply gorgeous. And having all your stories interlock is an impressive feat of craft. I hope you continue writing and posting! |
 Possum132 2005-11-24 . chapter 2Oi! At last, another chapter - great stuff, more soon please. I just love these thoughtful, nuanced explorations of the Muggle/wizard interface. |
 chattypandagurl 2005-11-24 . chapter 2It was quite a long wait for this chapter, but it was worth it. This was a nice intimate chapter between two people who've been hurt and betrayed by Percy, and also had some nice observations about the difference between Penelope's two worlds. Great job, you really nailed their characters, can't wait for the confrontation between Penelope and Percy! |
 Ella Palladino 2005-11-16 . chapter 1This is great!! UPDATE!! |
 Ithlien 2005-10-24 . chapter 1Finally a story that focuses mainly on Penelope rather than having her as a minor reference in a Percy fic. I adore the Percy/Penelope angst relationship that you so greatly portray |
 Shippopotamus 2005-09-26 . chapter 1You do realize that Penny is in the same grade as Percy, and is most likely older than him (unless she's born between Aug 23 and Sept. 1). |
 Possum132 2005-09-26 . chapter 1Another brilliant vignette about a minor character, exploring the Muggle/wizard interface - great stuff! |
 crazyspaceystracey 2005-09-25 . chapter 1Brava! M'Dear, Brava! I adored this. It's a wonderful look at Penny. People rarely do this.
I especially loved the reapeated line. It was sweet, in a way, that two people so brilliant, so responsible, so assured, could be at the same time so innocent, so hopelessly and utterly naïve.
Perfect. I hope this does evolve into something longer, but even if it doesn't thank you for writing this. |
