A unique idea. I wish it was longer, so I could learn more about everyone though. I like Phineas in this, so snappy and sweet.

I thoroughly enjoyed this - it's very believable and witty story. Phineas is really awesome in this, just enough to be realistic though. Thank you for writing it!

I'm impressed! I thought I was the only one who was su utterly onseesed with thise black haired pricks, I believed to be the only one ever feeling the need to write Marius' story.
I like it!

Will you read mine once it's finished?

THANK YOU for writing a fic about Marius. A good fic at that. I love how you characterized Phineas Nigellus. It was spot on. The whole line about Muggles not being stupid might've come across and out of character, because that's not exactly what you'd expect from a Black, but I feel like older Slytherins, that is, pre-Voldemort, might have a bit more respect for Muggles (think Slughorn, for example). Really great job, the writing was wonderful.

This was an interesting read. I've always wondered about Marius and you brought him to life, made him an actual person. I wonder what happened to him, do you think you could write that?

I like reading stuff on members of the Black family besides Andromeda, Narcissa, Sirius, Regulus, Draco and Nymphadora.

There ought to be more Phineas stories - he's a wonderful character, so much more than just a portrait. And you managed to turn Marius from a name into a person, no mean accomplishment. I wonder how and where he ended up, eventually. Well, whatever, compliments for a good story.

I loved it, especially the idea. Can I get permission to mention this in some of my stories (just in passing) and all credit goes to you? I can be contacted through my friend 'icecreamlova' because I don't have an account yet...

*applauds happily* Bravo, bravo. Once again, well done work, and well written story. Gotta love hanging around your stories, although I would like to see more of your writing. Apparently, however, you're lost in an original work. I'll just have to wish you well on that so that it gets done faster, eh? Thus, good luck, and I hope to see more of whatever you turn out soon.
F & N

that was utterly awesome. I'm glad I came across it :)

That was real good

Phineas is such an interesting character, and I like your portrayal of him here. Uncle Sirius was mildly confusing the first time you mentioned him, but I expect you're right and they do reuse the names. And I love the idea of the Black family 'fire'. All the Blacks we meet are very intense people.

Nicely done.

I liked Phineas out of all the characters in the HP universe, and you've managed to convey his seemingly aloof nature very nicely.

I like how you have Phineas say that there's more to being a Black than just having magic, and it's incredibly true. You wrote Phineas very well, having him be sympathetic and yet in character at the same time. I really like this fic!

Very good - poor Marius.

I enjoyed this piece so very much! Phineas is my favorite character, and I love the voice he has here. How nice to see a story about a squib.
