bluebird161221 chapter 1 . 3/20/2004 I postivly love the story line so far, it explains alot non-biased-like. It was sort of Severus's fault, but some Black and Potters fault. I love it so far, lets see what's next eh? |
oasis chapter 13 . 3/18/2004 i liked this story specially the proposal scene between frank and dianne or alice, it was funny he gave the wrong thing instead of the ring. serius falling into the cake was also funny. obviously it is not ootp compliant and i don't know if you should try makeing it so as obviously lily and james only got together in the seventh year. also it was good how snape was going to work for both sides, very slytherin! where is the sequel by the way, i thought it would be posted by now. |
fancycat chapter 3 . 3/8/2004 WOW! NEVER have I seen a fanfic that I gave more than 4/5 stars, but yours tops it! Although I am only on chapter 4, I can can see it is unbiased, sticking to the facts, creative, poetic, and just altogether great! I wish Ms. Rowling could read this, be cool if she could give you permission to publish it... (Woah, Im a major suck-up, huh!) Heh, heh. I love Snapie! Peace out! -' |
peregrinepandora chapter 1 . 1/28/2004 Awesome start, I'll have to come back another day when I'm not so busy so I can finish it. |
textualsphinx chapter 13 . 1/10/2004 Oh, so you're not dead then - Two requests. If you substantially rewrite I Was Right to make it chime with canon up to OOtP, please could you leave the original version up? I like it, whatever you think its faults are, and it's a great Snape classic as it stands. Not that I don't look forward to a rewrite incorporating the true characters of the Marauders. I never thought Rowling would dare topple her Golden Boys so. Secondly, please re-post chapter "14" - "1" of "When Morning Comes" - even if we wait ages for chapter 2. BTW, I'm absolutely certain you're not following "A Decoding of the Heart" because of the student-teacher thing, but I have to tell you that its chapter 3 concludes with Snape hypnotising himself to sleep - with the help of his ever-coiling snake Salomé - murmuring "When morning comes, I will not wake. When morning comes, I will not wake. When morning -" (I think you'll appreciate the echo of the prayer "If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take".) Makes a nice title. |
Anasyasya chapter 12 . 1/4/2004 Happiest day of my life! Three years Ive waited for this day. My fav. ever fic! Im going to cry from happiness. I wont describe why and how much I LOVE your fic, just… dont disappear again, please… never… By the way do you know that your fics was translated to other languages? I personally saw it in German and Russian, for instance. |
LIWY chapter 11 . 12/28/2003 I enjoyed this chapter immensely. You're writing style is excellent. The only flaw is the fact that you slip into having MWPP refer to themselves as the 'marauders', which is a bit jarring in serious fic (though somewhat forgivable in MSTs and other humor stories). |
Skjeve chapter 13 . 11/24/2003 This has been a most pleasurable experience. It is rare that I stumble across a truly well-written piece of fan fiction- (something written out of actual understanding of characters and motivations as outlined in the actual books, designed to support the original story rather than fulfill some Mary Sue-driven personal fantasy)- but I Was Right certainly falls into that elusive category. Severus Snape is certainly a complex and many-layered character, that much is evident even in the rather limited glimpses we receive in Ms. Rowling's works, and I admit to a fascination with him over the rest of the characters in the series. I found your exploration of his personality and his history believable, often touching, and most importantly, well written. I firmly feel you remain true to the character as conceived by Ms. Rowling, and I feel you offer valid insight through that. Whether that is true can only be answered by the author herself... but I trust my instincts. I want to thank you for an wonderful piece of fiction. I come away with a better understanding for the core character that will make reading Ms. Rowling's further explorations that much more enjoyable. |
Eternity's Angel chapter 13 . 11/17/2003 Ah..that was sad..can we have a epilogue? Please? |
Sydney chapter 13 . 11/6/2003 Holy hannah! You're back! And revising! I guess I should dust off the illustrations I was doing for this, I don't know if you ever even saw these: group/SQ_EnchantedPaintbrush/files/SydPad%20demos/I%20Was%20Right%20in%20progress/ (I think you're a member of the Group, just click 'sign up' if you're not)... I can't tell you how great it is to see you active again, you talented thing you! I hope you're working on some orginial stuff as well (though naturally Snape ought to be your first priority...). |
kitzamaeve chapter 13 . 11/4/2003 This was my second read of the story and I must say I am thrilled that you have finally come back to it :) It is easily the best characterization of Snape (outside of cannon of course) that I have ever read and I love it :P You're right that you need to revise some things based on OOtP of course (like Mei-lin Jin, who im guessing you meant to be Mrs. Lestrange who turns out to be named Bellatrix) and you're right the Whomping Willow story kinda sticks out a bit, but I'm sure an author of your talent will be able to smooth that over pretty well :) no pressure :) anyhoo. just wanted to say glad u're back and keep up the excellent work! |
Andromeada chapter 1 . 11/1/2003 That was nice. You were very descriptive, although try to use a better vocabulary to catch interest. On a rating scale from 0-10, (0bad 10excellent) I'd give you a 9.9! |
Amarain chapter 1 . 10/30/2003 Well, I've only read the first chapter and I am very impressed. Your work in portraing Snape was excellent. It's a mark of creativity when a writer doesn't strictly follow what canon leads them to believe. In particular, I enjoyed the scene between Severus and James. When Snape stood up and looked him in the eye, it was so symbolic of their later rivalries. Great work, I look forward to reading more. ~ Amarain |
Ada Kensington chapter 3 . 10/30/2003 *smiles* I'm very, very much looking forward to "If Morning Comes" and I am so glad (you have no idea) that you have decided to continue with this storyline. "I Was Right" is utterly wonderful. It always has been and always will be. Don't worry too much about Book Five. This fic is good enough to stand on its own. Yours somewhat impatiently, - Ada K. |
katie chapter 13 . 10/25/2003 oh... I love it I love it! finish it finish it!
