rate_review Reviews

Okay, I accidentally deleted the following review. Here it is, copy and pasted from the email I recieved.

It is from someone called BlueAlquimista


Oh, please... the typical bad-boys are wonderful!!!... and Harry was a hero, but Ron is a bas*#rd... and in the end, Hermione and Ginny will be in love with Lucius and/or Snape... I'm sorry but I dont 'buy' this... for something like this chose original characters, not 'know' characters than only have the name in common with the cannon.



bye.


And since AFF has no response system set up, here is my rebuttal:

First: If you had bothered to read the introduction to the story, you would have read that the entire premise was a response to a challenge. If you have issues with Ron being a shitehead in the story, please contact Gryffindorclutz. She is the one who wrote the premise, I simply found it intriguing.

Second: If you had bothered to read the story at all, you would have found that Hermione doesn't end up with Lucius. She ends up with Draco. In the second story, which I am writing right now, Ginny ends up with Snape, who incidentally, was a hero in canon, or haven't you read the books?

In this universe, Harry died. I certainly hope Ginny wouldn't curl and die. She's too strong a character for that.

Third: in this universe, Tonks lives. Albeit, she crawls out of a mass grave at Hogwarts from beside the body of the man she loved most. She ends up being in a forced marriage after a horrific night of torture to Lucius.

Fifth: Ron, at this juncture is an imbecile in the stories. He's suffering from PTSD and trying to hang on by his teeth and nails. I have plans for him in another story. Again, if you read this story, you would have known that.

When an author asks for reviews, please have the courtesy to actually read the story before you blast them. If you had, you wouldn't have sounded like such a whinging idiot.

Wow...that was sheer and utter genius. An undeniably addicting story, it captivates in the very first few words. I loved how you took an almost Oedipus like turn in the beginning, with the odd relationship between father, son, and Hermione, and continued throughout with the relationship dynamic in a realistic manner. As always, I am glad to see Ron as something other than yet another perfect addition to the Golden Trio, although I was sad to hear of Harry's death. Do you happen to write original stories at all, with your own original characters? If so, I would love to read them, unless you have yet to finish them of course. In that case you'll have to write faster and get published sooner, so that I can begin being an official fangirl of your work.

Addicted to your words,

Odi

hey tambra, I am writing for two things, firstly congratulations on finishing a brilliant piece of story that had every emotion known to man, which in turn had me riveted to the screen as I read and laughed, screamed, cried and cursed so many times. And Goodluck on the second instalment on the story the werewolf chronicles, brilliant if I do say so. I loved everything u have done in the intial story and dont think I will ever read such a magnificent and unique story of that nature again. I look forward to reading more of your works in the future.

SECONDLY AND THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT SO READ...PLZ:
I have come across a disturbing situation in that I have started reading a story and it is like some copied and pasted your ideas and into the story although it is somewhat abbreviated and rushed to maqke time to have passed longer in the story. I was shocked and befuddled by the audacity of the similarities, it is wrong when ppl steal ideas like this, and it makes it harder for writers to feel safe with their original ideas. The name of the story is "The Secrets Women Keep" by PersephoneBlck you can probably check it out and let me know. And also I dont know if the entire story is gonna be the same lines as yours its only 8chapters in, but the same outwieghs the different.
My email is scarlet_witch_extreme@hotmail.com let me what u think.

Since I fixed the disclaimer three times already, I don't understand what the problem is. Please put my story back up.

Brilliant! This story was a work of art, and I only say it that way because my mind can not begin to explain how great it was. Work Of Art! looking forward to reading more of your stuff. xoxox

(Epilogue)


Firstly, let me say that it was such a pleasure to read this story. So well written, so well thought out, and I was really honoured to be asked to beta the chapter for you, as well as a bit smug that I got to see it first! I do so love a happy ending. I'm glad that Hermione's love for Draco won out and they were able to make a life together. I love it that Tonks is pregnant; that she and Lucius have been able to make their forced marriage into something workable and comfortable. I like it that Tonks seems to take just so much of Lucius' natural, somewhat imperious behaviour before verbally knocking him down a peg. There seems to be, if not love, at least a true affection there. And the line with Ginny informing Draco she is a "Snapette" now rather than a "Weaselette" was good, as was Severus' shouting for his trousers. I'm both happy and sad to see this story end, but am overjoyed that you'll be writing more in this 'verse', and cannot wait until you start posting again. Well done on this story; I enjoyed every word of it.

That was sweet! it ended a little fast but i like it none the less! :) so do you think you will have a sequel? if not i will be waiting for any story by you anyways. so catch you next time! :)

Enjoyed that and am looking forward to reading about Tonks and Lucius.

Thanks for including and update on almost everyone! I love a happy ending and you managed one even with the repercussions they will all have for the rest of their lives from their past.

I hope the mist is Narcissa too, and that she is happy for Draco and has peace for herself. I'm so glad all the couples are together snarky, but happy, just as we all usually are in relationships.

You did a wonderful job with this story and always kept my attention and interest in the characters and what would happen next! :-)

Thank you again, for sharing it with your fans.

Wonderful chapter, it explained a lot. Poor Draco, but I'm so glad he seems to be coming to terms with the horror he went through. That was a great description of how insane it became with Voldemort et al at toward the end, scary.

Good girl Hermione, go after your man and show him who you are and what you want! I of course and looking forward to a happy ending, or as happy as can be possible when you have all been put through hell and have to claw your way back.

Go Maeve, kick some Malfoy butt! You have to love it when Lucius understands the power of a mother figure and a wife especially when he can be such an ass sometimes, and so understanding other times. The man has always confused (and of course attracted) me.

I emailed my preferences for your revealing the ends of future realationships and characters, but just in case you don't get the email ... All of them PLEASE, even if it is just a short synopsis of what happens to them.

Love the story, thanks for sharing it with us!!!!!!! :-)
