rate_review Reviews

MND: I agree with you that the comments were honest, and indeed welcome. However, one thing a writer has to do, at least in my estimation, is be honest to her story. While input from readers is welcome, if you change your direction because of pressure, you aren't writing honestly. Now, in your next story, you might take "what the people want" into consideration and write something to soothe that savage breast, but the story you are currently working on should remain true to what you envision or you lose it. That's the way I feel anyway. I appreciate every comment and thought, but I have yet to change my approach to suit readers. I write because I enjoy it, and it really entertains ME. Not plotting them out adds to the enjoymeht, because I never know exactly what's going to happen chapter to chapter. Everything is based on what's gone before. And I have a love of exploring interactions, whether or not they are "appealing." Many real life interactions aren't and I try to reflect that, depending on the story. This story is full of erroneous assumptions on the part of all the characters, which is why I'm enjoying writing it so much. A brilliant witch like Hermione is going to get it from all sides. Jealousy, misunderstandings should abound and do. We see Hermione's errors blatantly because she is so integral It's something rarely seen with her, another reason I like it. I received a glowing review saying the story had everything " humor, snark, sarcasm, jealousy, romances, drama, and so much more! i love all of it." That's really what I want to portray overall, and some people see it. I don't want black and white. I want all shades. And I'm pretty satisfied with how this particular story is going, and when you get down to it, that's what really matters in the end. I don't think JKR would have changed a thing because of reviews. If she had, she would have been dishonest. As someone else said, if they want a perfect Hermione (paraphrased) they'd write her themself. More power to her. :)

Sometimes I feel you make things harder for hermione than for everyone else. Off all your main rolls she always make teh mistakes wjile snape is nearly perfect in his own way. (is a little weird that he is that way when he sould be at least making some adjustments because of his situation) I think you are a little jealous of hermione....

JAJAJAJAJAJAJ

Anyway... I always think you give her too much hard times, and not many chances to prove How wonderfull she is. (I think she is) It

OHh my god his thinging everywhere ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww

love it!! poor hermione!

LOL poor ron he thinks his form is amazing...

Is Ron going to start swinging from the rafters in the great Hall, swatting owls like airplanes? Or drag Lavender to the top of the Astronomy tower? (Hermione would just hex him.) I get the feeling the 'charms practice' is going to be rather nasty.

Gosh, I feel a tad silly for asking this, but I simply couldn't get a solid picture of Ron's orangutan form. Does he still look like the Human-Ron with the hairstyle like this fellow...

or like an actual adult male like this one...

I was hesitant asking this, but it was still conflicting in my mind.
lol

Daygonna: Lolololol. Actually, Ron looks like the first orangutan, because he's young. The cheek pouches come as they get older, increasing in size and showing them to be dominant males. lol. Maybe he'll have them when he's in his fifties or sixties since wizards live a long time. But that's so funny. I'm going to have to manip it. :)) Thanks for the smile haha.

ROFLMAO!!!! Giant Nads!!! Perfect. Just perfect. More please :)

monkeys are known for their NUDS LOL
