Review #26, by AlexFan And then there are decisions to make...

17th March 2013:
I feel like an idiot now, Ethan is the name of the fiancé. My God, I just called April's fiancé by the name of the dog. I feel like a moron.

Ethan seems like a decent person though and I'll probably get to like him. Professor Vector gives some good advice though. This is probably one of the only times where handing an essay in late is okay.

Author's Response: Oh, don't worry about it! I think sometimes life gets in the way and teachers should except LATE ESSAYS (obviously, I'm not speaking from a real life issue right now at all...)

Review #27, by AlexFan And then I run into another wall...

17th March 2013:
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE! So much drama and why is everyone lying to Autumn! Why on earth hadn't her sister told her that she was engaged and I bet you this was why April hadn't come back, because of Neb.

I can't believe she's getting married! Everything is messed up, things need to get fixed, things are wrong. I have the urge to start raging again.

Author's Response: I find that people OFTEN lie about things without thinking about how it will make someone feel, because it's easier for them in that moment. It makes no sense, of course.

Review #28, by AlexFan And then the proverbial excrement hits the metaphorical fan...

17th March 2013:
Oh my God, I can't believe that Dom would spread rumors about her best friend! WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER! DOES SHE REALLY HAVE THAT BIG OF A PROBLEM WITH AUTUMN TALKING TO PEOPLE!

Autumn, pick James, he's not the one spreading rumors about you and I can't really blame James for believing them, it's hard to know what to believe with rumors.

I have so many feelings, this story makes me rage. I am so done.

Okay, onto the next chapter!

Author's Response: I'm sorry about the rage AlexFan! And thanks for the lovely reviews :)

Review #29, by AlexFan And then there is a brief calm...

17th March 2013:
Oh no, oh no, this is bad, this is really bad. I pray for Autumn and that she gets out of this alive. Oh my God, what's going to happen. I have a feeling that things are going to be getting intense now. Holy cow, I'm excited but at the same time scared of what will happen.

Author's Response: AHha, yep. Intense is definitely on the cards. WATCH THIS SPACE.

Review #30, by AlexFan And then there is a deviation into toilet humour...

17th March 2013:
Oh my God, this was hilarious. I'm crying, I was laughing that hard. Sweet Merlin, I especially loved the banter when Fred was stuck to the toilet and the part with Roxanne taking pictures made me crack up again even if it was a really small part.

Author's Response: Oh dear, I loved writing this chapter. It was a nice break from what is about to come... well, you'll be there soon. Good luck!

Review #31, by AlexFan And then we talked...

15th March 2013:
Benson Flint is one of my favourite characters in this right now. I barely know anything about him and he's described as creepy but for some strange reason, he's one of my favourite characters.

Author's Response: Huh, well, I'm glad you like him! :)

Review #32, by AlexFan And then I’m a terrible girlfriend...

15th March 2013:
Maybe I'm being an idiot but what the heck happened between Autumn and her parents! It's been so damn long and I'm dying to know! Will I find out soon about why she doesn't want to talk to her parents and what happened between them?

Author's Response: I think you'll be finding this out in the very next chapter! Don't worry about it, it's all coming :)

Review #33, by AlexFan And then we were all prissy...

15th March 2013:
At this point I'm just getting irritating with my reviews aren't I? Oh well, I don't care!

Anyway, Dom was so mean! You do an excellent job of making her self-centered! It's about time that she heard about James and Autumn dating though. I started laughing though when she was like "obviously that's a rumor." I felt like going "oh, if you only knew Dom. If you only knew."

Author's Response: Not at all! Your reviews are lovely and it's been a real pleasure to receive them. Thank you very much AlexFan! You're great :)

Review #34, by AlexFan And then I am in mortal danger (and so is James Potter)...

15th March 2013:
Just to let you know, I died laughing while reading this chapter. Oh my God, everything was so hilarious but sweet and funny.

I'm actually amazed that Dom hasn't noticed anything going on but then again, she doesn't really pay all that much attention to Autumn except when it suits her.

Anyway, lovely chapter!

Author's Response: Ahhha, I think Dom is pretty busy thinking about her own life (that sounds a little bad, doesn't it?) but, yeah, she's not expecting it from Autumn AT ALL :)

Review #35, by AlexFan And then there are not-so lazy Sundays...

14th March 2013:
Oh my gosh that was so cute and adorable and skdjnkdsnnfjcndndnfnf I'm not even speaking English anymore! This story is just so awesome I can't even describe it! Onto the next chapter I go!

Author's Response: WHO NEEDS ENGLISH WHEN THERE IS THE LANGUAGE OF FAN GIRL AVAILABLE!

Review #36, by AlexFan And then there is quidditch (and quidditch related activities)...

14th March 2013:
*cue the guinea pig squealing* OH MY GOSH THAT WAS SO CUTE AND ADORABLE AND GAH! James and Autumn be getting cute and a little but serious!

Okay, I need to go now, I'll keep reading this story tomorrow.

Author's Response: Guinea pig squealing might be the best description of squealing I've heard in a really long time. Love it!! :D

Review #37, by AlexFan And then I turn seventeen...

14th March 2013:
I feel bad for Dom because she's the least liked Weasley but I still hate her for being like that with Autm. She's just so mean to her! But I loved Dom in this chapter, she was actually thoughtful and sweet!

Author's Response: Yup, such is the things with most people I always find. I have sympathy but I'm still frustrated with them. But, I'm glad she redeemed herself in this chapter a bit :)

Review #38, by AlexFan And then I am forced to socialise with a wider range of people (read: not Dom)...

14th March 2013:
Wow, Benson is a lot nicer than I thought he was. You know, I quite like him now. He seems nice, I'm praying that you don't ruin that for me. And I'm guessing that you already know that you spelled Victoire's name wrong so I won't bother to point it out.

I totally loved this chapter though! I'm clapping my hands and squealing I swear! I especially loved the end though with Freddie in the hospital wing.

Author's Response: Wahheeey, you like Benson? How exciting. Well, I guess we'll see how long that lasts ;)

Review #39, by AlexFan And then further complications arise...

13th March 2013:
"Weasley convention." I loved that. You made it sound like there were so many Weasleys that you could've had a convention for them.
Anyway, I thought that part was really funny and I enjoyed reading this.

Author's Response: That's sort of how i always see them in my mind. A mass convention of ginger nutters :D

Review #40, by AlexFan And then I actually enjoy myself...

13th March 2013:
I thought I'd have trouble leaving a review on every single chapter of this story but with everything that's going on, it's really easy to talk about what happened.

Autum should listen to James, James is right. She should listen to James at the moment! James is right though, Autumn shouldn't let Dom walk all over her and she shouldn't put herself down so much.

I'm looking forward to seeing if Autumn ever tells Dom where she can shove it.

Author's Response: Awwwhh. James is probably right on this one... but friendships are complicated. I'm really chuffed that you had enough to stay about this story that you have something to say on every chapter, and thanks so much for taking the time to do so! You're awesome :D

Review #41, by AlexFan And then I am reminded why people confuse me...

13th March 2013:
Oh my gosh, Dom is horrible! She's so mean to Autumn —scratch that, she's mean to everyone. I can't believe that she would accuse Autumn of hitting on Benson after Autumn specifically said that she thought Benson was a jerk.

I love the fact that Autumn stands up to Dom though, even if it isn't all the time. I'm so enjoying this story right now and I thought the post script that Autumn left in James's diary was hilarious. I was seriously laughing.

Author's Response: That is Dom's insecurities flat out. She doesn't even trust her best friend because she's hyper sure that everyone hates her, if that makes any sense? Dom is like SO insecure it's actually a little crazy.

And Autumn shouldn't let anyone tell her she aint funny. she's a i'll-add-this-into-your-diary-genius ;)

Review #42, by AlexFan And then I deal with the fact I ruined James Potter’s life...

13th March 2013:
You kept spelling Weasley wrong throughout the entire chapter (it was driving me bonkers). But Jesus, I can't believe Autumn's bad luck, she tries to apologise to someone and ends up blowing their room apart.

It must really suck to be James right now.

Author's Response: THIS THIS is my stupid spellcheck that went through this phase of changing Weasley automatically because it was convinced it was wrong. Honestly, I get so mad whenever i remember realising what it had done. I'll go back and change that right now ahha.

Review #43, by AlexFan And then I became a pranking mastermind...

12th March 2013:
Wow, Dom's right, Autumn really shouldn't be allowed to play pranks on people or make jokes. She probably just scarred James for life, I admit though, that was pretty hilarious.

You've got a cooktops of grammatical errors but other than that this was awesome!

Author's Response: My pitfall as a writer is I'm too eager for it to be shared that I never check through it properly. Thanks for the lovely review, though! :)

Review #44, by AlexFan And then I accidently became a thief...

11th March 2013:
For a Ravenclaw, it took this chick a really long time that she had in fact landed on a human being. Anyway, I thought it was really funny how she kept rambling. She is devious though, I like how she stole the invisibility cloak from James. It seems just like something Fred or George would do.

Author's Response: All this people that happen across the cloak... wouldn't you steal it? Maybe? I mean, it's so damn cool! Anyway, glad you liked it :D

Review #45, by TimeSeer And then I start to fix things...

6th March 2013:
Oh goodness. i really want the next chapter to come (to the point of begging) but I do not want the end of the story. I cannot handle this. It is to much. I just love Autumn and James and everything about this story. I don't want this story to end! I am happy that Autumn went and talked to James though. I love them together. Anyway I guess I can say please update soon!

Author's Response: IT SHOULD BE HERE SOON (I've been being rubbish and un-writey, I'll get on it now)

Thank you for this lovely review. You're awesome :)

Review #46, by Serendipity1234 And then I start to fix things...

2nd March 2013:
I'm so happy for Autumn! I love how she's taking control of her life and confronting her problems. I'm not a big April fan, but I like that they seem to be patching things up. It gives me hope for Autumn and her mother, too.
James is so, SO sweet ❤ I love him. And I really liked this line: “Whatever I can get.”
A little mushy, but mostly just sweet. And I imagine him sort of grinning when he says it.
They're such a great pair :) I don't want it to end!! Please tell me there's an epilogue? Even just a little one. I've loved this story because it's different. Autumn and Dom are really unique and the story had a friendship dynamic and issues that aren't explored that often. Especially with such lovely humor.
Update soon!

Author's Response: Hey dear! The next chapter is going to be the epilogue type chapter and I can't wait to post it! I'm really glad you've liked this story and thank you for being with me on this journey. You're aces :)

Review #48, by nott theodore And then I start to fix things...

28th February 2013:
Okay, so I know this story isn't finished yet, but I've just spent half of the day reading this story (and helpfully procrastinating an essay I have to write) so it kind of feels like I've come to the end of it for now. Obviously, though, I hope you update soon because I want to know what happens and I love this story and your characters and pretty much everything :)
This chapter was so interesting and brilliant. It's really nice to see Autumn working on fixing pretty much everything in her life and she's such a nice character. As a protaganist she's fantastic - she's not too perfect but not too weird, and very realistic and funny (even though she doesn't realise it!). I think people can relate to her and empathise with her and that makes me want everything to work out for her (particularly her relationship with James. I might have a little crush on James. Having a crush on a fictional character is perfectly normal, isn't it?...).
I'm happy that she's decided to give her mum another chance to, and that she's starting to work things out with her family and friends.
I can't wait for your next update, even though I'm sad that this story is going to end!!

Author's Response: Oh nose, I always do something similar when I have an essay due - it's like I can't help it - but I must say it's been lovely to sit here and refresh, waiting to see what you thought of the next chapter :D

I've always thought of this story as more about Autumn sorting out her issues than being any sort of romance, but then I tihnk that about all my stories.

ALL THE FICTIONAL CRUSHES.

Thank you for the lovely reviews!

Review #49, by nott theodore And then there are shifts...

28th February 2013:
I thought this was a great chapter, and I'm glad that Autumn and Dom talked things through and that Autumn has actually realised she needs to love herself (Professor Vector gives good advice).
I don't have time to write any more, because you I have to find out what happens next!

Author's Response: Thank you very much for all your lovely reviews! I was particularly fond of Professor Vector's advice in this chapter.

You're great! :)

Review #50, by nott theodore And then I think about the world...

28th February 2013:
Go Autumn! She FINALLY stuck up for herself! I am so, so glad that she didn't just forgive Dom straight away. Obviously Autumn wasn't blameless by lying to her, but she shouldn't have needed to lie to her best friend about anything like that. Like she says, she shouldn't be scared of the people she loves. Dom needs to realise what she has actually done, because she doesn't seem to.
I feel sorry for James, but at least all the Weasleys are now being made to realise what they've done to Dom. I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out...
Benson Flint. Eurgh. He makes my skin crawl. I knew there was a reason (aside from the slimy Slytherin thing) that I didn't like him!

Author's Response: SHE FINALLY STUCK UP FOR HERSELF. I'm proud of her... which is pretty silly, given the fact that I made her up and knew this was going to happen... but it's still true. I think James's actions there might have swung the world in his favour...
