Review #1, by silver sprinklesThe Morning Waffle: That Rare Commodity, Excitement

10th March 2011:
eep! it was the snapper! it was james! james is the snapper!

i've figured it all out.

just lovin' all the banter, especially between father and son. and the grandparents scene was great, i really do not enjoy talking to relatives, so i could definitely relate. great chapter as always, can't wait for an update!

Author's Response: Haha. :-P We'll find out, won't we...?

Not all relatives can be as cool as the Weasleys, that's for sure.

Thanks for the review!!

Review #2, by silver sprinklesThe Morning Waffle: People Who Actually Get Paid to Do What They Do

7th March 2011:
umm, i loved this chapter. the thought of Ted being a zombie slayer master is so hilarious and somewhat sad at the same time. that whole bit may have been my fave, along with the Raj-as-Snapper bit.

i love how realistic this story is (weird thing to say about a story set in a magical world..). but the way their lives turned out just seems very plausible and fits in really well with the wizarding world. and all the pop culture references keep it current and snarky, which i love as well. (Chico McClane makes me think of a hybrid of like Pattinson and Biebs.)

overall another brilliant chapter. :)

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! So many things in this story are rather inane, i.e. Ted the zombie slayer, but I like being over-the-top. :-D But at the same time, I'm glad you find it realistic - that's what I'm going for as far as their interactions and how they live their lives, etc.

Oh, and YES, I think an RPatz/Bieber hybrid is exactly what I was thinking when I wrote about Chico McClane. But I have to give credit where credit is due and tell you that your fictional wizard pop star that you mention in "According to Plan" inspired me to think up a pop star like Chico McClane. I'm blanking on your guy's name right now, but he had the song called "Don't Horcrux My Heart." XD You have no idea how much that still makes me laugh. NO IDEA. ♥

Thank you again so much for this review!

Review #3, by silver sprinklesStarving Artists: The Benefits of a Flashback

12th January 2011:
helloo, i reviewed this story back in the day, and then i started college, which ate me. but in a good way. and now i am back!

so anyway, this was gold. hilarious, i loved how the whole episode was a flashback while she was sitting in her parents house. i've deff had experiences like that, and then my parents ask, what are you laughing about? and then i have to make something up because everything i laugh about is inappropriate.

smock is a fantastic word. i loved that whole exchange regarding his smock. and the DUCKS. oh man, there is nothing better than pretentious young people thinking they are philosophical for finding deeper meaningof ordinary things. nothing.

barry and obscure henry are great, i want to quote everything they say to you but that would be redundant.

wonderful chapter.

Author's Response: Ooh, yes, I remember you! I'm glad you're back, and I hope college is going swimmingly (:

Me too! I always giggle and snort away to myself at the dinner table, and my explanation is 'oh, I'm just remembering something my friend said to me...it is of no importance and it was a 'be there' moment, hence I shall not repeat it.' and my parents just ignore me.

I love the word smock. It has such a great sound to it.

>oh man, there is nothing better than pretentious young people thinking they are philosophical for finding deeper meaningof ordinary things.
My life, literally. Me and my friends went to an art gallery, assumed posh names and walked around giving art crits on everything we could see. I was Tarquina, hanging out with Persephone and Henrietta, and it got to the point where we were visiting the gallery loos and critiquing them. Happy days.

Thank you very much for the review! ;D

Review #4, by silver sprinklesOriginal of the Species: The First One of Her Kind

12th January 2011:
this was lovely. :)

i don't generally read stories that aren't hilarious, but i'm glad i made an exception. of course that also makes me a little unqualified, but to my untrained eye, this was great and flowed beautifully. i think for the length, the formatting worked really well. if it was much longer, it might have gotten a little gimmicky, but i think it kinda helped keep the pace of the story.

i loved this line: 'After ten she wonders why it took them so bloody long to get to this point.' it was so unexpected! and it made her very real.

i almost wish you hadn't revealed who the characters were, it was nice to have the anonymity.

but anyway, overall i loved it and i wish i knew how to write like this. through stalking, i know that you're not so much into ff anymore. i totes get that, but when you do write something original, i would love to read it. :)

Review #5, by silver sprinklesThe Lonely Hearts Club: Gods & Gentlemen

28th December 2010:
finally catching up on reading, forgot how much i liked your writing.

this. was. fantastic.

didn't seem forced at all, it seemed like something out of a really excellent chick flick, and despite not usually liking chick flicks, i mean that in a very, very good way. i loved the pick-up lines! and i love that the characters are old enough to be going to bars and clubs instead of partying in the room of requirement (not that i've written that or anything...)

i loved susan going off on that poor guy. and blaise. i like blaise. :)

wonderful, update as soon as you can. :)

Author's Response: Life just gets crazy, doesn't it? My review responding has been tragic, I'm finally.. at least tackling it :P

Oh, thankyou so much! You never know when something autobiographical becomes too much, but since I am a bit older the whole bar scene is actually what I know better than high school parties (and I enjoy your story, no no implicit criticism!). I'm also not remotely offended by the chick flick comparison, this is meant to be a fluffy, feel good romp, and it's just lovely to hear that is being enjoyed!

Thankyou so very much for the review! I'm trying to crawl back into ff atm, so anything could happen :)

Review #6, by silver sprinklesStarving Artists: A Sparkly Lettuce

17th August 2010:
YES, SCORPIUS' BAND. better than i could've imagined. [in a glorious failure kind of a way.]

lettuce, really? god he was really creepy. i hope you keep him around.

the languages part really confused me a bit at first. i was thinking that maybe the author had finally lost it. but then it became clearer and quite hilarious. :)

also, screaming bloodthirsty disco is a fantastic name for a band.

wonderful chapter!

Author's Response: OH MY DAYS they fail so bad. Funny thing is that I did see a band once who lit candles on stage and had scarves on their mic stands, but they were kind of pop-punk and not as sequinny. Still pretty terrible though, and the lead singer had ripped his trousers at a very crucial seam and spent the whole gig trying to cover it with his guitar. I know that because I was in the front row (for the headliners, do not fret). It was most amusing.

Lettuce shall make a comeback! I really want him to see someone eating a salad and be like 'FIEND! You are eating my BROTHERS!' or something, but I can't think of a situation that might involve food where he might waltz in.

The languages part was a bother, to say the least. I nearly deleted it because it just didn't sound funny, but I really wanted Mr Holstone to burst in and go 'I SAY!' for reasons I can't quite explain.

I'm blatantly going to start a band called Screaming Bloodthirsty Disco now you've said that.

Thanks for the lovely review!

Review #7, by silver sprinklesMonday, Monday: Long Cool Woman

2nd August 2010:
yes, i did join TGS, but i don't believe i'll go the whole author ranks route because 1) i've got one story and it's not very good, and 2) i joined more for the umm. stalking.

ANYWAY. i didn't think this was as funny as the others, but that didn't make it less wonderful. i love the idea of a tall afro-girl. reminds me of beyonce in that austin powers movie. it was pretty impulsive of louis to go jinxing youth like that, but if it was for his woman, it's almost admirable in a way!

ahh, what is dom up to?! must know soon. lovely chapter, again! :)

Author's Response: Haha fair enough! The stalking is pretty much the best part of it though. Hope you get involved though, it's lots of fun!

Pretty much completely agree. Think it's mainly that I just haven't written it for so long! Lost a bit of the magic touch or whatever. Hahaha she does sound a bit like that hey? What do we think about impulsive Louis? I think important step towards becoming more assertive and similar :P

Being an idiot pretty much! Haha you'll find out soon enough, thank you so much for all your reviews. Hope my responses have been okay!

Review #8, by silver sprinklesMonday, Monday: Stand By Me

31st July 2010:
WHAT, ANOTHER GIRL. because there wasn't enough estrogen in this story already (and i'm counting louis).

aww, i loved how messed up louis was over sam leaving, even a week later. i thought the actual leaving scene was a little rushed and difficult to follow, but i guess airports can be pretty chaotic, especially with the portkey deadlines and whatnot.

this was golden: "Firstly picking Annah up as gesture of friendship (lust) and solidarity (worship) and secondly sending Sam off as gesture of friendship and solidarity." i don't really like annah, but that's probably because she's perfect, and i don't like perfect people because i'm not, hmph.

still enjoying this!

Author's Response: Wasn't NEARLY enough! Besides, can never have too many pretty girls.

Poor Louis :( He leads a hard life, far too much emotional upheaval. Yeah I did want it to be chaotic, but not to the point where it was actually difficult to follow. Might have to do a bit of an edit on it then.

Probably the best bit of writing in the chapter, made me laugh writing it actually :P
No you must like Annah! She's lovely!

Yay! Oh, did I see you on TGS by the way? Thought I did, maybe am just going crazy. Thanks so much!

Review #9, by silver sprinklesMonday, Monday: True Colors

31st July 2010:
first of all, props for using a cyndi lauper song as the title.

the convo between sam and louis was just the cutest, and seemed very realistic. he's so needy! i always like the needy ones.. in fanfic anyway, not so much in real life.

i really like victoire, too. she seems motherly, but in a 'stop being a screw-up' kind of way. very fitting for the oldest sister.

"Threw head into hands dramatically, let out a yell that was both half-hearted and muffled by hideous Weasley jumper. Ended up more pitiful moan than roar of anguish. " haha, the weasley jumper! just can't escape those things. i loved this line.

and i can't believe he just transfigured money like that! stupid wizards.

excellent, if short chapter. :)

Author's Response: Cyndi Lauper is really fair awesome.

Oh pathetically needy! He seriously needs to harden up a bit. I have the same thing actually, the girls I like in fanfic are completely different to the ones I like in real life.

Victoire is funn. I like how she pretty much just lays down the law and they all listen.

LOVE the Weasley jumpers. They just seem to pop up everywhere, my turn to make a joke about them :P

More like super mega sneaky wizards, give him some credit no?

Thanks again!

Review #10, by silver sprinklesMonday, Monday: Sweet Disposition

30th July 2010:
oh, this wasn't boring at all! i knew i was going to enjoy it right after i read "Moral qualms (couple, though should be more,) weight 11.07 stone (looks large on paper, though rather svelte in practise)"

i loved seeing louis at work, very different than his normal speaking and internal dialogue-ing. and i was beginning to wonder what he actually he did for a living, so that was good.

i LOVED the sirius bit! even if it was all of two lines, it was perfect, and i got his character completely right there. he would be winking. so clever.

and at the beginning, oh god. they have pictures. "Think...bendy." hahaha i can't wait to see where this goes.

aw, just when i begin to like sam, she has to up and go to melbourne. i hope she sticks around for a little while.

wonderful, once again.

Author's Response: You do terrible, terrible things to my ego you know? Although I have to say that really is a great start to a chapter :P

I think I had to show it sooner or later, been putting it off for ages. I think it works quite well in showing how Louis comes across to most people. As opposed to what he thinks of himself, or what Dom does or similar.

Haha you think? I sort of think it's just a little throwaway bit of fanon :P Although teenage Sirius probably would have been haha.

I'm honestly not entirely sure! They'll definitely make an appearance at some point though.

Ahhh she does stick around for a couple of chapters. She'll probably pop up once or twice later in the story but that's about it for her.

Thank you SO much! You must almost be bored of hearing that by now, but seriously.

Review #11, by silver sprinklesMonday, Monday: The Times They Are A-Changin’

29th July 2010:
oh this is going to be so exciting! i'm still a little lost on the details, but that's my own fault. i'm loving all this inside political dealings and whatnot. a coup! there really aren't enough coups nowadays.

even though you didn't feel this was as funny, i still think louis' narration was pretty hilarious. and him checking out his cousin.. well with so many beautiful female cousins, i can cut him some slack.

i'm starting to get sam and annah confused, which is silly because one is best friend and other is object of affection. mabe because i haven't seen enough of sam..

anyway, i thoroughly enjoyed this chapter, and will continue on. :)

Author's Response: GOING TO BE? Like it wasn't already? You wound me! :P In fairness, it probably isn't your fault. Me and details have a flighty relationship at the best of times.

It wasn't really his fault, couldn't properly see after all. Silly boy!

Sam is definitely underwitten in these early chapters, not really sure why actually. Just couldn't really slot her into things.

Glad you liked it, and thanks for another great review!

Review #12, by silver sprinklesMonday, Monday: Oh! You Pretty Things

28th July 2010:
haha, tom tom! how clever. also makes me think of the gps machine thing.

i love dirigible being an illegal plant substance. or i'm assuming it's illegal? either way, explains a lot about the lovegood's...

i don't know how i feel about annah, she seems kinda too perfect. but i get that this is from louis' point of view, so that would make sense.

i do like your harry, though. he still seems so laid-back despite the whole war situation, but then gets right into Leader mode when necessary. what a cool guy.

"New Year's Aspirational Targets." hahaha, that is great. i think that's what all resolutions turn into after about a week.

yet another enjoyable chapter!

Author's Response: Aww thanks! Haha I didn't even think about that, just amused me so I whacked it in.

Ohhh pretty illegal I'd say, definitely frowned upon at the very least. Totally would wouldn't it? There was DEFINITELY something going on there.

Completely stole my excuse from me you stealer! Her character definitely does develop in later chapters though.

Yeah I always thought he'd be really pretty laid back with his kids and other relatives, but then still really super intense when he needed to be. There's no way he could ever completely get over the war stuff.

A week? Are you crazy? I'm happy if I get them to last a day!

Glad you liked it, again, thanks so much for reviewing!

Review #13, by silver sprinklesThe Lonely Hearts Club: Ask

27th July 2010:
was there really a lisa turpin in the books? because i certainly don't remember her, much like everyone else... :)

god, i just LOVE padma. i think she's my fave, although this lisa is kinda cute too. she's so no-nonsense and thinks she's in control of her own situation, but really she's not. just love her.

wonderful chapter! i'm really loving this story; it's so different than the usual '7th Year Humor-Romance' story that is popular and that i am guilty of writing as well. wonderful.

Author's Response: hi! Sorry for the delay in responses, I've been holiday and then I went back to uni this week and life is just.. mad. Nonetheless, I really appreciated your reviews and need to leave you some for your hilarious piece!

Lisa Turpin was sorted into Ravenclaw at Harry's Sorting and that was it. We NEVER heard about her ever again, and when I went looking for an obscure character, she fitted the bill perfectly.

Padma is SO much fun to write. She's a very exaggerated version of myself (Indian, dramatic, bossy), and it's fun to play with all these girl's images of themselves vs reality!

I admit, my longest wip is a 7th year romance, and I've read my fair share, but ff really does need stories that diverge a bit. I'm on the older end of the spectrum here, so it feels quite natural to write about post school, but it's also actually much easier because it's been less done.

Anyway, THANKYOu for your lovely reviews! Responses incoming :)

Review #14, by silver sprinklesMonday, Monday: New Year's Day

25th July 2010:
wow, that was a very unexpected (and very cool) ending to a story i already know i'll like. love the journal format, especially when journal-writer is male. it kinda feels JD-from-Scrubs-ish to me, which is always a good thing since i love Scrubs. i like that louis wants to think he's the bees knees but really knows that he isn't due to all the amazing famous people in his fam. makes him so lovable.

"Was soon regaling us with tale of Boxing Day Quidditch Match against Australia, which we lost, because we're England and that's what we do." haha! oh, england.

anyway, i'll keep reading now!

Author's Response: Oh well a bit of unexpected is fun! The whole journal/diary bit is way too much fun to write. Makes the character voice very...direct? I've watched like three episodes of Scrubs ever, so can honestly say any comparable awesomeness is down to me :P
Haha poor Louis, imagine trying to live in that family? Couldn't be easy at all, especially with those sisters!

Poor England! Haha that was just me being Australian and spiteful :P Glad you liked the first chapter, hope you like the rest!

Thanks for reviewing, much appreciated!

Review #15, by silver sprinklesThe Lonely Hearts Club: Bad Poetry

23rd July 2010:
i absolutely LOVE your padma. exactly how i imagined she would turn out. and theo, aww. what a needy little sweetheart.

i liked this chapter even better than the last. the characters are so connected without being too connected. kinda like the movie valentine's day, even though that was a pretty bad movie so that's a poor comparison.

also: "It's not stalking, it's investigating!" too, too true.

looking forward to an update!

Author's Response: Yay! While I love the freedom minor characters allow, it's still tricky making them feel canon! Theo is a bit of a mess right now..I have this obsession with flawed characters, but I just like writing about people who aren't holding it together all the time!

This was meant to be part of the first chapter, so the first was probably a warm up xd. And I was thinking of Love Actually, basically the Brit better version of Valentine's Day when I wrote this, so not at all a bad comparison!

I'm nearly 99% positive that that's a facebook group a friend who knows me well invited me to! Thanks for the reviews, muchly appreciated!

Review #16, by silver sprinklesThe Lonely Hearts Club: An Ocean Apart

23rd July 2010:
i really enjoyed this! it wasn't rolling on the floor funny, but more of a quiet funny, if that makes sense. i really like that padma's in therapy and hannah's a stalker. and i found this line in particular quite hilarious:

"He's such a Slytherin. . every conversation is a mind game, every joke is about ritual suicide.. " haha!

i also liked all the clothing descriptions! they made wizarding robes seem kinda chic.

great start! and on to the next one.

Author's Response: My humour is definitely the snarky quiet type, so I completely understand and am only relieved people can actually recognise it for any sort of funny!

I'm a psych major, and I've spent a lot of time this year discussing unhealthy relationships, so both of those were things I wanted to write about :) Also, I love, love minor Slytherins and am incurably girly girl [/lifehistory]

I'm very glad you are liking the story - thankyou so much for taking the time not only to review, but leave me such helpful feedback! I do appreciate it ^_^

Review #17, by silver sprinklesThe Morning Waffle: Snappers, Creepers, and Other Things That Go Bump In the Night

20th July 2010:
HAHAHA x infinity plus one. it really was that funny.

'Funny, your mum liked it last night.' i dunno why, but that line just killed me. maybe because i'm always down for a good 'your mom' joke.

i always love a good dress-up scene, and this one was especially hilarious since it was from a guy's point of view. i love how weirdly protective he was of tibbs, it's only solidfying my belief in fred/tibbs.

and that ending was perfect. andy's a guy AND a rabid fangirl? oh, perfect perfect perfect. can't wait to see that!

that was a speedy update, btdubs, and i can't wait for another. :)

Author's Response: LOL. Thanks for the wonderful review! Glad you liked the chapter so much!

I think a good "your mom" joke is worth a million dollars. I will never get tired of those jokes. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I find stupid guy humor insanely funny.

Yeah I think the dress-up scenes in fanfiction (or fiction in general) can be a bit overdone and cliched, but I do think the male's perspective saves it a little bit. Fred is really not happy about having to give fashion feedback. But Tibbs relies on him quite a bit, for just about everything.

Fred/Tibbs: NO COMMENT. XD

Ahahaha, well put indeed: Andy is a guy and a rabid fangirl. I love it.

Thanks so much for the excellent review!

Review #18, by silver sprinklesStarving Artists: Al and his Many Elbows

17th July 2010:
hahaha, first off, thanks for that shout-out in the author's note, and your encounter with scorpious was quite amusing!

i liked this chapter and your take on the clan. you got the chaos of such a large family exactly right. and i liked 'sc-tarquin' even though i'm finding it hard to pronounce out loud.

so i'm guessing percy thinks it's a legitimate art school? (that's kind of an oxymoron in itself). wonder how long she can keep up the charade! and i hope those pictures came out great.

update soon. :)

Author's Response: 'and i liked 'sc-tarquin' even though i'm finding it hard to pronounce out loud. '

It sounds like a sneeze if you say it too fast! Ahha.

'wonder how long she can keep up the charade!'

We shall have to wait and see. *mischievous cackle*

yesss, the hangover! i was wondering where i'd heard that line before.

this was hilarious, as usual. i loved the part with ron; i like that he's still all goofy and irresponsible. and harry rustling paper! brilliant.

albus?! this is clearly a fred/tibb story. although i'm intrigued and eagerly awaiting an update nonetheless.

Author's Response: Haha, ooh you're Fred/Tibbs fan? I should just start taking a poll or something - it seems quite a lot of readers are pulling for James. But now Albus is going to play, and WHO KNOWS what will happen? XD

Review #20, by silver sprinklesStarving Artists: Hedonism is our Middle Name

18th June 2010:
oh my godd. i don't know why you're not a happy camper. you should be the happiest camper on the whole campground. this was hilarious! i love tarquin and gwendolyn/raven and their biting sarcasm and witty banter. and that new boy? (sorry, i'm too lazy to scroll up and check the name,) he is fantastic. he's like a wannabe urban hipster, yes? the kind that only listens to bands that no one's heard of and drinks chai lattes, but not from starbucks because starbucks is the corporate devil.

also, the poetry reading was brilliant. i could quote the entire thing as a favorite quote. and so was the pow-wow.

you've got characterization down; i already love your characters and it's only the third chapter! fantastic dialogue too.

also, please don't let this story get too serious, ever.

update soon. :)

Author's Response: Well, your review has certainly made me a happy camper (:

Tarquin and G/R (I can't be bothered to type her full name, it bothers me) are, wow, my favourite characters. They're so hammy and odd, ahha! And yes, Henry is a wannabe hipster. If he was a website, he'd be tumblr. Ahaa, I love your quote about starbucks! I actually laughed out loud and my dad gave me a funny look (:

Pow-wow was on my 'list of words to get into a story/exam', so, perfect opportunity in the form of my gangly starving artists. (:

Glad you liked it! There will be serious points, but undercut with a good old slab of stupidity. No angst, have no fear (:

Review #21, by silver sprinklesStarving Artists: A Dark Room

17th May 2010:
wow, you seem to know a lot about photography. i'm guessing you've done all this before? or else you've done a lot of homework. or it could all be fake; i wouldn't know the difference. the description of the photo-making almost got to be too technical for me, but that's just me.

this chapter wasn't as haha-hilarious as the last, but it was calmer and i liked the intro to Scorpius. although you never explained why his hair's brown? ha, i find that interesting.

i LOVE those other two art students because you can make them completely exaggerated caricatures without worrying about things like "character development." you've already done a great job; the paintball art was hilarious.

overall, excellent second chapter!

Author's Response: Yeah, I made it all up. Kidding! It's my brand new hobby. I started off way more technical so I tried to make it a bit easier on the brain. Not sure that worked. Seriously, though, the fancy bit of kit called an Enlarger is actually called an enlarger. And the chemicals are just 'Developer' 'Fixer' and 'Stopper'. We do it the mickey-mouse way at my school. I mean, we get films out of their cases using pliers, because we can't afford a film opener. I wish we could, because I'm starting to get sick of stabbing myself every time I try to bash open a film case in the dark.

I really, really should have justified the hair-dyeing, and I've only just realised. Well, here's the justification: he wanted to get away from his old life with Rose, and make sure that said Rose did not recognise him in the street.

Exaggerated characters are the way to go. Mainly because I've got about five minutes spare a week to write in. And I've just been paintballing, so...BAM! Paintball art!

Thank you so much for the review! Apologies for the hugeness of the response...

Review #22, by silver sprinklesStarving Artists: Art School

11th May 2010:
yayy, i'm so glad i found this! i remember discussing it on the forums. quite an intellectual discussion that was. but i digress.

this was great, and i love lucy already. it's so rare to see females who are academic failures, so that's nice. i also found the fact that she thought 'Dean' was possibly the dean's name pretty hilarious. silly lucy. i love the lame art school as well. although i'm sure it'll get exciting once scorpius shows up!

"In the end, I spent seven sickles on hair dye. "
^loooved this line.

can't wait for an update.

oh, and! is the girl on the banner the girl from skins? she looks like it, vaguely, but i could be wrong. i'm probably wrong.

Author's Response: You're right, you're right! It's Cassie (:

That was some epic forum discussion, eh? This started out as such a serious story and now it's descending into a jolly ol' comedy. Hope it turns out okay. And yes, the art school is partly based on my own school's art department, which is criminally underfunded but staffed by two of the most amazing teachers ever. I mean, we have to bring in our own paint because the department is so poor.

I thought it'd be a nice twist for Lucy to be Percy's daughter and turn out as a complete fail. And it's her motivation for actually going to art school.

Oh, and the 'Dean' thing comes from when me and my friends got a tour of an Oxford College, and we saw 'Dean's Noticeboard' and were like 'who's Dean, and why does he have his own board? He's special...' etc.
Silly us.

Thank you for the review and I apologise for the enormity of my response (:

Review #23, by silver sprinklesBaby Steps: Grass.

18th April 2010:
okay, first of all. i still stand by my Bryn/James theory. unless you're trying to make me fall into a B/J trap and then spring a B/A on me (which would be a pretty good strategy). but there was just too much in this chapter that's supporting my theory.

anyway, i liked this chapter. i liked the arm-linking situation and the scents situation. i like your Dominique, too. Bryn and C.C.'s conversation at the end confused me a little bit, but i'm sure that'll all be resolved once i read on.

Author's Response: Hahaha, you know, your theories are so interesting to me! You're actually inspiring a few twists and turns to happen later on the story, so we'll see how your theories play out.

Haha, both the arm-linking and the scent situation were terribly awkward! Which is why they were written. I like my Dominique pretty well too, she's not a main character, but she's fun when she's around. Their conversation was just silly, between two friends. I actually had to re-read it after reading your review. But yeah, it's not anything weird. Just the way I wrote it was confusing. It was a bit of a pointless passage actually.

Thanks for all your reviews. (:

Review #24, by silver sprinklesBaby Steps: Conversations.

17th April 2010:
i loved this chapter, especially the beginning. james seems like a little kid to me, but i like it. that bit about albus smelling like christmas was just perfect! also, this line made me LOL: "Thursday rolled around in a particularly Thursday way. I hate Thursdays. And Tuesdays. And birds."
something about the "And birds" was just hilarious to me.

so al is cocky? but doesn't show it much to bryn. hmm..

also, i need to mention that between this chapter and the last, there have been TWO similar things in our stories: C.C. sleeps the same way as Adele, and Bryn and Shivani don't like pumpkin juice. so clearly, we are HPFF telepathy twins.

Author's Response: You know, this is one of my favorite chapters too actually. I love it a lot. James is a bit childish, but I thought he kind of should be. I thought Bryn ought to have some childish friends, so I gave her C.C. and James. I love the smell of Christmas, and it was around Christmas time that I wrote that chapter, and I figured Bryn's love interest ought to smell really good so yeah. haha.

Haha, I actually hate birds, so I thought if I were to give Bryn ONE thing in her personality that is like mine, it ought to be that. Other than that, we're very un-similar.

Haha, Al isn't necessarily cocky, but James likes to act as if he is. James is a bit ambiguous sometimes, he says things that you wonder about.

I promise I didn't borrow your ideas! Haha, I never thought about their sleeping patterns being similar since it's been such a long time since I read the first few chapters of your story, and I forgot Shivani didn't like pumpkin juice. I just hate that everybody drinks it in fanfiction, so that's why I made Bryn hate it. But yes, we are obviously twins.

Review #25, by silver sprinklesThe Morning Waffle: Questionable Lifestyle Choices

16th April 2010:
HAHAHA. oh, this was good. if this is filler, then please, continue writing filler.

you are so good at writing humor from a male's perspective, and i am jealous. there were so many wonderful things i want to quote in this review, but that would just take all night. and some of them would not be 12+ appropriate. that bowtruckle bit, and then comparing the bowtruckle to roxy, was great. actually, just the title of this chapter made me laugh. and i love that fred is kind of a germophobe.

i'm in love with hugo.

can't wait for an update!

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing!

I guess at least one thing came out of having a bunch of idiotic male friends...now I get to write about them. :-D

Who ISN'T in love with Hugo the Ladies' Man, might I ask? He is dishiness personified. ;-)

Thanks again!
