Love. For You. A lot of it.

It's like reading the inside of my brain, except someone else wrote it, (and very very well written it was too). But it's the characterization that got me. Andromeda has always been the HP character I felt the most connection to. I write her, and I RP her (unposted, with RL friends, as I haven't found much in the way of sane and mature in the HP fandom, sadly).
The Andromeda you wrote could *be* my version of Andromeda. The characterization is that spot-on. That doesn't often happen. Honestly, the only difference is I always spelled it "Andie", but that is...whatever. Andie/Andi, no difference. (And I second the thanks on calling her Andi instead of Dromeda or Meda. I mean, MEDA? ew...)

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is thank you. Thank you for writing a fic with an Andromeda I could really believe in (not to mention Ted and little Nymphadora). It's always magic when someone (possibily) half a world away sees things that aren't even "cannon" the way you do. It's like we've both been listening to the song of the same Muse.

Ok, I'm officially rambling now. Apologies. It's quite early where I am, and I'm not entirely coherent. Just know I think you are brilliant, and you get 1 million extra points for the Doctor Who reference. ^_^ <3
