O_O Her insanity is just...oh so very wonderful. :-D Love, love, love it!

Thanks! I don't want to stereotype myself into writing crazy Bellatrix, but I like her so damn much lol.

Love your Bellatrix. She's 100% Bella - talented, passionate, and cracked.

Thanks! I'm liking exploring young Bellatrix, before she was completely batshit crazy.

*adores* I love your works that show off the Black family dynamic! I'm in the middle of writing some Bella related stuff right now, because I've managed to pull myself out of my drawbling stupor, but you have a much firmer grasp on the character than I do. This is lovely. And creepy. Haha.

*loves* I've had a few thoughts lately about Bella's childhood, and such...but those ideas have to wait until after fest work is done! I really, really enjoy the Black family, so your comment pleases me to no end :D

I actually had NO clue what to write for this round, which saddened me a bit, and I think I just sat down and forced a story out.

1/3 of my fics so far, I believe, have included Bella in some way, so that probably accounts for my grasp of her. Just takes practice, and I'm eager to see what you're working on!

Mmm, thanks, that's a huge compliment to me!

Ooh, I really liked that! She's crazy, but also I love the vibe of her trying to get out from under her father's gender assumptions about what a 'lady' should be doing. Very IC to me. :)

Thank you! I had fun with Cyngus trying to tell his daughter how proper daughter of the House of Black should act.
