The Snapefic has landed, bumpily

Oy, but the posting of this fic has been a comedy of errors. First I was going to post it, then the Marauder mods were, then I was, except that I didn't have the login info to get in. Then I got the login info, but it was for the LJ end of the Bang rather than the DreamWidth end (because all the fics in this Bang are over 20,000 words, they were

I just read the beginning of your fic and I can't wait for the next part. It's one of the best fanfics I think I've ever read. I love that it focuses on Snape.

I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed it! Thank you so much. I'm also delighted to hear that you managed to wade through the thing despite its rather punishing length. For the better part of a week no one commented on it at all, apart from pointing out some formatting issues, and I was starting to think it was just too long/too Snapecentric/too whatever to find an audience. It's very encouraging to know that at least one person managed to stick with it in spite of all that!

The next part should be up within a few days - I wanted to give people some breathing room before I piled yet MORE reading matter on them. In the meantime, I truly appreciate your taking the time to read the story and leave such encouraging feedback! I hope chapter 5 will meet your expectations. ;)

Chapter 5 was definitely up to my expectations. I just read it now and I liked it, especially the part where Voldemort changed everything. It may well have been simply manipulative but I think it showed that even Lord Voldemort was human and could do nice things.

I can't wait for the next chapter. :)

*claps hands* Yay! So glad you liked it. :)

I can't resist the idea that Voldemort has a secret nice streak. And, Bellatrix Lestrange's delusions of grandeur aside, I suspect Snape would've been the one to see it if anyone did.

I've already learned to stop making predictions about when ANY part of this fic will be finished, but if I have my way, Chapter 6 will be up within the week. Thanks so much for the continuing kind feedback!

There are things that Voldemort did that make me think that he could have seen Snape as the son he never had but I don't know if JK Rowling ever saw Voldemort as anything other than evil. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

I will continue the feedback as long as the story lasts. I wasn't a big fan of Snape until the last few books, as that was when he started to seem more like a person, and it's good to see a writer really focus on him as the person he could have been.
