Heh. That was loads of fun, and a nice twist on the Sirius=Stubby thing. I particularly enjoyed the way all the band members wanted to quit. :)

Thanks! It was so much fun to write, and I like knowing someone else got some enjoyment out of reading too! :)

What a laugh! So amused at the ageing rock star thing, and this could have so easily descended into farce, but it was such a fun read. Your prose flows so easily, I enjoyed the subtle inserts of humour like "there’d be venison on the table if she did"

To a wizard used to robes and such, the fashion of that era would have been completely ridiculous, too - hee. An entertaining and refreshing look at how a Stubby/Sirius link might've come about, very nice.

*grin* Thanks! I was quite surprised at how easily this came once I got started, actually. It somehow reminded me of writing compos in secondary school ... you know, when you only get an hour to write so your words had better damn well flow. :P

Oh, I had the stupidest grin on my face the whole time I was reading this! I love your Stubby and felt so sorry for him when he wanted to quit. And then to find out that the rest of the band wanted out, too? See, that's what you get for not being honest. :P

And James and Sirius! Mischief even when on Official Business! And the ending with angry Lily, and well...I really, REALLY liked this story.

Yay!

James and Sirius are especially fun when they're getting in trouble. And it's even better when everything goes pear-shaped.

It really started out all about James and Sirius ... but then Stubby wanted his say. I love it when characters unexpectedly decide they want a bigger role!

Oh, that was so funny! I was smiling the whole time. Great job! I loved it!

Thanks! I'm glad someone else enjoyed my attempt at humour. :D
