This was wonderful!

It was funny in places and beautifully touching and sad at the end.

Wonderful work!

On a modly note, I would like to welcome to our community and thank you for participating in our challenge!

Thak you! I've already enjoyed several stories on the community and look forward to many more!

Question for you, as mod: When I view my post, my LJ cut shows, but so does all the text. Did I do something wrong, or does it just show that way for me, but just the LJ cut for everyone else?

star54kar March 9 2009, 18:36:03 UTC

I see all of the text as well as the cut.

Check to make sure that your coding for the cut looks something like this, only replacing all of the []'s with <>'s:

[lj-cut text="Thick Woolen Socks"]

[/lj-cut]

Also, when you go to edit your post, if you could please add the fact that you wrote this story for the challenge into your header information, I would appreciate it:)

Thanks!

I'm at a loss! When I open 'edit' I only see one set of the text. I don't hand code it, as I have the quickie buttons. I'm a coding illiterate. Help?

Thank you!

Yeah! You posted this here.

Section three is my favorite part. Aberforth is so jolly with his brother, demanding of attention, understanding what he has become like, but still reaching out to him, and not letting him go. They were both so brotherly. That makes the last part all the sadder. (First Albus doesn't sit with Aberforth at Christmas, and then Aberforth doesn't go to see Albus at Christmas. I love the way you switched that.)

Bet you did well in those literature anlysis classes! I didn't even notice that as I as writing it!

I also used to interpret my sister's dreams for her. She loved it. :)

I liked this. It was very touching and sad. I love your characterization of the brothers.
