BWAHAHAHAHA rewarded at the end for every minute spent reading rather advanced prose with my favourite character in it. Keep writing Severus, I implore you....

H-Haha, advanced prose? Not so!

But Severus is pretty fun to write and keeps popping up everywhere I turn. I still have that Snape/McGonagall to write for you and my challenge entry for obviouslysnape, as well as chapter four of a Mentor!Snape fic over ff.net. Then, if I can finish all that, I plan to write more for New World Order.

xD If I don't run away screaming in frustration at how hard it is to keep Snape in character first.

Wow. That was some excellent Severus fic - great interplay between Harry and Snape. I'm guessing that Harry is trying to meddle with the Fates by doing something with belladonna?

And keep writing Snape! I think you're doing an excellent job with him.

Something like that, yeah. Trying to circumvent the prophecy by meddling with magic. I think this might have been more interesting from Harry's point of view, going into what he was up to, but I ended up writing from Snape's point of view. He's such an neat character to write for, I dunno.

Glad you think I'm doing an all right job with him, thanks! But. Yeah. If you have any ideas for a quick drabble with someone else, I wouldn't be adverse to giving it shot ;)

Hmm, I think it's just fine from Snape's point of view. I enjoy him far more than Harry.

Quick drabble...hmm. Who else but Narcissa for me? :D Prompt...satin, book, spa? Maybe you can get something out of any of those.

xD Narcissa! Sweet, I haven't given her a try yet. Hmmm. I'll just reply here with it, to spare spamming your f-list.

This was the best part of the book, the part where the prince finds the princess and they live happily ever after. Boring. Narcissa tossed it aside. She really needed new books. Was this Andromeda's idea of a joke, to ply her with Muggle fairy tales for Christmas ( ... )

I really enjoyed this. I think you did a good job of keeping Snape in character. I know it's not easy to do. I have a hard enough time when writing from Hermione's POV. I imagine it's harder to do when writing from Snape's POV.

Snape is such an ambiguous character, it's truly hard to know when he's in character. I'm glad you thought he was in IC here, though!
