Just flicking through Know it Alls to see if I've missed anything since my last visit a couple of months ago. I love looking through this site - for the recs, but also for the passion harmony_bites has for what she's recommending.

Consider me stunned, and more than a little overwhelmed, to make an appearanceI write so little these days, so to have such a

OMG - no wonder you got a rec - it's lovely! Write MORE, woman!

Thank you, dear!

This fic is a lovely albeit brief glimpse into Hermione’s reasons for choosing Snape-the overarching metaphor is vivid, apt, and relies on a deft use of language, and I particularly liked that it drew a comparison between Ron and Snape without devolving into bashing.

Those are some good compliments, too! All of it is wonderful, but I especially appreciate that part which says you managed to write a reason for Hermione and Snape without bashing Ron in the process. With that point, plus the compliments about the vivid language, and the fact that I know you are a talented writer, all of it makes me want to read that story.

*applauds you gleefully*

Good for you! And how gratifying to come upon such praise. I'm so pleased for you, Angie. You deserve it. Your writing really is lovely, and needs to be read.

Thank you, sweetheart. You've always been such a loyal and appreciative friend.

Thank you, dear, SO much - and for your lovely review too.

*I* would have rec'd you--but you're my Britpicker--and that's sorta like a beta, and I can't rec those.

But Silbury is free to rec you--and I was so pleased to see the rec.

and thanks for the compliment--I'm sorry to say I much more often see the site attacked than appreciated, so reading the above warmed me :-)

[lifeasanamazon]

Well, please pass on my appreciation to Silbury too! :D

I can't think why you should be attacked. You're saying what you like (and most beautifully), not denigrating or putting down others' work. I love the site.

Because several people in this ship have an incredible sense of entitlement at times and take NOT being rec'd personally. Obviously if I'm not recognizing their genius I or the site must be eeeeeeevul.

Although I know I'm being a little self-pitying in that. Yes, there have been slaps--but appreciative authors and readers from time to time too.

I loved your stories in the ship, and wish you'd write more.
