remixredux08 reveals! I'm a bit behind, and I've some feedback to reply to as well - will get there! I'm just a bit busy with my rs_games fic right now, so you'll have to forgive me. I also need to do a proper rec for the remix written of my fic, and that deserves its own post. :)

I was lucky to be assigned to mindabbles who is a wonderful writer, and I chose her story, In

First, thank you for the lovely words about my writing and about the original ficlet. I'm tickled that you got me, and I'm actually really glad you picked this one because I liked the sentiment and a few of the lines, but didn't really take it very far. And I certainly understand your reason for not picking any r/s

You're so welcome! Your ficlet was truly a gift from the remix gods! :-P I've been lucky with remix the past three years, but seriously - the second I started reading it, I knew right away what I wanted to do. And you had such wonderful lines in there that I didn't even feel guilty about 'stealing' them! Hee

Thank you so much! *hands you a tissue*

It's heartbreaking. I always imagine that, despite all of the horror of the first war, he was always confident that he'd be able to protect them. Peter's betrayal was a tragedy on so many levels, but for Sirius, it utterly broke him: he didn't even fight back or protest, or defend himself when he was arrested. *sigh*

Thanks again! I'm so glad you liked it!

This was beautiful, I knew it had promise when I saw the description pop-up on the Quibler today. Great job very touching.

i liked this very much. loved the similiarities between the two godfathers and harry's relationship with wee teddy. loved james' description of what it means to be a wizard godfather, that's how i've thought it would be too.

[midnitemaraud_r]

Thank you! :) I loved writing it and exploring those similarities, as well as the differences, due to the circumstances of the two wars.

There was never much of a religious focus in the books - even with the celebrations of Christmas and Easter, so I like the notion that a 'godfather' (or -mother) in the wizarding world is more of a secular role, and less a spiritual one. It just seemed to fit better to canon. I don't recall anyone else ever mentioning having a godfather. :)
