Oh, this is brilliant! :D The speaker's voice is perfect, and I love your use of scene and anecdote to create a fresh and unique portrayal of the boys. I also really like how you've taken a potentially pedantic form and made it funny, sweet, and very, very random - rather like the early R/S relationship itself, I think. *adds to memories*

Hee... I think this proves why English majors, particularly those studying creative writing, really shouldn't be allowed to have access to the internet. *nods*

[minnow_53]

Oh, thank you so much! ♥ And thanks for your patience! I'm really glad you enjoyed this: I was struggling with my second fic for sirius_loving, and this one suddenly came along, so I grabbed it before it could get away.

I think that's a spectacular review, which really deserves a comment of its own. It's great having English majors leaving feedback, especially such lovely and intelligent feedback! :)

That was so sweet.

This is my favorite though:

T is for train. It was on the Hogwarts Express that Remus and Sirius fully realised their feelings for each other. They were travelling to school for Sixth Year. Sirius was eating his usual snack of Cauldron Cake and Bertie Botts beans and noticed that Remus hadn’t bought anything from the trolley. He realised that this was because Remus was poor, and he was poor because he was a werewolf whose parents loved him enough to spend all their money searching for a cure. He felt pity and envy in equal degrees, and that was the moment he really ceased to be a Black.

That one did not make me cry. I just have something in my eye.

[minnow_53]

Oh, gosh, thank you very much! ♥ I'm sorry you have something in your eye -- I'll look the other way for a minute...

...I posted a comment but it didn't show up @______@

anywho.

This was incredibly sweet. warmed me right up after being in the freezing cold for two bloody hours rehearsing The Importance of Being Ernest

[minnow_53]

Oh, thank you! ♥ Poor thing! The Importance of Being Sirius wins every time. *hugs and gives hot chocolate*

^_^xx

[celerywench]

The Importance of Being Sirius? Tell me there's an actual fanfic out there with that title. That would be tres awesome. (and it sounds vaguely familiar)

Thanx. ^_^ I get to write Oscar Wilde's life story ^_^_^_^_^!<3 I'm going to have sooo much fun with that.

[minnow_53]

There may be! I don't know. If not, someone really ought to write it.

Oscar Wilde's life story will be awesome to do! :D But it gets a bit sad actually... Won't think about that now.

Oh, that was just so completely wonderful. I think 'S' was my very favourite, and so, so perfect. ♥

Both boys agree that if they really had it off as often as they do in MWPP fanfics, they’d have been dead before they were eighteen

*giggles* Yes, and that really wouldn't be on at all! I'm very glad that they have a lot of energy to keep them going. It's very important.

Oh, and the stick insect! That's true love.

[minnow_53]

Thank you very much! ♥ I saw your name in Yahoo, and squee'd, because it's lovely to see you after the long working week you have now. I'm glad you liked S: that was one of the ones I hardly altered. Some of them got changed completely: Archibald and Newts went, but really, nobody would miss them. Archibald was okay, but obscure.

I'm glad you liked the stick insect! It suddenly hit me that Sirius hadn't named him... A bit ominous. :(

^_^xx

[_emeraldgreen]

*hugs* I do miss my LJ time! I'll like it very much when I can afford to move closer to work! Hee, I rather like the name Archibald. It brings to mind a man with a very large walrus moustache. And yes, S was so very perfect with the seasickness and the stingray.

Oh no! Name him now! Um, sticky the stick insect? Very original, I'm sure.

[minnow_53]

I miss you too! I hope you'll manage to move nearer work, and have much more time on the net.

Archibald introduced them. He was professor of Arithmancy, but he made the dancing inconsistent, so I had to take him out and just put in his subject instead... It got bloody complicated for a simple little fic at that point. I should have stuck to the strange new Sirius Loving one. :D

The stick-insect has to be Twiggy, because the boys live in the seventies! :D Maybe it's a she, and it'll spy on them and write fanfic.

Very cute and sweet, but please don't put ideas like this:

X is for Xavier, Remus’s uncle, the black sheep of the family. The Lupins rarely talk about him: as a young man, he scandalously renounced the Wizarding world and became a Catholic priest in Spain.

in my head!!!! That would be SUCH a good story. It really would. Someone needs to write that!

(Totally agree about E, incidentally! :)

[minnow_53]

Thank you very much! ♥ Well, that's the beauty of elliptical fics: they give birth to a lot more bunnies, with any luck! :D I'm glad you mentioned X, because I have such a clear image of it: I did these in order and didn't cheat (much), but Xavier was with me almost from the beginning.

Poor you! *empathises* I mean, Florida I could live with, no problem, but Bush's brother must rather wreck the whole deal...
