Oh. MY. God ( ... )

LOLOLOLOLOL

I saw that post you made where you guessed me like an HOUR after they were revealed but I sat on my hands the whole time. I am so, so glad you liked it: I was schvitzing and contemplating writing you an email from a sock account apologising for how crappy it was.

It was at least fun not writing in Remus/Tonks and playing with the dynamics of the Remus/Sirius relationship. I enjoyed it and from my perspective I felt that I did something a little different and fun with it. It's definitely made me keen to write more of the ship.

In other words, I'm glad you liked it. And thanks for being such a lovely person and a great author to actually inspire me.

I love this. I love how nutty Sirius gets, and it is funny, but not exactly. Okay, I laughed, but understood that underneath that crazy behavior was someone who really felt out of control and didn't know how to express it, so look how it manifested.

Kinda depressing really, *g* but you handled it in such a straightforward way that what could have been pretty darn angsty was more bittersweet, and I like that a lot.

And poor Remus. Oh my. :D

gunderpants April 30 2007, 06:44:55 UTC

I'm really crap at angst, so I jumped at the opportunity to at least make it a little bit surreal in its hyperstupidity. Cheers!

This is lovely. I really like how you've managed to make a comedy out of events that are actually bloody awful when it comes down to it. It's moving but not depressing.

Oh, and Remus Lupin, sekkrit Enid Blyton fan = ♥

Oh, truest of the trufax. If he were a Famous Five member, he'd be Anne - super-feminine and staying behind whilst Dick, Julian and George are on nature rambles to bake pies.

Cheers!

Just the fact that I can totally picture Sirius acting like this... Thank God for Remus growing a few, even if it was with a little help from his friends! (and Tonks was fantastic! Yay!) Comedic, but in a nicely dark way - the truth of events always right there, not even under, but right on the surface. And such a creative twist to L's original story!

Very nicely done!!

Remus - useless, or most uselessest?

But thank you! It made me so happy that a lot of R/S OTP'ers enjoyed it: I worried it would be a bit offensive in that I didn't focus on the shipping so much, but honestly the story stuck out as being so stupid that I couldn't write it any other way.

midnitemaraud_r April 30 2007, 07:14:51 UTC

uselessest is totally a new word! :-P

It made me so happy that a lot of R/S OTP'ers enjoyed itI always wonder about shipping tendencies. I've seen a lot of OTPers - in all ships - who are so completely set on the characters being one thing and one way, ONLY, and any deviation from that mold that the shipper has in their head is considered "wrong" or "bad" or hell, even blasphemy. I refuse to lock myself into that singular mindset, especially where Remus/Sirius is concerned. I love the variety and the versatility ( ... )

This was tremendous fun (even if possibly bipolar Sirius was a little on the scary side) and I loved that Sirius' defence was that Remus should be the last person to complain about being passive-aggressive! Also, tough-talking Tonks is a nice big giveaway as to the identity of this particular Mystery Author!

:( I'M TOO PREDICTABLE

I'm really glad that you had fun reading it. I had a lot of fun writing it as well. (Hope all is going well in your neck of the woods too!)

Reading the story (before the reveal) made me think, "Hmmm, I must re-read that essay/analysis of Tonks written by .... was it gunderpants?"
