Reviews for Snapey Went A Courting

    So the two nice lady lawyers are gonna go to the tabloids. Hooboy, Sev's made things worse. I thought thing were looking up for him after Chapter 4. Devoted fathers are all too rare, and the book was a sweet gift. Then he goes and unleashes the hellhounds of Fleet Street! Accidentally, but still! Just what Hermione was dreading.

    This is a farce -- does that mean a happy ending after many ludicrous twists and turns? Go ahead, drag it out for 50 chapters, it's great fun!

    Chapter 5... I know that I feel badly for Severus, but Remus has to be a close second!!! He sounded sincere as well as hurt!!! If things weren't bad enough for Severus already....

    I do believe that all hell is about to break loose!!! Too bad Severus didn't go running out the door when he had 1st though about it!!! Can't wait to see what will be in the Prophet!!! Til chapter 6, Deb >^..^

    Heehee! Cross-dressing Harry? Strop and Tick? Poor Remus? Sobbing Hermione? What's with a single witch and a newborn that has all the wizards tripping over themselves in order to propose? Enquiring minds want to know. Can't wait to see what hits the papers and, as usual, I'm looking forward to what comes next.

    This is so much fun. I guess that the custody problem will now get splashed all over the Wizarding World. I'll be watching for updates. Hope everthing is going better for you!!!

    Hugs,

    I appreciate a story that makes me laugh out loud or swear, this chapter has done both. I'd like to say, Harry meet...Ed Wood. Very funny and entertaining. Thanks I look forward to reading more as you have time.

    Poor Hermione, four wizards wto marryarry her. Wish I had her luck. I would have said YES to Lupin in a New York minute. She could brew his wolfsbane potion every month. It could have worked.
    Too bad that her prediction about the wizarding papers is going to come true. Stupid Severus... messed up again.
    Write more soon. (please)

    I adore this story! What you've written here is definitely different from the typical SS/HG fare. Like the best absurd writing, very real issues lurk beneath the surface here. This just jumped into my favorite WIPs list.

    Not Waldo -- the other kids'll call him Dodo! Not Saccius either -- that'll turn into, uh, Satchmo? What's wrong with Dave or John or Phil?

    Snape better go easy on the firewhiskey. If he gets affectionate again, ioneione'll hex him where it hurts. Maybe she can cure him of his antediluvian ideas. Maybe he has potential. The book was a lovely gift, both thoughtful and useful.

    Enjoying the farce greatly. Looking forward to ch. 5.

    Another wonderful chapter. It seems like Snape is starting to settle down and appeal to Hermione in a way that she will appreciate. Can't wait to see how this progresses.

    You've very effeely ely created a new villain, thus shifting the focus from Snape to Ron quite neatly. The knight in shining armour it seems is a lothario with no intentions of changing his ways, but the seeming marriage proposal; no doubt written in a post coital haze of eyeliner, just adds to the twist of the knife.

    Snape's reaction to his newborn son is perhaps one of the best clues to how you've shifted the focus. He goes quite effectively from 'that bastard' to the doe eyed daddy icon - and in the face of the farce, you've set him up as the clown.

    Oh he keeps his snark and he does use the intonation to try and bully back his position of strength, but it's lost and I think you've managed to quite neatly convey that both Hermione and Severus know this.

    Hermione's natural reaction to Snape's presence is tempered by the less than stellar suturing job - and her overriding desire to see Waldo/Saccius returned to her bosom - literally - as the book implies. It's an interesting use of analogy (the Virgin birth, the Earth Mother, the lioness fighting for her cub, etc) to further strengthen the concept that all is not a bed of roses - for any of the characters.

    The addition of the black widow - the spider who eats her mates post coitus is quirky, and just helps to add another layer to the maze, though I think some might not note the parallel. It does however further strengthen the proposition that Severus is the clown in all of this, from the dodgy ejaculation to his position in no-mans land as it stands at the moment. In fact the war as it stands is for Snape to prove himself a man and not a few random sperm who were mighty good swimmers. ;)

    Of all the most interesting and inventive things in this chapter - the book, old, rare and prized is the thing Snape bestows to Hermione. I can't help thinking that you've lulled the reader (me in this instance) into a false show of compassion. Basically I'm waiting for the sting in the proverbial tail. I have no doubt that it'll be an absolute corker. :)

    I do have to say that this farce is very deftly done. It could quite easily be whimsy, but it's not. It is however inspired, cutting and very clever, and the mark of that is in its complexity.

    Heheh,

    Another great chapter. Loved the description of Snape's mother. Black Widow indeed. o loo loved the scene between Snape/Hermione and Ron. Ron is such a prat. Loved that the book Snape gave Hermione was so useful. I do wish the poor little bugger their genes combined to make had a better name than Waldo or Saccius, though.

    Ron - too funny. Severus afraid of his mother. Love it. I do hope Hermione takes care of those stitches. Yikes. Thanks a bunch.
