Reviews for Snape Redux

    Hi Pretty Delial,

    One of my friends suggested that I attempt to articulate a bit better why this chapter is cancelled/delayed. I've been watching the tv all day (something I never do) and seeing all the suffering due to the hurricane and the lousy half-arsed efforts of our government and well, I don't thinkI can write right now. SS/HG fanfic seems very trivial to me in light of this awful, awful experience so many are going through.

    Anyhow, I'm very sorry that you are in the area of this disaster, and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the area.

    Hugs and Bright Blessings,

    April

    Due to Hurricane Katrina and lack of electricity, I was unable to comment earlier, but I do very much love how your story has turned out. I hope you do write the bonus chapter, but if you don't, my heart will be very satisfied with the wedding and wedding night :)

    High Five, April Grey. I grinned so many times during the chapter...it was a great epilogue. Thank you so much for this great story. I enjoyed reading it and will look for more of your work.

    For a so-called "redemption" story: I must say, this rocked.

    I truly did not want to see it end, but was glad that the author handled the ending with appropriate applomb and maturity.

    All I want to do is read it over and over again!!

    Hi Loola,

    Thank you for the kind words.

    "However, in the last chapter especially, I felt you had a complete character reversal, without the grounds to really do so."

    My set up for the change of character is that he is no longer a double spy, he longer has Potter as a thorn in his side and he is free to indulge in the fantasy that none of it ever happened. On top of that, in my story I set it up that much of his irrational behavior was due to his removal of important memories. Does he still hate Potter? Yes. But he no longer has to deal with Potter! For me not to have Snape change would be doing a disservice to Snape and forcing a stereotype of who Potter and Rowling think he is.

    To elaborate on that--Throughout the books one sees Snape through Potter's eyes. But the one time we don't is in HBP "Spinner's End" chapter two. I've done the best I can manage in interpretting Snape's character as I see him, esp. based on that chapter. I have always freely admitted that any SS/HG fic is ALWAYS going to be non-canon because it has never been Rowling's intention to link the two up.

    That said, I know I can't please everyone.

    all the best,

    April

    Sob! Please say it ain't so!!! I had no idea that the end was so close! All I have to look forward to now is the epilogue. Well, on the bright side I should finally be able to clean my house again! I really like the whole disappearing to create a new life thing. I guess I'll just have to read your new story now. Hope you can put up the epilogue soon. As always- happy writing! Tengo que irme! Salud!
    Hugs and kisses!

    Hi. I loved this story to begin with - I thought it was intriguing in every way possible and I really enjoyed the first few chapters. I loved your characterisation of Snape following the events of HBP - he seemed so realistic and I really felt you got the right mix of evil and misunderstood. However, in the last chapter especially, I felt you had a complete character reversal, without the grounds to really do so. For me, I have to admit this last chapter was a disappointment. Maybe you'll tie things up a bit more in the epilogue - I hope so. But anyway, sorry if I've ranted, I have enjoyed the story, especially the first few chapters. Well done, and I do look forward to reading the epilogue. And this story probably still is the most feasible-seeming post-HBP fic I've read so far!

    Ohmigods, I can't believe that it's over! I'm happy but I'm sad too because I really enjoyed the storyand your writing. Oh my. Okay, this chapter was awesome. You totally had me fooled. I thought she'd decided upon Viktor and that Severus was totally gone. Anyway, it's a great resolution to your story and I'm so glad that I read it. I'll definitely keep my eyes open for new stories by you and definitely keep looking for the epilogue. Thank you, thank you for sharing your wonderful story.

    I loved the story, especially Snape's mental instability, and Hermione wandering around in his mind. The only thing that didn't fit was the ending. I dunno....didnt fit exactly...But great story anyways, good job.

    More great updates, sweetie! Will you ever disappoint? Probably not you Insufferable-Know-It-All!!! I have to admit that you are probably right about the age of AR(as much as it pains me,mind!)- I did wonder why they cast an older man for a character that wasn't that old. Maybe for the voice? I believe I read somewhere that they had originally wanted someone else to play the part, but he turned it down. I can't remember who, but I'm pretty sure he was a bit younger. And I also agree with you about the other too old actors, and as to Gerard Butler...one moment whilst I wipe the drool from my face... he would have been just dreamie! So now I must pout over my Alan confessions, but you're right. And I still love you,Alan!!! Back to your wonderful story-WOW! I get so totally immersed that I lose track of time(my hubby thinks me a bit of a looney, I believe!). Update SOON! Please! I must find out what happens to Snape!!! I hope he isn't too heartbroken over what Hermoine said and did. Happy writing and I hope to read from you soon! Tengo que irme! Salud!
    Hugs and kisses!
    Killer K ;p
