    lr: This story is getting mixed reactions. Some like it, some love it, some hate it. That's how it is with every story I think, just that people don't express it. I write what I enjoy primarily and I am enjoying this story, although it's not coming easy at all. I'm paying attention to what's being said about it. As for my weird humor, lol, that's just me. I find the strangest things funny and see humor in almost everything. Glad you are enjoying the story. Thanks for commenting.

    Miss Figg: This is very different than your usual writing, but I enjoy the story and don't find it boring. Sometimes to me your writing comes off as as a bit friviolous, not to say the stories aren't enjoyable, just too light concerning serious matters. You have an odd, off-beat sense of humor inserting it at weird moments. I disagree with a fan's estimation of the character description. These are new characters and the direct approach seems best. I see them clearly in my head. The story doesn't feel rushed to me, but you aren't dancing through it willy nilly this time. I don't think the interactions are heavy at all. If you were to go straight to the promised action without establishing some kind of connection, it would seem contrived. I apprecate the work you are doing and want to commend you on accepting criticism so gracefully. Mostly you get SQUEE reviews. It's good to see you can handle ones that aren't SQUEES.

    A Fan: I had just finished my author note for the last chapter when I received your review for the story, and I agree. It is very heavy-handed and interaction based. It doesn't have the usual flow at all, and I am painfully aware of the "rushed" aspect, and mention it in the author notes. This is not a "flow" story for me, and in this case, I have to really think rather than letting the story just go. It's much different than what I usually write and I am determined to get through it and not give up on it. I do appreciate the concrit, it just supports my own feelings as I write. But it can't all be easy, and I do need the feedback concerning what is lacking. But, I'm happy to say the actual novel itself has the flow . . . but combining the two worlds is like stirring concrete that's hardening. Still, I'm going to keep working at it just the same because it has benefits for me as a writer. Thank you for caring enough to say what you really think. I hope others won't hesitate to be just as honest. I'm a big girl. I can take it. ;)

    Your writing in this is very heavy handed and your character descriptions feel like reading a police report. "Suspect, 5'9 165lbs long straight brown hair, tatoo on right shoulder." This story lacks the ease, lightness and flair of your other work (the ones that were mostly ooc anyway). It feels rushed and has an air of trying too hard and, I hate to say it, boring. Please, use this as the concrit it's meant to be and not a flame. I love your work.

    Valencia: I don't think people are afraid to hurt my feelings, and besides . . . my feelings wouldn't be hurt simply because I took the risk and wrote this knowing from the beginning it wouldn't be for everyone. Firstly, it's not a "romance" and you know HG/SS shippers love romance. Hell, I love romance, sexual tension, the hunt and all that good stuff. It's just not in this one. Secondly, it has original characters in it that hold a primary position in the story. Original characters are usually secondary and most Shippers hate to see original characters in any shape or form in their HG/SS. lol. So it's no surprise to me you don't like the story, and my feelings aren't hurt by that. Then, couple that with "Heroes" being a crossover, and I don't think crossovers are that popular anyway, especially if the characters aren't known at all as in the case of Artimus and Dahlia. But you have to realize that writing this serves a purpose for me as well, since it allows me to separate the characters and worlds more clearly in my mind so I don't have too many similarities to HP in my own novel. So, to be honest, people saying the story is boring won't stop me from completing it, nor will it hurt my feelings. I find it interesting and helpful, which is why I am continuing it. Luckily, there are hundreds of interesting HG/SS stories on AFF, so you have plenty of other stories available and hopefully will find one that you can enjoy instead of plodding through this one. Thanks for your honest comment.

    Ooo, just lovely Ms Figg!!! Haven't lost your Snape/Hermione touch at all!!! A nice change to have a less domineering and more caring Snape-though a surprise to encounter one who doesn't want a bj! But I understand his feelings about this. Hope all is well. Happy writing! Killer K

    *squeeeeee!!!* A cross-over! With "Protectors of the Realm"! OMG, how can this get more awesome? :) I am incredibly glad that you are back here, Ms_Figg. I loved what you did over at your new site and I am already very fond of your new characters, but I missed your HG/SS stories. It's great that you put them all in one story, because this way we readers can clearly see the differences between Severus and Artimus and between Hermione and Dahlia. Good work, as always. I'm hoping lemons are lurking already, I miss your style so much :)

    Love, Deirdre

    Yeah, I thought it would be amusing and a bit different from a writing standpoint. I usually write about Severus' nose flaring and pulsating for one reason or another, and I guess it was considered fitting, based on the size of his nose etc. I've done it a few times when he's been sleeping. His pulsating nostrils might even have been considered a little sexy by some :::clears throat::: I thought it would be interesting to have that happen with a woman, simply because it does. It has to. Men don't have a monopoly on pulsating noses when they sleep. lol. Or large noses. Apparently, female nostrils/noses are viewed differently than men's nostrils/noses by some. :) Dahlia has a broad nose, and it makes sense to me that at times, her nostrils would pulsate, especially if she's asleep and turning over, her breathing changing as she did so. In fact, I bet they flare like a bull's nose when she's pissed. lol.
