I'm an admitted lurker of the type that drives authors insane. I love reading - your story is fabulous. It's one of the ones that I look forward to updates. As for your comment that this isn't more porn orientated - so what....I read adult HP fanfic for the adult situations and emotions, not necessarily for the porn. In fact, I skip some stories because of too much porn. Please keep writing and please keep posting.

I'm still reading. I just found the updates to your wonderful story and re-read from the beginning again. I think I said once before that I loved the letter format -- there is just something really intimate of exchanging letters back and forth between people. I loved how you fleshed out both characters and their journey so far together. I was really upset when I read about how manipulative your Albus really was towards Severus. It is always interesting to see how each author depicts Albus and I am always interested in when he is protrayed in this way. It is funny because from the movies - when I see Richard Harris in the role of Albus, I cannot see the manipulative Dumbledore but with Michael Gambon playing Albus, I can see it more. I wonder if anyone else feels this way. Anyway, I am rambling. I do have to say that I was upset when reading about the break between Severus and Hermione after she discovers the photo in Severus' hands. But after reading the next chapter, it had to happen to bring them to the point of trying to bring about the antidote to the love potion. I am looking forward to the next chapter and hope that your mom is doing better. Thanks for updating. I don't mind if there is a long wait in updating, I just wish AFF had some kind of alert to let us know when the chapters are updated. I have been following some stories on FF.net for over 3 years so I am patient and I just keep looking for the updates to my favorites. And if it is any consolation, I wrote a story on fanfiction.net and I rhad over 600 hits and only 5 reviews -- go figure. I for one will hope you continue to write and finish this story as it really is a different take on the relationship between Hermione and Severus. Thank you for updating.

I'm here and reading your story. I like it =3

Don't give up on us yet. I'd really like to see how this will end up, and will be a shame not to let Severus and Hermione have their [ hopefully? ] happy ending just since we have been bad readers *is feeling ashamed*

just wanted to mention how I love Snape's small dialogs with his so called chicken. never fails to make me laugh =D

I think you're right on a few counts, you took a break away from the story for personal reasons. No one can fault you for that.
I happen to have enjoyed this story from the beginning. (and i like porn, but i like substance more) I was mightly surprised when i saw an update.

Since you only post here, have you thought about posting on one of the LJ comms? (at least for promotion)
give people a chance to re-read the fic.

I do apologize for not having left a review before. I am quite enjoying this story. I find the characters engaging and amusing and the plot intriguing. Other than that I have nothing constructive to say.

I remember reading this story a while back and am glad that you have decided to continue with it. I would hope that the idea that this story is not receiving reviews is due to the lack of smut is incorrect. The plot and each chapter seem very though out and flow nicely. As the relationship between Hermione and Severus builds I find that gratuitous smut is not needed. Alluding to the fact adds to the intimacy between the two. I look forward to reading the next chapter

Sorry, I am one of the lurkers that have been faithfully reading this story. I do so enjoy it and especially Snapes letter to Kingsley threatening to put his order of merlin on Voldie's grave! Priceless. Your story is very well written and I really love each and every update. Keep up the good work and hope that you have a very happy and healthy new year!

I'm here; I'm reading your story; I like it. ;)
I've been following this story for a few chapters now; so, I apologize, because I am, really, a terrible reviewer. Something I strive to do better at, but always seems to slip my mind. :(
Anyway, things I like about this story: Yorick, whenever Sev starts to talk to his 'chicken' it makes me laugh. Letters, there aren't as many in these later chapters, but those early letters (and the involved dramatic irony) were, too, amusing in the extreme. Hermione's neighbor, there's always one, isn't there? All in all, I'm thoroughly enjoying the progression of your story and can't wait to see how the antidote hunting goes. Keep up the good work! And in case you don't hear from me again (which, despite how much I wish it weren't so, is somewhat likely, if I'm being honest) feel free to assume that no news is good news!

Hi. First I am really sorry for your mother, this must be something horible.
I'm sorry that you are disapointed that you do not have a lot of reviews. You said that this site is easy to post stories, but I don't know if you have noticed that it has become harder to post a review even when you have an account - each time you should type "stop spams words" (I don't know how you call it), this is the only fanfiction site that requests this. I have stopped writing reviews here since this no userfriendly idea. I think that maybe I am not the only one.
If you want a lot of readers and reviews I would advise you to post on fanfictiondotcom (there you can even see how many people red your story by day or month), I am sure that you know all the other site where you can post.
I will gladly review each of your new chapters if you start to post on another site.
Good luck!

I've been reading this fic from the beginning and was starting to think that it was dead. But then you guys started posting again and I was pleasantly surprised. YAY more scenes with Snape prattling on to Yorkick!! I love that dopey chicken. **grins** Anyway, I think that it's nice to have a fan fiction of substance rather than smut. Don't misunderstand me. I like a healthy dose of smoochies between Sev and Mione, just like the next fan girl. But some of these fics are just porn and nothing else, not to mention poorly conceived and atrociously written. Lack of betas can be a boon or a curse. Thankfully, you fine folk can spell, put together a sentence, and have a wonderful post-Voldie piece that keeps me wanting more. I apologize for my lack of response. I am a graduate student and my life gets in the way of my pleasures - leisure reading being one of them. Thank-you for this one. It's great! Kudoz! ^ ^

This is one of my favorite stories and I look forward every day to seeing the updates. I've been a Rickman-induced Snapegirl(okay, so I'm 41! So what! LOL!) for a long time, and this is exactly the way I picture him to really be. This 'essence' that you've tapped into (the only other writer I can think of that gets close is MsFigg) does him so much justice. I'm not into the 'he falls in love with her after one fuck and she gets pregnant has babies and they live happily ever after' format that so many other writers do - mainly I think because of my age, cynicism and knowledge of the way men really are! This take on him is so refreshing and adorable in his own twisted way! Keep up the good work - I look forward to reading any and all updates as they come and hey - if you ever need a beta, I'm always available!

hi, I don't normally review, but on the few rare occasions that I do, it's for a reason. First let me say how terribly sorry I am for your loss. Second I have been following your story since it was first posted. You are doing a wonderful job and I look forward to each and every update no matter how long it takes. I am currently following a story that the author only gets to update every 6 months or so. See now I'm babbling. Anyways back to my point; ultimately it's your choice to continue or not, I find as an author myself if you start writing for your fans instead of for yourself you tend to lose interest in it. First and foremost always write for yourself. If you are not happy with it then start over, if you are happy then continue. Just remember I may not always review, but I am always reading.

TTFN (Tah Tah For Now)
