    Interesting story plot...very gritty. Might I request less Ron self-destructive-sex in future chapters.
    Please continue.

    Ohhhhh I had the biggest review on the go but accidentally deleted it!!! Frustrating but I'll try again.

    I read through all the series so far over the past few nights - which took some staying up really late and being positively glued to my laptop, but I did it. Everytime I was away, I was in such suspense and kept thinking, "But what will happen to Snape and Ginny?!?" So I really got involved in this series, I feel. It's phenomenal to be caught up like that while reading, even when taken to the darkest subjects. I sympathise with your disclaimer against flaming, for as hard as it is to read these works, it must've been even harder for you to write and research.

    You've shown very natural progressions for your characters. Snape still feels like Snape, even being in love and after all he's gone through. I can see how Ron, who probably had one of the most drastic about-faces in the series, became how he is, as well. Each character's point of view adds something new to our previous knowledge, like when Fred said that Ron claims Hermione was the one to betray them. I can't wait to hear Lucius' point of view more in that as well.

    The (sometimes post) Apocalyptic world you portray is really well fleshed-out. Did you forget the name of one single character who strolled through the pages of Harry Potter?!? The transition from wartime to dictatorship to an all-encompassing government, mainly seen in the 1st story I suppose, is subtly woven in for the most part - it doesn't feel like CNN or anything, anyway - but was really interesting to watch develop.

    Since I spent so much time with these stories, I have so many things I want to say about them. First, predictions: I predict that Sanguini is after Ron, which is why Lucius seems to show so much otherwise-irrelevant-looking interest in Ron... OK, I'm not very good at predictions, I guess that's it.

    I have a few questions though, more out of curiosity than anything else.
    - whatever happened to Camus?!? He's an orphan now!
    - was the girl who Black Wolf mercy-killed at the uprising Dolohov's ensorcelled baby girl who was going to be turned? or, have we seen Dolohov's daughter so far, and is she a werewolf now?
    - was the gay werewolf who hung out with Ginny in the brothel the one who Ron got to... do, at the camp, that he mentioned?
    - how are those poor Hogwarts students going to fit in all those new classes?

    I noticed you hadn't updated in a while, so I do hope you're not discouraged and don't plan on continuing. I am riveted by this series and can't wait to see what happens next. I don't check this site often, so if there's any chance you can e-mail me when/if you update this, that would be great. In the meantime, thanks for all your hard work in putting these stories together.

    I really like reading this side of the story--it's neat to see how other people perceive the same events. I look forward to more about Ron and Teddy!
