Reviews For You Can't Always Get What You Want
Author's Response: I haven't given up, I'm just completly blocked right now. I hope to get back to this story soon. Thanks for the review. T
Author's Response: Thanks so much! T
Author's Response: Since we only see Draco through Harry's eyes in cannon, unless I write him as a bad, evil prat, he won't ever be in character for stories that flesh him out. I tend to view all the characters as three dimensional, so they all have good and bad points. That's actually the way people are. No one is completely evil. Thanks for the review. T
I was particularly pleased with the development of Ron's character--in many of the Severus and Harry stories, Ron gets short shrift. I like your idea of him ending up a medic, and his marriage to Hannah Abbott. I sympathise more and more with Severus as he walks the ever more slender tightrope of being truly Dumbledore's Man, while keeping his cover, and protecting the children at Hogwarts as best he may while pretending to support the horribleness that the Deatheaters have brought there. Lucius and Narcissa's switch to the Order of the Phoenix is much more realistic and satisfying to read in your fic than it was in TDH. I particularly loved that little characterization bit about Lucius and Narcissa dancing and how he realized the first time they danced that he could love her. I'm so very glad that he did admit that love. I just hope that he gets to say it again when Voldy is finally dispatched. But in this fic-verse, I'm not exactly sure that he will survive even if he is able to save his family. This Wizarding War feels real. The horror and pain of it, the stolen moments of passion and pleasure, the fleeting instances where hope springs up, and the too many times when the darkness, blood and fire overcome things. I am very impressed by your writing. There were a couple of places where you had the word "site" where you should have more properly used "sight", and "rein" where you ought to have spelled it "reign", but your tale kept me enthralled when, normally, things like that would have thrown me out of the story. I look forward to the next chapter and all the chapter to come. I pray that you aren't afflicted with writer's block anymore. Well done! Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I really am glad this story is being received well. My normal grammar beta is off-line. She's the one who usually catches my grammatical and other errors. Sorry if they pulled you out of the story.

I hope that he can be with Millie some day again soon. How awful to lose his whole family too. I'm glad that some of the Slyterhins are seeing the Dark Lord for what he is. Great chappie Tambra. Yeah, stupid writer's block. I hate it, and it's become a familiar companion of late. Author's Response: Things are going to get a little hectic from here on out in the story. I have one or two more chapters to set up the rest of the war, and then... BANG! I'm sorry to hear about your WB. I commiserate with you completely. T
Author's Response: If you find it interesting, you might be happy to hear that I have sent a new chapter to my beta just this afternoon. Thanks for the kind words. T
Author's Response: thanks for the comment. I am working on the next chapter as I write... well, not exactly, but you know what I mean!

Was that a description of an actual painting? Author's Response: Yes it was, but it was actually painted much later and not in the Louvre. It was painted by... I want to say Howard Pyle or possibly Maxfield Parrish... for a children's book. I don't remember what the name of it was, however.
Author's Response: I'm glad you emoyed what I have written. I hope to have the next chapter out next week. T
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the kind words, and the review. T
Wow, just wow. Keep up the great work! Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review. I'm glad you're enjoying the storyl. T
I love how Severus is warming up to Harry, Draco's determination to change for the better, and how Ron is coming into his own as he fights the war on a different front. I know Harry and Hermione will work things out...but ouch, that was a nasty little exchange. I'm looking forward to more! Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review. I really need to hear some good news about this story. I seem to have lost confidence in my writing. I really hated the way Hermione seemed to act sometimes. I think Harry telling her off is only fitting, even if he did take it too far, mentioning her parents like he did. I'm also glad you like how Ron is shaping up. I do like exploring his role outside the sidekick position he was given. And if you've read any of my other stories, you know that I can't leave the Malfoys to their evil ways. I really think that by the end of the series all three of them had changed, maybe not enough for most people to like them, but they had. Thanks again! T |
