SEQUINS!!!!! *shuts up now*

What is this with people who've never written a fic before, and handle charries instead? You always have the most amazingly powerful stories, and they're always short... Well, maybe I'm generalising a little, but go read Ayesha's (Afterglow here) story! ZOMG, it is AMAZING.

I loved it. Loved Loved Loved. It was just so... loverful! (Is this why my poor girl is never good at expressing herself? Hm...) It was so powerful, and sad, and powerfully sad... and althought I hate Harmony almost as much as I hate Dramione, this was just wonderful. I shall stop rambling now, but can I say it just one more time?

I loved it.

As those who fought in the Battle of Hogwarts return for their final year, will the bonds forged in battle bring them closer together, or drive them apart.

Taryn!

I signed up - I told you I would, didn't I?
Anyways, I have already said my thoughts on this chapter -at least I thought I did between the vicious comma-hacking - but I will repeat myself. IT IS WONDERFUL! I love it to bits, and that's not only because I beta it. My favouite bit of this chapter (if you can call it a bit) is Luna - you characterise her so well and I can just see her saying and doing all those things.

I am obviously a perfectionist.. I shall never be satisfied! Smile and laughed hysterically as you know I shall be pouring over my annotated version of this chapter, and the one you've posted, to see if I missed out some mistakes (not that there are many... But still).

Anyways, I am on to read the next chapter. By the time I post this it will probably be midnight and you will be screaming at me to go to bed, but hey.

Love always,
The Comma Nazi

Author's Response: Ah, my sweet Emma *coughCommaNazicough*. I have not had the opportunity to go back and edit in your corrections in the majority of my story, love. I will get to it, though, I promise. Thank you so much for joining this lovely site, and for reading and leaving a review of my little story. I will be sending some more of it your way shortly. And yes, midnight on a school night is far too late to be up. You must be well rested to go and learn the proper use of commas so you can continue your eradication of them ;o).

Perfect banner made by Marauder By Night over at SAYS! Thank you so much!

A year and a half after the final battle, Hermione is having a very bad day.
Reviewer: war and peace Signed starstarstarstar
Date: 18/04/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

*whispers* I have a comma to add!
'“I take it Ginny is away with the team if you were eating by yourself this evening?”' - comma between team and if.. I think. I don't think I'm feeling quite alright if I'm adding commas, but yeah...

And I'm back to my normal self... 'Was she losing him to that, Lavender Wannabe?' No comma there, love.

See? I managed to beta it even when you refused to send it to me! That was hardly questionable material! Honestly...

If you would like I can do a more in depth beta job if you sent me it in a Word doc.

I'm killing myself picturing your face when you read this...

The Comma Nazi

Author's Response: LOL...You are not supposed to be reading this! And adding a comma...*gasp* you don\'t mean it, lol. Be careful now, you don\'t want them to think you\'re going soft! ;o)



Reviewer: war and peace Signed
Date: 18/04/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

And now... for a review that has NOT ONE mention of commas...
I loved it. Although I shall repeat what Ford the Prefect said - the world is not yet ready for a drunken Hermione. It's a hilarious picture though. Interesting how she kissed Neville - I would never have seen that coming. Ron in the photo (how he doesn't know that Jo likes him) is just so.. Ron. Fabulous.

Emma

Author's Response: Thank you. I adore Ron, and his cluelessness, lol. And kissing Neville...that was the whole reason for writing VoH and this little one-shot. I so wanted to have her kiss him, without it ruining everything with Ron...although...I imagine at some point he\'s going to find out...doodley-doo. :o)



Parallel Lines by NevillesSoulmate

Summary: James and Lily are parallel lines. Their paths never cross. What James wouldn't give to be perpendicular. Or even an opposite interior angle. But maybe they're different. Maybe they're something special...

Date: 27/05/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Parallel Lines

can I just say I love you? All your stories are amazing, and I love it how you base it all on something simple, and quite often related to maths or science. As a highschool student, I find this highly entertaining. Now I'm off to see if I can find one on Pythagoras! xD

Kidding, kidding. Taryn (ginwannabe) got me onto you and I worship her for it. Almost as much as I worship you.

And, end pointless ramble!

Over and out,
Emma xx

Author's Response: This review just completely made my day! Thank you so, so much!\r\n\r\n*is sheepish* Yeah, I have four stories based off of science or math or poems... stuff I wasn\'t too keen on in high school (well, except the poems, I loved the poems, but I hated analyzing them and just picking, picking, picking at them.) I\'ll defintely have to thank Taryn for recommending my stories to you, and I\'m so glad that you like them!\r\n\r\nYou\'ve no idea how much I appreciate your comments! They made me smile. :) Thanks again, Emma!



Lunar Prayer by Melila

As a rule, I hate poetry.

This...made me un-hate poetry. Seriously. It was amazing, and the imagery and the wording is perfect. A hugely well deserved 10/10, hun--I might even go and write some poetry now. (Don't tell my english teacher I said that. XD)

My prayers and hopes go out to you and your father.

The Dare by Horcrux Stealer

Reviewer: war and peace Signed
Date: 04/05/2009 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue

tahi
tahitahitahi.

I think I just died of amusement. XD This is EPIC--fabulous idea (though was that Marissa's? Or did you just have to write a Drinny?) and fabulous first chapter, and I'm on to read the second one right away!

Just one thing, though--when she thinks, 'Merlin, how am I going to do this?' the capital S in She isn't needed--I know it's a question mark, but we're doing punctuation of that sort of thing in class atm, so I just thought I'd mention it. -ninja face-

ilyyyyyyyy
twit-tastical!

Author's Response: Nah, I just had to write a Drinny. It's my brilliant brain that came up with this plot idea. *boasts* No, but seriously, this isn't one of my best ideas. But I have fun writing evilly fanon Draco and a hassled fanon-ny Ginny. *giggles* And thanks for pointing out the S thing. I'm not really sure when I'm going to correct it because I'm just that lazy and all. But yeah, you ROCK!

Tahi, Ginny is characterised PERFECTLY in this--the firey side of her comes out, and it's spectacular. Draco is also scrumptious--"You're such a [bleep]." "I try," just cracked me up, lol. I LOVED it.

And the whole engorement charm and the rabbit...it's all perfect. Seriously, it's fabulous, and while I usually DETEST Drinny in any way, shape or form...I love this.

YAYYY TAHI xx
twitters

Author's Response: Yeah, I'm quite proud of the Engorgement charm and bigger breasts idea but the rabbit idea was okay-ish, I guess. I am thrilled to see that you're loving this so far. Have I converted into a Drinny fan, yet? :P

I love you, Twit! *tacklesquish*

I just...just died. Ginny...hitting on Hermione...in a pink frock...dear GOD, woman. How did you come up with this? D: It's gold!

I absolutely adored this chap, and hope you continue and updated soon--I'll be reading! This wasn't my favourite chapter, but it was definitely one of the most insane. xD Insanity is good, of course.

xx twit.

Author's Response: Gold? Really? Lol ily, Twitty. Your awesome little review prompted me to write more and voila, I posted another chapter! :D You're bloody awesome, Twit *tackle attacks*



YOUR Date With Draco Malfoy by NevillesSoulmate

Summary: It is four minutes to seven o’clock on February 14th, and you just can’t seem to shake the jitters. It might possibly be because it’s 1.53 degrees outside, or maybe it’s because you’re being taken out at seven on Valentine’s Day by the hottest bachelor wizard in London: Draco Malfoy.

Okay, so you know I fangirl you like woah. xD And this piece was just as amazing as the others I've read from you--though the grammar slips are surely on purpose? If they're not I'd suggest reading over it, but i absolutely LOVED the story, and the second person was pulled off spectacularly, and it was hilarious. ^___________^

Draco speaking 2348972935869 diferent languages and the whole relation to fanfic and...yeah. loved it. :P

A Broken Hallelujah by Kristen Bernadine

Rated: MA18+ • 8 Reviews starstarstarstarstar
Summary:

Stunning banner made by Azure at TDA!

banner

A love blossoms in a time when France is on the verge of crumbling to Germany during World War II. A love so real and undiluted, it cannot be smudged by the cold blackness of death. Based off of Edith Piaf's song Hymne A' L'amour.


Reviewer: war and peace Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 15/03/2010 Title: Chapter 1: A Broken Hallelujah

This was an absolutely stunning piece, Kristen!  The atmosphere, the words - I was dragged into Vivienne's head, and the ending...I didn't see it coming.  I mean, I figured HE would die, but not her...

 

I'm not very good at forming coherent sentences after reading stories like this, but I thought I'd mention just something I noticed at the beginning - the way Armand sounds... well, his speech sounds like it's French.  You know how French people have that particular way of saying things?  I'm probably just being silly, but I thought it was amazing.  I've lived in France (not for long, but I'm still going to claim it) and this was just stunningly real.  There was nothing to make you remember that this wasn't non-fiction, or at least completely and utterly real.

 

The emotions were amazing - the way you captured her despair was perfect.  And the flashback at the end told so much.  All 2k of it told so much - you're absolutely amazing, and I'll have to read more of your work soon!

 

- Emma



Author's Response:

Thank you, Emma!! This review made me smile so much, and really, I'm really sorry it has taken so long to respond back :(. Real life has been busybusybusy. Wow, thank you! Yeah, she would die...she didn't have the strength to carry on without Him. Armand was the bond that held her together. And no, you're most certainly not being silly! That was my goal and I'm so happy you thought he really did sound French! I loved writing Armand, especially in the dinner scene. That is such a huge compliment and again, I want to hug you. Thank you so much Emma!

Date: 10/04/2010 Title: Chapter 1: 9.11

Hey!  It's Emma with your requested review - I've been on Gluttony for yonks and yonks, so this is my old hpff name. XD

Moving on! I read this the other day, and I was almost in tears by the end.  Perhaps it was just remembering the terror I felt back in 2001 - I was seven, and in England at the time, so... I didn't exactly have the best grasp of the situation.  But NYC's my birthplace and we have friends there, so I was terrified - by the end of it I would run out of the room the second the news came on.

I don't think it was just memories that caused that, though.  This is an absolutely STUNNING piece of writing, Kristen - I would be immensely proud of it if I were you.  Heck, I wish I were you just so I could say I wrote this. :P  But really - the way you captured the whole situation was amazing.  The opening scene, with the taxi driver...I honestly don't have words to review this.  It was so REAL - you could seriously imagine it happening, and the way they got through security as the airport staff were changing, one getting off early... I'm in tears for real now.  Geez, Kristen. XD

The most spine-tingling part by far is '“Alice, honey,” she says, her brown eyes shining, “talk to Daddy; it’s time to say goodbye.”'  I can't tell you how much that's just so chilling and heart-wrenching and Merlin, girl.  The way you weaved a completely normal story - of you waiting for your surgery - was genius, because there was a huge contrast between what you were going through and what Alice and her mother were going through.

And because I still have no words and honestly, I can't review this at all and I"m so sorry - you can request a different one if you like, anything at all - I shall leave you with my favourite line in the entire thing (which happens to now be my favourite thing on this entire site):

'A hot, garish, orange light consumes and blinds Alice. And Alice touches the face of God.'

10/10
