Reviews For Of Dogs and Dragons

Aha! So there it is. You made her realization happen realistically - through her acknowledgement of Talia's feelings. I'm glad it's happened - this means that plenty more is in store, and hopefully things will become even more interesting now! I'm definitely looking forward to it, and this story's a lot of fun to read (I know, I'm being repetitive :P ) :D
Blaire
Author's Response: Yeah, Talia was definitely helpful in this manner. Emilia really didn't know how she felt until she heard someone else thinking about her. Emilia's character is a bit weak in knowing about herself, but at least she finally figures it out. Yes, there is certainly more to come between Charlie and Emilia and I'm so glad you're looking forward to more!

Awesome! I love clever distractions :) And the fact that Hermione is a bit iffy about actually pretending she's pregnant is SO true to her character! :)
I like the gradual change Emilia and Charlie are making toward each other. It's enough to make me want to know more but it doesn't move TOO quickly, which is good. I can't wait for more! Great job as usual :D
Blaire
Author's Response: Haha.. I didn't even think that much about Hermione's reaction. I've been a bit worried about her character.. I'm not too sure if I have it down completely correctly yet. I'm glad it hasn't really been too quick for them.. not too much time passes by in this whole story, so it's difficult timing wise to plan this out. Thanks!

I like Emilia's initial response to the magic! The way she just immediately assumes it's a dream but in such a passive way is so original and interesting. I also like seeing she and Charlie slowly open up to each other, so to speak. I'm looking forward to seeing their relationship continue to develop. Great job, Jamie!
Blaire
Author's Response: Thanks. Her reaction to magic was something that I was really worried about because you never know how one would react. I tried to make it as believable as possible and I think it worked out okay. Charlie and Emilia are slowly becoming more connected and the reveal of magic will certainly help. Thanks again!

Aha! So she finally finds out. I think it's very realistic how you write her dislike for Charlie - it's not the overused "he's annoying but gorgeous" thing or similar. You have genuine dislike with real reasons, and it's interesting to watch play out even as I want something more to happen ;) Good job!
Blaire
Author's Response: Yep, she does find out eventually.. it had to happen. I've seen so many cliches used in fanfiction and I've tried to stay away from as many as I could. I really do hope I've been okay with that, and I'm glad you're still liking this. Thanks so much!

Uh-oh! Just when they were starting to warm up to each other... boom. Well, I can be patient :P
Again, a very interesting chapter! I like that you filled in a bit of Emilia's history so we have some background information and she's not a complete stranger. Can't wait to read more!
Blaire
Author's Response: Haha.. that was a bit of a tease, wasn't it. You do have to be pretty patient here.. I kind of do drag things out a bit.. my plan was for this to be about 20 chapters, but it's turned into 30. But I hope that doesn't make it boring or anything. Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

Bezoars to the rescue again! I love the different approaches people have to healing Emilia. Hermione is downright scary in her reality of the situation. Charlie will try anything that might help. The healer wants time to analyze everything into oblivion before acting. I feel like yelling "somebody do something!" And then, of course, Charlie does. This is an exciting ending to the chapter. Really good.
Author's Response: It was really fun thinking of the different possible ways that Emilia could be healed and figuring who would suggest what. I have some crazy ideas that will be brought up later too, which I hope make sense. I do hope that my ideas seem realistic enough since I don't really know much about medicine. Hermione is being really annoying here.. not too helpful to Emilia. But Charlie will help. Well.. maybe. Hopefully he'll help. :)

Well, finally! Yay for Charlie and Emilia. I always thought it was so unfair that JK left Charlie single. Now he's found something to rival his passion for his job in Emiia. Hermione to the rescue, I hope! When in doubt, ask her. She's bound to know something. Great chapter.
Author's Response: I know.. I absolutely hated that JKR left Charlie single. I didn't find out until after I already started this story and that brought a bit of a dilemna. I wasn't sure if I should follow this to canon or not and I'm still not revealing what I've decided. Thanks so much for continuing to read this and thanks for the great review!

What an interesting turn of events! Charlie is tough stuff when he's fighting for someone he cares about. I love how the Welcome Witch ( who really doesn't fit that description much, does she?) had to back down and allow him to bring Emilia in. I cannot wait to find out what happens next!
Author's Response: Charlie gets passionate about the things that he wants.. just like he'll fight for the dragons, he's ready to fight for Emilia now. I just pretty much took what I remembered about the Welcome Witch from the book (yeah.. she doesn't fit her name too well.. haha). Thanks for the review!

Interesting! And poor Taffy :( I like how you brought Hermione into this; out of the three, she seems most likely to try harder to help with this sort of thing, and it kind of brings another familiar face into the story, which is nice. I really like this chapter - and I'm looking forward to finding out who will try to save Taffy - though I have a hunch. :) Great job!
Blaire
Author's Response: I know.. poor Taffy.. I love that dog. I didn't plan to have Hermione as such a big role, but she really is the one who can help them out and it's nice to have a character that we know so well in with these more minor characters and OCs. I'm glad you liked this chapter!

Sometimes, the best answer is the simplest one ;o). I'm all about finding the simplest solution to problems, Hermione on the other hand, over analyzes everything and can't see the forest for the trees. I'm curious as to what's going to happen when Talia shows up at Charlie's. Is she going to discover some magical items and find out who he really is?
Author's Response: Yeah, well it could be the simplest answer. Hermione really is the best person to help, though you're right about her overanalyzing. She isn't exactly the best person to calm Emilia's nerves either. Yeah, well Talia is going to be a bit of a proble, though I guess you've already read that by now. Thanks again for the review!

Hmm... I really liked this! Part of it being from the dragon's - Linnie's - point of view was very interesting. I didn't expect it, but it was very good! And the rest of the chapter as well - I loved Charlie's ignorance of the telephone. You wrote that very well. :) Great job!
Blaire
Author's Response: Yeah, this chapter was a bit different, but I'm glad you liked it. I hope it wasn't too strange.. I've gotten pretty good remarks about it, but you never know. Hehe.. and the Charlie part of this chapter was fun to write. Thanks so much for the review and for continuing to read!

Oh, yay! I like the way you leave a little mystery at the end of your chapters; it always keeps me intrigued and wanting to read on. I'm loving this and how you're pulling it off! Can't wait to read more. Kudos :D
Blaire
Author's Response: The mystery element is fun to write about. This is really my first mystery type story and looking back on it there are several things I know I'd change, but I hope it's not too bad right now. I'm really glad you're enjoying this.. thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

Ohhh! A cliffhanger (of sorts)! I'm liking it more and more :D Again, you have such good characterizations. You're taking this premise down such an interesting road, and I'm gonna follow and see where it leads :P Keep it up, it's awesome!
Blaire
Author's Response: Hehe.. yes, I do love my cliffhangers, even though they may not be as intense as in other stories. I'm glad you like where this is going.. it's been so much fun to write and it's nice to hear comments about it. Thanks again!

Name: Eyriana (Signed) · Date: 28/08/2008 01:42 am · Chapter: The Date
I'm liking this story more and more. The date - I think you wrote it well, but I don't really like Talia much. That's a good sign though - that you're able to write characters different enough so that people can have different opinions about them. This is very good so far, and I'm looking forward to reading more! :D Great job, Jamie.
Blaire
Author's Response: Haha.. well a lot of people do like Talia at first, but the opinion of her character changes throughout. I'm glad that people can form different opinions of her.. I actually like her a lot, knowing more about her background from a character chart, but she can come across annoying at times. Thanks again for the review! I appreciate it! :)

This is another really good chapter! I love Emilia's characterization so far, and you have very realistic dialogue. I'm interested to know why there's a green mark that Muggles can't see - is that just assumed to be magic from the dragon, or does it play into the story more than that? I'm interested to see, as I am with everything else in the story. Great job!
Blaire
Author's Response: Yay.. I'm glad you like Emilia! She's fun to write (though sometimes annoying) because she's a lot like me. The green mark is an important point, though that really isn't explained until awhile later, just when you forget about it. Hehe. I'm glad you picked up on that clue though. Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

Very interesting, Jamie! I like the concept - something no one would have thought of, except for you obviously :P You characterize Charlie very realistically - too many people are written as instantly attracted to the seemingly "angsty" girl, or whatever - you did a good job of making it differnt. You also wrote her Muggle point of view of things very well - you may be surprised in me saying this, us all being Muggles, but there are a lot of fanfiction writers I've read that write Muggles as being completely suspicious and second-guessing everything that's actually Magical. You do such a good job, and there's none of that. Overall, this is really good and I'm excited to read more!
Blaire
Author's Response: Thanks so much for coming to read this (and review) Blaire! Yeah, I seem to have unique ideas and since I love Charlie and dogs this just captured my interest. I'm glad you like the characterization of Charlie.. it's a bit different, but I wanted to make him my own. I love writing about Muggles, and I hope it seems to work okay the way I've done it and the way I've created Emilia to be. I'm so glad you like it so far.. thanks!

Yay! It's finally out in the open...and they only have that little thing of Emilia going crazy between them now, lol. But Charlie's right, if anyone can help it's Hermione. I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take this. I liked how Bill came, and how Charlie was holding her hand when she woke up. Keep it going!
Author's Response: Yes, really finally it's revealed! And it's really only going to improve from here.. no more real questions.. I think. :) Yeah, Hermione will have to be the one to help again. I didn't mean to make her such a big part of the story, but she really is good at figuring things out. Thanks so much for the review again!

Oh, I just want to smack her father! I just can't imagine any parent ever treating their child like that. I enjoyed the flashback though, that little insight into Emilia's childhood was quite eye-opening. It helps to show why she's ro self-conscious. Another great chapter.
Author's Response: I know.. he's really terrible, isn't he? I'm glad that gave you a bit more of an insight into Emilia's childhood.. it really wasn't good and the only way to show that was from a scene like that. Thanks again for the review and continuing to read!

Oh no! I hope she'll be okay, but I'm so glad that Charlie is there with her! I really enjoyed the different POV's in this chapter. And it was nice to see that Dragos isn't a complete jerk. I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter!
Author's Response: Oh good.. I was a bit worried that this chapter was kind of scattered, but I'm glad you thoguht it was okay. And yes.. I somehow like Dragos, even though he might not be the best boss, so I couldn't make him evil. Or maybe he is.. *evil grin*. Haha.. thanks so much.. I'll post the next one soon!

Dun, dun, dun! Ruh-roh...I knew Charlie would never be able to get away with it. I liked this chapter better than the last one, it seemed to flow more easily. I liked seeing the flashback to the first time Charlie saw a dragon, and the connection with the first glimpse of the new baby dragon. One thing, though...a five year old wouldn't be an adolescent, that's not until the teen years. Well done, I can't wait to see how Charlie gets them out of this.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked this one, especially because it hasn't been beta'd like the last one has. The flashback was fun to write.. I really wanted to give a little perspective of Charlie's childhood. And yes, I meant to change that adolescent thing, somehow that slipped through when I re-edited it. Thanks for pointing it out.. I'll fix it right now!

Okay...enough pussyfooting...Emilia needs to get some self-confidence and just be straight with Charlie about her feelings. Bill's a nice guy, but I'd be uncomfortable, too, stranger that he is, lol. I'm on to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Yeah, Bill's a bit forward here, but he probably does make Emilia feel a bit uncomfortable. And we will see what's going on with Emilia and Charlie, as their relationship continues to develop. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I'm glad Linnie is free, even if she is tethered for a little while.
And they got to kiss finally... amazing how near death experiences get people all *ahem* excited. lol
Thanks Labby... I really do love this story.
Author's Response: Yep, the kiss finally came! I've been anticipating that part for awhile. Thanks so much for the review again - I appreciate it, and I hope to get up the next chapter soon.

Happy Birthday, Jamie (a little late I know, but the wishes are the same...yesterday would have been my grandfather's birthday as well). I'm intrigued...the green stuff is a result of a spell used on Linnie to cause her flame to get bigger. Hmmm...the plot thickens. I can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you and sorry for such a late response. Yep.. the green stuff is going to keep showing up and I hope when it's finally revealed it will make sense. The next chapter has been sent to my beta, so it shouldn't be much longer. Thanks again for reviewing!
