| Your writing is enormously fluid and your characters singularly themselves. I am totally enjoying the plot, the characters' banter, and the flow of this nicely crafted story. A huge, delicious effort! I am really enjoying your work.
Thank you very much. Author's Response: I'm delighted by your description of the characterisation, about which I'd been having some moments of existential horror (don't ask ;). I'm also so glad that you enjoyed the story as a whole! It's nice to compose a story for onesself, but getting such kind and thoughtful feedback makes the process even more fun. Thank you so much for reviewing! | |||

| Only one quibble: I rather think a potion with a history of more than the past fifty years would require gin rather than vodka for the martini, but hey, it's an awfully cute story, so why even quibble! Author's Response: Your point is an excellent one, and not one that I'd deliberately ignored. The reason that I chose vodka over gin is because the finished Psyche Potion is supposed to taste sweet, and the addition of gin would cause distinctive juniper notes, whereas good vodka is relatively tasteless. Furthermore, though the Psyche Potion and Leuwenhoek's monograph are definitley older than fifty years, the monograph was about the addition of vodka distilled from apples, not specifically martinis. I also tried to hint at the bastard nature of vodka in martinis when Snape requested that Hermione make a "vodka martini" as opposed to a "martini." But if you ask me why Snape has her mix a martini rather than just add the apple vodka, I'd have to make something up. :D I'm glad you enjoyed the story, and thank you so much for your review and for making me think! | |||

| that's not cool. all i could think reading the end of that chapter was "no longer will our penises remain flaccid and unused!!" Author's Response: Ha! No pastry love or misuse of musical instruments in this story, but I hope you'll find it amusing nonetheless. Thanks for the review! | |||

| HERPES? Girl, have you no SHAME? I don't know when I have laughed quite so much or looked forward to chapters quite so eagerly. From beginning to end you entertained me with your wicked use of the language. Bravo, and more, please! Author's Response: I have very very little shame, and I usually stuff it into a sock drawer while writing :D I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the story, and I shall henceforth always aspire to wicked use of language! Thank you so much for your delightful reviews! | |||

| What a ride! I enjoyed reading that story so much; I laughed (H.E.R.P.E.S. indeed!) and sighed and smiled from start to finish. Hermione was delightful in her confident sexuality, Severus was perfect in his nearly unrelenting, but finally conquered sullenness, and the V-boys were just plain laugh-out-loud fun. After being engaged by the funny, hopeful beginning, I found myself swept up in the romance and inter-house intrigue and finally impressed that you took it to even deeper levels to give history to what seemed in the beginning nothing more than an amusingly spontaneous pledge. I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful little escape you've given me this evening! Author's Response: lunafish, your review has made my day, if not my entire week. I struggled while writing this story because I didn't want it to be complete fluff. Not that there's anything wrong with fluff, I just like to ground my stories in history. It adds nice contrast to my frequent silliness. Finding a way to do that (the history of the Slytherin/Gryffindor contests) made me very excited, and I'm so glad it enriched the story for you as well. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the story, and so grateful to you for your kind and thoughtful comments! | |||

| Wonderful! Brava! Medea's babysitter indeed. That got a guffaw out of me! This is absolutely fabulous, although I'm not sure I would have told the headmaster I owned 'exciting underwear.' *shudder* Anyway, I think you did a marvelous job, and I hope you write another tale soon! GG Author's Response: Well, I had to have a way for Dumbledore to bring up those earmuffs Madam Pomfrey liked so much ;) I'm so glad you enjoyed the story! Thank you so much for reviewing! | |||

| Certainly the cleverest take on this challenge I've seen, and far more interesting than the pure silliness and porn that it usually inspires--not that there's anything wrong with pure silliness and porn, but this gives the challenge some depth. I love the fact that all Snape's pain and suffering is a result of pretending to have achieved Slytherin Sybarite status when he really hasn't. And I love the fact that they both glow. My only criticism is that the ending seems a little flat, after all the build-up with the plaques. I'm not quite sure what "the weight of their discovery" represents. And I'm not sure who is supposed to have seen the romance coming. Could the last part of this chapter have been a little rushed? But it's really a lovely story, altogether. Author's Response: I agree that the ending is sudden. I've been kicking around different ways to extend it, but I haven't yet come up with an idea that passes muster. The Gryffindor/Slytherin is supposed to be a bit of a surprise, but seen in hindsight as the answer to the glowing. However, I think it's more than that, but I haven't yet figured out a way to say it. I'll think on it. If you ever revisit this story, you may find a bit more squished into the end. However, I'm very glad you enjoyed the rest! Thank you very much for your thoughtful comments! | |||
