Reviews for Getting the Best of the Gloomilows

Mikimoto2018.04.11 - 02:18PM14: What Dreams May ComeSigned
I was thinking about your story and your comment about your use of English is maybe not typical. In the story, you use the term "yesterday night" instead of the more common "last night." "Yesterday" is over; it is done and gone. You can't live there (anymore than you can live in tomorrow). You can only live in the "now." Yet when Hermione dreams, "yesterday" tells her "I am the now and you must live this torture." And she is stuck with yesterday masquerading as now. But with this particular nightmare, she is able to walk away from the masquerade to what really is her now -- spending time with Severus who makes her feel safe and secure. She was able to leave yesterday in yesterday. My point is that I applaud your word choice. It may not be typical English but it is far more evocative of the situation.

Author's Response: I would gladly accept the compliment, but if I did, I'd feel like a fraud. The simple truth is that I was totally unaware of this distinction. In German, we use 'last night' or 'yesterday night', it doesn't make a difference. To be totally honest, the deeper meaning you suspect behind my word choice is pure coincidence. Usually, my dear beta points out such weird word choices to me, but since I can't ever go over a chapter without adding or changing something, there are sentences in there that have never been beta-ed. I'm happy that at least in this case, my error was 'a good one' , so to speak. :)

Wow. In your author's note it sounds like the plot bunnies have really been biting you. It is great to hear your imagination is all fired up. I really like this chapter. Your description of the nightmare is excellent -- exactly how it feels in a nightmare. I also like how you show the Struggle of Severus trying to keep things friendly/professional when he knows he wants more and can't have it. But soon the year will end and all bets are off! Thanks so much for sharing.

Author's Response: Yes, they really did, and I enjoy being bitten so much! Too bad that real life sometimes gets in the way and I can't spend all my hours writing. :) Before the year ends, we'll get to see a lot more intimacy, though not quite the physical kind... Severus will be in for a wild ride, emotionwise, in the chapters to come. Hope you'll enjoy them, too! Thank you so much for reviewing!

I look forward to every update!

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm aiming for weekly :) But every review is fueling my willingness to edit another chapter :)

I can't stop reading this! I love it, how thoughtful and insightful it is, skirting on the edges of cannon with so much new, plausible information inserted... gah! I am not above begging so PLEASE UPDATE! KUDOS AND ALL MY LOVE! xx Akira

Author's Response: Wow - thank you for your lovely review! I'm always happy to hear when a reader tells me he loved the story. I have updated already, but it sometimes takes a couple of days for the new chapter to be 'released' by the admins of the site. Shouldn't be that much longer now. Thanks for reading!

Awwww, I thought it was a new chapter, but "Family Matters" is posted twice...

Author's Response: Oh no! Really? What did I do? I'll look into it immediatly and post the new chapter. Sorry about that!!!

Thank you for the update. I hope Severus can mend things with his Prince family before they die. No use adding regret into the emotional soup he already has for them.

Author's Response: Thank you for your comment! I can assure that by the end of the story (or rather the two epilogues) Severus will not be a lonely man anymore :)

A lovely chapter! It was wonderful to see their conversation be so positive and more intimate. With Christmas coming, perhaps there will be a chance for even the tiniest bit of romance, hmm? Thank you for the update!

Author's Response: Actually, there never used to be a Christmas chapter in this story - I skipped it. But I have started writing one when the story was finished, and as always when I start writing 'a chapter' it ends up being an entire story of its own. So eventually, there will be a fluffy Christmas story to go with it. :) I have about six chapters (and a stand- alone story about Harry and Severus as excerpt) already. Hopefully, I'll get it finished in time for Christmas this year. But romance will be coming, anyway. Promise! Thanks for your review!

This fic is amazing! I have been looking for a properly good one for so long! However, I didn't notice that it was not completed when I started reading and am not copping well with the suspense. I need the next part!!!

Author's Response: It is finished! I just like having at least two reviews before I post the next chapters, just so that I know that there are still people out there who are actually following it. :) As with your kind review, I now have those two, I just posted the next chapter. It might take a couple of hours before it appears, as it must be approved by the admins. Thank you for your comment and compliments!
