Now for something cheerful

Okay, okay, I confess. I quietly finished the prologue of Snape Manor (CLS did her usual excellent job at beta reading) and posted it here.

It's not up at Fiction Alley or anywhere else yet (it's too short for FA and I have to finish chapter one).

Someone who'd never heard of Primer to the Dark Arts liked it. I breathe a sigh of relief.

I read it yesterday and I loved it. The reactions of the staff, and Snape's amusement with it... your characterizations are perfect.

Your amazing style shows in every detail, in every line and word of this prologue.

I LURVE the list of things Snape refrains from thinking about. I have a list like that, I think we all do.

Brilliant! More more! *begs prettily*

Eeeee!

Oooooh. It's really to early to say more than that. Ok I lied, I loved Snape's timing of his announcement. It's very a) Slytherin and b) Snapeish to want to confound the room like that.

Thank you thank you for not abandoning this story completely, I know you have reservations after OoTP came out but I just know it's going to be an interesting ride with you at the helm.

haven't read it as yet, but am |very| eager to - I absolutely adored PttDA...

Just got done with it, and am now re-reading Primer to the Dark Arts in preparation for future chapters.

Well done. I especially liked Snape's spot-on evalutations of each teacher's reactions. And, as much as I <3 Minerva, it was good to see him best her.

Looking forward to more.
