It took me only the better part of two months before figuring out why it bothers/bothered me so much that readers labeled those two stories with “rape”. (Well, not all did ;-) It is simple, really: there is no rape here because I didn’t write them like that, and it wouldn't matter if the roles were reversed. My intention was sexual pleasure for both of them, a bit of cheekyness and boldness from Hermione’s side and simple joy for Snape. Had I intended rape (as I did, for example, in my story “Obliviate”), I would have written the scenes differently and there wouldn’t have been any doubt that there is no consent. But Snape, in his dreams, wants her as much as she wants him, and that, IMO, is all that counts. He might not have been able to say, “Yes, take me,” but he would have (after a moment of hesitation) had he been awake, simply because he’s lonely and aroused and she hungry and lovely and more than willing. No love - just lust, which occasionally, is much more stronger than more noble emotions

Hi, there,
thank you so much for your detailed research and for bothering to answer my question! It is very helpful to get answers on questions like that, especially because I couldn't ask all the different types of men out there myself ;-) Good rape - well, only a man could come up with such nonsens. There is nothing like good rape, as rape in itself is a cruel act and has, in fact, nothing to do with sexuality or erotic. I do understand, though, what your guys meant, and am glad they considere Hermione's actions that way. I would have loved to be there! Listening to that discussion would have been great. Thanks again, and also on the deflowering the virgin part. I didn't think of it at the time I wrote the story; should I ever walk that path again, I will give it a better thought. Best and hugs from Germany, merry Christmas, sam/chivalric

Looks like Professor Snape was right when he declared Hermione Granger an insufferable know-it-all. This week's theme at quiz_sshg features Hermione in careers other than those we've done individual quizzes on. The girl has talent! Your story, The Petulant Poetess, is featured as quote #2.

Hi, there,
thanks for the banner and putting one of my stories onto the quiz. And sorry for having to say no to the SS/HG exchange. For one, I'm not really into SS/HG anymore (slash being more to my liking nowadays ;-) and second, RL is a bit demanding right now. Dreamy already tried to persuade me, and I seriously considered it, but well, my stories tend to lack practically everything if I cannot give them my full attention. Thanks for asking, though!
We've had review "chit-chats" in both of our fic comments. And it seems like we know each other from somewhere else, but I can't recall. My author name is Nom de Plume.

This week the theme is Voldemort wins. We are using Life and Death of Lord Voldemort as a red herring to fool the fangirls. Here is a banner for you http://pics.livejournal.com/morethansirius/pic/0002a93y/g48
