apollinav: Wow, that's unique! It seems to have a 60s flair to it, and I wouldn't be surprised to see something like that on an album cover or post from the era. It really popped off the screen, and the colors were definitely pulling me in. :)

scifichick774: I'll be honest, I nearly skipped this because of Firenze, but I was drawn in within a couple of paragraphs. I was very intrigued by the potion effects and the concept of Hermione's destiny. A little confused as to whether Firenze (and by extension, the other centaurs) expected a human to be the recipient of this destiny or if the species revelation is going to be a big surprise to them all. But I'm glad I didn't skip this out! :)

It's not a pairing I would normally choose to write, I think, but since there was a centaur in the corner, I felt he needed to be included in the storyline somehow.

I'm sorry there were parts that were confusing. In an effort to clear that up: There are several different mythos concerning centaurs. I decided to go with the one where they're all male, and therefore need human females to bear their offspring. Because the HP books make a big deal out of centaurs being so into divination, I included the element that mates might be chosen by outside forces instead of by the centaurs themselves.

*hugs*

I'm glad you decided to move past your squick factor and give it a chance. I don't know if I'll be nearly as brave for some of the fics I've seen posted.

More more more! There is never enough cenataur and Hermione, or anyone...? Lol Art work was amazing too, loved the 60's feel :)

scifichick774 September 25 2009, 03:49:28 UTC

There will be more - though when it's done I suppose I'll have to come back and post a link to it. Thank you for letting me know you liked it. :)

Oh my, where to start...

The art is wonderful. I love the way everything is woven together, especially her hair with the spirals.

The story is a perfect complement to the art. I love Hermione's snarky mental commentary. Destiny, indeed.

Isn't the art great? So colorful!

Thank you for your comments about the fic. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

*hugs* You'll get more of this one, but I doubt it will end up being a proper WIP.

Eeeeeee! I have never seen a fic with this pairing, almost didn't read it but when I saw who the author was it was a done deal.

The art was not my usual cup of tea but the colors were very striking, I spent longer looking at it than any other piece of art I've seen for the BB so far. Well done.

I am thrilled that you have added a sequel(with neekid parts I hear?) to your to do list. Let me know is the muse needs bribing.;P

The muse is fine with no bribery right now, but she's feeling a bit swamped. This time of the year is always busy fic-wise, and with RL too... yeah.

How in the world did I get suckered into writing for so many things that are all due around the same time? I need to keep a calendar for my fics, apparently.
