Oh, what a wonderful story! Thank you so much!!! I have no idea who wrote this, but I loved it! There was such a mischieviously hopeful air at the end... dare I say you could write a sequel to this, and should? LOL, I'm too hopeful, aren't I?

It was a very good idea you came by; with challenging pairings like this, I always find it fascinating the ideas that people can manage to come up with on how to bring two such unlikely people together! Wonderful, I really did love it! :D

I do feel - forgive me - that this rather trailed away at the end. It feels like a larger piece trying to get out of a one shot. I hope you do develop it furhter.

????

How can you say something like that? Where do you get off insulting someone's work like this?

If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all.

I don't think Shiv's comment was intended as a flame - she clearly thought the story had potential, and the way I read the second part of her comment was that she'd be interested to see more (apologies to Shiv if I'm putting words into her mouth here).

[shiv5468]

Erm, and now I feel guilty. Because that's me as anon, flaming me as me, leaving a bad review for me as the author!

Gin made me do it. :D

[lyras]

Such an interesting idea, and you actually made me feel a smidgen of sympathy for Moody! I like your characterisation of Hermione, too, and I'd be interested to see a sequel!

[shiv5468]

I've noticed that you've gone round and commented on every single story - you're a hero for that.

I've been offering ficlets to anyone who manages to spot me amongst this lot - I'm a devil for delivering late, but would you like one too?

Er, no Lupin though. Well unless you like him dead.

[lyras]

I haven't managed every single story, but I have had a good go! I just really wanted this exchange to be a success, and I've been rewarded with some great fic that I'd never normally have made time to read.

And a ficlet would be lovely, thank you! Er, do you do Snape? Something with post-HBP Snape would be perfect.

And I thought I had your fic pegged absolutely, until I noticed that you'd left feedback for it, so I discounted you. And then I just saw on your journal that you might've left feedback to put people off the scent. Bah!

Never Trust a Shiv :)

I really liked this one. And actually, I'm fine with the way the end trails off. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it continued, but I can understand why you ended it there.

Well done. :)

[shiv5468]

It could probably do with firming up a bit towards the end, I think, but thank you.

I'd love to see you go on with this one.

Tennant / Crouch Jnr?

[shiv5468]

Erm, I shall have to decline I think.

I can't see how that would work at all.

[magically25]

That's a shame.

I was wondering whether you were picturing Tennant as Crouch Jnr.

[shiv5468]

Oh yes. That thing he does with his tongue.... mmmmmm
