You should see the grin on my face, it's round about a mile wide!

minnow_53 August 7 2007, 17:06:02 UTC

I'm glad to hear it! :) Thank you!

i love you so much for this, Minnow. well, i think i might have loved you before for other things. [non-committal all the way, baby! ;P] but omg this is ridiculously brilliant!

and, for whatever reason or simply because it's 4.30 am, this -

REMUS: Oh, oh, I transformed and now I’m sick.

MADAM POMFREY: God will cure you.

REMUS: [dies]

- made me laugh so hard. i can't even tell you why. XD

in conclusion: ♥♥

♥ ♥ to you too! :) That's really lovely of you, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. That part was actually the starting-point for the fic, or whatever you'd call it, but it got shuffled down so people wouldn't think the whole thing was written as a play!

You are bloody brilliant!

minnow_53 August 7 2007, 17:09:28 UTC

Yay! Thank you very much! :) I shall show my family this comment... :D

*shakes head* Oh Minnow. Only you. :)

Most delightful.

minnow_53 August 7 2007, 17:10:22 UTC

I'm not quite sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing! :D But I'm really delighted you enjoyed it: thank you very much! :)

You are awesome. And I'm not just saying that because I've been awake all night writing Remus/Hermione, and really should be asleep now. This is funny as hell! Encore!

minnow_53 August 7 2007, 17:12:26 UTC

*blushes* Thank you very much! :) I'll look forward to the Remus/Hermione.

I've actually got a whole page of outtakes, including a section about the Irish, so maybe this really will be followed up at some point. :D

Yay! *looks forward*

On a more serious note, I wanted to mention something that once of my other favourite authors of juvenile fantasy, Tamora Pierce, often says. She tends to include gay characters very subtly in her books, but when asked about them, she does not deny that they are. [paraphrasing] "I just don't want to focus on them. They're in the world, but the story's not about that." I *heart* her some much....
