Reviews For When the Boat Comes In
Author's Response: Thanks ^^. Reggie is a typical Python-type snake; very sweet, affectionate and gentle. I've made him especially outgoing to compliment Harry, who is quite a shy boy. However, for Hedwig, this is a bit of a headache lol! However, she gets some good news soon.
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm really glad that you're enjoying it. Urobrus is one of my favourite inventions; it's such a calm, natural, well-loved house.
An excellent start - I just know I'll love where you went with this. Men aren't the only ones capable of cruelty, after all. Women can be just as cruel, sometimes even moreso. And now, I'm eagerly off to see what happens next... Wonderfully writ, so far! ^^ Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm really glad you've enjoyed the first chapter and grateful for the review; it really means a lot to me when people do :) I hope you continue to enjoy the story.
Wonderful story, by the way. Author's Response: Thanks ^^ glad you enjoyed it
I'm glad you've mad so many people glad with this story but the frequent updates, but your Order of the Pegasus was what first attracted me to your writting Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Harry becomes depressed at this time because a. he has been taught to loathe himself and b. as he is no longer in fear of punishment, his wounded psyche decides to 'punish' itself. As I got more involved with writing 'WBCI', I developed writers-block for OotPegasus and, as the latter has a very complex plot, I decided that it'd be better to wait until I could do a good job then struggle through the block before I'd got everything ordered in my mind. However, I'm in the process of writing a chapter at the moment. I'm really sorry for the delay and I'm glad you enjoyed reading the story Author's Response: Thanks for the review.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review. That's the problem with the Bible: half of it's missing and the other half is often ambiguously phrased, leading to mistranslations. However, the Magical Population would take the modern translation at face value: just because their persecutors might have been mistaken, that doesn't make the brutal, sadistic murder of millions of muggles (and a number of mages- see JKR's book on Beedle the Bard) permissable. Besides the Old Testiment is worrying enough: Exodus: 22:18, 23:24, 31:14, Leviticus: 18:22, 20:13, 20:27, 20:16-23, 25:44-46, Genesis: 3:16, Acts: 3:23, Romans: 1:26-28, 1:31-32, 16:17, Corinthians: 6:9-10 and Galatians: 5:20-21. P.S. I don't think James I (who lived in the 16th Century) was the first to mistranslate the Bible; in the Holy Roman Emporor Charlemagne's time (Eighth Century), witch-hunting was such a problem that he legislated that anyone who accused or killed a person on the grounds that they were a witch would suffer the same penalty as witches. It was a pretty good policy; once a couple of witch-hunters/accusers are put to death, the number of 'witches' decreases dramatically lol!
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm really glad you enjoyed it :) Some people have already nominated WBCI for featured status so here's hoping!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review; I'm really glad you liked the epilogue- I wanted to leave the story on a high note, despite the tragedy. (Also I thought a little 'snapshots' style epilogue would echo the first chapter nicely.) I'm happy the description of Severus sounded right; I didn't want to over-do it but, I thought, showing Harry that, in adopting him, Severus' life had also changed for the better was a good way to finish :)
Author's Response: Thanks: Peter Pettigrew's death was one of the events that I'd planned from almost the very beginning and I'm really glad it was well recieved. He lived like a rat and died like a rat ;)
The way that you portray Parseltongue is really good, i like that the snakes have their own sayings. I cant wait for the next installment. Author's Response: Thanks for the reveiw. I really enjoyed writing the Parseltongue so I'm glad so many people seem to like my portrayal of it :) |
