ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I absolutely love it! I stumbled upon it in a review you left for Chary on ff.n, of all places, and as soon as I started reading I was hooked! I was a little hesitant about the whole goddess idea at first, but you definitely smashed those doubts into oblivion...can't wait for an update!
Whoo Hoo! That was awesome!!! I'm glad you'll be freed up to write more. Can't wait to see where all of this goes:)
I'm usually... well, almost always a SS/HG shipper, but I must admit I really like your OC. You fleshed her out so well and Severus was just so snarky and so himself, it was great. I read all 42 chapters in one go (chapters 41 and 42 are out of order btw) and the writing was great, very mesmerizing. Can't wait for the next update. Cheers, amy Sabian1110@yahoo.com
You all are a bunch of horny women!! snicker-snort*. your point being....
I don't like Olivia very much because of her "love me or look the other way" attitude. HOWEVER... "It means," Olivia grinned. "That they don't do anything! They don't make you spit green fire, leak smoke from the ears, levitate, or fart God Save the Queen! They just lay there in their little brown, crinkle wrappers and politely wait for you to eat them. Just think Severus, a sweet you don't have to chase down and tackle! I ordered them from a catalogue. Here, try one." has me in stitches!
I happen to agree that technique is more gripping than physical beauty.
I've been reading this story from way back at FF.N. Dying for an update!
Thanks Sdlee!! I appreciate the pointer. I was totally unaware of the glitch. Thanks loads.
I'm really enjoying this story, but is the chapter before this one missing? We go from her telling him he's the champion, to her tearing the room apart and being spanked....what did I miss? Great story though!
Saw your note at ff.net about deleting there and moving here for good and from what I've read at LnLS lately about ff.net, it sounds like a really good idea. One problem with only having it here is that a lot of the LnLS fans don't come review here that often, so you might want to drop a note in the message room every once in a while - so having it at aff as well is a good idea, in my opinion. However, when I found this story in the Hogwarts Bod., I read as much as I could figure out in those nasty file folders, then I read what you posted here, then you sent me to ff.net and I read the rest in one sitting. I was getting really sucked in and then there was nothing for the longest time and I think I have forgotten the plot among everything else I am reading and will have to go back and scan or I'll loose the story. Anyway, if taking it off ff.net means that updates take even longer past chapter 41 I vote BIG NO. Otherwise, I am hoping that the rating goes higher into territory that will get you booted off ff.net anyway. You go girl! LOL Estrilda
'The Calvary is coming.' I know it's not what you meant, but it's an interesting image. After all, when you can't bring Mahomet to the mountain... (grin)
Hi! I remember reading this before, over (I think) at schnoogle. Glad to see it up here. But I don't remember Minerva's name being spelled wrong over there; you may want to fix it here.
You know, I stumbled on your yahoo group by accident. Completely and totally. And after going thru the posts - I thought to myself, what a neat group. But you guys are totally nuts and I feel so comfortable. Likewise - Dark Coil was perhaps the FIRST SS/OFC fic that I had read and REALLY liked. Olivia is just as realistic as they come and Snape is snarky as sin. But I like sin, so... so there! Am so glad this is here. Now, where is the rest, Madam?
Please update this next chapter these is awsome i love the story plot i see.
Of course we love you - please post more so you arrive at the ones I can't find on the HB website. Please! I'm dying here.
Author's Response: Now, don't go croaking! I am running out of places to stash the bodies! I will be posting about 6 more chappies tonight. Where did you leave off? I have 41 up on fanfiction. It is such a job to switch them from one place to the next. I will, however, stick to my guns and start swapping. Glad you like the story.
I'm so, so glad that you are posting this here. I have been reading it in the Hogwarts' Boudoir and boy is that a pain with having to be signed in and re-signing in when yahoo decides you're not signed in and then the chapters being in random order in those hard to navigate file folders. So anyway - yeah - it's here in order and accessible.
The last few minutes of dinner are -hot-! Taking a break before moving on to the next chapter ;)
I am intrigued! This is a wonderfully well-written piece, with the right hint of darkness and an original premise. Olivia is sympathetic without being burdensome, and Maxwell seems interesting indeed (saith the irrepressible adorer of homosexual men). The only possible improvement I could suggest is that Snape seems entirely too polite at the party... attributable, perhaps, to keeping Dumbledore happy and Minerva from hexing certain anatomy into oblivion. All in all, a good read; I'm glad I found it :) Can't wait for updates!
OOOHH! Your fic is here!! YAY!!
