Hi there! Not sure you remember me, but I just read this and remembered why I loved your writing so much. This was beautifully written, just the right amount of angst and of course a lovely ending.
Take care!

Author Feedback: Hi Betsy! Of course I remember you dear - hope you're well! Anyways, glad you enjoyed this - it popped into my head on hearing that song and I enjoyed writing it down. Sorry it's taken so long to reply - I'm flat out to a truly ridiculous extent at the moment and am just taking ten minutes while I have my last cup of tea before  to duck into good old Portkey and here you were! Hope to "see" you around the PK traps again!
Take care!
Cheers,
Janie |

Very interesting! I liked how it was from Harry's point of view. His musing on how he and Hermione both lost the Weasleys was sad; I always hope that they'd be big-hearted enough to love Harry and Hermione anyway. Harry's doubts were perfectly in character, and made me ache for him. The bit about Ron being successful was good, and the end was great. I enjoyed Hermione looking at Ron, smiling at him, and then going with Harry and making it clear by wrapping her arm in his; the regret in Ron's gaze was also great. |
Author Feedback: Thank you very much - that was a really good review to read! I'm actually envious - while I love to write stories, I don't feel as though I can write reviews to do other's stories justice! Anways, thanks again, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers,

Hi Janie
Well it's almost time for my trip, trying to go to bed, sleep a few hours and hit the road. I'm meeting up with the group at 10.00 and were camping at the beach that night. Riding I guess 40 or 50 miles a day. I'll be back on Sunday so try to "talk" to you then.
Off to petal and puke...well hopefully not the second
bye and good night

Author Feedback: *Janie's doing a LOOOOONG happy dance!!*
Guess what???!!!! I just got my WOMBAT 3 result: Outstanding!!!!!
"I should be a witch, I should be a witch, I should be a witch..."
OK. My excitement has now evaporated somewhat (but not entirely). I've printed off my WOMBAT certificate and blu-tacked it up on the thingy over the cook top (temporary home only until I have to cook again and turn on the whatchamacallit).
*Janie hums under her breath*
Probably gonna begin posting that pesky story by next weekend...PESKY.
Cheers,
Janie xoxoxo

awwee i liked it .. it was cute.. but kinda slow getting to the point |
Author Feedback: Thank you so much! But you know, I had a real giggle at the "kinda slow getting to the point" only because, at 2,041 words, it's the shortest thing I've ever written!!! Sorry - but I am still really glad you liked it and took the time to review!
Cheers,

This has a nice touch to it, usually not a great fan on song fics but I liked this one. One small criticism, not sure if it's just my eyes or my monitor, but the light grey on white is a bit difficult to read, much easier with black on white. |
Author Feedback: Thank you very much for your kind words - and it's not your eyes or your monitor - it was grey and I'm damned if I know why!!! I've posted myriad chapters/fics and NEVER had that happen before!!! I'm really sorry about that - I always check my fics afer I've uploaded them to make sure they're okay and I nearly went cross-eyed whilst fuming at the light grey text!!
Still, thanks again for persevering despite the "bad reception"!
Cheers,

Hi Janie
I'm so glad you liked Pirates!! I'll rave more tomorrow abot what I liked about it but it's late so I'll just tell you about the last sceane. Turns out your Hubby was right! [Smart man] after the credits the screen says "10 years later" and you see a young boy quietly singing "A pirates life for me" and Elizabeth leads him to a cliff edge where they see a flash of green over the sun setting on the ocean and the Flying Dutchman appears with a very Piratey Will at the Helm. *Sigh* so beautiful and romantic! But it seemed so bitter sweet, I thought [as did many others] they would get this one day together and he would be gone for another 10[made me sniff abit it did. What the writers explained online was there were more bits telling you that because Lizz was faithful and waiting for him, the curse broken and he was returned to life! [much more sighing and sniffing]
The other thing that bummed me a bit was they left her all pregnant and barefooted, nothing against her being a mum, but it did seem to leave her out of any possible sequels [though at this point Keira does seem like the least likely to come back if Pirates 4 ever happens] But the writers were "Duh! you don't think Jack stayed in that rowboat for the next 10 years, you didn't see her give up being the Pirate King did you?" So thats so cool thinking of her adventures even if she does have will the 3rd in tow
And that kicked so much @$$ that she became Pirate King!! "Go Keira, go Keira"
As usual the  ies are a calling!
nighty-night

Hello again!!
Just wondering, did you stay to the very end of Pirates? Past the credits? Because there is a last sceane there thats pretty important, but alot of people apparently misinterpeted [myself included] because of some stuff that was cut from the movie and the writers on some forums cleared up. So let me know if you saw that and what you thought.
Til'then.
Cheers,
Capt'n Timbo |
Author Feedback: G'day Capt'n Shiver-me-Timbo!
Haven't checked the emails yet - but I will. I LOVED  Pirates!!!! I thought it was better than 2 actually - it just had so much in it!! I was going cross-eyed trying to keep up with everything!
No!!!  I didn't stay past the credits - I usually do if I can but that hubby of mine always wants to leave as soon as the lights come up, dang nabbit. You'll have to tell me what I missed!!!!
OK, off to check emails....and ooooohhh - what's it gonna be?? A bike ride or Pirates???
And boy, is Orlando blooming....phew....must be the pirate coming out in Will Turner...
Cheers dear!

Hi yah, Janie!
Got your E-mail and even wrote back, but I thought I'd leave a review here in case you look here first.
Can't wait for you to see Pirates and tell me what you thought, Hopefully you loved it as much as I did. Slight chance I'll see it a third time tonight, but I got lots to do for my bike tour so probable not. Like 26 days for the "Order" movie and 34 for the last book, I may be more scared then excited.
Arrrrrh must go bike to ride.

That was a lovely little tid bit of a story - I'm glad you took a break to write it down (even though I have a hard time with thought of Hermione "loving him for so long" in terms of Ron  ). Well done. |
Author Feedback: Hi there! Glad you liked it - and yeah, Hermione loving Ron like that...well, it just fitted in with the whole angsty theme of the song - but as always, our clever Hermione realised Harry is where her heart will find it's happiest home!
Thanks so much for reviewing - always lovely to see familiar names!

I got CHILLS!!!  This is beautiful, Janie! This was subtle and well done. That moment where Harry thinks his fears are justified is heart-stopping! I think it added to the richness of the emotions to have Hermione actually not sure herself until she sees Ron. That gives credence to Harry's previous fears, so that they're not just a simple case of insecurity. However, of course we have our wonderful ending, with our favorite couple intact!  I also like how you always manage to make Ron sympathetic in some way.
Great job! I've been looking forward to reading this all day! I can't wait for SN now!
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Author Feedback: Hi sweetie!!!!  Thank you so much for your lovely, lovely review - they're always so beautifully eloquent! And of course, I could never end with anything but our darling Harry and Hermione together!
Will be getting back to you soon!!

That was awesome! I felt the tinsyest best sorry for Ron but it didn't last very long...  Great one-shot! |
Author Feedback: I felt the tiniest bit sorry for Ron too - but I was too happy for Harry and Hermione for it to last long, too!  Mind you, I actually like Ron - and Ginny - it's not their fault JKR gave 'em the wrong partners!! So that's why we write fan fics - to "fix" JKR's "mistakes"!!  Anyways, thanks for the review!
Cheers,
Janie |

**lil worm claps her hands in delight**  Oh wow! i almost fell of my chair when i saw your name on the new and updated. Whoopee!!!a new fic from you... what a very lovely welcome-back-to-school present is this?! *laughs*
love it. as usual... it was a little surprising that you've written a song fic but i still like-no, LOVE!- it!  i was really uncertain at first on how you're planning to end the story (it took me a whole lot of discipline not to scroll down the page!  ) but then, i know that you will never let us down... and you didn't! i love it how "HE" was feeling insecure and stuffs... i think it's my 1st time to read an hhr story where "He's" unsure if she really loves him and stuff (seems like i've been using the phrase "and stuffs" a lot, eh?  )
anyways, i cant wait for your next story! is still growing???  im sure that "sorcerror's nook" will be awesome!!!
Cheers!

**blows kiss and waves bu-bye!** |
Author Feedback: Hi lil'worm!!  "Blows kisses back" Glad you didn't actually fall off your chair - you've might've bruised your you-know-what!  Oooh, so I had you wondering about the ending, eh??? Good!! And you controlled that impulse to scroll down - well done!  And oh yeah - that Sorcerers' Nook is growing! I hope it's as good as you're anticipating!
Till soon - work hard at school!

Definitely a short, but powerfully poignant, story. The only nit I could find to pick is that it shows up in a light gray font that's annoy on the eyes to read. |
Author Feedback: Thank you very much! And yes I very much like that: "powerfully poignant" - thank you. And yeah, that light grey font - what the???!!!! I have no idea how that happened or whether I'm responsible or not!! It's never happened to me before (and I've posted a LOT of chapters!) and I sure as hell hope hit doesn't again - I agree, it's annoying to read (except at night time, it's easier, I've noticed...  )
Thanks again!
Cheers,

This was really interesting. Great job at this. I thought that it was very well done. I liked it. I want to know why Hermione left Ron (I mean obviously it was for Harry) but what was teh backstory behind it..well whatever. |
Author Feedback: Hi there! And thank you for your very kind words about my story! Hmmm....why did Hermione leave Ron? I did think about that myself, but since there was nothing in the song about it, I skipped it...but a back story, eh? I'll definitely write it if a good enough idea comes to me!
Thanks again for the review!
Cheers,
Janie |
