I have to apologize to everyone, period. Real life swallowed me whole, as I have been struggling to make a living writing original fiction over the last 8 years. It has not been easy, & has been complicated by health issues. I hope people can forgive my long silences. Trying to make enough money to live on from writing is a lot harder--waaaay harder--than it looks. (At least I didn't leave any posted fanfics unfinished.)
Anyhoo...
These stories are works of parody (& thus are allowable under US law), and are not written for profit. Just for fun. I'm not making any money off of any fanfics, nor will I ever. I'm just playing around in other writers' universes.
...I am, however, making something of a living off my own stories. (If anyone wants to play around in my universes, you may visit my website, www.jeanjohnson.net, and look up my policy on Fanfics & Fanarts. It's reasonable enough and fairly easy to follow, too...)

This was a lovely one-shot! Really sweet, and so awesome that you chose to use the Muppet's version of A Christmas Carol (I watch it every Christmas too!).
Aww, he's crying to the Muppet Christmas carol. I almost want to laugh, but I don't think I dare lol. Nice bit of fluff to read. :)
I'd held off so long on reading this (I think it is the last one of yours that I haven't read) so I could read it over the holidays, and it was WONDERFUL! :D
I read this every christmas with out fail. Thanks for writing it
I know I have read this before, but it is well worth a revisit. I've been re-reading some ss/hg holiday fics and had to stop to say this is lovely. Thanks so much for sharing and even more thanks for still keeping all your wonderful fanfic available for all of us rabid fangurls. :)
Perfectly Fantastic story!
This was so... god, I'm all choked up. I want to tell you how good it was, but any praise I think of seems to fall short of actually describing how wonderful this story really was. I guess all I can say is, it was nothing short of one of the best Hermione/Severus shorts I have ever read!
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of A Christmas Cauldron)
I loved it because I managed to tell a story, a good story, with zero dialogue. That's bloody hard to do, and do well enough that it isn't tedious. (Then again, the short length probably helped, lol...as did the fact that Severus is an introspective character by nature.)*hugs*~Lotm(kidnapped and held ransom for the last year by plot-bunnies and house-buying elves)
I love a Muppets Christmas Carol and I'm glad Snape was so moved by it. The discription of his interaction with his daughter is very sweet. I like the way Snape and Hernione got together at the end of movie night as an anniversary to the start of their relationship. This is beautifully written and very sexy.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of A Christmas Cauldron)
Thank you. I'm particularly proud of this one because I managed to write a very good story with zero dialogue in it, too.*hugs*~Lotm
I know that I'm reading this at an entirely random time of the year, but this was wonderful in every sense of the word. I needed a nice one-shot, and this made me wish for Christmas. Lovely work!
Oh I do love this story! This may be about the third time I've read it. I enjoy immensely.
Just re-read this. Oh, how I do love this story. It is absolutely beautiful.
It is so sweet I loved it
I have always thought this story has lovely. Your stories are always brilliant. Tamara
I really enjoyed reading this wonderful romance!Beth
Awwww, what a lovely little story. ^_^I have to say, I do love your description of a "woman's" body - I've never read it described better. I feel a lot better about my post-pregnancy belly now, thanks to that. I've always wondered why my boyfriend loves my belly so much, now I know why. xxxx

I'm glad. That's why I put it in there...~Lotm
OMG! That was sooo good I loved it is so amazing to see your husband with your baby! (Im a mom) I loved reading this and picturing Snape that way. Did I say I Loved it? Great Job with the Sex one of the best I have read! You write them both very well! Roses to you LOTM! @--->--- Rain
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of A Christmas Cauldron)
I think Snape has great potential to be a good dad; he's done all he can to protect the kids in his care, after all. So why not show him being a good father?...Of course, I'm biased, clinging fervently to the notion that Snape Is Good, Dammit...~Lotm
Response from Summer Rain (Reviewer)
Don't fear, Snape is good! Well, if not in canon he can be in our world! I hope the real snape is tied up and knocked out.*dirty thought* *smiles* *runs to get black wig, husband and rope* @-->-Rain
FUCKING ASWOME GREAT DETAIL
is there more?
Beautifully written... I usually stray away from Teacher-Students pairings, but this one oddly worked well. Nice job!
I'd forgotten about this lovely story. Glad to have been reminded of it. :)
Oh WOOWWWW! I can hardly breath lafdyofthemasque! That was brilliant... I'll never watch THAT film in the same light again I thought it was brilliant!And is it me or is it hot in here?
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of A Christmas Cauldron)
Thanks, and it's not just you, it's most of us who read this sort of stuff...enjoy the hot-flash while it lasts! (Though they're more fun to endure in winter than summer, I'll admit.)~Lotm ;-D
Very sweet. And happy christmas to you, too.
Beautifully written, a truely wonderful portrayal of Snape, it was like being their watching him cry, I just wanted to reach out to comfort him it was so realistic.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of A Christmas Cauldron)
Thanks. I was striving for realism, here (and even Snape would have some sort of soft side to himself, deep down inside). I'm glad to see I succeeded. Hugs, ~Lotm
When I clicked on this, I was expecting something else, which is probably what you intended. I had expected a morose and sneering Snape somehow affected by the events of the story, or perhaps being visited himself, but this was far better! I really enjoyed it!
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of A Christmas Cauldron)
Thank you! I just couldn't do it with him as the protagonist of the story; the plot-bunny sulked and refused to hop anywhere. But this way...this way worked.~Lotm
Sweet...this piece tugs just the right heartstrings.
