The Dark Lord has fallen, but an even more terrible force has arisen to take over the Ministry of Magic – the Pink Lord.

Unexpectedly, Hermione Granger joins the resistance, the sarcastically snarky Back in Black. Award winner.

I am a longtime fanfic fanatic, having entered the realm via Buffydom.  One day I read a Willow/Severus crossover and I was hooked – on Snape that is!  He's been in every HP story I've done so far.

I write in multiple fandoms on LJ, esp. BtVS and Firefly. If you're interested in reading my fic for other/crossover fandoms, it can be found at:

I have to admit, I started reading out of a pitiful inability to sleep/find updates on WIPs that had already hooked me.  After a rough day trying to update my computer's security programs, I needed something fun.  This is it!  Thank you!  Combining the Twins and Lee AND Snape and Hermione, it's just--mind boggling!  I can't wait to see what's next!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you enjoyed the chapter and found it fun!

Awesome story! Delivering th whole decrete 309 must have left you with a vacous mind for at least 45 minutes!! Love it. Every piece of it! More please?

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you enjoyed the chapter and the decree!  (laughs)

I just love the setup for the Snape/Hermione relationship and the way that Back in Black (BiB? ) recruits new members.    It's such an enjoyable read!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you enjoyed the chapter and the sign thingy!

Now you've done it!  I have a smile on my face that far exceeds Proper

Will there be reference to the correct amount of grip suitable when throttling Umbridge and her minions?

 There should be, but this group's a bit of an anarchy!

Stencils for smiles, reconditioning camps and proper shades of grey, what a truly nightmarish existence.  I'm surprised that any variation of grey is allowed at all.Another funny and interesting chapter.  I enjoyed the inclusion of Lee and the twist with the sign.  Looks like Hermione is in for one wild ride.Viva La Resistance!!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you liked the chapter and the details I've come up with so far!

Black!  Black!  Black!

Ah, a romance is brewing?  This is really funny in a totally horrifying way.

Well, I wrote something for the first chapter but I do have to save you from Thinking Pink, so I'll write again.  Please don't tell us what being Pinked actually entails -- it will give us nightmares.  So where are the centaurs when you need them?

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you liked the chapter and reviewed again!  No - I'll not give really gory details of Pinking.

Poor Hermione is confused.......will she overthrow the government dressed as Severus?Or, do you have something else in mind? Impressive, most impressive.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you liked the chapter!  We'll see on the dressing!

I feel suddenly inspired to wear charcoal grey tomorrow.  Interesting charm.  It seems they do have rather a lot in common.  Curioser and curioser!

Lee Jordan is another awesome choice.

Aside from the humor, the writing was also a joy to read. The flow was perfect with the chapter just being mostly dialogue.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you liked the chapter and Lee!  Thanks for letting me know you liked th dialogue as well!

Love it, Love it ,Love it. So original and so funny - I very rarely laugh at intentionally humorous fan-fiction but you made me giddy with laughter. An absolute joy to read, I very much look forward to the next installment...

OMG I am loving this more and more.

The stencil for proper smiles, the shades of acceptable grey, pink parchment, reconditioning camps - fabulous details and I'm finding it all to be terribly amusing and terrifyingly horrible at the same time.

I'm insanely curious to see why the sign above the door was the same for both Hermione and Snape.

I just can't wait to see what is next!!! JOIN THE RESISTANCE!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you liked the chapter and all the details I tried to put in!

Ewww!  This new Ministry is even worse than I thought.  Makes me want to go all black! (or charcoal grey? teehee!)Good story, hoping to see more soon.  :)

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you liked the chapter!  As long as it's not Pink!

You are so creative.  I never would have thought of stencils for smiling practice.  I look forward to more, but please don't abandon Ladder.  I love that too, and look forward to more of those sensational rungs.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you liked the chapter and all of the details I came up with!

Ooh, this promises to be an excellent story! Big Brother in the wizarding world, mixed with Umbridge. Can't wait for more!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you enjoyed it!  Terrifying isn't she?

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 How did I ever miss this?  Brilliant!

This is jsut the type of Alice-in_wonderland Potterverse that I love to see. Everything ON its head and over the top.

Can't wait to read more. This was enthralling.

Author's Response: Thanks!  I so very glad you enjoyed it!  Although if I followed a white rabbit to get here, it was probably the one from The Holy Grail!  (grins)  More very soon!

I'm gonna have to dye my Browncoat black. :) :) Hurrah for another resistance movement to join.

This is awesome -- seriously, I'm in awe.   I can't wait to find out what's going on with that sign!!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you liked the chapter!  But don't dye the Browncoat!  Just use it as an excuse to buy a nice black one.

sshg316

Wow!  This is a truly fabulous take on that prompt! It's rare these days to something so fresh and different.  It's enough to make a fangirl squee to the heavens!

I love the Pink Lord and her decrees.  LOL  The Seriousy Serious Alarm had me in giggles, and everyone running around with their Proper Smiles and correct shades of pink was both highly amusing and very scary!

Yay for Back in Black!  As if we don't know who would head up that resistance.  :) The thought of Snape in pink, either Pink #1 or Pink #2, does two things to me:  1.  Giggle hysterically; 2.  Make me want to hurl.  LOL

Fabulous start - oh, I can't wait for more!!!  Tell me you'll be updating soon - but don't forget about Ladder!  I could seriously just squish you to death for this story!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you enjoyed it and found it original!

Yes - I'm hoping there are lots of funny things mixed in with the terrifying ideas of a dystopia.

SS in Pink!  (snickers)

Don't worry - Ladder is not fogotten - I've got the next 2 chapters back and they'll go up this week and next.

Very intriguing premise. Snape, Hermione, the Twins? Umbrige won't know what hit her...

Fabulous start! You managed to make it frightening as well as funny.Fred, George and Snape as leaders of a resistance movement - they're really desperate, arent' they? I hope there'll be more soon.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you enjoyed it!  Yes - I'm trying to walk a line between dystopia and humor.  Ah - but who better to drive her 'round the bend?

DoctorQ

Fabulous! So creative and funny, I actully snorted out loud. Am I the only one who could hear the opening chords of an AC/DC song in my head at the end of the chapter? Can't wait to read more, rock on!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you enjoyed it!  "I'm Back in Black!"  (snicker)
