Reviews for The Belladonna Day
It's amazing how you managed to accomplish so much in just one chapter! Rich in detail, plot and romance and wonderfully written to boot! Absolutely lovely.
That was really nice! *****
This is my favorite SS/HG story. It's so lovely and emotional. It almost makes me cry. 
Response from ladypod (Author of The Belladonna Day)
Thank you very much! With so many terrific SS/HG stories out there, that's a really wonderful compliment. I'm very glad you enjoyed it so much.
This is sweet and I liked the pacing. it seemed to build nicely to the magical spell of the thousand flowers. I liked the bella donna motif and i think the sort of lazy sensual style reflected what I imagine belladonna must be like as a drug -- slow, heavy and sensual. My one criticism is a dramatic rather than a literary one: there was seemingly no conflict other than the very minor and self-correcting one perhaps of her being his student or too young or something. i like that you introduced severus's doubts about her returned feelings but they did not seem like very strong doubts. I think that had they suffered more or had they had to hope more the very beautiful climax could have been a bit more meaningful. But then I'm a drama major with way too much experience with crap like shakespeare and those damn greeks and its not like writing has to be that way or anything. i liked your story. Thanks for writing.

Okay, I'm a jerk--responding to my own review-- but I just saw that this is your only fic on the PP and wow! i hope you write more.

Thank you very much for both your praise and criticism. As you noticed, this is my only story so I really appreciate feedback, critical or otherwise! If I write another, I hope you'll give me feedback on that story as well. I'm hoping a plot bunny starts to nibble on me.
This was like hot chocolate going down. It was easy but intense. Soothing and just the right length. Very nice.
Oh gosh, that's so sweet! The two years of simmering tension...lovely! Well done!

I love Fluff and I love this story.
Response from ladypod (Author of The Belladonna Day)
Thank you! I little fluff is good for the soul.
Great story. Like the style and the analogies. Thank you for writing something that's like reading chocolate (and the good kind, mind you, which envelops you with warmth :)
Response from ladypod (Author of The Belladonna Day)
Thank you. What a great analogy!
That was lovely, like a fairy tale.
Response from ladypod (Author of The Belladonna Day)
Thank you. The fairy tale feeling what what I was trying to acheive. I'm glad to hear I hit the mark.
Romantic story!...had I read this 5 years ago- I might have named my twins Bella & Donna!! 
Response from ladypod (Author of The Belladonna Day)
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
Most excellent! Looking forward to your next story.Keep up the great work.
Response from ladypod (Author of The Belladonna Day)
Glad you liked it. My next story...hmmm....waiting for a plot bunny to bite.
This is spooky. I tripped onto this story by accident and was drawn to it simply by the title. You see, I carried belladonna in my wedding bouqet. I printed this one out, and I'm putting it in the wedding album. If only Gerard and I have this kind of happiness!Oh and BTW, it was an amazing story, if you haven't already figured out I adored it! Many thanks for such a serendiptuous gift! ~The Mistress
Response from ladypod (Author of The Belladonna Day)
Oh wow! Thank you! This is by far the most personal and touching review anyone has given this story. I really appreciate it. I hope you and Gerald enjoy your own "living dream".
Good story. Your flow and spacing was just perfect.
Response from ladypod (Author of The Belladonna Day)
Thank you very much. This is the first fiction I have ever written. Your compliment goes a long way towards making me want to write more.
