Like many proud alumni of the honorable Hufflepuff House, ApollinaV is a rabbid Huffle-hugger, champion pear-tickler, and founding member of Cleansweep-Streakers Guild (the AV-Eyeful is so named in her honor). Since graduating Hogwarts, she done 'responsible' and 'professional' things - and resolves not to do that anymore. Dreadful amounts of paperwork.

I recognize our Severus here. Slytherin once, Slytherin forever, and it's especially correct for him. I wonder what his demands will be like.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of The Gilded Cage)
Everyone always wonders about his demands. I hope they hold up to the anticipation. Thanks for reading and reviewing. AV
oh-kaaay, now that's going to be interesting...
Response from ApollinaV (Author of The Gilded Cage)
It's definitely different. But I think different is good, and hopefully you'll agree. AV
Very interesting take on the Marriage Law! I like Snape, he's a real heel. Hermione's not exactly a picnic either, is she? Great story, I look forward to seeing where these two go.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of The Gilded Cage)
Oh yes, those two are just fantastic together. And personally, I like my Hermione just a tad brassy. I'm thrilled you are enjoying it. AV
Yours is an excellent story. I love the plot, the dialogues and the whole idea of a relationship between those two mandated by strong temperaments. Thank you for sharing!
Response from ApollinaV (Author of The Gilded Cage)
Great. I love strong temperments. Severus wouldn't be himself if he didn't have teeth and Hermione is a take-charge kinda gal. I'm glad you like the approach. I hope it continues to deliver. AV
I think this is fabulous! and the fact that you have a bit of genetics tossed in delights me no end!
Response from ApollinaV (Author of The Gilded Cage)
Oh that's much more of a general response to the fics that drag on and on about his/her eyes being so special. Or his eyes as 'black as midnight.' I just had to point out that genentically that's not possible, even if everything can get explained away by 'magic!' I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. AV
Excellent (rubs hands). This looks like a fun one! I am looking forward to Snape's response.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of The Gilded Cage)
Oh yes, I'm hoping it will be fun. And angsty. With plenty of snark on the side. I hope it meets and exceeds expectations. AV
‘wonderful gifts and prizes’ for popping out more. cute! you have a great sense of humor, and I look forward to more!
Response from ApollinaV (Author of The Gilded Cage)
And why not wonderful gifts and prizes? It seems to me if you're bearing children for the state, there ought to be a bit more than a token 'gee thanks' but sadly it'll probably be an atta-boy. I'm glad you find the humor in it, AV
I'm excited to see how the story is progressing. I'm definitely waiting on pins and needles for the next chapter.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of The Gilded Cage)
Oh yes, I can't wait to post more either. It posts as fast as the queue can carry it. AV
I have been following this story on fanfiction.net and I am most excited to see you are posting it here!
Response from ApollinaV (Author of The Gilded Cage)
Thanks! I started posting it on other archives when I realized I had a 'hit' on my hands. I'm excited to post to TPP so many fantastically good fics are here. AV
I'm enjoying this story and can't wait to see what demands Severus comes up.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of The Gilded Cage)
You expect him to be devious, eh? I'm counting on it myself. I hope it's up to snuff for you. Thanks for reading/reviewing, AV
I've been reading this on AFF and have fallen in love with your writting style. It's witty and poignant and flows so well.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of The Gilded Cage)
Thanks. I try. I figured I'd post to other archives when I saw how well received it had become. AV
