my catalyst into the world of hp fanfic was the ignominious death of severus snape by snakebite in dh. grrrrr. he deserved better, and i set off on a mission to find it! i appreciate and admire the vast and limitless creativity of all of the wonderful writers on this site and in this fandom.
accordingly, for me it's mostly about snape: ss/le, ss/hg, ss/rl are my favorite ships. i especially like happy endings for those who did not get them at the hands of jkr.
Reviews for In the Staff Room
Naaww, how cute! It really was a fun read, great! I really had to chuckle when Severus mentioned Trelawney! *lol* You really made the Snupin-pairing quite readable to me! ;)
Response from kittylefish (Author of In the Staff Room)
it's always a great pleasure to hear that i've made the snupin-pairing work for somebody who is not normally that way inclined. :Dthank you so much for all the reading and reviewing. you gave me another great big grin when i saw all these review alerts in my email. :D
Remus is so HOT..XXXXXXXX LOVE HIM. Thanks for this although it gets the blood pumping for more ,Idon't think it really needs to be written further,Ijust hope they fall in love and stay together.
Response from kittylefish (Author of In the Staff Room)
oh, yes, they fall in love and stay together, and live happily ever after in my au. thanks so much for the review and the stars! :D
Oh, wonderful story! There's so many things to like here.I especially love how you keep these two in character and still manage to bring them together in a very sexy way. Guh!Very well written too!:)
Response from kittylefish (Author of In the Staff Room)
thanks so much! yay! i'm so glad you enjoyed it. it seems to be my lot in life to keep finding ways to get these two together in spite of themselves. it's always so much fun when it works. :D
It never ceases to amaze me how the writing skills of some authors are able to sway me to liking SS with just about anyone! I would normally avoid SS/RL like the plague but this was just too good to ignore! I loved the slow 'build up' & how you managed to keep both Severus and Remus in character. This is a skillful and beautifully written piece - well done; I loved it! :-)
Response from kittylefish (Author of In the Staff Room)
thank you so much for reading my story, and especially for this lovely review! i'm always tickled when people say that i've helped them to fall for snupin, even a little bit. it's actually one of my favorite pairings to write. :)and i can totally relate to what you say - that was me and ss/hg. i totally blame/credit subversa's amazing writing for luring me onto that ship.
Loved the story - it's sweet, it's very in character, and besides, I think there aren't enought Snupins out there anyway. Well done, my dear!
Response from kittylefish (Author of In the Staff Room)
thank you so much for the review and the stars. and especially for your comments, which definitely helped to make it a better story.and i agree - need more snupin!
I am here by way of a rec on Pajamapants' LJ.
You made me like Lupin! How unusual! I liked Severus hidden vulnerablity. OH your tease you stopped before they got naked! Foul I cry foul!!! 
Response from kittylefish (Author of In the Staff Room)
thanks for your lovely review! i love unearthing severus's hidden vulnerability. i'm especially delighted you liked my lupin. and - sorry to leave you hanging. i guess it was a little bratty of me. :D

Just lovely. The characterizations are, I think, spot on. Can I have a Honeydukes truffle? :D

Chocolate. Would work for me too! Brilliant story, kitty dear! :)
Response from kittylefish (Author of In the Staff Room)
mm hmm, i respond very well to chocolate, myself. thanks so much, sunny! :D
i love that even with a relatively short story you were able to build up a lot of tension and cover a lot of time. this was incredibly well crafted!
Response from kittylefish (Author of In the Staff Room)
thanks so much! 'incredibly well crafted' - *beams* this was the first thing i ever wrote for a challenge at lupin_snape on lj, so i really wanted to do a good job. glad you think i managed it. :D
