I'm an avid writer and reader of Harry Potter fanfiction with a tendency to write absurdly long fic (though that doesn't all get posted). HG/SS and HP/DM are my OTPs, though I've been known to dabble in a Snarry now and again.
Reviews for The Problem with Purity
I love her ability to communicate with Fawkes! Very interesting. Is Harry or Hermione one of these virgins in question?

I'm glad you're enjoying it, but I'm not going to spoil you by answering your question. ;) Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
Fascinating. I was expecting it to be Harry and Hermione, but perhaps not... *am confused* But you meant me to be, eh?
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
Yes, yes, I did. *grins* Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
LOL. Good point to end chapter with! :)
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
*grins* Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
This is very exciting and I'm really looking forward to reading more. I enjoyed the set up in the prologue (particularly "orange-proof scroll"-- sounds so wonderfully magic and scientific at the same time). And the conversation in this chapter was just fantastic. Everyone's voices were clear and true and I enjoyed the humor you threaded in. Thanks!

I'm glad you're enjoying it. I did my best to have interesting, believable details along with IC characters. Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
Grand!! Really enjoying your writing - excellent plot twists, good sustained timing with your revela, and wonderful characterization. Thanks so much for your hard work!!
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
I'm glad you're enjoying it; I know my style doesn't work with everyone, so it's fun to find people I click with. Thank you very much for continuing to review. ^_^
Fascinating! You wrote everyone so realistically, I could almost hear them. I can't wait for more.
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
Thank you. I tried to keep them as true to canon as I could (while still running off and doing interesting things with them, of course). Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
I like the Stebbins character. Do you use him more in the rest of the story. I can't wait to find out!
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
I'm glad you enjoyed him; I had fun writing him. Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
A very interesting tale so far. I was quite taken by your filing auror. I love such orignal and personal touches in fan fiction. I hope we see more of him. But not today, Real Life is keeping me from my Fan fiction habit.
I am guessing that Hermione is suggesting to Harry that they both pretend to have had sex with each other.
Thanks for sharing this
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
I'm glad you're enjoying it. Stebbins created himself and sort of insisted on being quirky and adorable. Sort of the quiet, bookish people of the world uniting. :D Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
whoa-ho! that would be a perfect solution! what kind of power would be generated by two virgins together! faboo update. thanks so much
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
Very glad you enjoyed; thanks for taking the time to let me know. ^_^
So Hermione is not pure? 'Seeing she had a lovely first time' ? But with Harry surely not! Severus has messy hair and is the saviour of the wizarding world right.. it's him?
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
LOL My mom sat there trying to turn Severus into the messy-haired Saviour of the wizarding world, too. Keep reading (or at least, do as soon as the next chapter is posted). Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
Ouuuu the mindspeech is cool. At first I was worried that Albus had Fawkes speak to her in this way to manipulate her. But at the end of the chapter it seems that Fawkes and Hermione have formed a relationship of their own. It will be interesting to see where it leads.
I laughed out loud at Hermione’s condensed versions of notes! Too funny. No wonder Harry know how to occlude!
I am all sorts of interested in this world building you are doing with the powers of an pure adult. Are Harry & Hermione pure? Wheeeee!
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. You will indeed be seeing more about Fawkes--who is very much his own person (so to speak ;) ). I think with Hermione on your side, you couldn't possibly not learn to Occlude. Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
Waiiiiit, what? They had a lovely first time? But...but... this is potions under duress!
Harry/Hermione? Dear lord, why???
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
LOL Keep reading :D
Hey there. I've been reading this over on Ashwinder. I'm going to be posting reviews over here just to rave, pimp and give lots of stars. I love this story so much I've been recommending it to all of my friends who read HP fic. I'm such a fan-girl for this story. Anyways. I hope you don't mind hearing me wax lyrical about how amazing your plot and dialouge are. I think its great you're posting over here! Much Love ~ Brena
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
LOL Thank you very much; it's very flattering to hear that you're recommending it all over the place. I like fangirls, and I can't possibly mind hearing you wax lyrical about my fic. :D *hugs*
Well, you've caught my interest! Can't wait to see what this is all about.
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
Glad to hear it. Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
Thanks for posting this here. I will favorite it right now. Very interesting start. I am intriqued.
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
You're very welcome. I'm glad to hear you're intrigued since I know it's a little odd as far as starts/prologues go. Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
facinating start! i look forward to more, even 599705 more words. thanks so much
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
LOL I'm glad you're looking forward to what's to come. Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
I've been reading this on Ashwinder. I love it! But I won't say anything else to avoid spoiling it for others. :)
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
I'm glad you're enjoying it, and I appreciate that you've taken the time to let me know over here. I'm definitely against spoilers, so mum's the word. ;)
I've been following your story on Ashwinder so far. I'm really quite hooked on it and glad that it's posted here so I can read the chapters again. I can't wait to find out what happens!
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
Thanks for taking the time to let me know. It's always great to hear from readers who are quite involved. :D I hope you enjoy the re-read as I try to get caught up over here. Thanks again. ^_^
Lovely, intriguing beginning!! SSHG is my OTP, Drarry my slash OTP, and since I can tell you are going to be a marvelous storyteller, I look forward to following this!!
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
You and I are on the same page for OTPs. :D My style doesn't suit everyone, but for those it clicks with, I can promise much to come. Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
600,000 words huh? Bring it on! I am adding this to my book marks! Woot! Poor Andrew. Does an oblivate hurt?
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
LOL I'm glad you're looking forward to everything that is to come. I don't think Memory Charms hurt, personally; for Andrew's sake, we will indeed hope not. Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
So I opened the 'newly submitted' page, and I said to myself - "It's not Thursday" and I was so super duper over the hill excited for an early chapter, and then my brain caught up, and I realized it wasn't Ashwinder, and this was the first chapter, and I was so sad, but then I read it again anyway, and this time I figured I'd post and tell you how bloody invested I am in this story and how Thursdays has me refreshing and refreshing the page on Ashwinder.
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
LOL I'm sorry I got you inadvertently excited about a new chapter, but it's great to hear from you and know that you're reading over on Ashwinder. Hopefully I'll get caught up here on TPP eventually. ^_^
excekkent start - if you're spending this much time on a secondary character - can't wait to see what you do with HG and SS! Thanks!
Response from phoenix writing (Author of The Problem with Purity)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Spending lots of time on everything is kind of what happened with this fic. ;) Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. ^_^
