Reviews for Knocked for a Hoot Loop
Poor Draco... his ardour and labour lost in a chain of mistaken identities and events--breathtaking and uniquely exquisite writing style--such flow and skill, as always! Wonderful, inspiring read!
Response from Amita (Author of Knocked for a Hoot Loop)
Thanks. This was an early effort and I was experimenting and the style seemed appropriate to the story.
Not only do you have the comedy of mistaken identity because no one bothers to sign his/her name, you have the tragedy of unrequited affection because no one guesses correctly who it is that feels so strongly about them.I can only guess that each face-to-face meeting that follows these missives is embarassing and disappointing. Not only does your "love" not return your affect with the same ardor, you are stuck with a lovesick would-be paramour who is not of your choosing and who is unlikely to be set down easily. Eeeww. 
Response from Amita (Author of Knocked for a Hoot Loop)
Yes, some awkward moments will arise from this comedy of errors. On the other hand, the passionate missives have stirred souls, and those involved are now both active and receptive. It's not guaranteed that everything will go well, but a fair number of couples may find each other.
You have to take a great intake of breath to read out loud, but it's worth the effort.
Response from Amita (Author of Knocked for a Hoot Loop)
If the story was successful, it left you breathless.
When I saw that Looong paragraph on the screen, I thought it was an error. Then I started to read and found I could follow your amazing prose quite easily! Very funny! Well done!
Response from Amita (Author of Knocked for a Hoot Loop)
You might be amused to learn the drabble-admin had the same reaction when it initially appeared on her screen. Glad you liked it.
Can anyone say Proust?! This is absolutely amazing! Very well done, and what an original idea for presentation. :)
Response from Amita (Author of Knocked for a Hoot Loop)
Never read Proust. Should get around to it. Thanks.

I had a pocket-size version of Swann's Way, and one sentence carried on for two and a half pages. :)
Huh. That was awesome. Well done.
Response from Amita (Author of Knocked for a Hoot Loop)
Thank you much.
I liked the style in which you wrote this.
Response from Amita (Author of Knocked for a Hoot Loop)
Thanks. I think it's called Victorian Drek: the natural style of us with frail breasts and quivering quill.
Great lord! That is the longest sentence I've ever read. And read it I did. Twice. Just to be sure I could follow the action.That was simply amazing!Beth
Response from Amita (Author of Knocked for a Hoot Loop)
Thanks. I think it could use improvement, but one rule for the Saturday night drabble is that the submission be one evening's effort. This was an experiment.

I don't even know what to say, it's so different--in a very good way. It's like a puzzle just trying to figure out what the story is, but very amusing.
Author's Response:
Glad you like it. It does need a little work to improve the clarity.
Wow, Amita! That was amazing!
Response from Amita (Author of Knocked for a Hoot Loop)
The effort did punch a good sized hole in the evening. Afterwards, I collapsed.
Wow. Just wow! LOL! It's never even occurred to me to write a one-sentence story, and in that kind of prose as well. That is absolutely amazing!
Response from Amita (Author of Knocked for a Hoot Loop)
Thanks. Decided to play with the Sat drabble although it's probably hard on the admins.
Oh My God. I am both enthralled and horrified by this painful manipulation of grammar. I don't know how or why you did it, but it was brilliant. I almost didn't read it, but I saw the author's note at the end about laughingly giving permission, and decided to give it a shot. Now my brain is fried but at least it's happy! Just to check, was it... Draco to Neville to Luna to Ronald to Hermione to Harry to Cho to Lucius Malfoy to Ginny Weasley to Neville again? And the real question: Why the heck did nobody sign their love letters?
Response from Amita (Author of Knocked for a Hoot Loop)
Thanks. The drabble is for those who like a little mental exercise with their entertainment. It's back to Draco instead of Lucius, which gives a circle. They probably signed the letters as "Your eager kumquat" or something similar. Painful? Pray you do not stumble onto the nutter, I mean other author, who inspired this.
