Snape fancier, wanton researcher of the arcane and sublime, and snark mistress.

Reviews for The Frog Prince
I read this on another website last night and failed to comment. The Frog Prince was always one of my favorite fairy tales, and I am very please with what you've done with it.
Response from juniperus (Author of The Frog Prince)
I'm glad you enjoued it - thank you. :)
A very lovely fairy tale. Love the ending especially!
Response from juniperus (Author of The Frog Prince)
Thank you! :D
I only read a couple of fairy tales when I was child and really disliked them. If only the Brothers Grimm had written stories like yours. It's just wonderful.

Response from countrymouse (Reviewer)
Just one thing I do wonder---How DID the school--and Severus--originally become cursed? Who done it? I may have missed it in the story, but the only hint I see was this statement by Frog-Severus:"Clearly the seeds of my research fell into skilled enough hands to make sense of them and, it appears, make alterations. If the changes I suspect have been made, then this first stage is hardly the worst of what lies before them.”
that was so entirely delightful! as i was reading this i kept imagining shelly duvall's frog prince with robin williams in the title role. thanks so much for sharing your splendid vision
Response from juniperus (Author of The Frog Prince)
Thank YOU! :)
I almost skipped over this one, but something told me to check it out. I'm so glad I did. What a wonderful and witty story!Of course I could just imagine a snarky smirking frog. I love frogs, by the way, and would have had no trouble agreeing to his demands!Great job!

Response from juniperus (Author of The Frog Prince)
I'm so pleased to read that - thank you for such a lovely review! :)
*smile* This was lovely. And it makes me realize I'm not sure I know all my fairytales. Because the reference of "Third time lucky, third time’s the charm" doesn't ring any bells in me.I also want to add that I loved the illustrations you provided with the story itself. They're gorgeous.
Response from juniperus (Author of The Frog Prince)
Thank you! :) And this is a compilation of details from the frog/well trope - it's not a retelling of only one version of it. References to three tries is folk saying, as is much of fairytales. I can't name exactly which tales I'd encountered it in before (I've read a lot of folk/fairytales from many cultures over a lot of years!), but I have seen it.
That was one of the cutest, sweetest stories I have ever read. Well done! Awesome retelling :)
