It began with a letter, and a secret. Was it madness to trust? Was it a secret salvation? Or was it all just lying on a ring, in the end...? (***HBP SPOILERS***)

I have to apologize to everyone, period. Real life swallowed me whole, as I have been struggling to make a living writing original fiction over the last 8 years. It has not been easy, & has been complicated by health issues. I hope people can forgive my long silences. Trying to make enough money to live on from writing is a lot harder--waaaay harder--than it looks. (At least I didn't leave any posted fanfics unfinished.)
Anyhoo...
These stories are works of parody (& thus are allowable under US law), and are not written for profit. Just for fun. I'm not making any money off of any fanfics, nor will I ever. I'm just playing around in other writers' universes.
...I am, however, making something of a living off my own stories. (If anyone wants to play around in my universes, you may visit my website, www.jeanjohnson.net, and look up my policy on Fanfics & Fanarts. It's reasonable enough and fairly easy to follow, too...)

A wonderful story, although it did take me a while to really get into it (about the first five chapters). Having read many of your other stories, I found this one just as entertaining and enthralling. Congratulations on a fabulous story!
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
I'll admit it has a slow start...but it's worth it by the end.~Lotm
Wow! That was a wonderful erotic and dramatic story; I found it to be unique, well written and very engaging...I had a hard time leaving my computer until I was finished with you tale.Thank you so much for sharing your writing with us readers...I look forward to reading more from you.

This was fantastic. super duper duper!!!!
Ah, Brava! You do so well in this story with so many things -- structure, plot, sex for a reason, odd humour, pacing, etc.
I also think you made a wise choice in not showing us the Snape children for it would have been a distraction and perhaps cheap pay-off for a story more complex than one might expect.
I have always believed that Severus Snape is, above all things, an honorable man, even if it's not the sort of honor that makes sense to anyone else. I don't know if Book 7 will prove me right, but it was an absolute pleasure to see that world view presented here.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
If Snape doesn't live, if he's not a Good Guy, if he isn't exonerated for his crimes...I'm not reading book 7. (I have a trusted confidante who will be able to tell me whether it's safe or not to read it.) Until such a time as JKR sensibly makes him a Good Guy who survives the war and is pardoned of all his crimes...In Annulo shall remain my book 7...~Lotmthe wimp
Excellent!!!! The best storey I have Read in ages!!! You have tantillized my tastebuds with this incredibile Story... A million thumbs up!
Wonderful!A lovely portrayal of a growing relationship. And most importantly, a post HBP believable plot with a live Severus!Thank you so much, a very good read.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
I can only hope the real book 7 is half this good...that the good guys win, that Snape is a good guy and survives, and that Hermione survives and dumps Ron. She doesn't have to shack up with Snape; so long as she dumps Ron, I'll be satisfied.~Lotmwho isn't going to read the real book 7 until someone else does, and tells her it's safe, and it has to be someone she trusts enough to tell her the truth(...I prefer to think of it as caution, not cowardice!)
Response from Saracen77 (Reviewer)
Giggle! I will be throwing caution to the wind, but the book may end up in the freezer if it doesn't go the way we want it to!Thanks again for writing!
My God, I am speachless! I have no idea how you did it, but I loved this story. I'll be keeping my eye out for your works,but I don't even think it's possible to top this one. Thank you for gracing the world with your imagination and skill.
I have just finished reading this story, and I must say, bravo. This was an excellent piece of writing and throughly enjoyable. The details in the plot were numerous and I can appreciate the effort that must have taken. And the flow was practically flawless. Great job!
Wow. What a great read! I really love your version of Hermione, Severus and for that matter a slightly more mature than most Ron. By the time I got to around chapter 22 I was lost and my family and work didn't see me till I got to the end.Possibly the most fun fan-fic I have read.Thank you.

Not responsible for missed workdays, meals, appointments, or pining family members/pets...*hugs*~Lotm
Lovely. Enjoyed this thoroughly! Well done.
Perfect every time.
Ms Kitty Fantastico! That was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer! LOL I can just imagine a cute little Severus walking around playing with a cat...
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
One of my friends, Stellarluna, requested I name his cat that. (She's a Buffy fan as well as an HP fan.) I caved in and granted her wish. She then sent me the Firefly t.v. series as thanks (we're both fans of theseries), surprising and delighting me...so I shall staunchly defend that Severus Selenius Snape's childhood cat was named Ms. Kitty Fantastico...at least, according to In Annulo.I'm glad you liked my choice of pet-name!~Lotm
Oh my, oh my...I'm expecting my brain to be delivered back sometime next century...good God..!
Holy cow!! What a delicious, flippin' funny scenario...one, four, nine!! So funny & cheeky. Lol. Did I mention sexy? Oh my, good Lord! So hot! I'll never look at my vibrator in the same way...it'll be so disappointing. Loving this story so much!
A well written story ... thank you
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
You're most welcome.*hug*~Lotm
I have loved reading your story and I hope to hear what becomes of the child. What an awsome way to end the story, I think Serverus will be an excellent Headmasteras long as Hermione is there for him.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
Grew up with a couple of siblings, went into Ravenclaw (most likely, given how brainy both parents are), went on to discover some really cool potion or charm or maybe became an artificer...and I think Severus would be an excellent Headmaster even without her, simply for having had her in his life. (But I do think he'd pine away without her, if she died ahead of him.)~Lotm
It took me two weeks of nonstop reading to finish this story but it more than worth it. The plot is so realistic and the limony is nothing like most of the L rate fics online. I usually don't like kinky very much but somehow you manage to change my mind. All in all, this story is more than wonderful! Oh can you tell me how many children do hermione and severus have?Thanks for writing. :-)fict
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
I usually picture Severus & Hermione having around 3 kids...and you're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much (and that I could warp--er, change your mind about the kinky bits, mweheheh). I worked hard to make the plot as close to canon as possible, on this one...~Lotm
Loved it!!!
I still love this fic. One of the best ever!!!
This was a wonderful story in all respects. The plot was thouroughly thought out and perfectly organized. I was extremely impressed with the writing style. So many great stories are ruined by lack of writing ability. In closing, thankyou for several days of stealing away to the computer to read just a few more chapters at a time. (even though I should have been studying for class)
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
Thank you, Chained. I"m glad you hand fun. As a "responsible adult", I have to shake my finger at you and make tsk-ing noises for not studying for your class *tsk tsk*, but I can't regret giving you reading pleasure!~Lotm
Wow. I wouldn't be surprised if I prefer 'In Annulo' to 'Harry Potter and the-as-yet-untitled-7th-book'. If not the best SS/HG fic I've read then certainly in the top three!
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
*blush* Thanks, Ayerf...~Lotm
Thanks for the great story!
What a wonderful story! You had me captivated right til the end. I also really liked how you handled Hermione discovering Severus' true identity, I thought it was very realistic, especially because I'd been wondering how you would pull it off. And the trial scene was just golden, I loved every bit of it. Fantastic work!
