Reviews for Quicksilver
There is high comedy, and there is low comedy. A high level of low comedy.
LOL This was really hilarious!
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Thanks--I had fun writing it!
That was so funny! I wonder what the mother had to say that got Percy returned? Nice one, ladies!
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
I think she just didn't want any more messy pets in the house.
When I realized the food 'pellets' they were tossing to poor Percy were likely cans, I about woke the house with laughter. No surprize that he flinched away from them. Very funny!
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
It's probably lucky for Percy that they don't have Sam's in England.
This was such a funny chapter. Reviewing late as last week was too hectic for me to read the entries. Thanks for such an amusing look at alien reations to our literature/myths.
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Thank you very much. I was beginning to despair that no one had noticed the alien mangling of Earth literature.
Another very odd chapter, though quite entertaining.
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
I don't know how to do anything BUT odd. Thanks :-)
ROFL!! Of course Sev would never play a game (of strip crosswords puzzle, no less) where he is not sure to win. Honestly I was very disapointed by last chapter. But you had me laughing all along (earning me some curious looks by people around me) first by the crossword thing and then by poor Percy's misadventures.
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Thank you! I love causing my readers to get weird looks!
This was clever and sexy. Great chapter.Answering yesterday's puzzle again? LOL Hermione must learn to be extra cautious around Slytherins.You almost made me feel sorry for Percy. Almost.
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Extra cautious...or not, depending on the outcome you're looking for.
funny, funny, funny.
really good, well done.
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Thank you so much!
The gamekeeper's daughter, trying to figure out how to care for Percy was cute.
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Yes, I almost felt sorry for him...but not quite.
I loved this chapter. The best one of the story so far.
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Ooh, thanks! I just took the kidnapping and the crosswords and ran with them--they were Amita's ideas.
Oh, so very funny, but how can you leave us hanging like that? When Snape was so close to... When Snape and Hermione were almost... When they finally were about to...Oh, you know what I mean!!!!
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Karelia has the quill. Hassle her :-)
Oh the gamekeeper's daughter was absolutely delightful! She sooo didn't understand how to 'care' for Percy, but then none of them did. Oh, my gods, I'd smack Severus. After Apparating out of there the moment Lucius arrived! Yes, the next time I saw him I'd smack him, on the rear!
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Thank you so much!*Pauses to ponder Snape smackage*Ok, I'm back. Thanks again!
What a fantastic chapter! You had me rolling with laughter. And yes, I believe Lucius was just leaving. And damn him, if he hadn't shown up, things might have had time to go somewhere even more interesting before the chapter ended.
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Lucius ex machina--my clever device for leaving the actual lemons up to Karelia.
*is still laughing*There were so many good things in this chapter! Percy as a pet is absolutely priceless. And strip crossword puzzle? Ingenius! And so many little things I found absolutely delightful!Lucius is already whispering into my ear... O_o
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
I loved naming him "Wankers." I could just imagine him shouting that every few minutes.
“You already had that paper? You’d already done that crossword?"Bwahahahahahaha! You've got to love a consummate Slytherin.“Mr Malfoy, do you mind?”“Oh, not a bit, I assure you."Or should I say two consummate Slytherins?! Congratulations, dear author, you have done the impossible. You made me feel really, really sorry for poor Percy! I think it may take more than a bottle of firewhiskey and a week in bed for him to recover, though!
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Ha ha, I didn't feel a bit sorry for him, which is what allowed me to abuse him so rudely.
That was too funny. I really enjoyed the alien trying to figure out Percy, vestigal tentacle indeed. And the Snape/Hermione interactions were both hot and hysterical.
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Thank you very much. I can probably go the rest of my life now without envisioning Percy's tentacle again.
ROFL This was a bundle of laughs all the way through. Still trying to imagine poor Percy picking up sticks.... ;)Hermione should definitely have known that Severus would cheat. But you know, there are times where that's not such a bad thing. :DAm interested to know just how she reacts once Lucius is gone (assuming they can kick him out successfully, of course.) ^_^
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Personally I think he deserves a spanking. But you'll have to ask Karelia--she has the talking stick now.
Great chapter. My fave so far. I laughed my ass off!
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Thank you! I want to do crosswords with Snape--he can cheat all he wants!
Aww, I thought he'd make a good pet. Hechicera, this chapter was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. Well, I did when the jumper came off, okay. But four letter word for the state of my cock! Bwahahahaha! And although I hate the word for the faction, I couldn't stop laughing about it. Excellent chapter!
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Thank you so much! I laughed a lot writing it, too!
Wow! Strip crossword puzzle. Did not see that coming. But I loved it! Go Snape!
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Think she'll forgive him for cheating? I know I would...
*Snort* Lovely chapter. I loved the descriptions of how the aliens were treating Percy, lol, poor sod. And the fatc that Severus had already done the crossword was a nice, and very Slytherin, touch.YAY! =o)
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Ever the opportunist, our professor.
Oh, poor Percy! Some alien kid's plaything! And Snape cheating with the crossword, the snake! :)
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Yes, poor Percy...and his vestigial tentacle. Now you're stuck with that image in your brain.
Obviously, Hermione was about to have a kitten.
Response from Mercury (Author of Quicksilver)
Quite! Thanks for the review.
