I live in Northern California, I love J.K. Rowling, Terry Pratchett, Janet Kagan and a few others. My only close, living family is my ol' Dad, whom I moved back in with last year. I love to read and write fan-fic and I am probably older than most of you.
Reviews for A Generation Back
Um, just a question, but isn't it odd their hanging out in eachother's common rooms? Especially any other house being allowed to see Slytherin . . . . I dont know, just seems off to me. LOVE the MST though! Very funny. I've always wondered those things about the Weasley's. How they could claim to be fine with muggles, but be ashamed of having a squib as a realative. Plus their needless rewarding of achievements to their children, when it means another child goes without. Ron using Charlie's wand could have had SERIOUS consequinces, look at Nevile! At least his Grandmother had the sad excuse of trying to recapture her lost son in her grandson, but to withhold necessary school NAY LIFE equipment, so that you may reward the child your most proud of, with BOTH new robes and a freakin' OWL! . . . . Bad parenting. BAD BAD parenting.

I had originally planned on having some other Slytherin drag Alastor aside and hiss, "What is that bloody GRYFFINDOR doing in our Common Room?!" and a brief, but fierce arguement ensue, with Alastor hotly defending both Minerva herself and his right to invite anyone he chooses to come over and hang out. But somewhere, it kind of slid by. Maybe I can work something into a later chapter.
Actually, you've got me thinking about something, now; If Young!Minerva had no problem hanging out with members of other Houses, and in fact, seems to have been the only Gryffindor in her gang, then how come Professor!Minerva gives that speach to the Ickle Firsties that makes it sound like they're supposed to eat, sleep and breath their own House, exclusively? How am I going to explain THIS shift in her character?!
Just because you KNOW it's rude to stare, doesn't mean one doesn't do it when one sees something TRULY weird. And the sight of someone with an owl in a cage is very, very weird.
EWWW EWWWW! Insinuations of Pet/Vernon sex. ICK! My brain. *shudder* something I NEVER wanted to have pictured. How did you manage to write that without throwing up? You'd been watching Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, when you wrote this, hadn't you. The slicing open of Duddly was the big clue.

Regarding your first question; I just closed my mind to the images. Just put the words on paper.... don't visualize.... *snerk!*
Re. your second question.... Oh, Merlin, was it THAT obvious?! ;)
It's actually MUCH easier to spray liquids out of your nose than one might think . . . really, all it takes is one slightly funny statement, and a liquid in the process of going down your throat and its ALL OVER. *sigh* This has happened to me more times than I would care to admit. Definitely more times than I would EVER like to happen when there's a carbonated beverage in my mouth. THAT is painful.
Ahhh, I can't remember the last time I've read this. You switched sites on me so many times, it was hard to keep up!But I've been a fan since the beginning, and will remain so! You know I love your work!
love it! is there a sequel?
Hee! Poor Alastor. Nice tie in to his comments to Harry in Book 5. :) I can't wait to see how Xiomara takes the chapter with the first flying class, and for Flitwick and Pomona to discover they're teachers as well. As always, the puns and general interaction between the group is delicious!
thank you for the new update. it was great. i enjoy the teachers i mean students talking back an forth about the book.
thank you for the note.

ohhh i thought i was going to get to read another chapter. geezz.. oh well waiting for more "happy thoughts"..
great
great chapter. sorry didn't realise it had been updated.
LOL....i love this story. Especially the youngrer versions of everyone. I never thought that Alastor was in Slytherin though. Kinds fits. :) Great job.

Some other fics I've read have placed him in Slytherin. His paranoia and the presumed craftiness that goes with it seem like Slyth traits.
Haha... the cool thing about being the site owner is that I get to review first. There were so many good chuckles in this chapter. And finally, they are aware of Dumbledore being Headmaster and Minerva being Deputy Headmistress.... the plot thickens.
hehe, great chapter! very amusing
Oh! Great story! I am so into this, and I Cannot wait until the next chapter. I am curious to see how they all react when they find out McGonagall is really Minerva, and then find out the rest are in the books too. Excited, very excited!
There were so many good parts in this chapter ... I think my chest hurts from trying to giggle silently. Next time, I'll remember to read this when everyone is awake.
I especially loved when Minerva said, "You'd be stiff if you'd been sitting on a brick wall all day." I actually felt that moment of silence.
I'm really enjoying your story, especially the humor. I look forward to reading more. Will you be going through the entire book this way?
Ohhh, dear god. *borrows tissue to wipe tears from eyes* This is GREAT! More, please? ~Lotm
I was trying to get up enough inspiration to read Book One again. Now, I think I will . . . but only through your story.
I have never read an MST before. This is such a wonderful new way (well, new to me anyway) to write fanfiction. Thank you for choosing to post it here!!
Yay! Another chapter! Update soon.
What he wants is another chapter - and so do we! This is just plan too long to wait. Please - if we send the request with hugs and chocolates? Sara
great chapter. every other one i've read always seems to do a phone it in sort of thing on that chapter, but you did it a hell of a lot better than the other writers. i like how Minerva reacted. :)
thank you for a new chapter. it was wonderful. i enjoying the "bad jokes". thank you. it was much needed.
a great chapter as usual. i love xiomara's lines!
