Just another wayward copywriter chewed up and spit out from the merciless world of advertising. Oh, and my writing for the most part centers around a fabulously snarky, drop-dead sexy dark wizard. He's my not-so-secret obsession.
Reviews for Introspection
Evil Ron, very creepy.
Amazing take on this. It was dark and creeped me out a little, yet didn't go into explicit detail. Great work.
A macabre little tale, Rosewood. You do very well to make it seem plausible. Ron always seems so hapless in canon and is often written as exceedingly idiotic in fanfiction so I bet he enjoyed this little voyage into darkness.
But OH! SEVERUS! Why? It's as if he could see into Evil Ron's black soul!
You write so evocatively even (or especially) when the subject is so grisly.
Yikes, this was dark. I don't know if I can see Ron as ever being quite that evil, but at the same time, he does seem like the type who could easily believe anything he was told, especially from a "trusted adult." And the jealous type for sure. So while I found it a bit disturbing, it was well written and original. I like how you handled the rape scene, making it clear what was happening without giving all of the awful details.
That is trully evil!Ron. Definitely not someone I want to meet in a dark alley.

This is definitely one of those odd cases where it's the guy you'd least expect to go psycho.Thanks for the great review!
oh wow, this was super dark. and really in a strange way, it feels like it could be canon. i've never thought of ron being dark like this. well done!
Response from rosewood (Author of Introspection)
Ron is one of those characters that you know just enough about that it is possible to mold his persona to a certain extent. In all honesty, I don't think I would have ever gone down this particular road if I hadn't come across the Evil!Weasleys challenge.Thanks for great review!
Very evil Ron. His self rationalisation was very warped.
Response from rosewood (Author of Introspection)
Warped is a kind way to put it. This turned out to be trying to write, as I really didn't want to delve into any kind of detail about Fleur's rape and murder.Thanks for taking the time to read and review!
Taking a chance on annoying an author, I would have liked to see some twisty thought before the deed, but admittedly, this would be difficult to do and preserve the shock of the story.
Response from rosewood (Author of Introspection)
Not annoyed in the least. I can certainly understand where you are coming from, as this does have the potential to be an extended storyline. However, as this was written in response to a challenge there was a maximum word constraint that had to be considered.Thanks for the review!

Excellent.
Interesting, dark, and reminds me of a child killer they cut up in El Salvador ... only raped and strangled little girls.
He kept hearing that voice, he said, telling him to "Do it again."
Author's Response: When I came across the Evil!Weasleys! challenge I was intrigued at the possibilities. It was strange trying to rationalize the thoughts of a person who is essentially a sociopath. This proved to be an interesting writing exercise.
Thanks for the review!
