Twentysomething lover of Harry Potter fic. I have served as a beta (btw, i am P.I. accredited) for many authors, and welcome the opportunity to do more. I also serve as co-moderator of the LJ community ptterpr0nprmpts along with the fantabulous tonksinger.
I've been around the fandom for a long time... probably since 2003. I've spent most of it lurking, but published some stories under an old pseudonym. Upon entering the fandom, I immediately became a fan of the Snape/Granger pairing. I prefer Hermione to be a bit older, but have been known to deviate from that preference. Other ships that I prefer include Draco/Ginny, Draco/Harry, Snape/Lupin, and Snape/McGonagall. I am open to most ships and recommendations, as ultimately it is this universe that I love.
Reviews for Overcoming Parentage
PUGGLE! OMG! I have no words for how much I love Snape in this. He's sarky and snarky and an utter git and I LOOOOOOOOVES HIM that way.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
yayyy :). thank you so much!
"Puggle" is just too funny! It makes me think of Pansy Parkinson.I liked Draco's arguements and his pride in "his" culture, regardless of some of the horrific things his ancestors may have done. After all, most of us are proud of our families - in spite of the fact that not all of them were angels.I also think you have pegged Hermione just right. Her shrill self-righteousness is very in keeping with the Know-it-all Hermione who started SPEW. And she is indeed still young, trying to fit in the grown-up world.I look forward to more!

thank you so much. i cant do exclamation points on my phone... but please hear them when you read this response. i always try my best to keep my people in character, so it means the world to me that youve said this. thanks.
*snerk* Puggle? I love it! And Draco is right. Just because the kings and queens of England are considered nobility, that doesn't mean that others aren't as well respected and revered in the Magical culture. ^_^
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
im starting to think i struck gold with this puggle thing... lol. thanks so much for the review.
Oh, stopper! What a tease you are -- Sev or Draco? Or both
? Decisions, decisions... just kidding - enjoying your tantalising story and enjoying Hermione being all flustered -- she can dish it out but can she take it? -- as well as Draco knowing resolutely where he's from/who he is; and Severus and yours coinage of 'Puggle' - brilliant!
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
I'm so glad you're enjoying it! This "Puggle" thing really seems to be catching on, lol!
oh yes Hermione got a nice wake up call from Draco. lol I don't think I would have been that nice to her if she came to my home at five in the morning just cause she felt it convient for her. I hope this gets her to re-think how she views things and yes I think Severus fancies her even if he doesn't want to admit it right off. Look forward to more. :)

oh btw I love the "Puggle" nickname for Draco lol
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
I think severus fancies her too ;)Thanks for such a great review!
Puggle. That's just brilliant! Sounds as though Hermione will be learning a little something during this therapy as well, which is good. Maybe, just maybe, the two of them will become more accepting of one another if not exactly friends.Draco needs to come up with a nickname for Severus as a counterattack to "puggle," and quickly! Mutually assured destruction to insure the cessation of nicknames...
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
Ahahahahaha, it's a Cold War of Nicknames!!I'm hoping by the end of this that they all overcome their parentage just a little bit ;). Good job catching on to that!
Interesting. I like the "puggle" since I envision Draco with the puggle coloring and smushed in face.BTW, you have this chapter marked horror instead of humor. Did you mean to do that? Is the story taking a horrific turn?
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
oh crap no! not horror! sorry :-/yeah, everyone really seems to like that puggle thing :).thanks for the review!
Response from mikimoto (Reviewer)
Wow. You are fast.Doesn't Hermione seem a little bit holier-than-thou? She seems almost like Percy.I can't tell if she is that obtuse or if she is really, really loving having Draco by the short and curlies. Perhaps revenge is a dish best served cold. Time for payback for each of those "mudblood" references with an almost Umbridge-worthy innocence that anything she is doing may not be quite above board.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
you will get a chapter from her POV explaining things relatively soon :) Thanks for so much feedback!!
Im enjoying this story. She has her work cut out for her but at times in this story Hermione tends to get on my nerves maybe its because Ive had to deal with people in her postion. I can't wait to see how Severus tries to get out of this mess, it would be funny to see the look on her face if and when she finds out the purfume she is wearing he created lol
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
canon hermione gets on everyones nerves at one point or another, and that was actually what i was going for. dont worry, she will get her comeuppance.
I'm enjoying this so far -- I like the way each of them interacts with the others. They all seem very IC. Looking forward to more. :)
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
"In Character" is the best compliment any of us can receive. Thank you!!
Love her fragance from his creation being noticed by Severus, and Hermione's reaction to Slytherin tactics and motives - she does have her work cut out for her - hope she has enough nerves for both of them!
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
i'm sure our dear lady can handle it! :)
Enjoying Severus and Hermione meeting on more equal footing, and curious how the three of them will interact and react to revealing more of themselves to each other; have a feeling Draco is going to realise how much more he doesn't know about Hermione, Muggles and his godfather, beyond the Muggle inventions.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
i love people's interpretations of what i'm going to do next. esepcially when it's already written and i know the answer ;)
Looking forward to finding out how much more Draco's found out and experienced about/with Muggles; enjoy Hermione being a bit miffed, but definitely curious with Draco.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
yayyy :). thanks for the review.
The ARDEC are going to have their hands full; love the set up with Hermione being a caseworker, and Draco required to register - reading on!
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
glad you're enjoying it so far!
I do love the idea of anyone calling Draco a Puggle.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
I do too! I'm thinking about having a t'shirt designed...
So Snape is brewing. But is he brewing trouble? I think Hermione trumped him, though. Waiting for next chapter. ^_^
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
glad you liked it!! :)
A whole year? The boy must have assimilated well. Can't wait for the next chapter. ^_^
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
one might think ;). thanks for the review!
Cute. The characters are great, I especially enjoy how each of them has their own defense mechinisms (and how that causes them to interact with each other). I'm curious to hear a little more about why Hermione is all alone, and working for Percy. Also, what else Severus and Draco have been up to. A fun read so far.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thank you for such a detailed and insightful review!!
wonderful! thanks so much and mucho smoochies
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thank you!
This story premise grabbed my attention. I hope the next chapter is a bit longer...
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
it definitely is. and, it just posted! :)
Nice start. Should be interesting to see where this goes. ^_^
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thanks :)
I can't wait for more.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thanks! there are several more chapters written, so updates should happen more often ;)
LOL If Draco follows the rules, perhaps he can become ARDEC's poster boy instead of public enemy no.1!Great start, stopper!
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thanks, beta. not like you know where this is going or anything ;)
Response from Clairvoyant (Reviewer)
LOL

Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thanks!
Oh my what a wonderful ride this was. I just adore the random story button when it brings me such fun reads as this. I adored your Draco. And Sev & Hermione were too much fun. Just love it all. Thanks for the great read.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
