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.

Can't wait for the next chapter!
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
yay! it's written :)
Good show! I like the way Dramione interacts. He's still got it and she still quotes books. Looking forward to the Grape interactions. ^_^
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thanks! the next chapter is in queue. sorry i haven't posted it sooner!
I just love that Hermione totally missed the boat on that one.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
yeaaah, hermione's pretty silly sometimes. next chapter is in queueeeee! :)
Really enjoyed this!
This is a great story. It is the best story I have read in a long time. I love romantic comedy and this is hitting all the right buttons for me. Draco is great and funny. SS/HG lovely characterizations. I read it straight through in one sitting. I look forward to more. Ta, Kat
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thanks, kat! :) props on characterization is the best type of review an author can hope for :)
Draco is priceless. And his point of view is the added ingredient in this story. ^^
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thank youu so much
"The lettuce he ripped with his hands."I do this, too :D
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
me too! my mother is the culprit for cutting everything up PERFECTLY. used to drive me bonkers.
"Did you notice how much Marla looks like Aunt Bella used to...?"Muahahah! Good one!
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thanks ;)
Lovely date, and anticipating more. Thank you.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
just a wee bit more to go ;)
Instead, he walked into his kitchen to find Severus Snape and Hermione Granger sharing a bottle of red wine and eating chocolate chip ice cream directly from the pint, and daydreams of Azkaban turned to nightmares of the Janus Thickey Ward.HaHaHa! Love it!
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thanks! i struggled with that line trying to make it funny but not stupid. thanks for liking it!
I googled poutine since I never heard of it before... looks... interesting. I can understand how Severys can be put out by it! Thank you for the info on Hermione's outfit. Gret look. Another great chapter and waiting patiently for updtes!
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
omg it's such good comfort food. all the best things--starch, cheese, and gravvyyyy :-P
Yay! Molson, my second favorite beer! Hermione really must stop being so anal retentive about stupid things like taking one flower. A book from a public library, I could understand freaking out about, but a flower taken from a plant that will regenerate another in an adjacent spot, on a plant that will not die nor scream because it is missing a blossom - is just utterly ridiculous! And I just loved when she asked him what he was hungry for, he replied "food".
And here, I thought I was the only one who ever gave that reply!!!
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
lol, but taking that flower was illeeeeeeegal! <whinges> :-P... i give that reply all the time...thanks for the review!
Ok, this chapter was too funny to not take a quick break from reading. A drunk Snape is rarely a bad thing. Expecially since he usually reveals some things he wouldn't otherwise.I got a kick out of this attempt at being muggle:he dug in his computer desk for a sticky note and a permanent marker, scrawled Granger a note, stuck it to his owl, and sent her on her way.The end was nice as well with Draco and Hermione coming to an understanding. Puggle! Ha! Cracks me up.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
*snrk* yeah, that sticky note thing still cracks me up. and i seriously need to commission some puggle/draco fanart and make t-shirts. i could make a killing at con... :) thanks for the review!
It's cute how awkward they are with each other on this date. Hopefully they can loosen up a little bit. Severus' anxiety is very tangible. What kind of flower was it that Severus stole for Hermione? Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for sharing.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
lol i haven no idea what kind of flower it was. a pretty one? :-P. next (and final) chapter is written and will post soon :).
OOOOH, this looks fun. You'll have to excuse me if I don't stop to review each chapter. After all, that will mean that this is so good I couldn't be bothered to stop. Off to find out more ...
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
*gigglesnort* yeah, i do that all the time :)
It's lovely to see Severus a bit uncertain, and the thought of him sharing chips & gravy is just divine.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
:):) glad you like it!
Love the way he was so stressed out by the thought of a date, he forgot to PLAN the date! And what is poutine? :)
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
poutine is exactly what i said: chips, gravy, and cheese. kind of like disco fries in the states but BETTER. :)
Response from sunny33 (Reviewer)
Chips as in french fries, or potato crisps?
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
fries
That was really cute and awkward and suited them.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thanks!!
That almost sounds like my sister's homemade nachos. *grin* Good chapter. Hope Severus doesn't get into trouble for taking the flower. ^_^
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
nahhh, he's a s00per sneeky spyyy :-P.and seriously, poutine. best food everrrrr.thanks for the review!
Heeheehee! This chapter was great! I like how Severus and Hermione are both being caught off guard by Draco.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
it was fun to write :)
Cute idea - including a diary page!
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
thanks!
Yours is the second fic I've read about Snape being a perfume maker. I guess it goes hand-in-hand with being a potions maker since he's got all the right ingredients, anyways.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
it may be the connection to the alan rickman movie "perfume"... but honestly, he wasn't the perfumer in that. i just like the idea.
That was too damn funny! First, calling Draco "Puggle" and then retching in the morning...! What happened to our esteemed 'stick-up-his-arse, no-reaction' Potions Master?
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
hangovers can bring out the worst... or best... in men, lol. thanks for the reviewwwwww
Just had to twist the knife, didn't he! *snerk* Lovely chapter, especially the part about the soap. ^_^
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Overcoming Parentage)
aww thanks!! :):)
