Thirty-something Welsh woman with a job, two kids, a dog and increasingly neglected housework due to my new-found obsession with the world of HP fanfic. Dusting just slipped even lower down my list of priorities ...
Oh, and "bleddyn" is a Welsh name meaning "little wolf", in case you were wondering!
Reviews for Bat Out of Hell
Wow! Really awesome story! Love the premise, and I really love reading super competent but not totally infalliable Hermione. I also loved them trading sex stories. I hate when Snape is all mr sexy man and Hermione is practically a virgin, so that was nice to hear. Not to mention hot :)

Thanks! Yes, I prefer to see them as more of a partnership of equals too.

What a cliffhanger! I nearly dropped my lunch like Severus his tea cup. But at least I am glad that this Lover´s Voice thingie is real, I'd hate to think Jane Eyre was delusional ... Great story!
Response from bleddyn (Author of Bat Out of Hell)
Dropping your lunch on your computer? Never a good idea! No, Jane Eyre was definitely not delusional. Slightly odd, possibly, but apparently sane!

Now then lady. Listen up. I have to go up to my caravan at Coniston for a couple of weeks because they are knocking my bloody kitchen down. And when up there I have no proper access to t'intenet. Upshot is, can I have another chapter before I go please? If not I'm afraid you will be remanded at the Severus Snape School of Correction for Wayward Girls for a period of three months...if you do oblige me you get six months,you lucky scamp. I may even join you. OMG....when they do get it on eventually they'll go off like rockets. This is a really good story and you clearly have a lot of talent so do promise us you'll do more. I saw Meat Loaf at the MEN a few years ago. He was brill. I must admit though that Bat does remind me of getting my 'O' level results in 1978 as I was singing all the tracks in a train compartment from Glasgow to Manchester with my older brother. Result......8 out of 9 ain't bad. Time for bed Zebedee. Best wishes, Love Ali xxxxx.

The Severus Snape School of Correction, eh? Now there's a fic idea....I will do everything in my power to get the last chapter up before you depart for the sunny (?) Lake District, but if I fail you'll just have to get someone to print it out and post it to you!

"Paradise" is going to be good, although, having tried it *cough* many years ago, the bedside light is far better than the dashboard. ;)
Response from bleddyn (Author of Bat Out of Hell)
*Cough* I would have to agree with you on that one!!

Going to eat his words about the Vocant Amoris now, isn't he?
Another fabulous chapter! You'll be forgiven for the evil cliffie once they make it out of this and put an end to all this foreplay! Not sure about Hermione but I needed a cold shower!
Response from bleddyn (Author of Bat Out of Hell)
Severus Snape admit he was wrong? We'll see!We'll have to see about them putting an end to the foreplay as well....

For crying out loudYou know I love youWell, I love your story!I am now really looking forward to Paradise by the Dashboard Lights! Dare I hope that the Jaguar makes another appearance? I tryed Snape's trick with Turpin and the sweet green grass on a lovely 2 year old race horse who is taking a short vacation at the farm. Well, I had to actually walk him to a very nice patch of grass rather than just think about it! And we had a mare named Schadenfreude arrive back this week. I guess life imitates art!
Response from bleddyn (Author of Bat Out of Hell)
Spooky coincidence! "Horse Training Tips from Severus Snape" might be a bestseller, then? Hmmm, must think about that!I remain amused and impressed by my reviewers' knowledge of Meatloaf and enthusiasm for the Jag!! I hadn't realised I had so many kindred spirits!
Response from Who (Reviewer)
Of course we are kindred spirits! We are all Harry Potter Severus Snape fans!

*swnicker* "He’s a man. His brain isn’t supposed to get a vote." Wouldn't that depend on which brain is doing the voting? *grin*Severus Snape to the rescue? Are they bonded? Is that why he dropped his teacup? Where's the next chapter? *looks under the papers on desk* Nope, not here. I'm waiting... *la la la la la* ^_^
Response from bleddyn (Author of Bat Out of Hell)
Well, yes, exactly, the actual brain in his head really shouldn't have been interfering! There may be some rescuing in the next chapter....

You already know how brilliant I find your writing style, so I won't waste time going into raptures of it. And you know I think your Snape and Hermione are superb together, so I won't go into detail over that.For this review, I simply must say, "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!" about a thousad more times than I've typed it here.The flirting and the resulting UST, the action, the intrigue, the prospect of a very interesting bit of (possible) foreshadowing having just come to fruition – everything has left me aflutter and panting for more, more, more, more!Well done, little wolf. Well done!
Response from bleddyn (Author of Bat Out of Hell)
Aww, you've made me blush again! I'm delighted to have been credited with foreshadowing - there was me thinking I'd just dropped a really unsubtle hint! Thanks again for all your encouragement.

This just gets better and better and I appreciate the regular updates!What a fitting move on "Turpin's" part (good call, Severus!) though I'm a little worried about how Price will try to get revenge. And it sounds like we will finally get to meet Markov in the next chapter - I must say I've become quite curious about him.
Response from bleddyn (Author of Bat Out of Hell)
It was all the horse's idea, honest! Your curiosity may be satisfied soon...

I really like this story. A sexy severus, strong hermione, good lines and a tiny bit of mystery. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Oh hell...it takes me back to my honeymoon 30 years ago in Ullswater...first and last time horse riding. And like Hermione I needed a long soak in an Epsom Salt bath. I was so bow legged my husband was being appraised as a sex god! Lovely well written original story and so good to see Price get his comeuppance. Best wishes, Love Ali xxxx.
Response from bleddyn (Author of Bat Out of Hell)
Horse riding on your honeymoon? Madness! (Though I'm glad it did your husband's reputation good!). Thanks for the review!

Yes, I think they've both definitely crossed over. I just think it's going to take them each a little while to feel comfortable enough to let it run it's course.

*snicker* Severus, the horse whisperer. Or would that be "Horse Legilimens"? Loved how he showed up Price. Of course, that may come back at him later. Price strikes me as a vindictive berk. ^_^

Ah, you'll just have to wait and see!

O.M.G. You had me at "oleaginous". But then you had to gild the lily:"She briefly introduced the two men, who shook hands. Snape noted that Price had the slightly too-firm, slightly too-long handshake of a man who seeks to establish dominance from the outset. He was of a height with Snape, but rather more solidly built, with the appearance of a once-fit man who was starting to run to fat. He looked to be in his early fifties, with close-cropped iron-grey hair. His too-loud shirt and chunky gold bracelet indicated the lack of taste to be expected from a man who had married a woman like Stacey." Perfection.And then you had to talk about relationships and then you put Snape on a horse and then they had that moment at the end... and now I'm practically incoherent. To top it off, the chapter title was my first exposure to Meatloaf. That tune and those words will be swimming in my head all night. How long do I have to wait for chapter 6? Sigh.Thanks for posting--hm88
Response from bleddyn (Author of Bat Out of Hell)
I love "oleaginous" too - it's one of those words you just don't get to use often enough in everyday conversation. Though I could apply it to one or two men of my acquaintance....I'm sure Chapter 6 will be along shortly. Thanks for reviewing!

It's ridiculous how giddy I get when this is updated.

Yup, totally ridiculous! Thanks, though!

If the both disappeared everyone would just assume they'd snuck off for a quickie! :)

I am really enjoying this one so far! The banter between mellow Snape and mature Hermione is delightful. The characterizations are very well done and their slow burn is ... delicious. :)

I read last chapter and this one together. I really am enjoying this story. It's kind of like that old black and white movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith with their banter and chemistry. It's really cute!
Response from bleddyn (Author of Bat Out of Hell)
Thanks so much! I'm glad you're getting that sort of old-fashioned romantic comedy vibe - exactly what I intended!

this story is lovely, loved the taxitour, hopefully it will not be to angsty when they meet the villain. The banter is so funny, I love your Severus, I can see him relaxed some years after the war
Response from bleddyn (Author of Bat Out of Hell)
Don't worry - I don't really do angst! I'm glad you're finding it funny.
