Thank you! So sorry about the incredibly long delay in responding - like over a year!! But I've only just been able to access my account again here on TPP! I don't write fan fic anymore (and this was the only one I ever wrote under this pen name) ... life moves on I guess!

Thanks again! :-)

Thank you so much for your review - I am SO sorry about the incredibly late response - like over 2 years!!! But I have only just managed to access my account again here on TPP! I no longer write fanfic and haven't since this story (my one and only under this particular pen name - I've written plenty of others under another name!) ... Life moves on I guess!

Thanks again! :-)

I'm SO incredibly sorry for the delayed response to your lovely review - like nearly 3 years!!! But I've only just been able to access my account again here on TPP!

This was the only story I wrote under this particular pen name (I've written plenty of others - less erotic! - under another name) and it was also the very last fanfic I ever wrote!! I kind of cringe when I read it now ... but, hey, I guess life moves on!!

Thanks again for reviewing at the time! :-)

Don't feel bad. I kind of had a step away from fandom and I keep trying to get back in, but my motivation isn't quite there. I shouild probably read some more fic to wake my muses up. And I go back and read some of my stuff and cringe a bit, too, so you are not alone. ;)

I'm so glad you enjoyed reading my little fic - it seems like a long, long time ago now ... I haven't written anything for years!

Thanks again. :-)

P.S. Do you think that chocolate you offered is still OK?! LOL!

I'm sure you are going to be shocked at getting a response after all this time - like just over 3 years!!! I've only just been able to access my account again here on TPP!!! I hate not responding to reviewers but obviously haven't been able to up until now!

Thank you SO much for your lovely, in-depth review ... not sure if you're still reviewing these days but I gave up on the fanfic a long time ago.  I'd written a lot under another pen name, on here and numerous other sites, but this was the first (and only!) one I'd done under this name - it was also the last story I ever wrote.  To be honest, I cringe when I read it now!! But, hey, life changes I suppose and we move on ...

Thank you SO much,

Thank you, sunny! Yes, I did toy with doing a second version from Snape's POV. However, as I'm writing under a pseudonym here and am actually not too keen on this whole particular fic now, I doubt 'PMmistress' will be allowed near quill & parchment in future! ;-)

You, madam, are just a tease.  Pseudonym, huh?  :)

Haha! I'm sure Severus would say the same if he knew me ;-) For the record, I don't really want to disclose my real (as in pen) name publically (defeats the object of having a pseudonym really - besides a bit of guess work is good for readers brains I reckon!) However, I'm happy to do so privately if anyone cares enough to ask (which I'm sure they don't!!) :-)

Ah, I see.  I thought you must have had another pen name we all knew and were trickin' us! :)

I don't think 'tricking' anyone exactly was ever in my mind! But you're right in that I'm a regular writer/reviewer on here & elsewhere known by another name. I'm only incognito to avoid detection by my own family (not that they read my stuff anyway!) as this fic is a little more - er, shall we say adult - than my normal work &, silly as it probably sounds, I'd prefer to keep it separate :-)

I can understand that.  Mind you, I deliberately try to squick my boys by reading them what I've written! (They are 17,21, and 22 I might add).  They even suggest warped prompts at times. :)

Thank you for your review - my sincere apologies about the incredibly late response - like nearly a year!!! I have only just been able to access my account again here on TPP as I no longer write fanfic.  Thanks again! :-)

Thank you for your review - it's so lovely to get them after a while has passed! I'm really glad you enjoyed my little one-shot :-)  And, as for the real me, well that's not so much that I wanted it to be a 'secret' as the fact that I wasn't too keen on various family members being able to track down what I was writing (not that I think they're bothered one way or the other really!!)

I was just teasing about the real you. A good pseudonym can be quite useful.

It most certainly can ;-)  And I knew you were mentioning the 'secret me' in jest - no offence taken! :-)

Haha! Sorry! I meant to write: 'it most certainly can be (useful)' in response to your "a good pseudonym can be quite useful" - I think I need a beta for my reviews & responses now!!

If that's the worst error you've made all day, I think you're doing alright :)

Thank you SO very much

- I really appreciate your lovely review! As explained to others, PMmistress is just a pseudonym (I normally write under another name) but I have no intention of letting her anywhere near quill & parchment again! I'm afraid there won't ever be more of this particular fic :-)

Oh heck! well actually I didnt mean the same type or line of writing... cause I thing you have a way with words. If you dont mind, could you tell me your other penname so that I can read your other stories (I might have but I dont know!) ...say to my contact ads? Thainks again for such a good story

Thank you,

- what a lovely compliment! I hope you've received the e-mail I sent giving you my other penname.  And you have indeed reviewed some of my other work in the past :-)

Aww ... Thank you,

, what a lovely review! It's really made my day as a matter of fact; especially as I'd given up on ever getting any more reviews on here. So kind of you :-)

Thank you SO much for your review ... I no longer write fanfic and haven't since this particular piece (my only one under this particular pen name) so it's lovely to think it's still being read!

Thanks again! :-)

BTW: Do I know you?!
