I'm a 26-year-old Accounts Payable manager for a construction company. Basically, I'm paid to write checks and intimidate the menfolk around here. I live with my boyfriend and our dog. I wasn't sucked into the HP fandom until just after the release of HBP. So, I'm a newbie compared to most of the fans out there. I've written in several other fandoms (under different pennames) - Anita Blake, Buffy, X-Files, etc.

This is a beautiful story. I don't believe I've read better. I forgot to breathe during parts, laughed during parts, and cried a bit, too. Truly lovely.

I enjoyed this story. Thanks for writing it.

Thank you! And you're very welcome!
I love this story! It's definitely going in my favorites for repeated reading when I'm feeling blue.
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank you!
Yay! This has been great, anogete!! The characterizations throughout have been wonderful. I loved that Hermione hadn't thought of getting him in bed before it happened, and her thoughts were perfect. I'm glad you're planning to write more fiction... I plan on reading them as soon as you post them! GG 
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank you! I am planning on writing more fic in this pairing. I've actually already written two one-shots. One is in a fic exchange, and the other is still undergoing revision before I send it off to a my beta.
Love it very very much.

Absolutely beautiful. I don't think there could have been a better ending for this story. Thanks so much for sharing this with us, for giving me a chuckle when I needed it, and that very soothing "awww" factor every now and then. I look forward to your next piece, I know it will be just as good as this one! ~The MistressP.S. 5 stars just really isn't high enough.
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. There's nothing quite like that "awww" factor. I'm addicted to it myself.
That note from his mother, simply beautiful! As is the whole chapter. And story.

Thank ya!
I have been following this story faithfully from the beginning! Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. It was very easy to follow, well written and very believable! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!
A great ending to a great story, one of the best on here i think. So sadl aboout Severus not being able to have kids yet it worked with this story. *bows* lovely writing.
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Maybe in the future he and Hermione will figure out how to reverse the damage done to him and give him back his ability to father children. Anyway, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, it's over. I have enjoyed the ride you have provided in this story and look forward to reading more from you.
Their respect for each other (although Snape took his time) made their relationship even more intense even when they weren't together. And the letter from his mum...
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thanks!
Aww... so sad to see the end of my favourite fic on here *sheds a few tears*, well done on 15 chapters of excellent writing, plot, characters and just generally. You did a wonderful job, and I enjoyed every second of reading this fic. I hope that I can find a new fic to check up on everyday, and that I will love, but I doubt it will be to the extent that I have loved this one. Eileen's note to Hermione was so lovely, and I see where the title of the fic tied in, I had a few questions about it, but it's all been cleared up. I hope Severus and Hermione have a happy life together. Congratulations again hun, will miss this fic loads.

Thank you for the wonderful comments! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the fic. Don't be too sad it's over. I'm sure I'll be adding other fics here and there.
Response from Mrs_D_Radcliffe (Reviewer)
I really hope you do write more fics! I love your style of writing! x
Absolutely lovely fic - hooked me from day one and I was so happy you updated so frequently :) Wonderful job!
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank you!
Wonderful story. Thank you for a lovely way to start the day. I look forward to reading more of you works.
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
I'm glad I could make your morning more tolerable. Mine didn't start out so well with the oversleeping and all. Anyway, thank you!
Oh, it's over. Sad...Well, I can tell you that this is great fic for any HG/SS fan. You have every reason to be proud of this work. Good job!
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the fic!
I have been following the updates to this story almost religously - it has been the first thing I check for when I'm online. Great story, I'd love to read your future works,x
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank you! I have one fic tied up in the SS/HG Fic Exchange on LJ at the moment. And I have a on-shot tucked away on my computer that I'm still revising.
sequal, sequal, sequal please!!!!!!!!!!!
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
LOL I'm horrible at sequels. They always lack direction and focus. But I promise other bits of SS/HG fic!
Wheee !!!!! They made it!!!!! *sigh* Kinda bittersweet, this ending. On the one hand, I'm happy that they're together and eager to make a go of things, but I can't help but wonder how much Severus will have to go through with his mother's death. Having said that, I'm mostly sad that the story is over ! *sniff* Then again, you COULD always write a follow-up.....! *winks* Enjoyed the tale - thanks for sharing.
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
I thought about making it an all-around happy ending, but couldn't. People rarely live happily ever after. Anyway, glad you liked it!
*Putting hand up* I cried. My mum has a brain tumour too so that line kinda hurt, but it was beautiful. Thank you for the story.
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
I'm sorry to hear about your mother! I hope the doctors are able to help her. Cancer (the the tumors that go along with) is a scary thing. I've had so many people in my life be diagnosed. A good friend of mine at work has a rare form of stomach cancer, and they've given him only a few months to live. He's such a good person that it's upsetting to me that he has to go through such a difficult time. I don't know if I could keep so optimistic if I were in his place. Anyway, you're welcome for the story, and I really do home your mum gets some sort of treatment and gets better. ::hugs::
That was good. I thought she was going to be a virgin actually, but glad she wasn't! He seemed a bit quick into things, but considering what he'd been through, I'm not surprised. OK, now moving onto the last one!
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
No, no! I would never make Hermione a virgin in an SS/HG fic until she was in her 7th year at Hogwarts. I'm don't think Hermione would be the sort to have sex at Hogwarts, but I don't think she would be a nun after she graduates. Nor do I think she'd be sleeping with every Tom, Dick, and Harry that comes her way. Anyway, glad you enjoyed!
That was very well done; awkward yet not. The build up is nice too.
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank ya!
I really liked this chapter. you certainly have the characters down pat. And HG is acting her age, always nice to read.
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thanks! I winged it with Hermione and hoped that I would write her correctly.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! 
Bravo! Bravo! Well done, very well done. Keep up the wonderful work! Cheers,

Sigh... well, I'm going to imagine that they figure out how to have babies, and they make a fortune on their potion. While it didn't help Eileen for very long, it was long enough for mother and son to have quality time together before her death. Thanks for a lovely story, and I'll be looking for your next fic!
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank you! I left a great deal of the storyline open so people can believe what they want to believe as to the ultimate ending of all of this.
oh it can't be over.
please write a epilogue. excellent story. p
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
LOL It is indeed over. I didn't want my first HP fic to be to long and make people lose interest. Anyway, glad you liked!
