Ouuuuu Nice and twisty, just what I like in a story! Thanks!
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
Thanks for the review, glad you liked it
Wow - what a ride. I'm also one who almost stopped before reading too far. Glad it was a one-shot so there was no valid reason not to finish. Great job!
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
I'm glad you stuck with it. It's difficult to balance a fair warning with an encouragement to see it through, without giving too much away.Thanks for reading and reviewing
Good story! Excellent. Thank you for sharing this.
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
I'm glad you enjoyed it
Honestly? I had to persuade myself to continue reading. The story started so appaling and disgusting that reading it required a lot of my inner strength. But it was selected as a Featured story, so there must be more to it than meets the eye. And I read on...The catharsis of the final scene was then exhilarating after the torture of your very vivid image of Voldemort's reign. Thank you for the wonderful, imaginative use of Mirror of Erised in this story.
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
I'm glad you gave it a chance. The story hit you in just the way I hoped it would hit readers. I suppose I should have given people an incentive to read on in the summary, but I didn't want to spoil the twist.Thank you for the review. I appreciate it.
Wow, I didn't see that ending coming. I enjoyed this story a lot, and such an end for the scaly git!
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
Thank you. I am pleased you enjoyed it.Yes, I couldn't have Voldie win, not with that callous an attitude to everything.
Response from Kore (Reviewer)
Mmm...yes. Anyone who wants to see his enemy stuffed and used as an ottoman has it coming.
I really enjoyed this--immensely. I never expected that twist--that all that we saw before was an illusion conjured up by the Mirror of Erised--and I loved the denoument with Snape and Harry that somehow squared the circle between Voldmort dying at Harry's hands and his power being love.
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have to admit I was pleased with the way it came together, and I like to hear that other people think so too. Thank you
That was quite a rollercoaster ride, right up untill the last minute thought they were buliding a plan to bring Voldemort down. As the song says '' ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE ''
Your story seemed so dark in the beginning that I wondered if you were going to go into scenes of graphic torture. The change to the Mirror of Erised was a brilliant plot twist. Now I understand that Harry wasn't really stuffed and made into a footstool--it was part of Mouldysnort's desire. I also like how Snape explained that the power of a strong emotion like love could enable Harry to do the right thing and cast the Unforgivable....
Thanks for writing such a "different" story. I really enjoyed it.
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
'Mouldysnort' I'm glad you stuck with it. The first part was quite graphic enough as far as I'm concerned, but I hope the ending balances it. Thanks for the review.
Wow. Not often does such a short piece give me such a profound chill. Kudos for a job well done!
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
Thank you. It's not my usual style, I was hoping I could pull it off. I seem to be channeling Death Eaters at the moment
Nice twist. I didn't see that one coming. Nicely written and plotted. Thanks, JoAnne
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
Thanks :)
Very unique at first I was very upset but Snape's plan was so simple yet complex nicely done
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
I'd be worried if people weren't upset by the first part, especially in the casual attitude displayed towards violent and degrading acts. I was hoping the second part balanced it, with such an ultimately good action being so hard to do. Thanks for reading and reviewing
Your story is brilliant--Voldy's Emperor has no Clothes!!! Done in by Erised and love; how appropriate.
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
I'm glad you liked it, thank you :)
Interesting way to get rid of Voldemort. Great idea.
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
Thank you
How insanely clever and twisted, I love it! :) Where did Nagini go, indeed.
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
Insanely clever and twisted - Voldemort's epitaph! I'm glad you appreciated it, and thank you.
strange and not what I expected... but rather good!
Response from DawnEB (Author of All I Desire)
Thank you. I'm glad you took the time to read it through and review.
