I'm an occasional writer, I don't tend to plot out my stories, I write them as I feel inspired. Most of my work ends up being Harry/Hermione, though I do have a soft spot for reading Hermione/Severus
Reviews for Birth Control and Bananas
Is this story complete? It is marked as such, but you seem to have left the characters in mid-air without any kind of resolution. I have a problem with your portrayal of Hermione here (please take it as constructive criticism--I will not be harsh). She is supposed to be 28 years old, with considerable life experience: med school, army, medi-witch training--but you have her behaving like a teenager. You should let her story-age and experience be reflected in her characterization, if possible.

there are 2 more installments in queue, so it shouldn't be marked as completed.
thank you for the critisium. I had her acting more "grown up" but made her more agumentative as i continued based on advice given to me. Hang in there, the remaining installations should be up soon!
I hope there's more, it's such a wonderful story. Severus reaction to the lectures is hysterically funny.
Response from muzicfan5 (Author of Birth Control and Bananas)
That was my goal. I figured between him and the crazy questions the students asked it had to be at least a little funny! Glad you liked it! I think there are a few more classroom scene's to go! keep an eye out for them!
Oh goody *grins* I can't wait for the next installment!
Response from muzicfan5 (Author of Birth Control and Bananas)
My goal is to have the story finished by the time the challenge offically ends, which i believe is the 21st! Keep checking back
Thanks for reading!
I loved this story, I still love i. And it's kind of neat reading it in this format now.

That's great to hear that you love it even after working on it! thanks again for all your help! I may be calling on you again, I got attacked by a plot bunny last night
excellent story. hope to see a sequel..
great beginning. onto then next chapters.
Response from muzicfan5 (Author of Birth Control and Bananas)
I'm glad you like it! The story will be finished in 2 installments, though it is actually 6 chapters.
Nice job. Ass-gremlin is quite an interesting term. I really loved this story...you did a wonderful job with it. ~Jen

I loved this chapter! Finally some action! LOL! I loved the condom exercise too...great job!~Jen
Great job! I liked all the students' comments about Severus...nice touch. Keep up the good work.~Jen
Great job with this chapter. I really liked the end when Hermione came on to Severus...nice job!~Jen
Very interesting chapter! I love the fact that Snape stumbled a bit on his words when he asked her about her virginity...funny idea. Great job!~Jen
Another nice chapter. I loved the enthusiasm (sp?) she had to try out the shampoo. I would have probably done the same thing...my hair's a curly, tangled mess a lot too. Again, great job.~Jen
Nice intro chapter! I can't wait to read what happens. I really liked the line "killer of all things cute and cuddly"; it describes Severus very interestingly.~Jen
Great story though it was a little out of character for the most part but you said that in your A/N... Well done and I hope to see more from you in the future. Cheers, Sonia
And it only gets better! Poor Snape seems a bit embarrased by the topic, doesn't he? Not that he would ever admit it whitout a healthy dose of Veritaserum. LOL! Now, I'm really curious about the seventh years lesson!
Response from muzicfan5 (Author of Birth Control and Bananas)
If you enjoy watching Snape squirm you'll love the chapter so rightfully titled "Mission: Embarass Snape"
More should be posted soon! thanks for reading!
News is the fastest moving thing in all of Hogwarts. News and rumours, which are, in theory, the same thing; then again, in theory Nick Carter has talent.
Well, he has got some talent--he's good at looking pretty for the camera.
Seriously, though, I'm enjoying this story so far. Keep it up, though you may want to be careful about the way in which Hermione interacts with Snape. Perhaps it's just my perception of the character, but the fact that she's being so forward with him seems more than a little out of character for her. As for Snape, he seems to be a bit more easygoing and a bit less sharp in this story than he is in canon--he just somehow doesn't ring true. If this is for a reason, fine, but if it isn't you may want to do a bit more research into this character.
Overall, though, good work. I look forward to reading more and seeing how the seventh-years react to the new class.
Response from muzicfan5 (Author of Birth Control and Bananas)
I'll try to keep their cannon more in mind for future stories. I think I can safely tell you that they fight a bit more in upcoming chapters. Though they do remain a bit out of character... Thanks for the input! More should be posted soon
OOOH Do keep the capters commingElen

Chapter 3 and 4 are both in queue, awaiting the wonderful admin's approval! I'm glad you enjoyed! come back soon!
i love this snape! and hermione is prettier without being ho!mione. good chapter.
Response from muzicfan5 (Author of Birth Control and Bananas)
I think my favorite Snape is a disgrunted and witty Snape.
If you like him like that too, I really must recommend "Courtisy of your fairy god-jarvey" I, personally liked that one better than the sequel, but there was more story line in the second one.thanks for reading!
Nice idea for the story. I like how you've had Hermione join the Army. I don't know quite how the Army works in Britain, but I'm sure Hermione would greatly appreciate the military as a new and diverse experience.
Also, just a minor note, if you want to fix it...but it's so minor, you probably don't need to: Students in Britain don't "graduate;" they "leave" school. "Graduate" is an American term. Just a bit of constructive crit.
But, overall, very nicely written. Well done!

Response from muzicfan5 (Author of Birth Control and Bananas)
Thanks for the terminology! I'm not positive on it, but I think that it may be kosher in the Harry Potter universe to graduate. I could be making this up though lol.
As for the military, I'm not even terribly sure on how the American military works, though I do have some friends and family that are involved. I just figured she's so set on learning that she'd want to know not only wizarding methods on anything she could, besides, Hermione being medically inclinded worked best for the plotline I had in mind
Thanks for reading!
Oh, I'm glad you gave a reason for Hermione to suddenly have wonderful hair, :).
So many authors simply say that Hermione came back to school and was suddenly a goddess. Nice job on keeping it real.
Well done!
~Julia~
I'd love some of that shampoo myself! Good job!
Response from muzicfan5 (Author of Birth Control and Bananas)
I wouldn't mind it either, though my hair has been considerably better since getting a bit longer and using some hardcore moisture infusing shampoo
Hehe.... wonderful. Now where's the rest? lol.
Response from muzicfan5 (Author of Birth Control and Bananas)
You'll be pleased to hear that the story is completed on my part. I'm hopeful to have a second beta take a read through soon and double check my punctation on it. A second chapter has been posted, and a third is in line for an admin read through!
Very nice how you brought him around in the end. I love that closing bit of speech between them. The class setting was quite fun.
hehehe...herms. nice take on the challenge! :)
Response from muzicfan5 (Author of Birth Control and Bananas)
Thanks! I'm glad you like it thus far. More will be posted soon! If you have a chance, stop by and read the newly posted chapter two!
