A conversation between Severus and Hermione about just what, exactly, he's been looking at on their computer. Not sure if this has been done before, but it might be passable for blowing off steam between longer stories!

Mostly Harmless! Though I have to admit, I'm even stranger than I appear. ;-) There's a pile of unbeta'd stuff on my LJ (dracfic) if you're interested in Raw, Untamed, fanfic.
Believe it or not, "How Argus Filch Got Wild, Got Laid, and Got His Magic" has been rec'ed by Know It Alls! It's true! They gave me this pretty lil' ribbon and everything! And in March 2007, they saw fit to likewise reccommend (as an antidote to angst) the story that started it all, 'Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey'--just in time for the first anniversary of that story's posting! *hugs Harm*
(I also have to admit that 'mostly harmless' may not be the most apt description of a member of the Mad Chatters...)
Reviews for Measuring Up
he probably writes fanfic for Thomas Hardy stories, they always have a suitably depressing ending!
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
That would be about par for poor Severus' course! I bet he has a collection of Charles Addams cartoons as well. :D
Thanks for reviewing!
That was so not what I was expecting. Thank you for the laugh.
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
Around here, you can expect the unexpected and still be surprised! Thank you for the review. :)
Oh this is really cute. Severus writing Fanfic. AwwwwCheers Moepi AKA Michèle

*giggles* Poor Severus! Folks aren't leaving enough carrots for his plot bunnies.Thanks for reviewing!
completely enjoyable.
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
I aim to satisfy. Cheers!
Lol...nice double entendre. Very enjoyable and made me chuckle.
Cheers
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
Your chuckle is noted and added to the supply of muse-fuel. Thank you for taking the time to feed the author, despite signage to the contrary.
haha. I most certainly would reassure him that he's not inadequate!! haha... but I don't think my ways are quite orthodox. lol. Fabby little one shot. :D. x
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
Thank you! Hmm, methinks you might have to get through Hermione first, to offer any sort of 'unorthodox' reassurance...
hahahaah... what a twist.... and probably a shock for those of us that have dirty minds *snicker*
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
Thank you kindly! Wow... gee, someone reading this might have a dirty mind? Oh, my!
Bit of a titillating thought, that...*wink*
Oh, how I do love these 100-word Drabbles about Snape and Hermione! They never fail to make me laugh. Good job on this...Well done!

Thank you! Comedy is my calling card, but this is my first time playing in the 'drabble sandbox.'
“Yes, it is. I mean, compared to them, I feel so… inadequate.”Aw, Snape is a baby in the fandom - I can so relate. So now that you mention it, where are those updates? Hmmm? *wriggles eyebrows*Cute story. :)
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
Thanks! Um, updates? Did I mention updates? yeah... okay, there's one in the queue now! That's right!(whew!)
LOL!!! you got me, i thought it was porn. maybe snape will start posting over at potter place...
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
hee hee... I can never do anything straightforward while the planet is spinning so fast. I have a feeling Snape would be made really, really, welcome over at PP... *snerk*thanks for reviewing!
That was a nice twist at the end!
Really liked your story.
*sigh* Know exactly how he feels...
bye,

Thank you! I can't resist a twist. (I think my mum was scared by a collection of O. Henry stories whilst carrying me.)~dracontia
Poor Severus! I'll give him a rewiew anytime! I really loved that little twist.
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
mmm... yes, I would be happy to give him two--well, two SOMETHINGS up! Twists are my business--glad you liked them, and thanks for reviewing!
*pouts severely, for she had just gotten her Really Really Big Trebuchet unpacked, set up, aligned, calibrated, and was just about to load a geologic missile.**cogitates*...Can I load it with a gazillion fluffy marshmallows to fling at you?~Lotmluffer uf trebuchets, squee
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
Golly--just unpacking a trebuchet is a monumental task, to say nothing of getting the thing ready to rock! (so to speak). Shall I say, 'huzzah for marshmallows?'I promise, I'm working on updates! I even did a week of ah, research, in Vegas for the third installment of FGJ!

Thanks for the laugh; with the day I've been having, I needed it. =) I've certainly never seen this particular twist on a "two characters discussing That Web Site" scene before; it's always nice to see something fresh. =)
And...er...I hate to ask this and it probably shows how often I've been hanging out with certain perverted friends of mine lately, but was the shape of the text in parentheses describing the last long pause...um...intentional?
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
Glad I could help out! Thanks very much for the review--yesterday was right rotten for me, and happy reviews help reduce the sense of inadequacy at yet another RL debacle.As for the 'long' pause... that is deliberately left open to interpretation! 
LOL, oh that was very cute.
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
Thank you! I was in a 'cute' mood there.
Oh, some of us share that feeling with Snape alright :DYes, can't help but wonder what kind of thing Snape would write.Really nice little piece.
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
Thank you! I have to admit, I've almost distracted myself from finishing other stuff, wondering what he's writing!
haha.Severus Snape, the Potions Master, inadequate? oh i hope not! he can write for me anytime! 
Response from dracontia (Author of Measuring Up)
*snicker* He needs to tell us where he's posting so we can review, yeah? And thank you for the review!
