I am a longtime fanfic fanatic, having entered the realm via Buffydom. One day I read a Willow/Severus crossover and I was hooked – on Snape that is! He's been in every HP story I've done so far.
I write in multiple fandoms on LJ, esp. BtVS and Firefly. If you're interested in reading my fic for other/crossover fandoms, it can be found at:

Reviews for Ladder
Wow! At first I found it hard to believe that Severus could not tell that it was not Tonks, but then again nobody's perfect 
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! As I mentioned in the AN, the explanation comes soon (the next chapter is already up). Hope you read it and it works for you!
After Chapter 2, I am sitting here laughing and disturbing the cat's nap! Very cute so far. I like the opposing points of view, makes for interesting insights.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! Apologize to the cat for me! The alternating POVs will continue.
OH this was good! With a person who can morph into any body look, I could not in the world blame Severus in this mix up! What a fun moment. Looking forward to more (snicker).
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! I'm so glad that the reason he made the mistake is working for you, and that you're enjoying the story.
That was both hot and funny and I can't wait to read more.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. More soon.
Oh dear heavens above, please have MERCY. More more more!
GUH!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! I love the 'GUH' - if I can reduce you to monosyllables, something must be working. More to come soon (already written and betaed)!
Yup, still intrigued. Bring it on!I don't like heights or ladders at all, but this particular one seems to have caught my fancy.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! I'm so glad you're intrigued and willing to keep climbing this ladder, even if only as a metaphor, even though you don't like heights!
That was really hot! At first I couldn't see how the moron would mistake Granger for Tonks - as you can imagine, the end of chapter 1 was somewhat of a shock - but then chapter two was all about the explainations. Kudos for such a sly little plot bunny. Can't wait for rung 2.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! That's why I put in the AN after chapter 1, and I'm so glad you hung with me to see why it could happen, and that you then thought it worked!
Their eventual meeting face to face (snickers) should be quite tense!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! You're right - lots of tense interaction ahead. (The devilish emoticon is a perfect description - of me, that is!)
Holy Cow - gotta get my hubby's ladder out! Great job of building a different story line and as others have said, it is believable!
(I know smoking's not good for you but I needed the cigarette after that scene!)
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and found it hot. Also, thank you for the note about the story line - it helps me to know what's working in my writing.
I love this story already. I can't wait for more!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! I'm glad you like it - more to come soon!
Oh my, yes Severus was smart to retreat. Great start please update soon.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! Yes, this Severus may have ultimately fought for the light, but he's still a Slytherin.
*fans face* Lovely and intriguing - I will be eager to read more...
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! There's more coming soon!
The line about exclusivity made me LOL! No shit, Severus. That was most excellent, Ubiquirk. 
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! That's one of my favorite lines that Snape has spoken to me (funny, when I'm writing, I hear his voice more clearly than hers a lot of the time). I'm glad you liked it!
Good night! That's as hot a scene as I've read in a while! Wow.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! That was my first attempt ever at regular lemons (both of my one shots are twisted in some way). I was worried about said hotness, but SW69 was a dear in replying to my concern, and I stopped hyperventilating.
(On a fangirl note: love your work - 'The Truth' springs immediately to mind.)
Response from Keladry Lupin (Reviewer)
That's sweet; thank you!
You've made a puddle of lust from me, and it's not even 9 a.m. Eroticism on a ladder is ... I might consider doing some renovation in my flat LOL
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! Oooh, puddles. I'm so glad you found it sexy. I need to find a ladder too!
Wow, very fast updates - thanks!!! This story is great so far - I'm mainly into HG/SS but I do love the playful banter between NT/SS (who else could he be playful with?!). Any chance of a threesome?
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! There will be dialogue between NT/SS, and it's fun to write. I won't spoil you for what's happening next though!
OMG. That was awesome. Holy fricking cow that was awesome. I need to see what rung three brings! *Cyber chocolates galore for you!*
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! (Eats a big old chunk of chocolate to fuel the next stage of writing.) Rung three is coming, but first - rung two.
Response from togspled (Reviewer)
Sorry I so didn't read the title of the chapter. totally went with gut instict and said chapter two=rung two. DEE DEE DEE! *a la Carlos Mencia* Alright, I'll wait for rung two. but THEN rung three. lol. sorry
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
So not a problem!
Uh oh! what's going to happen now? Will Snape try to get his hands on Granger one more time? Will she let him? The next chapter should be a good one.Great job! Looking forward to the next installement.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! Important questions that will take longer to resolve than the next chapter, and I hope you're along for the whole ride!
Your descriptions are fantastic, which is crucial in this sort of story I suppose. Love it. I also find the plot promising, and look forward to more. Happy writing!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! I always like to get ideas of what people find is working in the technical side my writing, so thanks. More soon.
Although exclusivity plays no part in my relationship with Tonks, even I have to admit the gaucheness of performing cunnilingus on another woman in her flat.I think that might be the quintessential understatement of the year!!This chapter from Severus' perspective was just as hot as the first one. The explanation of his lack of suspicion makes sense thus far. I so hope we get a new chapter in like the next ten minutes. Okay...maybe I'm pushing it but soon please as this one was great.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! I'm so glad you liked that line ( I must admit I'm very fond of it myself). I'm also happy that the Severus POV is being found to be sexy. Thanks for letting me know that the explanation is working for you.
My goodness... lol Very hot from his POV as well. I can't wait until they meet again. The sexual tension will be unbearable. Nicely done!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! I have no idea if this is how men think of sex, but it's how I want men to think of sex, so hpefully that works. lol
Wow! I am so happy you did this chapter from Severus' point of view. I am intrigued at what will happen in Chapter four and chapter three for that matter! More please!!!!!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! I'm glad you liked seeing Severus's POV as well as Hermione's - hint: that's the format for the entire story - they're dual protagonists.
Whew! *fans self*As much as I hate the thought of Severus saying he's been thinking about Tonks all day... that was hot! lol
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! Maybe you can look at it at Severus thinking about having sex all day. (Oooh - that's a nice thought.)
Well, my reviews aren't anywhere as good as chocolate, but I'll keep praising you if it encourages you to get the next installment up faster.? Please, please don't torment them (and us) too long!? I love your story!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! I've written ahead, so more to come. (And reviews are as good as chocolate - it lets me know someone cares enough to take a bit of extra time, and that keeps me inspired.)
:thud: Nothing like starting a fic with a bang, eh? I can't wait for more...this is delightful.
:jumps up and down impatiently:
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)
Thanks! You've caught me - this scene hooked me into the story and I'm using it as a hook to catch me some readers as well. More soon!
