I have to apologize to everyone, period. Real life swallowed me whole, as I have been struggling to make a living writing original fiction over the last 8 years. It has not been easy, & has been complicated by health issues. I hope people can forgive my long silences. Trying to make enough money to live on from writing is a lot harder--waaaay harder--than it looks. (At least I didn't leave any posted fanfics unfinished.)
Anyhoo...
These stories are works of parody (& thus are allowable under US law), and are not written for profit. Just for fun. I'm not making any money off of any fanfics, nor will I ever. I'm just playing around in other writers' universes.
...I am, however, making something of a living off my own stories. (If anyone wants to play around in my universes, you may visit my website, www.jeanjohnson.net, and look up my policy on Fanfics & Fanarts. It's reasonable enough and fairly easy to follow, too...)

Wonderful job with transforming both of them in this! (And I love how painted!Snape caved after a kiss.)
i love it!! it is sooo good! thankks x 
I think it's time to add you to my favorite author list if I haven't done so already. Wow! I want Snape to have SOMETHING good. This certainly fulfills that. I like the interactions with portrait Snape as well.
This is a very romatic story. Tamara
Another reason everyone loves youTamara
The last lines killed me... sighs!!!... amazing =)!!
Wow. Just wow. Your writing is incredible and made me want to be there, seeing them tango in the Great Hall.
I hope to read more of your work sometime.

Yay!!! I have to say that at first I had my reservations about being able to finish this story in so few chapters...but you've done a magnificent job! Bravo!!
Read it over and over and NEVER tire of reading it!!!I am free most evenings for dance lessons from Signor Snape. I am so jealous of Miss Know-It-All. Can't she have the painting and I'll have the real one?I have a secret too....I love your writings!!!!Blessings

i think i want a secret too...
I've already read this once at restricted, but I always have to read your stories over and over. I've read Special twice as well. Not because I couldn't remember or make sense of them, but because you are so damn talented! Love it!! Keep up the exceptional diatrabe. You are amazing! :)
This was a lovely, truly indulgent read. Delicious.
Oh this is wonderful. An absolutely love piece of work here! Already a favorite. :)
At first I didnt think I had read this story before... then come's the part where she find's the books of his of dancing and spanish language... And then it snap's "Ooooooooooooohhh i've read this beforeee!!!" It was months ago, but I still had to finish reading this, because it's such an awesome story! And one of my favorite's, professional dances and people gaping always gets me. Keep up the good work!!!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it as much the second time around as the first--that makes me squee with warm-fuzzy writer-ness!I'm working on mostly original stuff at the moment, but I'll see what I can do about putting up some new fanfic stuff soon enough.Hugs, ~Lotm
I have a secret...I love your writing!

Shhhh...and thank you! ;-D ~Lotm
How did I miss this? I'm a big fan of all your work, it's a gift to find something I haven't read. I love how Hermione handles, portrait Snape, and her classroom persona is wonderful.
Cool. I love Professor Hermione, bitches rule! I also love mellow Sev... mmmm....
Very nice story, and lovely style of writing. I was cracking up laughing at the way Hermione taught her classes! ^_^
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of I Have A Secret)
I always figured she had it in her, she's just that bossy. One day she might make an excellent McGonagall type...but being thrown to the wolves...er, into teaching at such a young age as that, really, the Snape method is the easier path. (Oh, great, now I'm having a Star Wars flashback...lmao) ~Lotm
Totally ooc, but there's something about this story - apart from an awesome plot and wonderfully beautiful language at times... I can't quite define what it is, but I like this story, though it's not what I would usually read. Keep up the good work!

It's a plot chihuahua. They're kinda ugly little dogs when you first look at 'em...but then you realize they do have a charm all of their own. Or maybe you think they're cute at first, and then they become annoying...but they're still compelling all the same. (Mind you, I'm a cat person at heart...)~Lotm
I laughed openly many times to this very heart-warming tale of urequited love at long last requited. And to choose Argentina and the tango... I adore the tango, the lambada, all manners of seductive dances. And I absolutely loved the closing of the story "They shared a secret." There is nothing like a perfect closing line.If you don't write secular fiction, you should at least consider it. You are a very talented woman.Elura

I do write secular fiction, actually... www.JeanJohnson.net~Lotm
oh i love this story! i think i've read it 5 or 6 times by now, and it makes me smile each and every single time... :)
That was the single most beautiful story I think I have ever read. (Sorry about the 'think,' but really, I've read some pretty dang good ones in my time.)
I love the way you say 'made love to each other in the only publically acceptable way.' That is really. . . sexy and wonderful and alluring. . . it totally makes me want to learn the tango. And do it with Severus Snape, and marry said person, and bear children for said person, and love said person.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. . .

You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome... I loved the way that epilogue turned out, too. I loved Snarky!Hermione, aka "Mrs. Snape"...and how her snarling and command of the classroom all but hypnotized the real Snape. This was a very fun story to write, and it's very pleasing to know it's still delighting people even now.
*hug*

Wonderful, sexy, funny, beautiful as can be. Love it!!
