The Dark Lord has fallen, but an even more terrible force has arisen to take over the Ministry of Magic – the Pink Lord. Ruling with an abundance of ruffles and terrifyingly sharp stiletto heels, Umbridge’s Think Pink Brigade terrorizes a populace grown weary of decrees designed to enforce sweetness. Unexpectedly, Hermione Granger joins the resistance, the sarcastically snarky Back in Black. Award winner.

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:

Oh that color at the top is simply horrid! (and of course, completely perfect for the Think Pink Brigade.) Though it makes me cringe just to imagine even one person dressed completely in that color. ^_^

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked the chapter! It is awful, isn't it - and in patent leather! (shudders)
I loved it! All of it! I have no "constructive criticism". It was a really interesting and entertaining read - thank you!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the chapter and found the story interesting!
This is the weirdest SS/HG I've read--all the more enjoyable. Why do I have this urge to toss anything pink out of my wardrobe? <g>
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the story! And weird isn't a bad word in my vocabulary!
Lovely. Really lovely. I'm glad the coup was managed.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter and the way The Pink Party was overthrown!
Good God this was an amazing story! I have never laughed so hard and been so incredibly involved with a story for a long time. You have an amazing gift to write a variety of personalities and you have made your Snape to be very IC and yet not at the same time. It's bloody brilliant! :)
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm really glad you liked the story so much and found it humorous! And the characterizations!
Hey, that's great!I love this ending, it's just....sexy!!! ;-)And what's on with 'Ladder'? Don't you write any more chapters?LG
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the chapter and found the ending sexy!
It's only been a week and a half on Ladder! (laughs) But another chapter went up today.
“Behind, on top of, underneath – I think you’ll find, Ms. Granger, that I am able to enjoy multiple positions.”
*giggle*
This was a wonderfully enjoyable story!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the chapter and that line! (grins)
Wow, I really love this story. Umbridge was a piece of work, but great job getting rid of her! This was a lot of fun to read, loved it!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and the story as a whole!
The horrors of such a world! What foul, evil mind could dream up a world where everyone dresses in pink {Gasp!}. It's heart-warming to see black triumph again.Enjoyed the fic!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm so very glad you enjoyed the chapter! Erm, I suppose that foul evil mind is mine! But look at all the wonderful Black I put in!
This was absolutely brilliant. I'd be awed, if I weren't laughing so hard.
Thank you for a wonderful ride!

That was a very satisfying end. I loved this story!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter and the way it ends things!
For someone who can see the big picture and make plans so well, sometimes Hermione is clueless. Especially when Snape can catch her off guard with something that should be obvious.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the chapter! Yes - she's very intelligent, but that doesn't always equal 'people smarts.'
I haven't read something I've enjoyed this much in a long time-wonderful!
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm very glad you enjoyed the chapter and the story as a whole so much!
Ahh, yeah!!! Beautiful. I love it when a man realizes the power of a woman and LIKES it. Thanks for the story.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter and the way SS likes a powerful HG!
Yes, Hermione, very good indeed! A very nice wrap-up chapter to an excellent story! (Sorry, I'm too out of it to be more articulate this morning.)
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm so very glad you enjoyed the chapter and Hermione triumphant!
You're updating so fast I couldn't keep up with you. LOL! I just loved reading this story, and the end was perfect.Thank you for a very enjoyable read.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm really glad you liked the chapter and how the story ends! I was writing so quickly that I couldn't keep up with myself! (laughs)
Great ending. The whole story was paced so well and so much fun.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm really glad you liked the chapter and the way it ended things! And that you found it well paced (it's definitely a different pace than a drama, and new for me)!
Super génial ! quel humour... J'adore quand Sévreus fait de l' humour...Thanks

A satisfying ending (considering it's rated 'T' and all).But Severus's explanation about why he couldn't be Minister- surely that could also be argued as reason against Hermione being as such through 'association' with Dumbledore's killer? Of course, it could be that her reputation is good enough to redeem him...
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm very glad you liked the chapter and the way it ends the story! Good point - I'm thinking her rep is good enough.
*YAY* That was a GREAT way to end the story! Thank you, so-very-much, for the EXCELLENT read!

Behind, on top of, underneath: excellent! Thanks for this story. See you with Ladder.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm really glad you liked the chapter and that line! (evil smirk) He ratherly smugly told me he was going to say it early in the writing process!
I like this so much. You do a great job setting the scene without neglecting characterization, and the pacing is good too.
This is such a fun concept... and the title reminds me of AC/DC (a plus, in my book.)
Thanks for writing and posting.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm really glad you like the first chapter! I hope the others are enjoyable as well!
I second the request for an epilogue--mainly because I want to find out more about what happens with HGSS.
I am glad to say that I have almost nothing in the pink scale. "Almost" because corporate variety packs (in my size at least) are evil with their insistance that clothes bought near Easter should, of course, contain pink.
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed the chapter! Sorry you're made to wear pink! (shudders)
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I honestly can't say anything else because I'm busy wiping off tears. This is what I imagine the ideal fanfic to be. Taking magic into account as well as 1984 and the likes. And have magic win. Just, well, brilliant. *is speechless*
Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)
Thanks! I'm so very glad you enjoyed the chapter and the fact that I undercut the dystopic trope to have a happy ending!
I'm supposed to be quiet so that the people who know I'm supposed to be writing a paper don't know that I'm reading fanfiction insted; otherwise, I would be rolling on the floor laughing. This was a great story.
