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:

I've been reading all along, but the image of Snape shuffling along dressed in pale pink forced me to review.

Gah! That image is now burned into my brain as it is super-imposed on a clothing catalog photograph that I saw last night.

I've enjoyed the walk thorugh the hues and shades of pink. Very enlightening. I've been chuckling and color-mixing in my head.

Looking forward to the next chapter.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed the chapter enough to review! Welcome! Yes - SS in Pink! It makes me laugh and shudder at the same time!

Oooh! Exciting! I am going to cry pink tears at the thought that I won't be able to check for updates until Monday morning. I like Master Plan Hermione. And I can't wait to see what happens when everyone - especially the Pink Lord - starts speaking the truth. Yay!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed the chapter and the idea of HG the Master Planner!

Oh, how absolutely wonderful! This story has me in stitches! The people I work with probably think I'm insane now, but it's all for a good cause.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm very glad you're enjoying the story and finding it funny!

Great story, everyday I am looking forward to read it. The pink is getting really annoying!But I feel there starts to be too much of description of everything pink. Maybe it is just me - I don't care much about looking at what the people are wearing. That is why I don't give full points.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the chapter!

Erm - the Pink and the clothing is supposed to be annoying and hideous - it's part of the dark humor and dystopic aspects of the story. It's been there since chapter 1.

Response from saschia (Reviewer)

Yes, I understand, but for me it stops making the pink annoyng and starts to be annoying itself. But thats just for me, I wanted you to know, why I haven't put five stars. Otherwise great story, I really like it.

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked the chapter and HG's scheming!

Myst

Oh, MAN. This will definitely be "interesting." I enjoy the interspersion of her "plan" with "real time."

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed the chapter and liked the way I intercut her remembering her speech!

OMG!!! I'm hanging on to the edge of my seat!!! Of course, I'm also in shock, trying to picture Snape bedecked in Pale Pink #1. *giggle* Updates of this have become the highlight of my day. I can't wait for more!!!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked the chapter and found the idea of SS in Pink funny!

Evil-Cliffie there Missy! We need our anti-pink (Snape in Pink , dear God) fix so hurry with the next chapter. Please!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked the chapter! Your fix is in - so forgive the evil cliffie!

AUGGGHHHHH!!!! GAHHHH!!! This cliffie is a torture even worse than the description of Umbridge's outfit! I can't wait to see how Hermione's plan unfolds.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked the chapter! Yes, evil, evil cliffie - but the next chapter is already up!

"If he weren't shuffling around in Pale Pink #1, that is." I was laughing so hard, my stomach hurt! Truly wonderful stroy, I love it! You gave me a good laugh this morning, which I really needed. Thank you so much!

hunted to the brink of extinction or turned into slaves I wonder which was the fate of Umbridge's favourite centaurs.Snape in pink. I think I just felt my brain stall...I really like the way that you make the plan unfold in flashes of what seem to be memories.I can't wait to see things descend into chaos!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter and the idea of SS in Pink! Chaos up now!

Oh, dearie me, but the end of Ch.9 would definitely count as an evil cliffie, and as such, decidely Not Pink. I don't think I've ever read a fic as diabolically funny and fear-raising as this one. So very, very well done, permit me to give you a Proper Handshake.

Appropriately pink-waving icon to you!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter and found it funny and horrifying! Thanks for the pink pom-poms even though I wrote the evil cliffie!

Minstrel Elizabeth

Lovely work! And that pink is truly digusting! Can't wait to read more!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed the chapter and find the Pink disgusting!

I just discovered this story today and I cannot believe that I've managed to miss 8 chapters! ...Which might have been a blessing in disguise due to my impatience.

What a wonderfully original idea! I would die in this world due to the fact that I hate pink with a passion and black is one of my favorite colors.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm so glad you're enjoying the story and find it original! Welcome to the resistance!

Pink #5 is bound to provoke a headache. It hurts my eyes! I can't wait for the pandemonium in the next chapter.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter! Pandemonium up now!

LOL Finally, we can relax. Things are moving exactly where they should be. You have a very happy fan here that is literary thrilled to join the rest of your readership and perceive this chapter as funny at last. My past personal experience finally does not hinder your humour, and no terrifying self-defence mechanisms stand in the way of laughter. Finally, hope is shaping up. Excellent.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Back in Black)

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked the chapter and the found it funny! The humor before was mostly dark humor - it's not everyone's cup of tea.

The Master Plan unfolds, and I eagerly await your next installment. Wonderful as always!
