*holds up hand* I do solemnly swear that I will never leave a story unfinished.

After so many years writing, nothing drives me quite so crazy as leaving myself (not to mention my readers! ) hanging. So I will never post anything without the guaranteed promise to finish it.

I'm a globe-trotting recent grad who currently makes her home in San Francisco, where you have to wear a coat all summer long. I've been writing for over eight years, including fanfic, original fic, poetry, and research dissertations. I've just recently finished my first multichapter Harry Potter fic (SS/HG). It's called "Memento Amori" and is perhaps the favorite of my literary offspring.

I am also the proud sire of two one-shots, "More Than a Dream" and "Serpensortia" - which took runner-up in the Potter Place Summer '07 Prompt Challenge.

I think this ending is most apt and very powerful!  I know it's a happy ending and I feel the continuation of their story is a cure.

I can't thank you enough for putting the time and effort into creating such a complicated masterpiece.  I enjoyed every minute of every read through I've attempted to piece it all together.  This tale was very satisfying.

You've managed to infuse lovely humor and saracasm and believabilty into their relationship and their characterizations.   All with a convoluted mystery that needed solving and truly does make sense in the end.  Chris Nolan eat your heart out.

Only thing I didn't "get" was the Harry becoming enamored of Cami/Hermione.  That was awkward and she avoided that well.

Haha although Cicero "died" this is another great and funny chapter. And thank you for the notes, it's really coming together now.

My gosh I wish she could remember all these little humorous things that happen between them!  I love how she's getting to know him but upset that she won't recall.

Wow!  I finally finished reading it for the second time.  I had to print it out and read it straight forward chronologically the second time.  That was a great story.  I do wish there could have been an epilogue but I know in my imagination they live happily ever after.  My hat is off to you for being able to pull something like that off.  Truly amazing.  Thank you for a wonderful read.

“Excellent, we have demonstrated that we know each other’s names,” Hermione said. One of the funniest lines I've ever read. Maybe I shouldn't have done, but I found this chapter was very funny. I was also chuckling at performing the Killing Curse on bunnies.Good meeting between the three of them, nicely written, things are becoming clearer. There has been a few warnings about the dodgy stairs now, could there be a simple explanation for Hermione's injuries? I am intrigued, so I'd better get on with the story.

Response from Olethros (Author of Memento Amori)

Glad you enjoy my dark humor... most of this chapter was definitely intended to be funny.Also, not going to answer about Hermione and the injuries but the stairs... ah yes, the stairs will indeed make a repeat appearance. Good eye!

I haven't reviewed every chapter because this is the first time I have paused. You weave your story beautifully, the non chronological time makes me really sympathetic with Hermione's position. I am pleased that you haven't spent the majority of these early chapters wading through too much of Hermione's emotional state. It would have been very easy to get bogged down in the sadness and loss of most of her memory. Still, you have clearly shown her reation, and I particularly admired the way you had Ron and Harry react. You have done a good job of keeping everyone in character, Hermione's practicality, Harry's moving forward to do what he must, and Ron's affection. It's nice to see a Ron in an HG/SS fic that isn't belittled and killed off at the first opportunity.You certainly have a flair for dramatic writing. Your scenes are well constructed to give the reader a lot of information in relatively few words. This really adds to the fast pacing, giving us a lot of action as well as explanations, meaning that readers like me are thoroughly swept along with Hermione.I look forward to reading the rest. 

Response from Olethros (Author of Memento Amori)

Possibly one of the most flattering reviews I've ever gotten, thank you so so much!! I am glad that you are enjoying my work; it's the best reward that a writer can get. I'm especially glad that you thought my writing to be in character - that is always what I strive for first and foremost.Hope that the rest of the story lives up to your expectations!

*is stunned*

 After reading chapter sixteen, my intention was to go back and read the whole thing backwards, but that last chapter was so exhausting, I think I need to step away for a while.  Maybe some day I'll leave you a real review, but all I can say for now is that you have written an amazing story; I'm just not sure how I feel about it.

Oh this chapter is dark.  Exquist imiagry of torture and pain.  Very conflicting too, given the crying Snape before he chucks her down the stairs.   Never ever read anything like this.  It must have been challenging for you, I could never see me writing something like this.

Did they meet at McDonald's?
I am enjoying this fic, but I'm having trouble keeping the time lines straight.

I've just discovered it is possible (for me, at least) to squee in delight, cry, laugh, sniff and moan at the same time. You are absolutely right, no epilogue is needed. Let us imagine, each one, what life will be like to Severus and Hermione. What an amazing way to complete the story! Bravo!

I don't know if you'd intended it to be tricky, but I was thinking it was a sunset until I read this chapter; maybe I just wasn't paying close enough attention to the dates and confused myself.  Goodness, the dates are getting closer together now...

I had really hoped it was something like that.  Wow!

The next chapter sounds exciting. And I don't have to wait. Very compelling story so far.

*applauds with a yawn*  If I could keep my eyes open, I would.  I haven't mentioned before, but I like the way you write everyone.  Ron and Harry are often shortchanged in SSHG fics, but you've done a good job with them.

WriterMerrin

I like how there is something that ties the halves of the chapter together, like the wand in the previous chapter.  I am so intrigued by the bracelet thing; I already want to go back and reread the first four chapters, but then I know I'd never get any sleep.

WriterMerrin

Oh, I told myself that I wasn't going to leave a review for every single chapter, but so far, I've had something to say.

 I'm really interested in Hermione's research; I've already got a few ideas.  Your recaps-as-forshadowing are brilliant!

WriterMerrin

Hmm, she remembered to call him "Severus."  That has possibilities.  Writing this story backwards and forwards must have been hard; it's amazing.

0/10

WriterMerrin

Okay, I know I said at one point that I wasn't going to read this because I was working on something similar, but I've pretty much given up on '50 First Kisses' and I can't ignore the siren call of a completed fic.  I only hope I don't stay up too late reading this tonight, because right now I want to read the whole thing.  You really gave us somehting to mull over.
