I first got into the Harry Potter stories because of my daughter, who was a diehard fan. I have since become a fan myself. Even in the sense that I find my brain constantly asking the eternal question, What if... Add that together with my addiction to romance, and now you see how I pass my time.
I have been a published ebook author for several years now. My novel, The Eternal is now up in print. Anyone interested in having a look-see at my story info, can find the info at my website: http://shilohdarke.com You can also find my original works at http://gypsyshadow.com
I think I will always still be writing HP fan fictions...Even though they do tend to develope rather slowly. (sorry for that) I love these characters too much to just let them stay in the pages of JKR's novels, and Warner Brother's movies. Too much fun. If the day ever comes when I find other writers are playing with my original characters.... I will be so honored.
Reviews for The Beauty found within the Beast
I elle oh vee ee LOVE this story!!! Beauty and the beast was always one of my favorite Disneyu movies!!!!!
You mentioned a sequel?? Lol. Well, please let me know about the mentioned sequel. The story was wonderful, and I loved every moment. I loved Beauty and the Beast as a girl, and your rendition of it was perfect, the characterisation, everything was... Perfezionare!! (Italian for perfect). Luv n hugs, Soph
Aww.... hehe.... loving it so far!! Looking forward to reading on, i thought i better leave a review after your plee for one, so here I am, haha. Anyway, will review again soon ;)
Oh, cool. I bet it's that bitch Bellatrix isn't it. Now why would JK kill off Sirius and leave her???I'm off to read the rest of your story- Good Job BTWAnd if you know where I could get me a bottle of Lucius' special shampoos and such I'd be most obliged!
I have no idea where to start. No idea how to describe how much I love this story. Lucius and Hermione are one of my favourite ships and so few people seem to write about them compared to Hermione and Severus. So firstly I would like to thank you for writing the story around that ship and second, you had me gripped from chapter one right through till the very end. I did in fact read the story yesterday but couldn’t function well enough to type a review (time zones and sleep being needed instead!) I will admit I did cry openly when Lucius *left*. The tears were pouring down my face, which didn’t even happen when Sirius fell through the veil in book five. Thank you so much-wonderful and fantastic, exciting and gripping. I loved it. ~KC
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
Thank you, KC. I was moved to tears when Lucius *left* as well. I was the one writing it but the story was actually telling itself. At the point that I had him Dying, I really did not know that on the next page, Merlin would be stepping in to save the day. I love Hermione/Severus stories, but the truth is, there is just something so much more exotic about Lucius... Well, at least to me! LOLThanks again and I am so glad that you took the time to let me know you liked it.Shiloh
I love the story. Although I'm happy for the way you ended it, I want more. :) I want to know what happens next.
I'm starting to read Hermione/Lucius fics as is a pairing I discover recently, but I have being a Ginny/Severus supporter for a long long time and I want to know their story. You said in your A/N that there would be a sequel. Did you started it already? Can I find it somewhere? If not, I hope you'll have it soon. It have been so long since I've read a good Ginny/Severus fic.
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
I haven't been able to work on it yet. Actually My stories have been put a little on hold. I am also an owner of a RPG that is set in the 7th year. It is in its first stages, so I have been working on it and neglecting my stories. :-( I'm sorry. The other story I have been working on lately is another Lucius/Hermione fic, called Mirror's Reflection. The other story, when it does finally come out, is called Roses of Avalon. So, when you see that name, you'll know I got it started.Thanks for the wonderful review... Shiloh
Hey, sorry I haven't left a review before, but I've just wanted to read on, but this wasa very evil cliffy!!!!!! Thats just mean, but I spose stories do have to have some evil cliffies, so I will forgive you as it makes people want to read on :P Loving the story so far, at first I was a bit confussed by the coupling, but i felt that I just had to read it, to find out how you had portrayed them, and I think that it's great! I won't rate just yet, but I will when I have finished.
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
I aso glad you are enjoying it! I hope you don't feel let down when you reach the end! So far, it is my favorite story I have written in fanfiction. Close to my heart. I hope it becomes close to yours as well!Shiloh
How sad and how beautiful and happy all at once. Thank you for this story, Shiloh, from beginning to end.
I loved this story so much. I was a little skeptical about a Lucius and Hermione story, but you wrote this beautifully. I can't wait to read the continuation with Ginny and Severus.
Bravo, Bravo.
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
Thank you so much for taking the time to read it! I am so glad you gave it a chance. It means alot to me thqat you stuck in there and read all of it!
An emotional, instense final chapter. Very good tale you have here. I am shying away from the Severus/Ginny story because I'm so in love with Severus/Hermione...hehe, but I am certain you will weave another lovely tale. Thanks for posting with us! Cheers! SW69
LOL, on no I had no doubt she was one of the good guys. Don't worry, I won't ask you to reveal any more. I'm just very excited that's all to see how this all plays out.
Have I told you how much I am enjoying this story? I haven't told you enough. I love the Severus/Ginny thing. Great twist and if you look at it in age, he and Ginny would have about the same age difference as Lucius.
I also love that Ginny obviously has a crush on Severus. I can't wait to read more.
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
Thank you!!! Thank you!!! I have some interesting ideas on Ginny. In my portrayal of her, she will be a much changed person from the CHILD she once was. She has a whole, secret reason for being there that will come to light the next couple of chapters.
Response from ancientgirl (Reviewer)
Now I'm REALLY intrigued! I can't wait to see what you have in store. I know some people don't like Ginny, but I think she is a stong young woman and is certainly a force to be reckoned with.
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
(Smiles broadly) Don't worry, She is one of the good guys. Just in case you were wondering. But she is more than just a regular witch now... and it ties into the retrieval of the lost Merlin Chronicles... (SHHHH! I can't give anymore away!) But , you'll like it!
I meant to leave my review here, but for some reason the computer went crazy on me. Anyway, keep up teh wonderful work on this story.
Cheers!
This story is coming along wonderfully. I can't wait to see the finished product. I will be waiting patiently for each update.
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
I'm so glad that you are enjoying it. I have some shocks to be dealt in the next chapter, so... But I think it will work well!
A baby!! Congrats to the mama, papa, the baby and its creator (you). That was an excellent chapter. Can't wait to see what Harry says about all this.
The cliffie is bad enough for the readers, but for poor Lucius? (never ever thought I'd write "poor Lucius")
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
Oh... he wasn't left hanging... trust me... Ch 11 will pick up right where 10 left off!
OMG!! You evil! Evil! Woman! It is not nice to tease!! ;-) Just when it was getting oh, so hot you end it!! well done cliffhanger! I'm officially on the edge of my seat! More!
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
I wasn't trying to be evil, really! :-( There will be a continuation soon. I promise!
Do you know what I have always wondered? If these magical portraits ever watch all the naughty stuff that goes on in the room. Like the goings-on of the last chapter. When I read "You're a shame to the family!" that is exactly what I thought: Uh-oh! Forgot Father was watching. Darn voyeuristic paintings. *teehee*He kissed her! He kissed her! (I am doing a happy dance.)
That soap was the greatest invention ever. I read this twice. The bathroom scene is downright steamy. Love it. I am anxiously awaiting the time when Lucius can relax and accept that someone could love him. (More soon, please?)
Beautiful Story Jenelle. I loved the latest installment. It's a real fantasy. I felt sorry for Lucius. Poor man having his family ripped away fromn him. Loved it , loved it. Keep on with teh execllent work. Good luck.
Thanks so much for letting me know where more of the story was already posted. I'm totally hooked on it already :-) .
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
You are very welcome. Glad you are enjoying it!
It is an interesting concept, and one that I can easily see. I am always of the mind that even people who do evil deeds have a good side. Perhaps one we may never see, but there is always the good to counterpoint the bad.
This chapter affected me so much, I am having trouble finding the words to use. The dream sequence was very nice; the "spectre" guiding her was beautiful. Lucius using the piano to express his pain was so perfect, and how she became mesmerized by it...I think that was my favorite part. I felt very deeply how Lucius' pain turned into Hermione's pain. I am glad she finally saw his scarred face and I am really looking forward to further chapters.
Can I squeeze any more into this review? *lol* Honestly, this is my favorite chapter yet.
Love it! I was a bit entranced by the topic, and I'm hooked! Keep it up, chica!Heehee...
Wonderful story, I couldn't turn away and had to finish it in one sitting!
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
I am so glad you liked it! Thanks so much for reviewing!
OH my!! What a ride that was! I'm so glad your muse revealed that little detail of his descendancy. Makes for a much happier ending!! hehe Anyway, LOVED it!! Is there truly a sequel out there somewhere or is that still being mulled around by you and your muse? Bravo!!
Response from Bentwaters (Reviewer)
Now that I've looked at the other reviews you don't have to answer the question about the sequel. Got it. hehe
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
I haven't been able to write much on the sequel. Too many other ideas popping into my head and refusing to take a back seat to the other... I will at some point be able to dedicate time to it... I swear!
