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
Whoa, quite the interesting hair-pin turn you threw in there. I think my favorite thing about this chapter though, is that Ron is the "sensible" one out of he and Harry. In cannon, Ron is not my favorite, but I don't enjoy how he's always made to look stupid or just plain mean in many fanfics. I'm enjoying this very much!!!
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
Glad you like it. I don't think that Ron is stupid. And although I know he can sometimes be a PRAT... I think he is also someone that if you give him time, he'll calm down and be okay. I agree that he gets portreyed as a nut way too often! Thanks for the great review!
Ok, break time. Now I can just say WOW!!! This is an awsome story. The circumstances of Lucius' major change are wonderfully shown. How could a man NOT become totally different after what he has gone through? I love the chemistry between the he and Hermione. I can't wait to come back and finish this!!!
With each chapter you keep me more and more intrigued. I can't wait to see how they try to prevent Voldemort from getting to Hermione and Hope. I also can't wait to see how Snape eventually realizes he wants Ginny and actually sets off to pursue her. I feel like Pavlov's dog every time I see you have updated. My mouth just waters at the possibilties of what I am about to read.
I believe I forgot to review the last chapter, so I am going to do this now before my brain freezes. LOL
Excellent chapter. As I told you, they keep getting better. Your plot twists are wonderful. And I, for one, am quite open-minded when it comes to Severus and Albus. I cannot wait for more.
Damn! Go Hermoine! Though now they really have things to worry about. Maybe there will be a spell in one of Merlins' books that can protect her and the baby. Also, here's hoping Severus can pull it together and make a go of it with Ginny. She'd be good for him, I think. Great job, and I look forward to the next chapter>
Thank God she did what I was hoping she would do... (being cryptic in case someone reads reviews before the chapter--really shouldn't read the last page first, folks! LOL)
Honestly, I think someone cast Petrificus Totalis on my heart. Peter scared the you-know-what out of me. I hope You-Know-Who has a difficult time doing what he hopes to do. *hears Mighty Mouse music* Here he (Lucius) comes to save the day!
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
LOL!!! Yeah... that would be about right... At least, I think it would. I never know, my muse may have other plans!
Response from notsosaintly (Reviewer)
Muses have been known to throw everyone for a loop. Mine has thrown me into reverse before... Beware of whiplash. LOL
The tomb scene was great. I'm glad you are taking your time with what seems to be a budding relationship between Snape and Ginny. I like that she told him that the person she loves doesn't even see her as anything other than a bother. That's a great line and its most probably just the way he had thought about her, just before he saw her again.
There seems to be a part in the end missing though.
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I had no clue that had happened yet, since I had just gotten online... Thanks for letting me know!
Response from ancientgirl (Reviewer)
I'm glad you got on so you could fix it. That's an important last bit too.
Oh damn, I cried reading that! This is a wonderful story, just hope I'm able to stay awake long enough to finish it tonight! :)
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
I am so happy that you are enjoying it. This is still my favorite story of all of the ones I have written. It always makes my day to know that others enjoy it too.Shiloh
Ah! Poor Lucius. I feel sorry for him but also for Narcissa and Draco. bummer! I'm back here on the first chapter, but I'll be catching up soon. Cheers and thanks for posting!
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
I am so glad you are reading my stuff. It means alot to me for one of my favorite authors to read, and LIKE my stuff!
Absolutely amazing! You've outdone yourself with this chapter. It's the best yet. As always, I am looking forward to more. And I love what you did with Ginny... a girl Severus would definitely fall for.
You need to write faster my dear, because I'm on the edge of my seat.
Your new twist is great. It's in keeping with the plot you have laid out having to do not only with Lucius and Hermione, but with the book Lucius already has.
It's also nice that you are adding another element, which is the potential for Severys and Ginny to become closer.
Keep at it, this is coming along wonderfully.
I just wanted to say I love this story. The bits with narcissa and Draco are very touching and the change in Lucius very well written. I can't wait to see what happens next. Poor Harry I hope he can find some peace and happiness. Thank you for a amazing story and I really hope to read more soon
Very good I almost cried!
*shiver* Almost makes me want to trip and fall in front of Lucius if only he'd pick me up in those arms...
But Severus would get jealous.
A whole new realm...most definitely. Sort of like 'handless magic,' don't you think?
Still want a bottle of that soap....
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
Tee Hee Hee!!! So would I!
I think you portray Lucius' anguish beautifully. I am really looking forward to the next chapter.
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
I am glad you are liking it. I will get my other chapters cleaned up ASAP so that they are worthy of the site.
Ahh that was sweet.Know what you mean about the muses, I am writing a few Lucius/Hermione/Snape love triangles at the moment. In one of them I was shocked at what my muse wanted me to do.... It's a real pain!But that was very happy, and don't worry about the tears as you're writing, I get that all the time!
H'mm Ginny and Severus??????Sorry it's just that well I am more of a Snape Hermione fan.I like the story though and the Dark Lord is rather dirty isn't he?
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
I completely understand. I started out as a total Hermione/Severus nut... But then, for some reason, I got this itch of Lucius... You must understand, that the Ginevra that I would have Severus fall in love with, (If I ever decide to write such a story) would be an adult, and a much wiser, entriguing witch than the Ginny in the original novels. I would have to have her much changed... As it stands in JKR's stories, she is perfect for Harry. For a Romance to form between her ahd Severus, she would have to be somewhat different... oh well... just food for thought. Glad you liked the story though!Shiloh
wow love do you have a sequel yet? This was amazing!
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
Tee hee... I am so happy you enjoyed it. Alas, I haven't been able to work on anything but my own novels since I was lucky enough to get published. Thanks though. I love to hear from people that they enjoy the fan fictions still.Have a great day!Shilohwww.theorderofeternals.com
i loved the ending
I finally took a moment to understand where this scene really fits in the world, and I can picture the Phantom at his organ. CHristine coming up behind him and removing the mask for the first time, and both instances, the Phantom/Lucius decides what the female feels, instead of giving them a chance to explain.
What a wonderful stor! I like how you brought Merlin and Avalon into it. The Ginny/Severus pairing was excellent. I hope you'ver written a sequel! I'm going to look for it now....
Response from ShilohDarke (Author of The Beauty found within the Beast)
no. I have not been able to do a sequel yet. (sorry) My creative muses inspired another Lucius/Hermione story, and that is what I'm working on right now. I will tell you that when the Severus and Ginny story does come out, look for the name, Roses of Avalon. I am so glad you enjoyed Beauty. It is my favorite so far of the one's I have written.
