Reviews for Arachne
Just popping in to say how much I just love this story! I've read it 3 times now and it is just so adorable. Well done! :)
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Thank you very much. :)
a completely facinating and thoroughly satisfying story. thanks so much
Great story--it definitely needs more reviews! Time travel always boggles my mind. Like, if Hermione changed the past in this timeline, was there another timeline where she didn't change the past? And what happened in that timeline? My head hurts from trying to think about that!
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Thank you!I suppose canon is what happened in one of the other timelines. ;) But since Hermione doesn't feel a difference, the one she's in right now would be the one she prefers. And Severus, too, I suspect.

I am always greatful for the 'random story' function on this site when it brings up such a wonderful story such as you have written. The little twist near the end with the melding of the two Hermiones/timelines was ingenious. Your choice of Hermione's Animagus form was inspired - certainly squashed Ron's ardour! Interesting too considering her distaste of Skeeter's bug form - dinner perhaps? I liked Hermione's Animagus name Arachne and the pseudonym Helena WEBB (he! he!). Severus's concern that Hermione was his daughter was a nice attention to detail. While the timing would not fit with her stated canon birthdate, an adoption in wartime may introduce some uncertainty on birthdate. Just a small point: I feel that in conversations you had me wondering whose voice was speaking at times. There were several times when dialogues started up, but it I had to search for clues as to who was speaking. It was a pity because it disturbed the flow of the story for me. This was most apparent right at the start. Otherwise a really great story with great characterisations. Well done to all involved. Cheers.

Thank you very much for your lovely review! I'm glad you liked the parts you did and will take a look at the dialogue, to avoid the confusion in the future. Writing tips are always welcome.
wonderful!A great and unique setup--written so expertly!

I absolutely love timetravel fics, and this really is one of the best! Good job!
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Thank you very much! :D
I just finished reading the whole story and only one thing comes to mind: Ohhh...This story was so lovely! Your writing style is fantastic. Reading (or should it be 'hearing'?) the story from Hermione's point of view was quite interesting. And I believe I never heard of a more awesome reason for the break up of Hermione and Ron. He couldn't kiss her because of her animagus form indeed. It seems that Severus wasn't as squeamish (to our delight)! Kudos to you for a well told tale. It was a true pleasure reading this, and it will be added to my favorites.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D
I LOVE this story! I think that it's one of your best productions. I can't wait to see how it ends and, at the same time, I would like that it could last for many many other chapters. Congratulations! And thanks again for sharing.
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Thank you very much, Mep! :D
I find your story more and more interesting and charming. Non vedo l'ora di leggere il prossimo capitolo!
(Can't wait to read next chapter!). Greetings from sunny (till now) Rome.
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Mille Gracie! (Is that correct?) :D
Response from Memory (Reviewer)
Well, "Grazie mille!" is the correct reply... But I've appreciated it anyway. Thank you very much! A big hug. mep
I love this story, it's curious, i like how you keep going back from the past to the present. Please update soon.
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it.
I am amazed that this story isn't more highly reviewed. I found it interesting and well written. It was well paced and thought out. Thanks for writing it.
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Thank you very much! I never get very many reviews, but I love the ones I get. :)
I really enjoyed the story-telling format you used, interweaving present and past. And the romance of spider and Severus was so sweet; it warmed my heart on a cold night.
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
One of the nicest stories I have ever read! So sweet and well written! Brava! Congratulazioni! mep
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Thank you! Gracie! :)
wow. that was a great story
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Thank you very much!
Can't wait for the next chapter!
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Thank you very much! There'll be one short bonus chapter with a higher rating. :)
Wow, what an engaging narrative!
But it was a little odd when Hermione started to recall the steamy parts while addressing it to Severus.. that would have been quite awkward I imagine!
Anyway, keep writing! I'm quite eager to gobble up the next installment of this story.
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Thank you! Yes, it would have been a bit awkward, but also good to draw him out of his reserve, since she gives him her honest feelings.
Wow. I just happened on this story and wow. This is great. I wish I didn't have to work in the morning so I could keep reading it tonight. I can't wait to read the next couple of chapters tomorrow. :)
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
I'm horribly late with my replies, sorry about that. Thank you! There'll be one short bonus chapter with a higher rating, then it's done. :)
Oh boy! You got me. Here is the problem, though. I know I read faster than you are writing. The premise is very interesting. I am looking forward to more and will review again. I like this story. Cheers, Kat
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Thank you! It's already finished, the problem with me is posting. I'm very busy, and getting a chapter through the queue takes some time. But there are two more in the queue now. 6 chapters total and a bonus chapter.
Hi Sylvana. I love this story! This second chapter is even more promising than the first one. I can't wait to see what happens. All my congratulations, your writing is superb as always, and the idea of a spider-Hermione is greatly intriguing... even if I share Ron's dislike for those creatures...
How many chapters have you planned? Ciao! mep
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Hi Mep,
there are 6 chapters and one bonus chapter. Thank you! :)
akkkk! More please!
Response from sylvanawood (Author of Arachne)
Chapter 2 is there and more is on the way. Thank you. :)
very nice. I love it when Snape is a virgin.
Awww. How sad and bittersweet. This is a lovely story.
