I am married and have three sons. SF and fantasy are my favorite genres and J.R.R. Tolkien, Ursula LeGuin, Robert Jordan (both with and without Brandon Sanderson) and George R.R. Martin are some of my fav authors. I really enjoy reading HP fanfic because there is so much variety. I also write fanfic when I get the time--SS/HG for the most part.
Oh, and my day job is a university professor. (Yeah, I'm a nerd!)

As you know, I always love your work, and I enjoyed all of these drabbles; but perhaps my favorite moment is when Severus asks Riddle, 'Who are you?' and the answer is, "I don't really know." That's just brilliant.

. This 100 word format was a real challenge for me--having to pack as much meaning as possible into short blurbs was more work than I had imagined it would be. But I was pleased with the result too. I wanted it to be as ambiguous as possible within the limits of the format. I am very glad you enjoyed it.
It's interesting to see a nice Voldy. No more "I want to control the world" just live like any normal wizard with a wife, friends, and a family. I like that.I knew he couldn't be that bad ;)

A "nice Voldi" (seems like an oxymoron doesn't it?) is a truely AU concept. I personally don't think he's really Voldemort anymore... although I'll leave it up to the reader to decide who the heck is really in there. Is it young Tom having a second shot at life or maybe a Voldi-Harry hybrid? Or perhaps you are right, Voldemort is influenced by the desires/habits/former life of the body he took over. Hmmm. Just a little thought experiment. Thanks for the review!
What asn interesting take on things. Voldy survives in Harry's body, but with the body acquires a desire to lead Harry's life. And our favorite Bat is patiently waiting for his best life to happen. I really liked this fic.

I am really glad you enjoyed this piece. I left it open to interpretation whether it is Voldy influenced by Harry's body or a Voldie-Harry hybrid (or maybe even Tom getting his second shot at life). I couldn't resist putting a side dish of SS/HG in there!
Awesome, awesome, awesome!
