Thank you! *beams*

Thank you! *beams*

*grins*As always I'm madly glad that you liked that! I was a bit nervous about leaving the dress to the reader's imagination but it seems to have worked and I'm just thrilled. I'd tried a similar stunt in another fandom... hmm... maybe the Potterverse is just smarter, lmao! Only kidding, but I really am pleased.

I read something recently that was extremely well written but that happened to describe a particular piece of clothing in some detail, and the description just wasn't doing it for me.  It took me right out of the story, because my mind was struggling to picture what in heaven's name she was trying to to talk about.  It was probably something quite beautiful in her mind, but she somehow couldn't convey it to me, and all I was getting sounded like a "Project Discovery" disaster.

And I do believe you're right about Potterverse readers, especially those in this particulat ship - I know the writing for these two smart people is usually very smart, which is why I read so much of it.  Thanks for continuing a proud tradition!

That's what always worries me when it comes to aesthetics when you write: just for a start, my idea of what's lovely and your idea of what's lovely just aren't (probably) going to be the same thing. Then there's always the risk of sounding like a textbook (eeeh, the same old problem with smut - who wants to end up with an "insert A into B" type thing?). I have to agree with you that HGSS shippers do seem on the whole to be up there with the brains, lol! Erm, not that I'm saying I'm brilliant but, eh, you know what I mean. I suppose I've noticed that there seem to be real personality differences between the different pairing-supporters - just look at the difference between HGSS and HGDM followers. Someone should write a thesis on it! Anyway... thanks for the compliment of considering me continuing the "proud tradition"! I'm blushing all over!!

Your sigh of contentment is music to my ears! *hugs*

*pats

's face so it doesn't hurt*And... of course they do! House-elves are very wise little fellows you know! They know what's good for our boy even if he doesn't! LOL.

*hugs*

Thank you so very much!!

*HUGS* and thank you!

Weee, thanks! (P.S. Oh, my! I don't think I've every looked at the emoticons here properly before. LOVE the dudes with the pitchforks, lol!)

Oh, I'm particularly glad that you said that! I just wasn't sure I could pull off smut in drabble yet and so... I'm relieved that you think it was a nice spot to end it. *hugs*

*bounces happily*Thanks! So glad you liked it!

Awwww.... *sighs too*

Aw, thank you so very much! I'm so glad you liked it and I'm over the moon about your fluffiness!! (That sounds weird... but you know what I mean!) *HUGS*

Thanks!

I... cannot believe how lovely everyone has been about this set of drabble! Thanks so much! Big hugs, Jen.

You're sweet too! *hugs* Jen.

Thanks!!!

Ohhhhh, you beautiful person!! Thank you so much for the encouragement, it's priceless. *big hugs* Jen.

*smiles back*

I doubt many people have, poor Minty, lol!

An image I was rather fond of imagining myself, if I may say so myself. More the Severus stretching and less the elf, ahem... Poor Minty. *grins*

Hello, Poppet, fancy meeting you here! *grins*

Hmm, it is rather a lovely one. It's the lovely thing about this pair, you can put all sorts of lofty delightful nonsense in their mouths and not make it too preposterous. I mean, could you imagine that with ickle Ronnikins? *laughs*

You make an excellent point. 

Oh, I'm glad you liked that! Aesthetics are so very individual, soooo, I chickened out and let everyone imagine what they wished and it seems to have worked!!

Oh, I'm glad that's a good thing! *grins happily*

*grins* Things to tend to get lost (at least as far as my lame little brain can follow them) over at gs100... besides, I like the reviews, LOL!
