I have to apologize to everyone, period. Real life swallowed me whole, as I have been struggling to make a living writing original fiction over the last 8 years. It has not been easy, & has been complicated by health issues. I hope people can forgive my long silences. Trying to make enough money to live on from writing is a lot harder--waaaay harder--than it looks. (At least I didn't leave any posted fanfics unfinished.)
Anyhoo...
These stories are works of parody (& thus are allowable under US law), and are not written for profit. Just for fun. I'm not making any money off of any fanfics, nor will I ever. I'm just playing around in other writers' universes.
...I am, however, making something of a living off my own stories. (If anyone wants to play around in my universes, you may visit my website, www.jeanjohnson.net, and look up my policy on Fanfics & Fanarts. It's reasonable enough and fairly easy to follow, too...)

Lol, I know what you mean...though it's not meant in quite this way, of course...~Lotm
Love it! I am looking forward to more, as usual you write the most amazing and intriguing stories! My gratitude to you and all good authors, as always.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
*purrrrrrs, to be considered in such good company...*~Lotm
Perfection! I am really in love with this story. So hilarious.
Well, this is just a delightful story! I can't wait to continue on with HedonistCat!Snape, unfortunately it is rather late for me and I really should be off to bed. I have bookmarked this and shall return as soon as I can on the morrow. I'm very curious to know whether Minerva has ever met Cat!Snape before. Not to mention how she feels about NotCat!Snape after recent events.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
Mweeheehee, you'll see!~Lotm
A multi-chaptered story from LOTM! I can't wait to see how things will unfold.
This is just a wonderful story; so much more interesting when you take it slow and realistic. Now I can look forward to Severus-in-the-shower, too. And where do I find a cat like that? :)
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
As soon as I find one...I'll inquire about a second one for you.~Lotm
Dear LOTM,
I want to tell you how much I've enjoyed your stories. I like your style -- a balanced combination of humor, plot and romance, with a sprinkling (or more, depending) of smut. I also like the way you keep the characters *in character* for the most part, especially Snape. You also do a nice job inventing magic -- the accident to Snape in this fic is very creative.
I like this story because I'm a "cat person" so it made me laugh. I also like your Boardwalk series. But I must say my all time favorite is "Frogs in Winter" -- I can't remember the number -- it's the one with the interesting combo of alcohol and Veritaserum. I've read that story multiple times and it still makes me laugh out loud. In fact, I had my husband read it to explain why I was nearly incoherent with giggles when I was trying to explain it to him (he is not a HP fan fic guy but bore with me and agreed it was quite funny).
I'm not good about posting reviews, so I did want to take this chance to thank you for the many hours of reading pleasure you have given me.
I am glad to hear that this story is completed and will look forward to reading the rest.

That would be Frogs In Winter 01...and I'm glad even your husband enjoyed the humor in it. i literally pulled three muscles in my back while writing it, the story made ME laugh that hard...And I'm glad I could entertain you so well! *hugs*~Lotm

Hello again ...
After posting the above review, I went and re-read FIW 01 again.
I've had "naked naked naked", "a wirebliskey fog of fust and lindless mantasy" and, of course, "perfect puddings of deliciousness" going through my head all morning. Not to mention the hangover description!
hee hee.

*sigh*.
Oh, thank you, thank you for a bright spot in a dim week. (wipes drool off monitor)
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
Not responsible for drool on computers. *hands you a wet-nap and a couple paper towels*~Lotm
Oh, I do love Cat!Snape. I'm almost sorry Hermione figured it out. Things were going so swimmingly for a good while there. Trust Crooks, Hermione. There's a good girl. Thanks for a wonderful first chapter!
Oh, I absolutely love it! I have to say that I missed this when it first started! I spent ALL of my free time today getting caught up. It was time well spent. What wonderful humor. You have done a wonderful job transposing Severus' personality into a cat's. They are so arrogant anyway. It is absolutely perfect!
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
It "first started" late last night when I posted the first 6 chapters all at once. The story is complete, and I'll post the remaining chapters..."soon".~Lotmwho is now back to working on her original stuff
OK, I just read that all at once. I loved it. It is really enjoyable. I know it is a parody, but honestly, it is one of the most fun reads I've had in a while.
I love this story! I laughed, cried and smiled and I can't wait to see more.
Man, that's annoying! I need the next chapter! I know I'm like Hermione, in that I like the smutty parts of the stories the best, but that little scene in the kitchen elevated my blood pressure, sped up my pulse, gave me goosebumps and made me shiver with wonder/excitement/arousement. A work of art, that was. There are only a few other stories that have managed to make me do that, and two of them were yours. (the names, unfortunately, escape me at present)
I will be waiting extremely impatiently for the next chapter, and I'm sure I will keep myself awake remembering their exchanges. Even their arguments seem to have sexual tension. And the way they went on for paragraphs about their future, and the potions and boxes. . . that was just wonderfully hilarious. I have, many times, in fact, yearned for a quiet night on the couch, cuddled up to the man I love, listenening to his breathing as I lean against his chest, reading a good book and talking it over after. That would be pure bliss for me. Though preferrably, the sex would be good, too.
Anyway, the story (or what there is of it so far) is terrific, and I'm going to need an extra long shower (wink wink) before I go to bed.

Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
Have fun stormin' the shower!~Lotm
I love love love it! I hope there's more coming soon? Pretty please say yes. I think between this, Chocolate Enchantment, and The Love You Take, I might have enough to keep myself occupied till my ultrasound if you guys all update regularly. I need distraction, please help! :P Again, wonderful, thanks so much!
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
This one is complete. The rest of the chapters will be posted "soon"...~Lotm
Response from IndigoAngel (Reviewer)
Oh bless your heart! I won't even pester you about when soon will be :) I love when stories are already completed!
Oh! How can you stop at the shower bit? I love the shower bits!I really enjoy reading your fics, they have a certain individualism that seperates them from all the other SS/HG fanfic out there. And I know I can always rely on you for some steamy scenes.My thanks to a much loved Lady are in order I believe.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
How can I stop there? Would the phrase "Mueheheheh" be an adequate answer? (Or at least an apropriate one...)*cuddlehugs*~Lotm
I just gotta know, do you think Merlin actually WORE undershorts and if so why purple? This is HOT and Sexy!! You rock my work Huzzah to my fair Lady!
What-- you couldn't afford to hire the pink tutooed elephants on rollarskates again to make the possible sqeak? Geesh, getting cheap in your old age my lady? Heehee just kidding, I suppose the ostrich and elephants were out on another job. . . .
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
The ostrich (Priscilla) is on tour in Australia, and the elephants were still hung over from New Year's.~Lotm
I just love this story! The cat wiev from the start was brilliant!
oh goody baths or is that showers oh who care naked Severus either way is truly hot. I hope you give very good details.
finally an author who knows how to write a decent lenght chapter. and every chapter is go and long. terrific. you are truly a brilliant author.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
LMAO--I usually get complaints that my chapters are too long! *huggles*~Lotm
oh damn did her toes curl? that's awful that her aunt died. now what are they going to do?
This story was so .. well, enjoyable, that I took a few extra (sneaky) breaks to read this at work today! Somehow you again managed to make this work; a story with a lovely romance and relationship developing without veering wildly out of character for either of them. In fact, I love how the vulnerable part of Snape's character peeks through, without making him look like a wimp.I can't wait to read more! :)
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
What can I say? I'm a die-hard romantic! (Who likes her men to be strong, yet loving in the end...)~Lotm
oh honey if you only knew the loving he wants to give you. you'd never want to be human again unless his willing to do some loving that way too.
This is such a lovely story! I don't know why you have hardly any reviews. I love the interactions between Severus-Cat and Hermione, and the relationship you have built between them is sweet, yet you have managed to keep them both in character at the same time. I'm looking forward to more! :)
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
I hardly have any reviews because I only posted it last night, in the middle of the night. We'll see if word gets around tonight... And I did struggle to keep them in-character!~Lotm
Response from Sporky1126 (Reviewer)
Oh. Well, that's okay then. I thought this story was being neglected, and that would have been an outrage. ;)
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
Nope, it's completed. But I didn't click on the "completed" thingy because not all of the chapters are up, and the last time I did that, someone complained that not all the chapters were up, and it ended in a "bad" spot (for being a supposedly "completed" spot.)~Lotm
Likes being pampered huh. Who would have thought. I'm sure there is plenty of ladies out there who'd be willing to help with that.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Spinster)
Me me me me me! *immediately places her name directly below Hermione's, on the verrrrry slim offchance that she'll give the author of this fanfic a shot at pampering him...which isn't probable, but a girl can still hope!*~Lotm
