Where do you come up with these strange ideas? Did this plot bunny need to be exorcised or what?!

Response from a_bees_buzz (Author of Diving for Dunderheads)

Actually, this was a spin-off from an extended conversation by other people about the meaning of "AU". They were talking about the difference between tweaking one little detail of canon and extreme AU, which someone described as "everyone's penguins." I read that phrase and started typing. I've tried to find that discussion again so I can credit whoever it was who said that, but I didn't find it.

Just what I needed to brighten my day. I'd love to see this as a cartoon. My only problem is if Sev is a mammal and Hermione is a bird, there is no possiblity for a future 'ship.'

Response from a_bees_buzz (Author of Diving for Dunderheads)

See, there you're thinking like a Muggle. If all the students are fairy penguins, and all the adults aren't, then clearly these are magical penguins that grow up to take other forms. I wonder if otters and walruses are compatible species?

I would absolutely adore a cartoon of this. If I had any art skills at all, I'd try to do one.

OMG! Crack-fic at it's most bizarre! Never contemplated this idea before...and don't know that I will ever again. ;)

Response from a_bees_buzz (Author of Diving for Dunderheads)

It was inspired by a conversation about the range of meaning of "AU", from changing one tiny little detail (like, for example, Severus dying) to "everyone's penguins." I read that line and this happened.

Response from queenp (Reviewer)

I collect penguins, so when I saw the summary, I couldn't resist watching. I couldn't stop laughing and imagining everyone as you described them.

So would Mrs. Norris be a catfish?

Response from a_bees_buzz (Author of Diving for Dunderheads)

Of course. Though Tonks would be a chameleon, and not fishy at all.

Response from a_bees_buzz (Author of Diving for Dunderheads)

Thus answering the question of who really is the walrus. Coo Coo Ka Choo.

Glad I could make you laugh.

Response from Anathema (Reviewer)

Where the hell does that "Coo Coo Ka Choo" thing orginates from, anyway?!?My husband is driving me insane with that one. He has the habit of throwing in odd exclamations every once in a while, especialy when I'm trying to read in peace.

Response from a_bees_buzz (Author of Diving for Dunderheads)

It's a Beatle's song - "I am the egg man, I am the walrus, Coo coo ka choo." Then the fans started arguing about who was the walrus, Paul or John. Sorry about that, I was being obscure.

Haha, this is hilarious! Sooo random. I like the idea of Albus as an Emperor Penguin, and Walrus!Snape. The Dark Shark? *giggles*

Response from a_bees_buzz (Author of Diving for Dunderheads)

I had fun working out what sort of creature each character should be. I'm glad you liked my choices.

Thanks for reviewing.

yeah, ok, this was hilarious. completely unexpected and uncontemplated, but hilarious. but i have a really difficult time imagining severus as anything fat. that being said, i think he deserves more than being relegated to the role of an eel...hmm...
