The quintessential Gryffindor - brave, loyal and ultimately devoid of any shred of common sense.
I've been writing for few months, but nothing spectacular has leapt from my pen yet (in my opinion anyway).
I dabble in art and love making icons. For a few Knuts, I'm even open to requests.
Reviews for Melangell
"Penance was served, one drop at a time."
Indeed. That is a wonderful line. And, you most certainly be nominated for a Multifaceted Award.
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
I love the line. I checked Multifaceted out - there's no category that Melangell would comfortably fit into. It won't stand up to the pure smut in Aphrodisia and I don't know whether it is really dramatic enough for Intelligence. *shrugs* We'll see what happens come Tuesday. Chances are the slots will fill up so fast that I needn't worry about it at all. :)
I am catching up on my reading today; sorry it took so long, Tarah. Then I wrote a review and my battery died -- excuses, excuses!
I am hanging on your every word. And I love the way Severus is getting lost in his animal mentality. I am anxious to know what happens next. Hurry with the update!!
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Sorry - would have updated yesterday, but I was watching anime at my cousins' (they tempt me so!). As it turns out, I was busy beta-ing chapter 8 just as you left this review - so all's well that ends well, eh wot?
Argh! More cliff hangers than I can shake a stick at! (And I shake a very mean stick!) Poor bastard. He's obviously in for more trouble. More please! :)
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Oh c'mooooon! That wasn't a proper cliffhanger! I've spoilt you ladies rotten and now I need to make you hungry for the end. ...am I succeeding yet?
Woo Hoo! She save him, thank god! I wonder what he going to do when he's finally healed and she turns him back to normal. Ahh, yes, what is that quote "The course of true love never runs smooth" Well, this fic is certainly proof of that! Great chapter!!
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Pft, as if I would kill him off that way! :) Oh, I have some ideas about what they could do once he was feeling *cough* _up_ to it. *whistles innocently*
Awwwww...the poor bunny..um..I mean..Poor Severus...*giggle* I can't wait to see what you have planned next...PLEASE update soon!!!
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Man, I feel _so_so_ bad for leaving you guys hanging - it certainly wasn't my intent. I hope to get the next chapter up within the next 24hours or so. Thank you for reading! :)
Oh, that is an evil cliffhanger. Now I'm wondering just what kind of flying predator has grabbed Severus - the kind that will have Hagrid wanting to give it a cute name, or the type he will shoot without much hesitation?
Really like the way you write, and look forward to the next update.
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Wow, thank you. *scuffs dirt with her toe* Comments like that make me really want to give you folks my all. :) Unfortunately, the cliffhanger will only be resolved _tomorrow_ because I won't have time to beta chapter 7 today. *pouts* Thank you very much for reading. :)
OMG!! Don't even tell me a damn bird has got Severus hare! LOL Hopefully Hermione will be able to rescue him and maybe nurse him back to health!! I'm so loving this fic!
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
...okay, I won't. :) My lips are sealed! Thanks for dropping in again! :D You guys' reactions are totally making this a win-win experience!
Oh you are a teasing wench indeed! There he was, so glad that his ordeal was nearly over that he would have forgiven her for the haring (snort) experience, and you went and let him get talloned and perhaps whisked away! Naughty, evil, horrible, writer! Er...please post more. Quickly. :)
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
You want this... *dangles chapter 7* don't you? I can feel the impatience flowing through you. Take up your fic, strike me down and you will become more powerful than you could ever imagine. Tit for tat! Chapter for a chapter! :D Show me yours and I will show you mine. ;)
PlaidPooka's response: Evil. Wicked. Taunting. Wench! Dang it. You have yours written, you cheater, I know you do! Me I have to struggle through and force myself to write all that mansex! *sigh* And I've only got a couple paragraphs written of chapter six. *pout* *whine* :D
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
MADAM! You offend my fine Gryffindork sensibilities! Gryffindors do _not_ cheat! We just... bend the rules a little. :) Write faster! *crack whip* MANSEX!
"Graced us with her presence?" *cough* But, pardon me, I have been leaving reviews. Doomspark already has me jumping through hoops, but if you'd like I could do somersaults on a tightrope just for you. ;)
And, hey wait a minute! What did you just do to Severus?!
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Hehehe you know I
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
[Sorry blasted thing died on me!]
Hehehe you know I heart you (even if you won't do somersaults on a tightrope just for me! *sniffles hurt-like...*).
Oh... Severus? I killed him off, he has been a bad boy. *nods*
notsosaintly's response: LOL! Killed him off. That would be absofuckinglutely hilarious.
Hey, Tarah. I'd do somersaults for you. At least your reaction would be a thousand times more enthusiastic than our stoic Master's.
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Yeah I killed him off - think the fangirls will be disappointed? *ducks hurled objects*
Awesome! I love this more than I can say, Tarah. I am so happy you are writing another story.
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
*cough* Technically, I'm just finishing what I started - who knew you guys would like it? Consider me floored by the response!
(pssst... next chapter up in 5minutes - don't go anywhere now!)
Now, that's what I call a plot bunny! (Sorry, I've wanted to use that pun since I looked up the welsh words of the curse.)
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Bwahahaha!! *gives you a biscuit for figuring out the plot bunny behind the plot bunny!* Great job! And thanks for not ruining the surprise for the other folks. :D *will reward with a new chapter soon*
OMG!! She turned him into a hare! LOL This fic just gets better and better with every chapter!
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Yay! :D I hope I can live up to your praise with the remaining chapters. They are proving quite, if you'll excuse the pun, beastly to write! *scolds Hermione and Snape for being difficult*
Too much fun! I admit, the hare is much more interesting than a wombat. I just like to say the word wombat. Wombat. Yup, like that word. I'm glad Crooks didn't eat Severus! But what is lurking in the dark now?
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Wombat. Yes, it does have a certain ring to it, doesn't it? Wom-BAT. Ahem... Find out what is lurking in the dark in the next exciting chapter of Melangell! (Hey, I gotta keep you folks on your toes, otherwise you wouldn't read my drivel!)
This chapter was aptly named! These two really have to stop playing games before one or both seriously get hurt! Sometimes a bit of game playing is fun, but this is turning into something dangerous! These are two very powerful and highly passionate people and the stakes of this game just went up! excellent chapter!
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
We have a saying where I'm from: "When two hard heads clash, there is a hollow sound". Both will realize the true stakes before the end of this tale... or at least I hope they will - they are very stubborn! Thank you for a great review! :)
At once, I mean, not months later ;-)
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Well... *taps fingertips together* He wasn't doing anything _wrong_ per se... */devil's advocate* :D
So I had to log in now. Somehow I duplicated my previous reviews. (Okay, so I know how. Chalk it up to sleepiness.)
I have to go and translate that little hex. Very nice. No matter how much I'd like to see something hot and heavy between them, I think she should have hexed him into a giant prick to match his behaviour. ;) More updates soon, ya? (Did you get that hex from Doomspark, by the way?)
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Damn, you had me all excited about "all the reviews" in my inbox. *pouts*
ALAS!! If you translate the hex, you'll find that she didn't turn him into a giant prick... all's the more the pity, I say! I got the hex from Fangs, told him what I wanted it to do and he looked up the proper words and order for me - it isn't Latin. :)
Updates coming soon (just trying to get ahead with the end... which is turning out longer than I expected!).
notsosaintly's response: Heh. I know it's not Latin. In fact, I am pretty sure it is Cymraeg. *wink* (gonna have to look it up)
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
*gags NSS and locks her in the cupboard until the next chapter is uploaded*
Silly Hermione. She's been wanting him to pounce her for ages and when he finaly does she turns him into a wombat or something. Some folks simply can't make up their minds what they want! At any rate, I expect it will take Severus some time to forgive her for painfully wombatting him, if he ever does. *sigh* Yes, yes, he's a bad man and all. No means no and all that. But you can't blame a bloke for being confused when one moment a girl has her leg wrapped around you and the next she's pushing you away. I expect he'd forgive her for the Protego, he deserved it. But I imagine he'll be right cranky about the wombatting! :D
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Hermione is a _very_ confused girl. Had it been one of us, we would've known what to do, wouldn't we have?
A _wombat_?! BWAHAHAH! And yes, Severus is going to be a bit upset about it all, but I'm sure he'll think of _something_ to make himself feel better about it. *angelic smile*
Very good story! I hope you update soon. : )
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Thank you very much for reading! Chapter four should be up before the end of the day. :)
LOL!!! Fabulous! Just Fabulous! Severus is acting like a child whose had its favorite toy stolen!! Hermione is definitely giving our Potions professor a run for his money! Love it!
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
The heart and mind of a sadist resides underneath those brown curls. ;) Doesn't Severus just seem like the type to throw a tantrum when his best laid (*snicker* oooh he wishes) plans go awry?
ROFLMAO! Severus has gotten a taste of his own medicinal potion and it is bitter indeed! Way to go Hermione! the poor sod doesn't recognize Slytherin tactics when they bite him on the arse. He needs less patience and more shagging, I dare say! ;)
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Alas! Severus will be a very naughty boy INDEED in the next chapter - so no shagging for him just yet. I wonders who will crack first - Severus or my lovely readers? Bets are on!
LOL, awesome!
I absolutely love this story. Well done.
Tears, all soggy and sad, running down my face. The way you have Severus react to Albus's death is how I see him reacting. JKR knows not what she has done!
Response from Tarah_Fae (Author of Melangell)
Well, in a way, he did react that way. I reread The Flight of the Prince just the other day, and you could tell he was really torn up inside at what he had had to do. All I can think is that he had made a similar promise to Dumbledore as Harry (to follow orders without question). I hold very little hope of Snape surviving Book 7. :(
Anyway! Thank you for leaving a comment! :)
Well written, captivating story. It leaves me unsatisfied, though. There needs to be a resolution, so that they end equal. Finished like this, Severus has too much power over Hermione. He got away with murder, so to speak.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I started out on this story. Somebody (I can't remember who) recommeneded this, and I thought I'd give it a try. Poor Severus - all hurt and such. And poor Hermione for worrying so about him. Although I do think it's fitting that Hermione takes a turn as an animal - but I do wonder what her reaction will be when she gets turned back. You know, I have the urge to hug a bunny now - preferably black. I'm definitely favoriting this, and I'm going to recommend it to my cousin as well. Wonderful job - I really, REALLY enjoyed this.
