Feedback, part 1 - SPOILERS FOR ZINE FICS karasu_hime - The cover is so gorgeous! I love Severus' hair especially, and the patches on Remus' jeans. And the detail of the bags dropped under the bench! Lovely… also, you've done an amazing job putting the zine together – I know it was so much work, and you should be so proud of yourself! It's incredible. And Budding Romace is so adorable… I love Severus' coat!
xterm - It's probably a weird thing to say, but I love how big the sky is. It really overpowers Remus and Severus, and emphasizes the way they cling to each other, as if to hide within each others' arms. Also that they are tucked behind the stone fence, ducking down and holding onto each other. Wonderful!
firefly_quill - Hee! Such a fun piece! My favorite part was when Severus started faking Remus out with his eyes, and the end where he completely played on Remus' emotions (and then felt guilty)… *g* Love these lines…
“I, too, have a talent for ensnaring,” he announced.
Remus smiled at him again. “Yes,” he replied, equally as softly as before. “You do.”
isildurs_babe - Mmm, definitely up to no good! (While they obviously get down to no clothes ;) – Love the detail of Severus pointing his wand at the door… had experience of intruders before, perhaps?
busaikko - How can I love you when you break my heart so badly? *weeps* Oh, I so did not expect the ending, but it was heart-breaking and perfect at the same time. Oh, Liam… and farfar… and Remus. The last line… just amazing and perfect.
McKay – I love this plot, with Severus deciding "what the hell" is the answer to everything, including Remus. *g* I love how he gets the flat ready for Remus and buys a dog, just in case. Favorite lines:
and throw pillows for wherever it was that throw pillows went. He assumed the sofa, but he put one in a chair too, just to be on the safe side.
And the dog's name is hilarious and so very Severus! I really like how Severus becomes resigned to Remus having made the safe choice, and at least he has Roach and will be content, even if things would have been better together.
_hill - Mmm, I really like the comfortableness of the scene, and all the detail in it. Crookshanks on Remus' lap, the bookcase full of books, the view out the window, the peacock feathers in the vase… (and Sirius on the rug? ;)
