	I love the sketchy quality of this, and the black and white. Beautiful! (Reply to this)

Oh, this is just NEAT. Really unusual. I haven't read this particular fic of Femme's (although clearly I need to!), but I can get so much of the story from the way you "tell" it frame by frame here. I love the sketchy, gritty feel of this. I can really sense Harry's unhappiness in the right panels. And I adore your Snape in the center photo -- totally unpretty, wonderfully awful hair, thin... and NOT a foot taller than Harry. ;) Nice piece!

	Wow. That's lovely. The B&W is perfect, gives that angsty feel to it. Very nicely done. (Reply to this)

	I love pen and ink, or any black and white art, and this technique completely lends itself to heavy angst you're conveying. The medium, the heaviness and the thickness of the pen strokes gives gravitas to the darker emotions going on in the images. I completely adore these "snippets". Well done. (Reply to this)

Oh, my God--where do I begin? I LOVE this SO much, dear artist.

I'm absolutely floored that you chose to illustrate that particular story as it has a special place in my heart for familial reasons. I adore the sketchy, dark quality--it's perfect for the story--and the composition is just fantastic. I especially love how everything's centered around that profile of Snape and Harry. So gorgeous. (And dear God, Snape in the rain? Is just how I pictured him.)

Thank you so much, really. I'm completely thrilled, and I can't wait to find out who you are and express my delight properly. :D

	You've definitely made me want to read this story. Snape's face is so arresting, the eyes especially. (Reply to this)

	There's just so much story in these panels. I love L'Ouragan, and you've made me want to read it again. Especially that centre piece where they're both looking at each other -- all that intensity. Nicely done. (Reply to this)
