only you guys would make Harry's superman cape from the actual "Veil"!
Funnily enough, that idea didn't come along until we were already well into working out the plot. One of those bolts from the blue.
Speaking as someone who's only a few years younger than Snape, I can only give a hearty "Hear, Hear!" to your remarks about fics where Snape's written as practically geriatric.
Thank you so much for letting us know how you felt!
