I'm loving this story, and I like the way your writing Neville, with just enough of his... goofishness to be convincing, but not making him a complete dunder. I'd really love to read the rest of this story! *sighs* yet another fanfic I'll be obsessivly checking on
Dude! I have loved this story from the beginning, but you have to be more on the ball with the updates!
really funny and well written. you had me laughing out loud. Ah the correct sentence is: "è possibile che ABBIA tendenze omossesuali?" trust me: I am Italian!
great. you write well
just so you know...after a certian point, I just lumped this in
with the fics I check every day to see if they're updated...and the
ONLY one not on LJ...(But the link is on my "open" LJ anyway...)
Author's Response: I'm flattered you liked my story enough to check it every day... and I'm really sorry it's taken so long for me to update. Uni has been taking up all spare time and brain power, but it will be over next week, and I'll post another chapter asap.
Lol, you know, I just started up on LJ, but I must be the least computer literate person ever, because I have no idea how to post stories on it. *hangs head in shame* When I figure it out, I'll post it there as well.
Thanks for the comment. :)
Great story, lots of depth added to Neville and I like the fine details, such as when Neville was repotting the plants. How many chapters do you anticipate?
Author's Response: Thank you very much! Umm... good question, lol. Most likely either two or three more chapters. I'm really sorry I haven't updated in months; I'll be done with finals next week. This semester has been hell, but it's almost over, and then I can write!
Bwa hahaha! Very sweet and enjoyable, although I'm a bit ripped it's still a WIP.
Your Ron and Hermione are dead-on speech wise. Well done.
I also quite enjoyed the wank scenes. And you're right, Neville is waaay too fun to screw with! heehee
I anxiously await the next chapter. Oh and BTW, we share Hells as a beta! have you heard from her? My last message from her was that she was ill, but I've not heard from her since, and that was over a week ago! Please let me know, because I am starting to worry about her! See you at Illusions,
Tripp
Author's Response: Thanks tripp. It was a stretch for me to write Ron and Hermione bickering, and I'm glad you thought I pulled it off. I know, I probably shouldn't have posted it until it was finished, but what's done is done. Except for my story, which is not done. No, I haven't heard from Hells for about a month, and I'm a bit worried as well. I liked/was disturbed by/ your Snilch. *shudders*. Whatever will you come up with next?
I heart Hermione. She's so fun!! :-D And silly Neville, denying who he really is. Though, with all the attention the boy pays to Ginny's breasts, he moight be bi! :-D
Author's Response: Isn't true how we're all silly at times? Neville still has much to go through; if he didn't I wouldn't have much of a story! Thanks for the kind reviews!
Someone recced this on one of the lists I belong to, and I had to give it a shot, because...NEVILLE! He's my little woobie. This is really great, and I can't wait to see what happens next, and who Neville ends up with, because my little woobie deserves happiness! This line made me giggle so much: "He asked Hermione about it, and she said Muggles had been doing it for years, something to do with jean therapy, but why trousers needed counselling Neville didn’t know." So funny!
Author's Response: Lol, thanks for the review. Neville has so much potential, it's a wonder there isn't more fics about him out there. *Giggle* yeah, that was one of my personal favorite lines from the first chapter. I'm very glad you like it, and thanks for the review!
Like the story so far, but what the heck is up with Granger? She isn't even a friend to Neville, she needs to mind her own business. Look forward to more.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I don't have anything against Hermione, but in life there are friends (or good acquaintances) who make mistakes. She genuinely wanted to help, but meddles in Neville's business a bit too far, I agree. It helps move the story along, although it does upset Neville something awful. Glad you like it!
Whaaaaat? Noooo, where's the rest of it? You are going to finish this, aren't you? Because I've certainly been sucked in. I've always thought Neville so unexplored, but I have this feeling that he's to play some crucial role in future canon. I liked how you took you time in your characterization of him--his insecurities over his appearance and ablilities, his confliction over his parents, but especially intriguing were his feelings about Harry and his "dead" parents, and his resentments over his treatment by Snape. Makes me wonder which one of these two he's going to latch on to under the effects of (ha ha) the Yin Yang Whoo-ah.. HIs decision to test for the twins is certainly believable, given his mindset here. And I loved your attention to detail in the scene where he's repotting the sneezewort, too. Really well done, Gloredhel. I rarely read Neville fics, for the precise reason that his underdevelopment in both canon and fandom has left me feeiling rather luke-warm about him. This was a nicely done, well-thought out characterization that's managed to give him depth in the space of two chapters. I sincerely hope you continue.
Author's Response: Raewhit, I don't think you know how much this made my day. Thank you so much for such a well-though out review. A few weeks ago I had mostly given up on the story, and just got caught up in school and work. I do have the third chapter mostly done, so I'll send it in to my beta, and see what she thinks. I'm so glad you liked my characterization of Neville. He'd been one of my favorite characters even before OotP, and wanted to give him some of the exposure he deserved.
Go Neville, you bad thing... this is just what Our Nev needs - glad he's gonna get some. Thanks.
Author's Response: Believe me, I want him to get laid just as much as you do, and I'll see to it that he does, lol. Thanks for the review!
Great fic!!! Can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! I can't wait to update either! I suppose I should be working on that...
W00T! First review!!!!
Cute story. I like what you are doing with Neville, especially the bit about wishing his parents were dead. That was heartbreaking and, IMO, true to the charecter. I found his shock at seeing Harry in a sexual way a little ridiculous, considering he's 17 in the story. I mean, he would have started fantasizing long before this, right?
Any how, am really looking forward to the rest of this.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! You’re my first, and you were so gentle! Lol, anyway, you do have a point. Essentially, Neville is one repressed guy. Harry isn’t the first person he’s been attracted to, only the first specific guy in his acquaintance. His latent sexuality will be explored much further in the next chapter, and hopefully will persuade you to go along with my little deviation from canon.
Honestly, I wanted this to be set in either their fifth or sixth year, but the new rules on ages kept me from doing that. I suppose I’m still thinking of them as either fifteen or sixteen years old. They just grow up so fast! Thanks again for your review.
