  1. Review reply to Tamsyn Riddle: I'm glad you got an eargasm, Tamsyn. XDD Review reply to Ickle Tommiekins: Allie, stop letting F!T use the computer. xxp
  2. Review reply to TomTiddle: *snnnrks* Aww ... you poor thing. Here, have a Fluffy!Tom to support you in your dreadful state of emoness. He can write poems, serenade you, bring you flowers, little hearts and pink teddy bears, and simply be there for you with his emo!shoulder to cry on. Wait, why are you running away now? You're upsetting F!T. Oh great, now HE cries, and I'm stuck with him. (I knew world hunger wasn't that difficult to solve as some say. *tiptoes away while cackling maniacally because that's what evil people do*) Hmmm... so begging, eh? Well ... waaaaaaitiiiiiiiing! ;P Actually, I finished the first draft of the next chapter. I just have a RL emergency at the moment that takes precedent, but I'm hoping that will be resolved on Thursday so I can finish the chapter with the usual polishing and tweaking and editing. Oh yes, it's definitely harassment. How dare you tell me you like my story and hope for an update! Shame on you! I shall send the Feds on you (since clearly they're available for everything these days) and you'll be sorry you ever dared to leave a review!!! You're welcome, and I thank you for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys
  3. Review reply to sbrande: Thank you. I'm glad you like the story. As to how she's getting out of it, well, that's a question that can be read in multiple ways: out of Voldemort's clutches, out of the situation with her friends, out of her job problems, et cetera. While I'm just giving you this to think about, too: Should your question have been how or if? XP I'm working hard on the next chapter. I've finished the first two scenes and am working on the third now. Depending on how much words that takes and where it fits better, I'll decide on scene four later. So if four gets added to the next chapter, too, it will take me a tad longer to finish. But right now, I'm guessing it'll be the three scenes and I hope to get those three done this week. *fingers crossed* Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys
  4. Review reply to TheShadowFox: "I'm loving the story so far, and I've only come to chapter 16. The only thing is, there is no chapter 17...there are TWO chapter 16's, both identical, and then it goes to chapter 18..and I am at a total loss of the story..it does not match up with chapter 16. I am wondering where 17 disappeared to?" Oh, my bad. I must have erred when I was in the process of fixing the wall of text and pasted the wrong chapter there. I fixed it now. Chapter 17 is back. Thanks for warning me. xx Nerys
  5. Oh well, it was too good to be true anyway, I suppose. XD If I copy the text of a chapter now visible on the website and paste that into the box, will that do the trick, too? Or will I copy the wrong codes along with it? I'm asking because of one story I seem to not have all the chapters saved in Word, and since I have two versions of that story, it's not only the chapters with smut that are different. *head-desks*
  6. Oh wow, you're much faster than me. I was about halfway through and wanted to continue editing my chapters, but when I got there, it was already back to normal. Thanks a lot.
  7. AAAAAAAAAAH! I saved all the AFFnet adult chapters in Word with the < i > codes in them, which I now have to all delete out of there because they stay visible. *head-desks* Yeah, yeah, I can hear you laughing all the way over here. XD Then again, you have an entire database to go through, so I can laugh right back at ya. We can LOL about this together. *cough, cough* But I did one story, got it back to normal and am on to the next one. I'm sure readers can wait a couple of days for those old stories. I'm writing an obscure pairing anyway.
  8. Okaaay, I'll just pretend to understand that techno mumbo jumbo by nodding vigorously and trying to look smart. XD However, I have been uploading all my chapters the same way (copied text from Word into the box here) and I noticed that most chapters have pasted together while others (in the same story, for instance prisoner only have ch. 1 and 2) haven't. If I (with my amazing tech skills) try to change it, can I just delete what's in the box now and copy the doc that's in Word and put that there, or will that not help? Sorry for my amazing knowledge. Eh, it's a miracle I got something uploaded in the first place. XD
  9. Is there something I, as an author, can do to fix it? So you don't have to do it all. I'm hesistant to touch the chapters myself in case I make it worse for you.
  10. Well, Miya, you're forgetting that Alassea used to have the last name of a certain other hugger, so maybe she can get away with it. Although I think the awkwardness will be more LV yelling: "SOMEONE GET HER OFF ME!!!" while Alassea uses all her limbs to cling on. XDDD
  11. Review reply to scarletwitchextreme: "HOT AND NAUGHTY< SOOOO HAWT AND NAUGHTY....Love this story, cant wait for an update." I'm working on it. However, since the next chapter won't have any direct interaction between Tom and Hermione, my muse danced away to MOM2 where they're lying in bed together. I wonder why. *snnnrks* I'm happy to hear you find it hot, HAWT and naughty, I do my best. XD Thanks for reading and reviewing once more, xx Nerys
  12. Review reply to scarletwitchextreme: "omggggg i wish this had a sequel sooo epic" LOL. There may be a future one-shot coming. MAY. So no promise. I got some ideas, but I'm working on MOM2 and Prisoner now and want to focus on finishing those two first. Anyway, I'm glad you liked it that much. Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys
  13. I'm using my twitter account since I don't have a personal site. I was considering removing all chapters on my fanfics and temporarily leaving the message "stop sopa" instead, but the amount of work involved would be beyond my lazy capabilities, so I'll just tweet away instead. Damn US congress and Hollywood for screwing over the entire world. The implications of this bill are so far reaching that it completely loses sight of its objective. It's at its core a bill about censorship, not protecting copyright owners against piracy. But it's weirdly and disturbingly interesting to see Hollywood lobbyists go all McCarthy on the internet. And it's a good example how money makes bills instead of the public, because the majority of US citizens (Republican and Democrats) are against this. BTW. Will AFFnet be going dark, too?
  14. Hmmm... another option is that he's just pissed that you didn't do as he "required" of you (rewrite the chapter) and thus is ignoring you from now on. It's what I call the Beta God Complex. They forget that they're only there to support the writer and think everything should go as they see fit. My professional editor always snorts about most fanfic's betas because she finds them to intrusive. I've also seen betas insulted when an author post a chapter before they've gone over it, and then, vanish without a word. So, that could be an issue, too, if you didn't discuss this with him prior to him becoming your beta (and sometimes even though you did). Some betas have really long toes. I recommend trying to find a new beta even though it's not what you want to hear. Sure, he got the first chapter back promptly, but that's basically always the case. You can't determine if someone's a reliable, good beta based on one single chapter - no matter how good that chapter was done and how helpful the advice given. I think this long wait without giving you a notice is a warning sign you shouldn't ignore. You could send an email asking if something is the matter (just to make sure there really aren't any RL issues; although no RL issue takes up so much time that he couldn't have send you a short email explaining the delay), but I reckon you already did that and didn't get an answer back then either. So ... I'm afraid the dreaded task of looking for a new beta lies ahead of you anyway.
  15. Happy New Year fellow Tomione lovers: http://s1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff438/daxodokira/?action=view&current=Esther.gif
  16. Review reply to reriddle: I'm glad you're having fun with the way I handle Tom and Hermione's relationship. I'm having equal amounts of fun writing it, so it's good to know it's enjoyable to read as well. And I couldn't write Hermione as some weak damsel-in-distress. It's not who she is. I don't mind to add or omit a couple of characteristics to her personality, but I want her to remain visible as Hermione. So to me, that means she has to "kick arse" at times, both figuratively and literally. I'm glad to hear you love my stories. Thank you for the compliment. And it's never cheesy to hear that someone enjoys your writings. It always brightens my day and makes me smile. So thank you for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys
  17. The Apprentice review reply to moor: Thank you for the kind compliments. I'm currently in the process of finishing "the prisoner" first, but after that, I'll go back to MOM2 and "the apprentice". Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys
  18. Review reply to FlyHitsWindow: *sniggers* It's my pleasure. Somehow, that break-up just kept being pushed back and back with each chapter I wrote, so I was delighted I could finally write it. And yes, that was a really nasty break-up. Both parties aiming to hurt the other as only people who know each other well can, and of course, since Hermione is verbally stronger, her hits were too. Indeed, I was going for loads of build-up, pent-up anger and frustration that now all at once gets lashed out in a moment when one never does anything thoughtfully or with care. So, yes, Hermione was callous and cold to Ron even though she basically is more at fault due to being the one who cheated in the relationship. But I'm not trying to win her popularity prizes with this fic. And like you said, the guiltier party often strikes out more. Besides, Hermione's always had a nasty streak. Usually it's aimed at people we could care less about; however, this time poor Ron is it's target. Not that Tomione readers really care much about him either. hahahha! You're welcome. Shirtless Tom was entirely my pleasure to write. *sniggers* And ... her caring for Tom who's wounded is very telling, too, since she left Ron lying there. I was surprised no one so far mentioned anything about that. It also shows that her previous internal monologue might not be quite the truth either. Yep, I agree that the smut didn't fit there. I had fun writing it the first time around; but the second time, it completely blocked my muse and I couldn't get that chapter written until I realised, it's weird for them to go around screwing each other when outside of Azkaban there are some real emergencies to attend to. It's not their style. After I realised that, the chapter wrote itself again. Oh, I'm glad the baby made sense now. *wipes forehead* Hmmm... actually ... *spoiler alert* the only thing that's visible on the certificate is that Moirae created the marriage. There are no terms or conditions visible on the doc. However, Moirae is known and wanted for creating marriage bonds without both parties permission or will, so ... Harry at first assumed Riddle forced Hermione into it and he basically blames Katie for putting Hermione in the line of fire, there. However, Hermione's reactions made him wonder what was really going on, but he wants to hear her side of things first. Harry and Hermione have always been such close friends and been there for each other through everything. I just couldn't see Harry forget about that and blow up at her over this. I figured he'd see her as the victim. Oooh ... oopsi. *whistles innocently* Thanks, I prefer replying here. I don't have to keep the length of the reply so much in mind, because I'm not a fan of long A/Ns either. It's why I started to delete A/Ns in old chapters once enough time had passed for people to read my response to their anon review. Thanks you for reading and reviewing. I'm nearly done with the next MOM2 chapter, so that one will be updated next. xx Nerys
  19. Review reply to Allison: Well, I figured Harry'd want to hear her side of things, too. Plus, he's always been a good friend to her and she to him, so that doesn't just vanish - no matter how hard Riddle would like that. XD Awww ... poor Ron; he's hurt and lashing out (for which I gave him quite understandable reasons), and still he gets the "douche" card. He can never win. Oh, I'll definitely write more and there will be sexytimes, although probably not in the next chapter (I don't think I've room for smut there). Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys
  20. Review reply to MalfoysBitch: I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter/story. Hmmm... you'll see what Harry will do in the next chapter; his discussion with Hermione isn't done yet. And I'll do my best to update asap. Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys
  21. Review reply to Alassea Riddle: *wipes forehead* Fortunately, you have no problem rereading. Otherwise, I would've missed out on such an epic review. "YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHH! TWO of my 5 (or was it 7?) favorite Tomione stories have been updated today! And yesterday it was one! That was such a relief after so many years (or was it months? xD) without any of you updating (besides SiR's new fic, that is)." *sniggers* Months, years, millennia ... who knows? ;P But YEEEEAAHH! This one is included in one of your favourite Tomiones. *does a little dance* "I loooooooooooooooooooooooved that this was so Tomione filled *_____*" - It was him without his shirt, just admit it. No need to pretend to care about Hermione being there. "*evil cackle* Hermione was sooo bad-ass, she was almost scary." - Yes, she's not the paragon of virtue in this fic. Chapter one did start giving the reader the information she'd tried to commit a cold-blooded murder already; sure, loads of us will ignore that, considering the target was Voldemort, but she's gone there and has had the presence of mind to make sure to erase her tracks. So, it wasn't a heat of the moment thing either. It was premeditated, so murder one. "But, dearest Ickle Ronniekins, she's MARRIED to Tom, therefore, not a whore, of course unless she began sleeping with some others... She slept with him while she was married to you? Well, that doesn't count. You're just not good enough. (Daaaamn, I'm in a weird mood today!)" - *snnnrks* Awww... poor Ron never counts, does he? Even when he's the victim, people still snigger and mock at his misfortune. Perhaps I should put a warning at the start of this fic: Beware of feeling sorry for Ron? Ermmm... Yeah riiiight. XD "So, back to the scary-Hermione-thingy... I was almost feeling bad for Ron. Almost." - Then again, maybe I should. Muahahahahaa! Nah, you're entitled to feel sorry for Ron in this fic. He doesn't deserve what Hermione did to him; no matter that he also has a part in the failing of their marriage, he's not the one who cheated. And on top of that, he gets the full load of all the build-up frustration of years and years of silence. Sure, he returns the viciousness, but he's not as strong with words as Hermione. "It's kinda ironic he said he wanted a divorce, when they already had one, but he didn't know that ofc." - Yes, I really enjoyed writing that. "A shirtless Tom.. yummy! I can imagine THAT! You made the perfect description of his body, it almost had me drooling. *sigh* So of course I had to squee instead ;D" - Glad to be of service. "Oh, she really did some damage. Thank Merlin, she had the Essence of Dittany. Pfeeww... but he didn't punish her for doing that! I guess he was more concerned for her well being then (What? Why are you looking at me like that? He DID treat her LOADS better than he normally would? )" - *muffled laughter behind hand* I wasn't looking at you like that at all! *innocent expression* Nope, not at all. *pushes head in pillow to muffle the even louder laughter* What'd you mean, you don't believe me? *pouts* "Iris Parkinson? Now WHERE did I hear that name? Hmm? Oh yeah, the "veela-like Slytherin Princess" in SiT, who was dubbed "The Cow"." - Indeed, nice catch. I couldn't resist the little cameo for SIT's Iris. She was just the type I was envisioning Tom would want to prevent getting stuck having babies with. Although I think if it had happened, his solution would be to get everyone's sympathy at the funeral of his soon-to-be-wife and unborn child after they had a sad, sudden and unfortunate "accident/illness". "That was a hilarious thing about him being sterile and her trying to get pregnant with him. LOL! xD New body, new functions, my dears " - I know. I'm still in hiding. *shivers in bunker* he's not amused. "Not surprising that it didn't work for her, cause I never really thought Parkinson would succeed with anything but giving people rainbow boils *snorts*" - Serp is in total agreement with you here. XD "Hah, soon we'll be greeted with a new Althea, no? xD (Without the fairy-thing ofc xD)" - Well, 59% chance, so it could still be a boy, too. And you're assuming everything will work out okay, I see. Pregnancy is risky. *nerys tiptoes away now* "I somehow pity Moirae... I mean... Hermione can be quite scary "'Oh yes, that bitch is mine,' Hermione replied vengefully". Yep, I wouldn't want to be in her shoes, when hell breaks loose (uh, that rhymes!)" - Me neither. Run, poor Moirae, RUN! "" Tihihihihihihi. I suppose that will lead to "something" when she's allowed to see him again? ;-)" - SPOILERS! Ssshhhh.... "That was pretty clear what it was about, when the howler landed xD I did have this weird feeling about the papers, but never thought much of it. Ahh, poor 'Mione's in trouble." - Well, it was bound to come out soon now. It was time, too. I need to get this "short" fic done. "But seeing as Voldemort is Harry's mortal enemy, Harry is being extremely sweet. He is after all not like Ron (okay, okay, Ron had /somehow/ a reason to be mad, but come on he's acting childishly and Harry is amazingly mature, poor boy.. man... whatever). But then again, it's quite IC for Harry to be the understanding (yet very tempered) of these two." I agree with there being a difference between Ron and Harry. I already felt in canon that Harry grew up tremendously, while Ron seemed to be stuck in continuing to make the same mistakes he always had. I don't want to say anything else about this, because again: SPOILERS! "See? Harry is sooo sweet. I had a crush on him in the first couple of films (back then when I was a little shrimp xD) and after a while I began to see him as some kind of "brother", if you know what I mean? Well, so I would say, that if I didn't see him like that, I would think I would drool at his sweetness. Unfortunately, I don't feel that way for our dear Harry, and my drooling is for Tom only, soo...." - Nice save. *checks if the coast is clear* I absolutely love Harry. When in HBP, he stayed with Hermione when she was hurt and when he took Luna to Slughorn's party with him (wanting to take someone he liked with him and not caring what others thought of her), all I could think was what a great guy. *coughs* Of course, he's noooothing compared to our Lord whose magnificent and maAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Many hours later, Nerys gets all her detached limbs back and resumes review replying. "Well, I can't wait till the next chapter, and to there conversation. You've done a great job. Keep it up, please. This MUST be my absolute favorite chapter in the fic " Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter this much and I'll do my best to update soon. "*gasp* I've just broke my record in reviews for a single chapter! The longest previous "longest review for one chapter" was to chapter 19 of "Elusive Realities and Convincing Facades". *happy dance*" - Congratulations! And thank you again. Long reviews are always fun to get for a writer. I know I really enjoy reading them. xx Nerys
  22. Review reply to Lady Miya: You're welcome. I'd dedicate it to you or made it a belayed birthday present, too, but I realised it had no smut in it, so it would be a lousy present to give to you. Unless of course I count all the exclamation marks in this chapter and say, eh, dedicated to Miya because of the large amount of exclamation marks. Indeed. Rows between spouses are often so nasty because they know each others weak spots and have enough information to hit where it really hurts. *sniggers* Well, I figured at that point in the row, things had gotten ugly enough for Hermione not to mind that Ron got hurt due to their marriage bond with Riddle. And yes, after Tom ... SPOILERS! (nicked from River Song). Well, if Tom really could sneak out at the moment, he'd be long gone. However, it may be inadvisable to be in Azkaban and near him in the nearby future ... maybe ... perhaps ... *innocent whistling* Oh, funny Miya. *sniggers* Sure, tease me with the length of this "short" story. *emo teardrop* Yeah, I already know it's over 100,000 words now and has thus reached the length of two ordinary novels. What can I say? I'm wordy. XDDD Well, hermione wasn't aiming to kill Ron, hence why he didn't die. I'm sure if she'd been trying to do so, he'd be six feet under now. And yes, it will also be much more fun if he lives when .... SPOILERS! (Oh, isn't Doctor Who handy at every turn? I'm just blatantly plagiarising Moffat here. XD). I like your analysis. I'm not saying more because well, this story is reaching it's end, so hopefully (without disaster striking and I have an updating halt again) you'll see it all soon. ROFLMAO Now I know the last chapter has been a long time ago, but ... he was on the verge of killing her there, so he hasn't taken it that calmly at first; he just reined in his temper and reminded himself of his objectives. XD Sooooorrrryyyyyy! Although, I do recall a clone-Hermione-Voldemort option in someone else's story that went completely unused. XP But yes, I had to edit out the smut. Upon rewriting that bit I realised with everything that was going on, it would be odd if they'd waste time on that. And yes, I couldn't resist having Tommy sterilise himself so he wouldn't be bothered by crying brats. And now, Nerys hides. Well, Harry's always been a good friend to Hermione and he knows she's always been there for him. He's also not one to judge on a whim, and he's just a generally good guy (to put it mildly), so I can't write him as being an arse. My conscious just doesn't allow for that. And *checks behind shoulders* I absolutely love Harry ... *Tiptoes away to safehouse*. No, Harry hasn't read the marriage contract. The document only identifies the marriage as being made by Moirae; it doesn't give the details of the marriage. I'll not go into too much of what you're saying here since again: SPOILERS! I can say that Harry won't be confronting Voldemort about this. He's not stupid enough to give Tom that pleasure. Sorry that I can't oblige your wish in that. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and I'll do my best to make the next one written faster than this. Toodles, xx Nerys
