*sniggers* Oh, this is so good! And it clearly shows that you had a good time writing it.

Thanks. :)

I don't have the eloquence to describe how amazingly awesome this is. I'm sure that you'll hear too much the only complaint I have: it's not longer.

I have always had one surefire way to tell when I've just finished a good book: when I've turned the last page, and read the last words, everything in my head is quiet, no song stuck in my head, no internal monologue, no feeling of thoughts bouncing from one side to the other, just a moment of pure quiet. Sir, your works have given me that pleasure on many different occasions. This is just one more of them, as I've come to expect from your writings.

I chose to read these tonight in chronological order, because sometimes I have trouble keeping things straight otherwise. Now that I have the shape of the story in mind, I am very much looking forward to, in a week or two, going back and reading them in the "Pulp Fiction" sequence. I'm sure I will see a few things in a different light when I do.

*snicker* That should be an interesting conversation with the appropriate dragons. I can just see a set of wizarding photos blown up so that the dragons can get good target ID.

I just spent a couple hours reading the prequal eulogy and then all these vignettes. They're lots of fun.

Of course, I want more, but then, when I read something I enjoy, I always want more.

If any more stories in this universe come to mind, I'd love to read them, and if not, then than you for gifting me with an enjoyable evening.

An interesting story, though I'm not quite sure if I've reached the end or not. Nicely done characters, a very credible follow-on to the story that started you down this path annd a great set-up....but no clear terminus....unless I'm missing something of course.

Not that I want to be a nitpicker, esp. not after now having all these lovely vignettes up, but isn't there some confusion between Seamus and Neville in the opening scene of this one?

You know, this would be a good start/idea for a fic where the prophecy is not referring to Voldemort as the Dark Lord, but Dumbledore. He's been corrupted with the power at his disposal, so much that even his phoenix no longer recognizing him as a person of the light. After all, the best villains are the ones that nobody suspects. He spouts all sorts of 'light' ideas but his actions are those of an overlord. Maybe you can work this idea into a new fic? Hope so!

highly enjoyable and addictive, a trade mark of yours, I believe? :)

I thought these were great pieces when they first appeared on the Yahoo Group and that opinion hasn't changed.
I would make two suggestions...
1. Include the link for "Perfect Situations" at the top of this list, since quite a few of the "Vignettes" refer back to Daphne's eulogy for Harry.
2. I think "Wings of a Prayer" needs to occur before "Sing A Song of Sixpence, A Pocket Full of Weasleys (1/4)". The reason for this is that Percy's thoughts make mention of Ginny taking the first step towards reconciliation, but Ginny doesn't do so until eleven hours later.

Now for the obligatory comment in hoping that this series continues. I am curious as to what might be found in the Egyptian tomb; the effects and the implementation of the cure for lycanthropy; and the final changes that Harry and Daphne make. At some point, the truth should come out about Harry or is this to be a case of the "worst kept secret" (everyone knows he's alive, but no one will acknowledge it in an official capacity).

Plus, there has to be more torture of Dumbledore to cover and his final fall from grace.

Love it!

I loved the ending quote and your description of Nevilles emotions. You managed to capture him perfectly.

Can we expect any more from this most excellent and entertaining work of fiction?

This is really good. I am looking forward to see Dumbledore get what he has coming to him, plus I like to see Harry confront Hermione, Ron and Ginny

Serious journalism.........in Britain!!! The scandal.

Lon Huey posted a comment on Sunday 20th May 2007 5:40pm

Love the fact that she not only had to state that Las Vegas was in Nevada, but also that it was in the United States and more importantly, on Earth. In journalism, it always pays to be specific. ;-)

Forty grand. Talk about making a concierge's day!

Lon Huey posted a comment on Sunday 20th May 2007 5:35pm

Of all the vignettes, this was my favorite and would return to it whenever I needed a good story. I love the line "Never sue poor people". If you must be litigious, you want a lawyer just like this. Especially if he is willing to go after Rupert Murdoch and Lawrence Jacobs.

I have liked these since you first worked on them.

You should add a mention and link to the story they are Omakes from.

Thanks for posting and writing.
