A Personal Response…
This is a personal response to someone who left an anonymous review on this fic under the name 'Irritated beyond belief' as I can't send a private response. So here goes:
Irritated, there's a reason it's rated M, because there's sex in it and because of some of the themes of Dumbledore's plans! And I'm sorry that I can't write more graphic sex scenes but I something traumatic in the past and while I'm almost over it I get really uncomfortable writing graphic sex scenes! As for the description, it's a part of my writing style, there are writers like Austen who don't describe things very much but I'm not one of them. When I'm reading fanfics, I prefer to read a description of what the characters are wearing because it helps me picture them as the author is portraying them so I've brought an element of that into my writing. With the characters, some of them may be OOC but it's an AU fic, that means I can play about with them! And others like my portrayal of the characters. As for the clichés (misspelt by the way!), this was written for fun and no one else has reacted negatively to them!
You said that the way Voldemort (or Tom as I called him for most of this fic) fell in love with Morgana was unlikely and abrupt, have you never heard of Soul Mates and love at first sight? I was trying to say that it was love at first sight for them and that they're Soul Mates without actually having to say the actual words! You might have laughed out loud but love at first sight does happen. I always proofread each chapter before I post it and I use the earlier ones when writing a new chapter to keep continuity! I am NOT going to rewrite it as a) I don't have the time because I have other things going on in my life, b) you didn't ask nicely and c) people like it the way it is!
A word of advice…stop being a coward, if you want to leave a review like that in future then create an account or log into one to do so! I've only received about 5 nasty reviews like that, all of them anonymous, so I'm taking the stance we do at work when someone misbehaves and imposing restrictions on everyone else because of a few idiots! Just in case the point of this literary equivalent of a MASSIVE raspberry passes you by I'll reiterate it for you and I'll try to use small words for you: If you write a nasty review and don't do it in such a way that the author can respond, it makes you seem like a coward and a Troll! Negative reviews are fine but not if they are nasty. My main advice to you Irritated is GET.! Stop trying to sound clever as you just sound ignorant and rude!
