Okay - I don't know how many people have read my fic 'Don't Need the Sunshine' and if you haven't then this probably will not make sense.
That being said: This fic is new to me in style, vocabularly and description etc, as well as there being a fairly graphic back story with consequent psychology that may seem rather odd. The writing style seems to be going down brilliantly, but the content is being well...not taken well.
It's full of wierd choices, a fact I concede, and there is a lot more sex than I would usually use in a fic.
So much so in fact that one reviewer wrote:
I will be honest (four of the most dangerous words in the English language), I thought this story was an interesting, deep delving, psycological portrait of Minerva. Until I read these last two chapters, there is still the psycological element, but it's being shamelessly blended with random sex. Yes, I realize that sex has a profound impact on the psyche, but honestly, three lemons in two chapters?? I'm curious as to where you plan to steer this. You must remember to keep characterization consistent, you've done an excellent job with McGonagall and Harry (I like your image of Moody too.), but your Albus and Lupin (Lupin only after the last chapter) are becoming more and more volatile. Exceptionally curious as to where you plan to take this.
Which is all well and good but they start off hating it (or implying they do) and then end up writing they're curious to see where it goes. I'm just confused - does anyone else have an opinion. It was a good review and I liked it, but that last bit confused me.
