Review for Thoughts of Pudding

Thoughts of Pudding

(#) animemonster 2008-07-27

Poor Remus... I'm so glad that you're discussing that issue since it never came up in the books, would it have been that hard for JKR to put in the first part of OotP a sentence along the lines of: "Sirius and Harry talked in the parlor about things that a teenage wizard must know about witches and wizards." She wouldn't have even had to go into details, but I think it would have been more responsible and less prudish.

And the plan gets revised again, that is something I really like about this story, the revisions in the plan. I also love how you made Moody in this, he's the perfect mix between paranoia and a type of wisdom that only the battle conscious can have. I can't describe it, but I think you've hit the nail right on the head.

Luna's comment at the end of the sleeping arrangements was funny. I could see her as the type not to sleep in a nightie, but I don't see her as the type to sleep in the nude (probably a tank top and panties).

Author's response

Couldn't agree more about some of the things that JKR should have written about, but didn't. Oh well, that's what makes fanfic so much fun to read. (It's fun to write as well).

What I'm hoping for is that all characters will have their good and bad days, their chance for smart and stupid moments, etc.. I doubt I'll be able to keep track of who should or shouldn't be PMS'ing on a regular basis, but I'd be disappointed in myself if I got a review with the words 'mary-sue' in it anywhere.

You don't see Luna as the sleeping nude type even after reading about her swimming preferences? Hmmm, well, it's hard to tell with Luna whether she is just teasing or not isn't it. My guess is she's not overly focussed on what other people think are taboos. Her honesty, seeing things as they really are (She saw through Harry's disguise in DH) and her apparant closeness to nature and creatures (real and imagined) suggest to me that she propbably would be a closet nudist. Not an exhibitionist though.

Anyway, I don't know about Harry, but she'd have me wrapped around her little finger by now. :D

Cheers,

Brian
