Best. Review. Ever.

As a fanfic writer, I've been lucky enough to receive many lovely reviews for my work over the years. Thoughtful reviews, heart-felt reviews, detailed reviews explaining what lines the readers liked, fascinating analytical reviews, funny reviews. . .I've loved them all.

But a review I received recently has become one of my favorites. It was for a story called "Watches of a Samhain Night," in which McGonagall summons the ghosts of her dead lovers on Halloween.

Here's what my reader wrote: "Awww I love the idea of a lesbian McGonagall. This fanfic is amazing, apart from the weird parts. I don’t think I should be reading those."

No, indeed. No one should read weird parts.

Oh dear. Oh, oh dear.

(Meanwhile, I am only here for the weird parts.)
