*laughs* You are a true genius. Sneaking Harry in there like that. Nice job; I can't get the stupid grin off my face. *hugs* Everyone should be very pleased about that.

I'll get the corrections done on Harry and off to you today.

BTW, Josh was so bloody cute.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee - glad you liked it! Man, did it ever get away from me with the length, though. And there were no more prompts left to carry it forward into another one!

I'll keep an eye out for Harry. :o)

Heh. Elektra said she kept picturing your Ryan as she was reading Josh. ♥

[melmoe1.livejournal.com]

OMG!! I did too. Though, Ryan isn't quite that...flamboyant…..he does get a bit giddy when it comes to hot men.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Heh. I know he came across that way, but I really pictured him as being young and enamoured more than flamboyant.

[thrnbrooke.livejournal.com]

Oh that was fantastic!!!! And what a way to end it! Can't wait for Harry's spread!!!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll be putting a Harry article out soon, but then I need to focus on my fest fics, so you'll have to let this one carry you for a couple of weeks. But they'll get done this month, for sure.

Congratulations on February's spread. The ending was wonderful. I really liked the way you explained Harry moving up the ranks and why it made sense for him to move into the Head position. Josh was hilarious.

I'm so looking forward to Harry in the March edition.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. Yeah, I wanted it to be clear that, while his name certainly helped, his hard work was the key point. And as much as a school-aged Draco would have resented it, no matter the reason, the adult Draco, though a bit put off, could see through his annoyance to recognize Harry's qualifications.

Glad you found Josh amusing, and I hope you enjoy Harry's series just as much.

Nice!

Oh that was a good ending to Draco's story, especially bringing Harry in at the end and flumoxing the interviewers. Hehe. I'm real curious to see how the picture for Harry will turn out. The picture of Ron was totally out-of-character if one goes by the descriptions in the canon and the movie. Then of course Draco's picture which showed a much less "pointy" face. So hopefully Harry's picture will show him quite sexy and perhaps different glasses because it would take an awfully good-looking man to attract Draco, no? Looking forward to the next segment! Cheers.

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed this.

Regarding the pictures, when Mel draws the characters, she is not picturing them as children in school, but rather as adults, who have filled out, lost that 'dorky kid' look, and have really come into their own. I also find that sometimes it's hard not to visualize the movie kids, even though they don't necessarily reflect exactly what JKR's vision of her characters was either.

I like Mel's pic of Harry, and I think he looks pretty sexy. ;) I agree that he most definitely would have to be hot as hell to attract Draco.

The first article of Harry's should be posted tomorrow (still have to write it). Then I'll have to take a bit of a break from it to write some fest fics I have due. But they'll all be done this month. Thanks again for reading and commenting. :o)

Harry will be how I was inspired to draw him for this series, just as Ron and Draco were. I am not going for canon. I will, however, never change Harry's glasses-I like them. He wouldn't be Harry to me without his ugly round specs.

Re: Nice!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Mmm ... and I very much like how you were inspired to draw them, hon. ♥ ♥ ♥

And I like Harry & his ugly round specs. ;D

This has been a fun series. I bet young Josh has enough wanking material to last for months after that encounter.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* Heh - I think you're right.

Thanks for reading!

[ravenqueen55.livejournal.com]

FABULOUS! I loved Harry's little surprise entrance...and poor Josh. *snickers* Draco and Harry in the room at the same time. Wait now...what the hell am I saying "Poor Josh" for??? Lucky Josh is more like it.

I loved this series! Can't wait for Harry's to begin...

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'm pretty sure Josh felt lucky. Not as lucky as he clearly wanted to be, but lucky anyway. ;)

Thanks so much, and Harry's will kick off in the next couple of days.

[winter-june.livejournal.com]

I just want to say it again. Really brilliant end to this month theme, and sooo looking forward December! *shares secret fangirl handshake with Josh*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon! sooo looking forward December - Hey, there's still Harry's month of March and all the others still to come. :(

[misscharisma.livejournal.com]

Iabsolutely love this series, and I enjoyed Draco's intereview. I was just s bit disappointed that he didn't get to answer the question Ron asked him and he didn't get to ask Harry a question.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you enjoyed the series, and thanks for commenting.

The issue of the lingering question from Ron, and Draco's question for Harry, will be answered in the first installment of Harry's set, which should be posted tomorrow. (I've added a notation at the bottom of this one, for clarification, and I will add a link to it after it's posted).

Thanks again! :)

[gurliemoviegeek.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!
A fantastic ending to a brilliant series on our beloved Draco! Terrific idea, Harry sort of opening the curtain so Draco could see his own worth.

Loved Harry coming in at the end! And the way Josh reacted!
*swoons with Josh*

Thanks so much for doing these for all of us! It's a brilliant idea, and I am already craving more!

I know you've got, like, a million other things to work on, and I will wait like a good girl for Harry's articles. Just know I think you're brilliant.

*fangirls you like woah*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*tackleglomps*

You are so sweet, you know that? I'm glad you enjoyed it, and this one just would NOT be any shorter than it was. Josh sat on the edge of his seat trying to be good and quiet, but ... well. ;)

Harry's first one should be posted sometime in the next day or two, and then I'm going to disappear for a bit to finish up my fest fics.

[aquila-star.livejournal.com]

Yeah, so I haven't commented much lately, but I just had to let you know how much I enjoy these articles. They're wonderful. I can't wait for the next. :D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks ♥

First Harry article coming soon ... :)

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha, we've found someone more fangirl-y than the interviewer! *is highly amused* And all the swooning...! :D

Heheh, Harry popping around was an awesome touch, and I love how freaked out Josh was. *giggles helplessly*

Cute closing line too, btw. ;)

(But yes, we'll all pretend that there's 30 days in February. *g*)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Heh. Josh was cute, wasn't he? :D

Poor Josh has to photograph Harry next ... well, if our local reporter will let him.

Thanks, hon. And yes, for the sake of this particular series, 30 days works for me. ;D
