Yay! Fic-ness!
Hmm. Anyways...Great Percy fic (again)! I just love the way you portray him, and Oliver for that matter. It's very sad that we don't get to hear much from the two in the books, and I think you've portrayed them quite brilliantly! |

| Awww! They're both SO IC..."To have to be perfect all the time!" Poor Percy...Lovely fic, as usual. And of course the last line is great :D. |

| very sweet! We never thought that Percy and Oliver would have been roommates, but you're right. So many people are critical of Percy; we like that Oliver has been honest but kind. And it's great how he tries not to be so anal-retentive, by leaving the crumpled parchment on the floor, but then he just can't stop himself going back to close the door. Nice story! |

Sweet take on Percy and Oliver both, although I wish from an editorial perspective that there was a bit more narrative and a bit less dialog in the middle section. The whole concept is interesting because JKR almost always shows Percy as alone--in his room at the Burrow, or at the staff table at the Yule Ball.
I like Wood as hot-headed and I think you could have painted him as even more fanatical, had you chosen to flesh out the characters a bit more with description rather than dialog. |

Sweet! I loved it. I think since OotP came out we often forget that there's a seventh Weasley. Thanks for showing us some of his character. I personally can relate with this line:
"To have to be perfect all the time!" Percy shouted, slamming his quill down on his desk.
I have been there often and so felt very sympathic towards Percy when I read that. Great job! |

| Nicely done! No one ever really thinks about Percy and Wood having roomed together and what that would mean for each of them, but I think you captured the personalities nicely. |

| A great take on Percy, it's simple but it conveys a lot. I particularly like the way in which Percy resists picking up the crumpled paper, but goes back to close the door - he can loosen up a bit, but that desire for order/control is still part of his personality and it would hardly be realistic if it dissapeared overnight. A really nice piece of writing. |

| Very good. I like the thought of Oliver and Percy living together for seven years not really talking to each other. |

This was very good. Somewhat sad, but funny, at the same time. I loved the last line:
"Percy followed him down the first couple of steps, then ran back up and closed the door behind him.
"I'm not anal-retentive," he told his roommate when he rejoined him." I laughed so hard! Great job, you made Perfect Percy seem human. |

| I think this was a great glimpse into the inner workings of Percy's character. Oliver was a bit too subdued, though. He sounded more like Ron, rather than the "catch the Snitch or die trying" madman of our acquaintance. Still, I can believe that off the field he's the way you wrote him, and I loved the interaction between two very different people that have known each other for a long time. |

Ah!! How wonderful! I'm somewhat speechless...you nailed their characters beautifully and you left me with a lovely warm feeling.
Great job! |

Well, that was different.
I really liked it. It was a nice little sojourn into both Percy and Oliver's minds. It would almost be nice if you did a couple of little snippets of incidents over their years rooming together. Surely there must've been two or three other times when they didn't just "talk about classwork or the weather"? |

Very cute story. Love the dialog between them...
but the funniest part of the story was when it occured to me how important saying 'non-slash' in the summary because of what fandom has done to those characters. :D |

An interesting premise. I like the way that Oliver and Percy are portrayed. I haven't ever given much thought to the fact that the two of them did share a dorm for seven years and yet never seemed to associate much (of course Harry does miss a lot, but still...)
And I loved Percy's last line. |

Hooray for a Percy & Oliver fic that isn't slash!
I can't believe how well you characterized them. We haven't seen a side of Oliver like that - he was sort of like an older brother to Percy, even though they hadn't talked all that often. He's a real sweetheart when he's off the pitch! MmmmOliver.
I can't wait to read more from you! :) |
