I have lots more fun writting Severus than Hermione. Why?
I have a more complete picture of him than hers. It is more easy and fluid.
Maybe my inner man is more developed? Duno. I dont have a clear answer.

My inner man must be better developed too. Mind you, I'm in the whole thing to write Severus and Hermione tends to be merely along for the ride.

Possibly because we know what he is like as an adult, whereas, she as an adult remains a somewhat unknown quantity.

Or maybe exploring the man path is more alluring for us, woman. Hermione is more near and maybe a more dull. Duno.
Some thing I like of your fics is the consistency with cannon, as much as a fic could be.
Let use your comment as an oportunity to bother you. How could you thing that Hermnione (school one) would react to her own experience of limit, weakness and illnes? I'm exploring that, I don't want a whiny Hermione but neither a Super Woman.

I wouldn't ask me, half the fandom accuses me of writing Hermione OOC.

I think she would be impatient as a sick person, and would not readily take advice, or follow doctor's orders. She'd be out of bed before she should be, and might relapse as a result. She would get frustrated with any limitations.

Incidentally, I do not agree that she is a bona fide intellectual as too many writers depict her. She is studious. I see no canon evidence that she is a brilliant intellectual. When writers depict her as such - that is Mary Sue. With the writers usually deludedly believing they too are very clever. Self insertion of that kind effortlessly proves to me that they are not.

Yeah. Making a PhD proyect at seventh year. I`m a teacher, I have find lot of intelligents and promisorious girls of that age...but please.
At the same time I doubt that intellect would be what make Severus look at her. (He would consider it, but I doubt it could be "the" motive).

I've sometimes thought of the same thing: as a SS/HG writer, why do I write from Snape's point of view more than Hermione's? I did a lot of soul-searching and I realized that in writing Snape as a man in love with Hermione we get to dwell on Hermione's best qualities as a woman. Maybe we project what we'd like a man like Snape, or any other man, to see in us; maybe we put those qualities in our versions of Hermione.

The risk of Mary sueish is great then. I'm currently using an narrator POV, but when it came to Severus I run fast...Hermione is hard.
Did you ever had difficulties to bring them toghether? I want to explore his capacity of tenderness, care and compassion (no pity), but I have troubles with that now.
