| Oooo look at that! And the infamous name is born! Haha very clever! and I wonder who Tom was talking to about Hogsmeade... Anyways great story! |

| Tom was talking to some unfortunate, ignorant boy who probably followed him down the Dark path so fully that he did not appreciate just how much Tom had corrupted him. Alas, I have no name to attach to him, but it could very well be a Lestrange, Avery, Rosier or any other of those horrible cretins - take your pick! Thanks for your review, I'm delighted to get them, especially so long after the story was first posted. |

| Okay. So that was Tom 'studying' but also finding his name and going to Hogsmeade. Very cool. And the layout was fun. LoL |

Wow. The first time I read this I didn't see the side part. So I read through all the notes and was thinking "no wonder some Wizards don't like Muggles."
Then I read the side too. So clever, and really interesting. I loved it. Well written and I must say that you showed Riddle's train of thought well. Almost too well! |

| Oh, not too well, I hope! I'm so interested to hear what you made of the notes, because they were the second part I worked on - the name doodling came first in the writing of it. Thanks so much for reviewing, I really appreciate your comments. |

| Dude! That was SO COOL! I've never seen anything like this fanfic. It was truly amazing. Vaguely spooky in its normalcy. One thing however, the notes about Hogsmeade got a little confusing, it looked like the bold/un-bolded scripts changed places. Or something...anywho, GREAT story! |

| THANK YOU so much for your kind comments! Yes, I know about the bold - something happened in the translation from my document to the screen because of the tricky programming that had to be done to get the story into two-column format. I'm not very technical about these things, so I've let it go, but you're right that the 'conversation' is not quite bolded/unbolded correctly. Glad you could still get the gist of it. Anywho (as you say) ... thanks for your review - it's made me all smiley! |

| That was BRILLIANT. I loved his notes ("Stupid Muggles." "Dementors do it better.") and also his figuring out "I Am Lord Voldemort" in the margins... "Minister Marvolo." "Maid. Laid." "LORD... MORTAL DIE!" Very clever and amusing! |

| Thank you so much! I really enjoyed putting it all together and playing around with the words that come out of his name, as well as getting into a snarky, arrogant mood while he was ‘taking notes’ in class. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving a review – much appreciated! |

| I love this fic. It's really different, but very chilling when you connect the dots. Great, as always, T. Thanks for the little note, I agree! But I do happen to believe some of us belong in one of those asylums.... |

Definitely original and very well done. And it came to me at the right
moment, having just finished Kate Lynn's wonderful "The Broken Victory".
Good job! Thanks for sharing!

| Oh, thank you! I'm very pleased you found it interesting, because sometimes history lessons can be a bit dull! Your review is very encouraging, thank you. |

It was disturbing that it was funny in places... like I felt like I was laughing with Voldemort. But it was kind of creep too. I was just creeped out by Voldemort.
I always thought how amazingly cool the name thing was... I mean, not only can he pull "I AM LORD VOLDEMORT" out of his name, but the actual name means "flight of death" or something in French. That's just... cool. Go JK Rowling!
You did a great job on this fic. I think I'll nominate you for a best of.....

| Yep, I agree - JKR is cool! I did think for a bit about trying to work in the meaning of 'Voldemort' but I couldn't really work it in to the structure of my fic But yes, it is cool. Thanks for your review - I'm happy to have creeped you out! *lol*. As for nominating - well, I'm very honoured ... |

I liked this one, I don't think I was alone when I thought "What are you doing with this writing on the other side. But then it hits you. Very clever. (Didn't mean to sound condisending.) Well done, it also gives the reader an insight as to Old Voldie-balls came to be. Silly really how a play of words can create such fear. Still try thinking that when the Git is in front of you giving you the old red eye treatment, LOL. Oh and waving his stick in the air, Oh and speaking latin. (Sorry going of on one.) Where was I, oh yeah great work, well done. Will there be any more? |

| Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it. As for more - well, this is all I have about Tom Riddle, but maybe down the track there'll be some other things. We'll see! Thanks for your review - as a writer it's wonderful to hear what people are thinking while they're reading the story. Thanks! |

I have to agree with Arnel - creepy, yet brilliant.
(Had a minor Lion King moment there "Slimey, yet satisfying.")
Being a history buff myself, I was mesmerized after the first line of notes. Then I started to pay close attention to the doodles in the margin. I found myself scrolling down faster and faster, ignoring the notes to feast on this rare glimpse into the mind of madness. Reaching the end, where "I am Lord Voldemort" is set side-by-side with "Evil, Criminal, Insane" I got chill bumps all over my skin and sat there eyes wide, processing Riddles choices for a moment.
Then I got all excited about the notes and went back to devour them. What a fascinating lesson! How sad that one who has nothing but disdane for the "stupidity" of muggle beliefs about wizards became the epitome of their feared stereotype and gave their unrealistic fears justification.
Well Done, Ladybug! Brilliant work! Looking forward to Lots more! |

Oh my, you should write the Cliff Notes for fanfiction!! You make it sound so deep, which I suppose it is, but I'm glad it really put all of that across - you said it better than I could! Thanks so much for your help and kind words, Tante - very much appreciated! |

| This is too creepy! It's also brilliant! What a terrific look into Tom Riddle's psyche at the age of fifteen or sixteen! I love your unique approach to telling this story and had to laugh at your unique author's note, too. I'm looking forward to your next posting. |

| Thanks so much! It's funny how it didn't feel at all creepy as I was writing it, but I'm glad it came across that way. Sometimes the most normal things are the most creepy! |

| Very creative! Loved the juxtaposition of history and history in the making. So sad how he crossed out "loved" and "mortal", showing how he came to the dark path of fulfilling the muggle perception of wizards. |
| Saturday 8th October 2005 22:11 | 12th March (Author Response) |
Yes, another example of how our choices shape us. Actually, I was amazed when I sat down to write this how many words, both appropriate and ironic, you could get out of his name. Thank you for your review - very much appreciated! |
