I poemed!!

[delphipsmith]

Reveals are up over at hoggywartyxmas so I can now own up to being the author of The Spoof is in the Pudding, a wizardy riff on "The Night Before Christmas, in which Hagrid and Flitwick eat too much fruitcake with surprising results while Severus and Minerva exeunt, pursued by a waltz.

I was thrilled that my poem was one of the opening day posts for the fest, and I have been truly overwhelmed by the number of positive comments that my little rhyme received. In particular, my recipient mmadfan said that the poem brightened her day twice when she was feeling under the weather. I cannot imagine a higher compliment :)

hoggywartyxmas always has superlative offerings, and the writers and artists this year really outdid themselves. Thanks to the mods for running it yet again, and I am already looking forward to next year!

It's a splendid poem, truly. I found very few words that I would have done a little differently.

Trust me, that is saying something. That and the fact that the whole thing would never have occurred to me at all in the first place.

A simply smashing submission.

I bow again,

This is so damn good, I had to read it again. :) Masterful poeming.

Oh, I did enjoy it immensely! And I will never eat fruitcake again without wondering whether it has that secret leavening ingredient! I loved it! Thank you again! :D

Brava!

Although I've read all the Harry Potter books several times, I don't usually read HP fanfic. I read this one because it was yours, and I loved it! Very nicely done!

It was a marvellous contribution, and it more than deserved its prominent place!

So glad you had a good time at hoggywartyxmas!

Ahh, I might have known. It was really very well done. I read it aloud to my husband.
