I'm sorry there are no more chapters yet!! I am very excited to see how the pictures turn out--hopefully Ginny will be used, not Pansy--and when the romance is going to come in. Looking forward to reading more of your guys' writing!

Author's Response:

Myn says: Well, the romance may take a while to get here, but I think it will be worth the wait.

Ves says: Why does everyone want the romance three chapters ago?  Would it help if the prologue was "This is a D/G site. They are going to hook up.  Wait for it..."?

Myn says: Maybe it would help if I reminded them of my fanatical devotion to the ship?'

Ves says: It's worth a try.

God! This is so much fun!!

Author's Response:

Myn says: We certainly think so.

Ves says: But we find odd things terribly amusing. It's nice to know other people think this is fun.

You know this is the funniest story I have ever read, I so look forward to your updates, please update soon!!!

Author's Response:

Ves says: Good things come to those who wait.

Myn says: We'll try, although I'd suggest picking up some Terry Pratchett novels if you want even funnier stories.

Hee!  I love the chapter titles, btw.  And how frickin' meta is it for me to write a review which I'll have to respond to?


Author's Response: Ves says: Pretty darn meta.  *snerk*  And thanks.

Oh how I love this story! You girls are so creative! I love how Draco and Ginny interact in this story!!! *sigh* I also love how Ginny has gotten mixed into the whole modeling thing. Haha Poor girl! I'm sure she'll look fabulous! I can't wait for the D/G to kick in!!! Yay!!! Please post the next chapter soon!!! Fantabulous job!!!!

Author's Response:

Ves says: Fantabulous? I love that word!  Many thanks.

Myn says:  Just for you, because you said please, we'll post the next chapter very soon.

Awesome story! Keep updating! I can't wait for the next installment!

Author's Response:

Ves says: Glad you are into this fic.  It's been fun to write.

Myn says: This has been my most successful collaboration ever so far - it's nifty. :D

Okay....welll....mmm....What can I say except: BLOODY BRILLIANT! I have only read this for the first time and I am glad I did not start reading when you first posted it as I would have certainly hunted you down and slowly and painfully murdered you and don't you doubt that I would have enjoyed it. Yeah sure I would never hear the rest of the story, but a mind bent on revenge is never quite sane and in the revenge itself there is such pleasure as to blind you to the lossof such a great story and wonderful authors.....okay enough rambling! Here goes... I love it and I certainly hope that you update soon. Please don't leave us hanging! The plot is wonderful and Ginny sounds just like I would expect her to sound. I love her and I love this plot....soo please don't make us wait too long and say that you'll complete the story! Be careful....any promises made will constitute a blood oath...so don't day I didn't tell you so when I invoke that promise. Love you guys! Keep up the great work!

Author's Response:

Myn says: *gulp*  Maybe you'd better not read it now, as the semester is starting and I'd rather not have the specter of painful murder distracting me while I try to study.

Ves says: We will TRY not to have such a long gap in updates...but things happen.

Name: Glass_Mermaid reviewed Chapter Three – The Barking Mad Idea on Dec 06, 2005 12:34 pm
This story is so much fun! I can't wait for more!

Author's Response:

Ves says: Yep. So far this is quite the angst-free zone.

Myn says: *shiftily hides the hammer, nails, and multitude of "Angst-free zone - all melodrama will be shot!" signs.*

Great story you have....I love the whole plot and the characters personality....two words....very original. Do write more...i can't wait...

Author's Response:

Myn says: Two words...  Thank you!

Ves says: Ditto!

Name: Embellished reviewed Chapter Three – The Barking Mad Idea on Dec 06, 2005 01:40 am
Oh, dear. Ginny sure has gotten herself into a mess, hasn't she. This continues to be quite funny! Please post more soon.

Author's Response:

Myn says: She did have a tiny bit of help.

Ves says: You mean that giant kick we gave her? Or did you mean Draco - trouble personified?

Myn says: That, too.  Her lawyers recently tried to file an injunction against us for mental cruelty.

Ves says: Ah the perils of ficcing!

Name: suzymaholic reviewed Chapter Three – The Barking Mad Idea on Dec 05, 2005 07:41 pm
I like the way this story is going a lot! It's written well, and I like how she's working for Narcissa. Woot! This is very original

Author's Response:

Myn says: Vesanmyn - Original since sometime last year.

Ves says: Glad you are enjoying it.

wouldn't it be horrible if Draco suggested that Ginny flash the media people like his mum did!

Author's Response:

Myn says: Well, she did plenty of flashing of her own, given her wardrobe malfunction.

Ves says: Yeah...let's preserve the tattered shreds of Ginny's dignity.  At least for a few more chapters.

Author's Response: Myn also says: Yeah, about the edibility thing. Draco says to contact his secretary for an appointment.

*scurries off to make an appointment...or five*

Author's Response:

Myn says: Draco's secretary pencils you in for the earliest available appointment, sometime in 2026.

Ves says: I knew I should have booked early...Drat!

Name: LadyRhiyana reviewed Chapter Three – The Barking Mad Idea on Dec 05, 2005 03:46 pm
I love Mz. Malfoy, the wife/mother/feminist icon. I also love her candid observation that Draco, whatever else he may be, has an excellent eye for women... I'm very much looking forward to more of this. Thanks for a great read.

Author's Response:

Myn says: Narcissa might be a fond and indulgent mother, but she's also smart - Draco only gets away with things when she allows him to.

Ves says: I think we might have to explore that further. I mean, I can see intial nepotism from her...but not if he started losing money for the company.  Narcissa simply wouldn't stand for that.

Myn says: Good point.  Yes, I think we will cover that more in depth later.  See, reviewerperson?  You helped make the story better!  Or at least longer!

Name: LadyRhiyana reviewed Chapter Two - No Such Thing as Bad Publicity on Dec 05, 2005 03:44 pm
Brilliant!! *Applauds wildly* Scheming, opportunistic Narcissa seems perfectly in place in the fashion/cosmetics world. And you've really created a fascinating Ginny.

Author's Response:

Ves says: Narcissa is perfectly in place nearly anywhere with power and money. But that might just be me...

Myn says: Fashion's an ugly business.  Luckily, Narcissa can triumph over just about anything.

Name: moerae reviewed Chapter Three – The Barking Mad Idea on Dec 05, 2005 03:11 pm
Oooo..The plot thickens...I really like your Ginny; she is incredibly amusing as Narcissa put it. Parkinson and Rhinoplasty. hehe

Author's Response:

Myn says: I've got kind of a soft spot for Ginny, myself.

Ves says: And what rich girl in her right mind would spend the rest of her life being called "pug nose"??

Name: Funnykido reviewed Chapter Three – The Barking Mad Idea on Dec 05, 2005 02:25 pm
Phew! For a while there with that whole model thing I thought you were going to go into the whole cliched-Ginny-just-happens-to-be a size zero w/ no work-and fabulously long legs-and extremely beautiful thing. Would have had to cry and scream and throw a fit if you had gone into that direction and ruined the whole story.

Author's Response:

Ves says: Would we do that to you?  Better yet - would we do that to GINNY?

Myn says:  Have a little faith!

Ves says: Faith? Where?

Myn says: Faith is everywhere, if only you look.  That girl gets around.

Excellent. Poor, fortunate Gin. I imagine the pictures are going to be a smashing success. I'm looking forward to more (and so glad you've picked this up again).

Author's Response:

Ves says: We didn't put it down so much as accidentally misplace it...

Myn says: I couldn't help it!  The other stories were so shiny!  And finals were so hard!  But we found it again, and it's shiny, too, so hopefully we won't lose track of it again.

Ves says: *attaches fic to you with one of those house-arrest locator ankle things*

I less than three this story times a thousand!

Author's Response:

Myn says: Ampersand hearts semicolon!

Ves says: I rather like "less than three".  
Lush Life - fun, frivilous and HTML code help in the comments.

Myn says: Did you know that the less than three can also mean asshat?  Although I don't think that was her intention.

Ves says: I worry about you and the people you hang out with sometimes....

Myn says: With good reason. 

Ves says: You said it, not I.

Name: Elle Blessingway reviewed Chapter Three – The Barking Mad Idea on Dec 05, 2005 12:29 pm
Love, love, love it! Can't wait to see Gin as a model and finally get to some D/G action! Please keep it coming as quickly as possible as we all can hardly wait for more of this frivolous little story...keep up the good work you lovely ladies!!

Author's Response:

Ves says: These people keep asking for D/G action like it's a given or something...*smirks*

Myn says: You mean it's not?  *eyes co-author suspiciously*

Ves says: Stop looking at me in that tone of voice.  I did pay attention to the web address.

Myn says: Myn cancels the death squads.

Name: imelda reviewed Chapter Three – The Barking Mad Idea on Dec 05, 2005 11:36 am
Oooh, I do hope you update soon! This fic is a lot of fun--rather frivolous like the "Hogwarts Bands" Mynuet started--and we haven't even seen any Ginny/Draco action yet! Plus, I'm looking forward to seeing Ginny as a lingerie model. Hope you keep this one going!!

Author's Response:

Myn says: There do seem to be some similarities in the mindset of both fics, ie "Oh, what the hell, let's have some fun with it!"  This one's actually got a plot, though.  We swear.  You'll even see it starting sometime.  Possibly even soon!

 Ves says: I think this is a case where we are having great fun writing it and it shows for the readers.  And wow that sounded snooty.

Myn says: Myn pats Ves.  It's okay.  We may be snooty, but we're cute.

Great chapter!! I would LOVE to see how Ginny's photos turn out. (hint hint all of you wonderful D/G artists out there....)

Author's Response:

Myn says: There is a super secret plot underway to illustrate the Lush advertisements.

Ves says: Wow. That is Super Secret...I have no clue what you are talking about.

Myn says: Well, I'll tell you the details, but the readers will have to be content with the vague oracle imitation.

Ves says: Excellent *makes Mr. Burns fingers*.

jean-claude with the gallic shrug :-) was that intentional?? ;-) enjoying this greatly so far! cheers!

Author's Response:

Myn says: *scratches head*  Well, Jean-Claude is a French name, so the gallic thing was intentional.  I don't...

*light bulb*

Wait, is J-C the name of the dude from Anita Blake?

Ves says: Maybe...It is! Wow, we are too cool! We make in-jokes without even meaning to...or in my case having read the series.

 Myn says: Hee!  We rock!

I was hoping you would update soon, this story is really funny, I really shouldnt read it at work, I get in trouble. keep up the good work

Author's Response:

Myn says:  Employment = good.  Maybe we should try to only update it on weekends or something, so as to save her from herself.

Ves says: I think we if we try to update at all it would be good.

yayy! new chapter! as always, a dream to read :) just the right amount of jealousy from silly arm-candy bints. eagerly anticipating the next installment!

Author's Response:

Ves says: Silly Arm-Candy Bints - that is such a great punk band name. Hey Myn, wanna start a band?

Myn says: Well, I've already got the blue hair...

Ves says: Great!  Now all we need is talent...

Myn says: Or Ashlee Simpson's production and marketing teams.

Ves says: *giggles*
