!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG i luv u!!! (there's that word again). No i'm not 34 (or married, i wish), but that's okay... well i may be a teensy bit biased now but i really like that chapter, i think it's so awesome the way you're going about doing this story with the real acounts and all. i'm glad that they let you keep 'D8' as a part of the title, because it definitely makes the whole thing... come together, i guess is what i'm trying to say. soooooo, yea, i totally loved that chapter and i cannot wait to see how things go w/ D&G. much love! ~MrsRupertGrint

Author's Response: hahaha Fantastic! I'm so glad you liked it -- your reviews are so sunny, and they really make me happy. :) Question: Is there an age that you'd rather she be? If so, pop me an email and let me know; I accidentally put one of the reviewers as "BF" when she's an "SF" so I've changed that, but do let me know if there's something else you'd rather have. :)

Yay! I love this story! I also love ginny's super-sweet and naive personality. I really can't wait for Draco's profile, since I havn't yet gotten a good idea of his personality.

Author's Response: Aww... Thanks!! I really wanted to include you since you're such a sweet reviewer, but I wasn't sure how the "Sirius" would go over. Hmm... well, check for it in the next chapter! :) ;)

Thank you for including me! The only bit offansive was that you wrote that I was a bi female, I am straight. Anyways, Great chapter! I checked out the pictures in your livejournal, I thought they are really good! Keep up the great work and update soon!
Author's Response: Hrm... Yea, I figured that some of the labels would be wrong. Thanks for telling me, though -- It's now fixed! :)

I love Gin's profile! Draco (well your interpretation of him at least) was right; she does sound rather naive, but then again, I've always thought of Gin to be that way, even in canon. I enjoyed being mentioned twice in this chapter. I did use 'Alexandria M.' for my s/n, though I deleted it after I took the test since I wasn't too keen on meeting people seeing as I already have a boyfriend. Darn it! I would have replied to Gin if she asked me about Bill and Egypt! hehe. I laughed myself silly though when I read Draco's response to my name. The whole veela cousin thing got me. Oh if only I did have more of the Malfoy gene (in terms of snarkiness and magic and such...but not the hair, it would look bad on me), but alas, I am quite like Ginny in looks as well, not just in my 'Window Shopper'-ness (I'm not disgracing my red hair, it's just a pain to brush). As to your "Author's Responce" to my last review and part of your last review to my story 'A Study of the Mind', if I really like your stories, then I'll look at your favorites to see if I find anything similar. Since I loved PhD and I love this one, I checked what other stories/authors you liked. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw ASotM on your favorites along with my name for your fav. authors. It defintely made my day! I can't wait for the next chapter!!! xoxox
Author's Response: haha To be perfectly honest, when "researching" for this chapter, I did search for a couple of the authornames before putting their profiles on here. Yours came up as "WTF - User Not Found - Possibilities: Typo, Wrong Website, Rubbish Input." Ah well... :) haha Thanks, once again, for your lovely review. :)

I really enjoy your writing (loved PhD), and you always make me laugh. I never had the chance to take part in the whole on-line dating thing, (since I was married before the trend started) but I think it is a hillarious story line, and the netspeak just adds to the charm of the peice. Thanks for using such an entertaining mediums to educate me about the wonders of the world outside of mine!! (ie: single life, on-line dating, and the yumminess of the clam chowder at a great little restaurant by MIT) :)
Author's Response: haha Thank you!!! There are actually a few married people on OkCupid, and they usually list "pen pals" or "friends" for whom they're looking to speak to. And Thank You for liking PhD -- honestly, both of these were random thoughts spun in the shower, and I'm glad people are actually enjoying them. :)

For some reason, this story has snagged me, and I can't wait to see more! It even enticed me to go over to okcupid and take the test purely to satisfy my curiosity.
Apparently, I should definately avoid the Hornivore Dracos in my life. I'm the Dirty Little Secret (Deliberate Gentle Sex Master female)

Very funny. I liked Draco's results. I kinda figured that he would get the Hornivore. It sounded so much like him. The format so far is great! It just dangles a bit out there and once you're ready for the next part, you have to wait. Makes people come back to read more. I like it! Yes, I believe that Draco will fall for the geek! xoxox
Author's Response: :oD I'm really quite happy that some of hte people who read "PhD" are likin' this story, as well. I'm glad you like the format, as well. :) And, danggit -- geeks can snag sexy guys, too! ;)
Author's Response: Ugh -- I must've been quite sleepy when I penned that last "Author's Response" to your review. But I also checked out your stories (which are Excellent!) and looked at your "Favorite Stories" for the rec's -- haha we've got many of the same. Good taste, gal! :)

A very sweet and clever idea! However, the link to OKCupid doesn't work, so I had to find it elsewhere. And I came up with......................................................................................
The Window Shopper
Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLDf)
Loving, hopeful, open. Likely to carry on an romance from afar. You are The Window Shopper.
You take love as opportunities come, which can lead to a high-anxiety, but high-flying romantic life. You're a genuinely sweet person, not saccharine at all, so it's likely that the relationships you have had and will have will be happy ones. You've had a fair amount of love experience for your age, and there'll be much more to come.
Your exact opposite:
The Stiletto
Deliberate Brutal Sex Master
Part of why we know this is that, of all female types, you are the most prone to sudden, ferocious crushes. Your results indicate that you're especially capable of obsessing over a guy you just met. Obviously, passion like this makes for an intense existence. It can also make for soul-destroying letdowns.
Your ideal match is someone who'll love you back with equal fire, and someone you've grown to love slowly. A self-involved or pessimistic man is especially bad. Though you're drawn to them, avoid artists at all costs.
BEWARE: The Hornivore
CONSIDER: The Gentleman, The Loverboy
Author's Response: haha It looks like you're quite similar to Ginny. Hmm... I hope I fixed the link - the titles to each of the descriptions are the links to the particular sites; i.e., "The Hornivore" shows you the OkCupid description of "The Hornivore." That said, please let me know if any of them don't work! :)

embarrassing confession to make. i didn't real this at first because of the D8 thing. (my pet peeve - cute spelled words) but i'm glad i clicked on it this morning, cause i like it and i know it's going to be funny!
Author's Response: Embarrassing? Not at all -- in fact, I just added a note about it in Chapter 4. Here you go:
Note#4: Ah... I'm sorry for the netspeak reference! I honestly didn't mean for that to be annoying/"cute"/in violation of the no netspeak rule. Originally, that title stemmed from the note I wrote about the idea to myself. It's part of my shorthand, and didn't occur to me at first to be a netspeak reference. Then I decided to weave it into the story, partly b/c it looked short/sweet/succinct and especially b/c of the usual netspeak that one encounters on those online dating sites. However, if it's too upsetting (and I just saw the reviews/notes about it), I don't mind changing it...
...
Thanks for telling me about your previous qualms, and I'm truly happy that you like the story. :)
Author's Response: Et Voila -- and now, the title has also changed. Again, thanks for the feedback. :)

Now how the heck are ginny and draco going to meet on-line when they are so opposite??? Still, am loving your story, and it's well-written to boot. Took the okcupid test; result: "The Peach (Random Gentle Love Master), playful, kind and well-loved". I'm Ginny? hmm, maybe THAT'S why I love d/g.

I laughed my ass off during this chapter! Draco's comments were so hysterical! I have to say that you got his personality dead on. I definitely picture him to respond to the questions that way. I took the test as soon as I finished the 2nd chapter and I got exactly what Ginny got. Apparently, I'm a bit of a Window Shopper like Ginny. What surprised me the most was how right it was. OkCupid...I give you props. I can't wait for the next update! xoxox
Author's Response: Thanks! :) You've left such nice positive notes -- and I'm glad you like OkCupid, too. hehe Be careful, though -- those tests and meeting people can get addictive -- it's a bit similar to the dangers of fanfiction, come to think of it... :oD
