I'm a bit confused as to the order of the stories...it might help to categorize them as a series? Is there an ending to the arc of "Before the Storm"?

I know that it has been a long time since you've updated this story or anything like that, but I'd just like to tell you that I'm very impressed with what I've read of your work. While I did find myself annoyed at the portrayal of Ginny in Before the Storm, somewhat irritated by her weakness and the lost of the spitfire personality I've associated with her, I appreciated the way you've written Draco for it is, quite possibly, the most realistic portrayal of Draco I've ever seen. Before the Storm ended on such a highly strung note and leaving the searcher of the elusive Happy Ending with the very dampened inkling of hope for the two to achieve some form of understanding, nevermind forgiveness; you want to hope for it, but the carefully woven circumstances prevent its actuality. However, whatever snippets you've provided here brings a much needed closure to the dynamic you've created, and I'm very thankful for that. While in Before the Storm, it appears as if Ginny was the one who is constantly chasing Draco and he the one trying to avoid and deny what existed between them, the contrast was drawn in this brief continuation and you see Draco chasing, trying to rebuild that bridge burned by the war and all its sacrifices, and Ginny's attempt to prevent herself from being consumed again. You have demonstrated the very spirit of Ginny's quintenssential fire and Draco's ice by showing that it is through their interactions in the past that have forged such development in their characters, changes that would have never been realized if their paths never crossed. Thank you so much for this very realistic portrayal of the Draco/Ginny dynamic that will be used as a standard (at least, for me) for a long time to come. :)

What a bitter end to such a lovely story. *sigh*
Too many lives ruined because of a society that expects too much yet does not give a chance for true love to take its course.
Too many broken hearts that may never be pieced together again.
It was good that Draco did not ask Ginny to be his mistress because I would have made him real and beat him to death! LOL
So sad.... =(
Letting each other go must have hurt like hell when you have a love as great as theirs.. *sniff*
You have such a way with words! Just amazing!
It's such a depressing thought that you're not continuing this.
Thanks for the story but I really wish someday you might post the end of the story =)

I am not sure if you will read this as it seems like it's been a while since you have updated.
Two years ago, I wrote a rather offensive review due to my disappointment in you choosing not to finish the story.
I recently came back and reread your story. The quality of your writing is still truly amazing in my opinion.
I just wanted to appologize for what I had said. I may not have understood then, but I understand now.

Even though you aren't writing the complete story, I still appreciate the snippets :) It sort of allows the reader to put things together on their own, considering what you've given us in the snippets and from the story before this.
So thank you for posting this :) It's so much better than abandoning it completely.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for posting this portion of “The Storm.” Its prequel- like its anti-hero- was bitter, honest and heartbreaking. While I know an extended “storm” is not likely on the horizon, your snippets were extremely heart wrenching and helped create a foundation in my imagination of the world after “Before the Storm.” Draco remains inordinately torn by impossible choices and haunted despite his pseudo-affected and aristocratic air. Words can’t do justice to how much Ginny moves me within your created world. You maneuver words and emotions with a delicate and bittersweet honesty and if I see another story written by you, be sure I will be one of the first to read it. Thanks for taking the time to create this world and for sharing your words.

When will you be adding to this story? I am amazed at your talent. I loved Before the Storm. Your characters seem to take on a life of their own and I find myself completely sucked into the story.

I think you should just add another chapter that ties everything together so we know what happens at the end and so that you're done with the story. The one thing that truly gets to me is when someone starts a story and doesn't give it a proper end. on the other hand, i don't mind if someone starts a story, doesn't feel like finishing it and just kindof ties up loose ends in one chapter...which is what i am asking you to do because i feel like I am too personally tied into this story for there to not be a proper end.

So thats it? You're going to do a shortened sequel when I spent my ENTIRE day reading Before the Storm when I should have been studying for my final?
This makes me sad. You are an amazing writer and I was looking forward to reading more.
This makes me very sad and it feels like I've wasted my day on story without an ending.
Author's Response: Honestly, I didn't force you to read this story, did I? I didn't strap you down to your computer and make you read instead of study. I can't be blamed because I chose not to write the sequel when I did more than most authors and finished the first part, then posted all I had of the second. I take minor offense to your comments because while you may have 'wasted' a day reading part one, I 'wasted' a long, long time writing it. I do take responsibility for not finishing the sequel, but my interest waned and I moved on. My apologies, but that's life, right?

NO! I can't believe you are abandoning this! I'm heartbroken. I can only hope that you will one day resume this even though it's obvious that you do not intend to. It's beautiful and horrific and intriguing and tragic. I love it. I'll read the next chapter then and check back every now and then just in case...

First off, I want to say that I read about 2 sentences and had no idea what was happening. It's been quite awhile since I last read "Before the Storm", and I'm glad I reread it (took me a few days!) as when I started reading the sequel, I was thinking of a completely different fic plotline in my head. I probably accepted the fact that there won't be a happy ending from whatI gathered in "Before the Storm", and I don't really see one coming (unless the ending is completely going off on a different track). But I like your portrayal of Draco and Ginny, it's very unique. And I don't think the snippets are too choppy, but fit well together in that it's not too hard to fill in missing events. I hope you update soon! Haha, and if you wanted to know, I really don't like the idea of Draco and Pansy getting married.
