Thank you for your response. I hope you don't think I was implying that I thought your story was plagaristic, because believe me, your words are WAY more coherent than Vexy (I suggest if you have a moment and wish to be both horrified and amused, you check out the links on my livejournal posts), it was just that I read the name Gwynne my heart stopped!

It is interesting to see how other authors delve into the meanings of words to come up with names for their characters, I myself have a bit of a fetish for latin when naming my characters! lol

I am given to understand that Ginevra is in fact a modern progression of Guinevere. However might I venture a minor piece of concrit: Ginny may have lost her memories, however she's likely to be curious enough to want to discover more about her 'family', her past and her situation generally, and I wonder if it was perhaps prudent of Lucius to give her something as potentially 'concrete' as a surname from which to work. Because even though she is NOT a 'Wallace', she THINKS she is is therefore likely to want to trace other members of the 'Wallace' family. So unless Lucius was particularly clever and pre-investigated the name Wallace to ensure she met nothing but dead ends, perhaps it may have been wiser for Lucius to have simply provided her with a first name by which to identify herself.

Other than that, the premise is good and I hope Draco's characterisation builds more upon the 'Father has got to be bloody kidding' line because I like that line and it implies a sceptical and somewhat critical Draco and I'd like to see that counterpoint to Ginny's confusion and disorientation...

I don't suppose you are familiar with the 'work' of a person named 'Vexy' who posts on quizilla are you?

Perhaps you just chose an unfortunate name to rename ginny...

But I'd like to mention that she plagarised HUGE portions of my fanfic 'exquisite irony' and renamed 'her' main character gwynne or gwenn or something. Said plagarised fic also started in eerily the same way with torture and memory loss etc etc so I hope you'll understand me not lavishing praise and enthusiasm since said plagarism broke my heart and this reminds me of it far too much for comfort...

Otherwise, the premise is good and the pain and torture aspects will be interesting to explore later on. I also liked dracos response ''Father has got to be bloody kidding...'' I like that line. perhaps it is merely the unfortunate choice ginnys pseudonym that has unfairly biased me against this story...

But we'll see. I know I shall shall be watching the plot progression with interest...

Author's Response: I'm very sorry if my fic seems in any way similar to the person who plagarized your work. I got the idea for the fic after watching a CSI: New York in which one of the detectives "wakes up" (so to speak) with fragmented memories and bruises. That became the spring board for this idea. Also, the name "Gwynne" was originally going to be "Gwen" but then I found out that the former means "fair" and the latter means "intelligent". For my purposes I chose the first spelling. "Gwynne" is short for Guinevere, a name I always thought Ginny could be named after. Thus I incorperated it into this fic. You will notice that Ginny's alleged name "Gwynne Wallace" also has the same innitials as her original "Ginny Weasley". I tend to come around with ideas in strange ways, but never through others' works.

Again, I'm terribly sorry that your work was dishonored in such a way. I promise that this fic is coming from imagination and ideas from no one but myself. I do hope you can enjoy the rest of the story despite these complications.

That was a really good beginning...Is it weird to say I was breathing with the ins and outs? hehe I can't wait to see what's wrong with her! :3

Author's Response: *smiles* That's not weird at all. It's actually the desired effect, and I'm glad it worked! Hope you enjoy the rest of the story : )
