...Oh, this is actually very interesting, I always though of the title as being a bit tacky. But I must say, I'm pleasently suprised.
Author's Response: Title of the chapter or of the entire story? The title for the entire story came from the drabble, which I expanded. I forget how I chose the title of the chapter at this point. I usually try to pick something that either reflects what the chapter is about or an important line in it. I'm glad you like the story anyway. :)
Have I mentioned how much I am enjoying this story?? Very excellent!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you're having as much fun reading it as I did writing it. :)
Haha, Ginny on pain meds is hilarious! And I liked the bit where Viola was berating Flint, I think it would have been amusing to watch. I'm really glad the Pansy thing seems to be working itself out, she seems much happier now. That and now she has a reason to not drink, I was especially glad to see that. I'm probably rooting for Pansy more than I am for Ginny or Draco. I think she's my favorite character in this story.
Author's Response: I loved writing that part. :) I actually loved Pansy so much more in this story than I thought I would, which is probably why she showed up as much as she did. I certainly didn't plan her plot thread in this. :)
Lovely! Your portrayal of Ginny is amazing!
Author's Response: Thanks! I loved this version of Ginny so much. I think I have to write her like this more often. :)
haha. can't wait to see what draco does with her and her idiotic tendencies haha.
Author's Response: hahaha. He will certainly have his hands full, that's for sure. :)
LOL the last sentence had me giggling. Glad to see that she was alright. I still think that Pans should pull a Mrs. Zabini and off the creepy old man. Great chapter. I like manipulative Ginny so few people can get her right in that style but I think that you hit the nail on the head. I really hope that she and Draco are able to get to see each other in the public eye soon. Cannot wait to see more, happy writing. :)
Author's Response: Hee. I had fun writing Ginny on pain meds. :) There's one more chapter to go, which ties up a few things. I know I left some things dangling, but I figured I'd quite while I was ahead. :)
great chapter! i'm loving the story!
Author's Response: Thanks so much. :) Two chapters left.
I wonder what Amelia will set into motion...
Author's Response: Well, the story is almost done, so you'll see soon. :)
I read the whole thing so far in one sitting and am loving it! Great story, great interactions between the characters. I can't wait to see how it all plays out.
I'm really looking forward to the revelation to everyone that Ginny and Draco are together. oooo the shock.
I do have one teensy tiny complaint, why is Ginny actually helping Pansy's repulsive husband get her pregnant? Why didn't she just hex the hell out of him when she first found out what was going on and get Pansy out of there?
Author's Response: Well, hexing Chesterfield and taking Pansy out of the marriage she had agreed to wouldn't help her marriage. Not to mention it would prolly get her arrested by Aurors for attacking a prominent and wealthy man. The thinking was that if Pansy had that baby, then Chesterfield could get off her back, because he only wants an heir. It's the lesser of the evils.
Nice chapter, love how the cherity is moving along, and the celebrity qudditch match sounds like it should be fun to read about! OH My though, Lucius sure has some problems! I look forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks! I actually did write the quidditch match, which was a first for me. So this story had a lot of fun firsts, and it was a joy to write. I'm glad you're enjoying reading it as much as I had writing it.
Excellent, sexy chapter! I love this story!!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. :)
Another interesting chapter! I like the way things are progressing with the charity. And the smut doesn't hurt either! Thanks for the update!
Author's Response: Smut makes everything better. :D
haha. i love ginny! she's brilliant! great job!
Author's Response: lol. I really like the Ginny in this story, too. I'm glad you like her. :)
I'm really liking the new people joining the charity. And the celebrity quidditch was a brilliant idea. Lovely smut at the end too. Haha dessert before AND after dinner, not a bad idea.
Author's Response: I could have easily gone on for longer with this story, I think, just because there were so many fun characters to play with after a while. Glad you like them. :)
wow hot lol very interesting turn of events with the charity! i am hooked on this fic :)
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying it. :)
Great chapter. Liked that she got one on Lucius although I would have loved to seen Narcissa's response. I really hope that things work out for Pansy. I'm glad that the Ministers wife is going to help them out. Happy writing.
Author's Response: Narcissa is much too classy to show a response in front of anyone. I would imagine Lucius would get the silent treatment and be locked in the kennels for a bit, since Cissy does like Ginny at this point. :)
whew!!! Hawt!!!
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying the smut. It was fun to write, too. :D
First of all, congratulations on your new baby! I hope that everything is going well.
I'm glad that you are posting again. This was certainly an interesting chapter! I love how Ginny is both manipulative and naive at the same time. She was masterful with Amelia Howe, but then had no clue that other people might be willing to help her. Very nicely done. And I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of the fertility treatments. Thanks for the update!
Author's Response: Well, it's been going well enough that I could get on the computer long enough to post the next chapter. ;) Ginny has some raw talent (she is the twins' little sister, after all) but doesn't think of it as manipulating others, and certainly doesn't think that she can actually recruit people. She thinks of this project as much more complicated than it really is, poor thing. We'll see more of Pansy, no worries. :)
Great story so far...although it doesn't quite feel finished. Maybe more later???
Author's Response: There's three chapters left to the story, not to worry.
Um, is this story complete? I mean, it says it's "Long and Complete", but it doesn't really feel done.
Other than that, I'm really enjoying it! (And I'd love to hear more about what Lucius is up to!)
Author's Response: I filed it there because it's going to be ten chapters when I'm done posting this, and I've gotten comments on a 12-chapter story that it should've been filed under "Long and Complete" rather than "Short Story." *shrugs* I get wordy, and have literally written a 52 chapter epic, so my idea of short is a bit skewed. ;) In any case, there's three chapters left to this. Unfortunately, we don't really see Lucius again.
This isn't finished is it? :o! I read it right through but this doesn't seem like the end of the story! Tell me it isnt!
Author's Response: It's finished only in the sense that I've already written the whole story. It's ten chapters long, so there's three more to post.
Interesting chapter. I'm not going to say lovely (as I usually do it seems) because it was rather dark, but I really did enjoy reading it. I like how the Slytherins are becoming fuller characters. I'm really curious to see where the next chapter takes all of this. There are a bunch of new bits introduced in this chapter and I can't wait to see how they pan out.
Author's Response: I don't usually play with Slytherins much, so I had fun with them in the story. I really liked them as I got to know them. :)
poor Pansy! I sure did miss Draco in this chapter but I guess gin has to have some time without him....
Author's Response: Not to worry, Draco does appear again. :)
Wonderful chapter. I love how you bring humor and drama into every addition. Well done!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Bringing the angst and drama is way too easy for me. :)
Great chapter. Maybe Pansy should take a note out of Blaise's mother's book...Just saying. I really like the Pansy/Ginny interactions. They seem to flow effortlessly together. Will Draco be coming up? I cannot wait for her to pair her friends together in one setting. Why don't they get Harry to help them with the orphan campaign? He could be the poster face for it. Happy writing.
Author's Response: I was surprised by how easily their friendship flowed in this story. I actually adore teh Pansy/Ginny friendship in this fic to pieces. Harry doesn't really get face time in this fic, sorry.
