I can appriciate that, but i feels like a candy that you can't reach:)) love it still the same but curious as to what would be the full story, you know? I recon i have hyperactive imagination so when i read WIP or drabble, i immideatly come up with multitude of "what ifs".
Author's Response: Ha! That's a funny anology for it! But you're right. Ultimately, drabbles just tease the reader. You probably have more of a story for Trapped than I do, honestly! I wrote it just thinking, "What would it be like if Ginny hated Draco? If he was horrible to her and no one knew or believed her?" That's such a scary thought to me. So I wrote out what I thought that might be like until I couldn't take it anymore. Sometimes I even wonder about the backstories of the drabbles I write, but if I think about them too much, I might have to write a sequel! Haha. I'm glad you liked it even though it was dark. I'm also glad that it made you ask questions and wonder more about the story! And thank you for reading and reviewing!

Man, these were a roller coaster in emotions.
What was Trapped written for? I'm left with a million questions. I hate what's become of her in that one and at the same time I really want to know what was up with the whole ordeal. How did she get to that point?
War was great - I'm not a fan of smut for smut sake, but here you paired it well with emotions so that wasn't the case at all. Some nice imagery in that one too like "leaves rustled like faded souls".
Loved the ending line of a dream realized, though of course I always find it more satisfying when death isn't the reason for her relationship with Harry ending.
And finally: /Did he feel sorry for ruining her fun? Of course not. She was a terrible singer, and really, glowering was what she did best./ -Lol.
Author's Response: Trapped actually wasn't written for anything. During my first forum fic exchange, One of my prompts called for a dark fic, and instead of waiting around to see if someone wrote it for me, I went ahead and wrote it myself. As I was telling Marinka, I didn't really think about the story beyond Draco being horrible and no one believing Ginny, but I did see her as being tricked into the marriage somehow. So they never loved each other; Draco just wanted the power over her. :( How that happened or why, I haven't the foggiest.
Re: your comment about A Dream Realized--My favorite DG has Ginny comin to her senses about dating Harry. In my head canon, there is no way she and Harry would have worked out post-Hogwarts, and Ginny would have been the one disatisfied with their relationship. :)
I'm glad you liked the drabbles! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

a bit sad but at the same time i want to know more about the drabbles. Why was she trapped with Draco, did he not loved her anymore or was there something else?
Author's Response: I think the best part about drabbles is that the reader can take part in shaping the story! I do understand not understanding where the author was coming from and wanting more information, but I think that's what makes reviewing great because you can get that info straight from the author. Anyway, Trapped was really dark and normally I don't like to write that kind of story because I like happily ever afters. ;_; But when I wrote it, I kind of intended that Draco trapped Ginny into marrying him. They were never happy together, but to the outside world, he acts like the perfect gentleman, which is why Ginny's family gets along with him. I don't have a motivation for him doing that though. It's a very sad story, and I prefer to keep it short because I want to get back to writing and posting happier stories!
