Hi there, I stumbled upon your fic and read all 18 chapters in one sitting. Your plot lines, characterisation and prose are all exquisite indeed!

Good luck on all that you're working on in real life! And I hope you'll find some time to complete this fic... or at least let your readers know how it ends (I could live with that ;) )

I know how difficult it can be to get back to writing after such a long time, especially when RL is not cooperative.

I just wanted to thank you - this story is still very much loved; it got me into fandom, which in turn lead to writing myself. This story is still one of my all time favourites!

Hi! i know its been a couple years since you have done anything to this story, but i implore you, PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP ON THIS FIC! it is truly amazing and i have enjoyed reading every word of it! i HAVE to know how it ends. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP WRITING!

I just re-read this story, its definitely one of my absolute favorites! Considering how they started off, I think the relationship between Draco and Ginny progresses at a realistic level :) And thank you, thank you, thank you for not making Lucius an abusive father/husband who doesn't give a damn one way or another, I always thought that the Malfoy family was just as loving as the Weasleys (although they obviously don't show it in the same way)! I really hope you update soon and hope you're having a good start to the New Year :)

Author's Response: Yeah I hate the abusive Lucius characterisations - If Lucius was cruel, Draco wouldn't be such an obnoxious little shit in canon - it's more likely that Lucius is indulgent, has high expectations of his son and is probably fairly emotionally aloof but not cold. In canon we see that he takes the hit for Draco's 'failure' so clearly he's not above sacrificing himself.

When I first got interested in reading this I read the reviews to see if you'd replied to any, and was so happy when I found you had! The I read the actual review and was wary of the story as I don't like horribly dark fic, espesically when Draco forcibly takes Ginny against her will, but then o thought why not give it a shot?

I'm happy that I read your review beforehand and agree with that although Ginnys mindset was disgusted she did agree with everything and it was consensual and it was an interesting look into what a person in an arranged marriage might have to go through, chapter after chapter it was wonderful to see Ginny opening up to Draco ever so slowly but if it had be any fast I don't think it would have worked for the fic. Anyways this is getting rather long winded I supposed but I just wanted to say this is an amazing story and I'm thrilled that it hadsnt been abandoned like I fear when I saw the last update! This is me eagerly awaiting your next update :D

Author's Response: I'm really glad you decided to give it a shot! I am still writing (allbeit very very slowly) so I have no idea when the next chapter will be, but I am pleased that you enjoyed the character progression. It's difficult for me to really know exactly how a woman would feel in an arranged marriage situation as I am not, nor ever likely to be subject to one. However I have known a few people that are and mostly they are worried or ambivilent or worse - niave. I wanted Ginny to KNOW her 'responsibilities' and 'duties' and I wanted her to have chosen them as the lesser of two evils. Later on in the story you will eventually see that she was given a choice and opted to sign a prenup (which makes sense of the 'interview' chapter a little bit too). We saw in Deathly Hallows that Voldemort values purity of blood, even despite the actions of the pureblood in question (Neville, for example), so it is not a stretch of the imagination that when presented with a way to preserve an old and pureblooded line by tying it to Draco in a forced marriage, he would be happy with that arrangement. Particularly as he is so arrogant as to consider her no threat at all. I know it's been a good couple of years since I updated but my life really has changed and moved on and my time for writing is so very limited now that I make slow progress. And when you think I have several 'Works in progress' it is impossible to tell you when the next update will be I'm afraid. Either way, I am very glad you enjoyed the story and are still reading. :-)

AWESOME .. PLEASE DO WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER
PRETTY PLEASE

Amazing! I can't wait for the next part :]

I guess the best way to start my first review is to say I am love -love -love -love -love -love -love -love -love -love -loving it so far.

It was just recomended to me recently and I'm allready rabidly immersed in the plotline. Can't wait to read more.

No pressure though. Keeping the inspiration coming can be difficult. But hey, you have a fanbase's support :)
cheers!

Fabulous story. Looking forward to more on this fic someday. Love all your work; upset that many won't be continued, but I do understand about life and change and everything in between. Would love to see more from you in the future. Thanks!

You know we all understand, and if you do update this awesome fic that deserves every praise it can possibly get, every reader will be jumping with joy, including myself. So keep going, whenever you can, and don't stop until you're completely satisfied with the result!

You simply must continue this story it is just phenomenal and I want to know what happens!!!

Wow. This story is fantastic. It's believable as well. I have never liked the Harry is the holy hero business, he's too looked-upon. This fic shows a rather different turn of events than those portrayed in canon, and I adore it. I have always loved the ship of Draco and Ginny, and you, dear Myanceris have done it justice. I cannot wait to see the next installment. Hopefully it will come in the near future. Cheers. :)
