Typical twenty-something here who's been dabbling in fanfiction for a while now. I find it hard to work on continuing projects with my schedule, but I do try.

I am also a beta reader at Perfect Imagination and a member of the Cabal here at FIA. Any technical problems with the site can be forwarded to me as well, as I am now the Technical Administrator.

I'd like to add that if you have any doubt about the grammar, punctuation, or any other aspect of your story, then don't hesitate to find a beta reader. There are always people willing to help. See the forums for more detail.

So I'm a little speechless right now. The last two chapters of this story have kept me completely spellbound as I read them. The pace at first was a bit slow for how my tastes normally run, but I thought it matched well the subtle cunning of the actions of the Clans... then the first shock for me came in the previous chapter with the revelation of Katherine's twin sister Lily... only to be followed by the culmination of the action which is not unlike the ley lines being drawn together in final resolution. Absolute perfection. I'd write more but I'm dying to get to the next chapter. One of the best plots in fanfiction that I have ever read.

I really love the way you write Draco - powerful and vulnerable at the same time, but with a twist thrown in that makes him irresistably evil.  I guess it just feeds into my penchant for messed up men, but what can I say.  You write very well.  What gets me is that so far this Draco definitely seems the most normal of all, so I really wonder what must be coming.  I see how that is a cliffie, I mean Draco isn't a person to be all normal and happy for long, now is he?

Hesperides' Apple by ogygiasylph    (Reviews - 871)

When Ginny Weasley becomes Draco Malfoy's wife, he suspects neither her true identity nor her dangerous motives. But when all Hell breaks lose and their relationship takes unexpected turns, there is more at stake than preserving their marriage--namely, preserving their lives.

Another great chapter, as usual. Sorry I'm not a better reviewer, but I get excited every time I see an update.

From your comment on my other review: I used "the other shoe to drop" to describe the suspense, and waiting for whatever is to come. I don't really know where the phrase comes from, though.

Author's Response: LOL Lyndsie... Sorry I can't surprise you anymore :/ (Although I DO have one page of the next chapter. Wheee! I think I might have to start it over, though...)

Shall Rise Again by Peki    (Reviews - 292)

Sequel to Break in the sun (till the sun breaks down). For a few blissful hours, the differences between them did not matter. But as Draco and Ginny struggle with their budding relationship, they must soon discover that many things separate them still - family, friends and society as well as their own explosive tempers. The future they want for themselves comes at a price, and reconciling what they each want out of life is a challenge that might just break them apart...

The Postcard by elentari    (Reviews - 6)

After Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldemort, and the Aurors counted the survived and the fallen, two people are missing – Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley. The story follows the last days before their disappearance when Draco had a memory-loss and an important mission for the Dark Lord, and Ginny had the Malfoy engagement ring on her finger and determination to stop him from massacring dozens of people. After a year, a postcard comes and assures their families that they’re not dead – they just fled so he can show her the world.

Date: Aug 08, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: The Postcard

I read this over at the exchange. I enjoyed it then, and again now. One of my favorite parts: So since when I first woke up the people around me explained who I am, whom I socialize with and what I should do, I’m kind of disappointed. I’m a Death Eater, I’m evil, and I really thought that I was a better person.

This was very poignant for me. I liked it very much.

Author's Response: Yeah, people loved that characterization of Draco, how he\'s disappointed with being an evil person and all that. I don\'t really like it, and I usually characterize him differently, but I was playing on Draco\'s ego for a bit, so he\'d expect himself to be a great person. I tried very hard not to make it one of those stereotypical memory-loss fics.

I care what's on Myn's lists of hates. Lots of people care. In fact, I'm not sure if it is Mynuet who really hates 'Mal-ferret' or another member of the Cabal--who decide the rules based on things and behavior we hate, so you should care as well.

And I don't believe it's that complicated to get a beta on PI. A little time-consuming, if it takes a while to find someone who'll accept your project, but not that complicated. (How do I know? I'm an admin at PI as well.) Also, you can go to our very own FIA Forums, in the beta section, and look for one there, as well as on many other sites (I know for sure that Fiction Alley has a beta area).

Author's Response: It\'s not complicated getting a beta. Its changing beta\'s, that\'s the difficult part. And I like my beta, although getting in contact with her has been tricky of late. \r\nAnd I actually need to get rounding to getting myself beta-accreditation. I didn\'t get it completed in time when I did the test-thing. Such is the work-consumed life of the AS student (stupid English education system).\r\n\r\nAnd apologises for the \'Mal-ferret\' on caring or not. It\'s not that I don\'t care about others opinions, but whether or not it\'s a Cabal hate, I\'m not using it to demonstrate Ginny as a spitfire or because it\'s \'clever\' - I don\'t think it is anyway. I\'m using it a simply a nickname or passing phrase. One which, as an author of D/G fanfiction and shipping, am rather fond of, hence the inclusion.
