Well, the most obvious thing about me is that I'm an obsessive D/G fan.

Read loads of fics, wrote a couple of them (not really good ones, though), and I'm going to write more (to practice my English - I'm French).

Also an artist, though I'm not very good at that, either.

A graphic design student, a fighter for animal rights and a waitress in a restaurant where a bunch of depressed business people complain about too little or too much chocolate on their croissants.

Soon-to-be wife of a spoiled wannabe punk star (emphasis on "wannabe"), we share a flat that has an amazing view on...... the Parisian parking lots (there's this really amazing Volvo right under our window that's so awesome that it should be on every official tour through the city :) )

I like large, interesting earrings (and jewelry in general), Dark Fantasy novels whose lead characters don't remind me of Buffy (though I like Buffy, too, it's just annoying how everyone's trying to make their book more popular by creating a similar heroine), TV shows "Charmed" and "One Tree Hill", B-production movies with good plots I watch with my friends on Thursday evenings, long, interesting scarfs, purses, cats, trashy mangas and croissants.

(I also like reviews, btw)

This story is amazing (I honestly don't know why I haven't reviewed before).

I love how your focus not only on Draco and Ginny (who, are, btw, beautifully characterized), but you flesh out other characters, too.

You've created a wonderful world, too, and made this war seem eerily like World War 2, with their textbooks and experiments on humans. The bond between Draco and Ginny, the various subplots and the constant element of surprise - each time we think it's over, something new happens and turns the plot to a whole new direction - are all wonderfully written. So is Snurk's obsession with Bella, Harry turning evil while he constantly tried to do the right thing (I was always fascinated by such characters)......

Also, I thought of that person who was at the Burrow, and the memory scene when Snape is watching a blonde baby.......... and I couldn't help but think something between the lines of "Draco's got a twin brother", although that was kind of silly of me. Because identical twins have the same DNA............ I think. I possibly said the most ridiculous thing in the world right now, I'll go ask my friend later (she studies genetics... she'll know), so if I'm blatantly wrong, just ignore this part.

Or Draco has a brother who's Cissa and Snape's love child (that way, someone will be able to save Snape).

I can't really decide what mad theory to follow. I just can't stop thinking about that bit, screw psycho-Harry and Tam Lin.

And what did you mean under "DH compilant". I can bet that will have to do something with that wand that's one of the Deathly Hallows - when I read about it, I actually thought of your story, especially since it turned out it belonged to Draco for a while. I hope that it doesn't mean Harry and Ginny will end up together, since it means that Ginny ends up with a quazi-psychopath and Draco ends up with some nondescript person after all they've went through.

(what can I say - I love theorizing and your story inspires me to do that a lot)

It's a brilliant story, and thanks for putting up with my crazy banters.

Oh, and how is this a new chapter? I've read all this way back in July and then, about fifteen days later there were only 91 chapters and you updated things I've already read ever since. (unless my computer's a magical computer that can go forwards in time..... I hope it's that one)

Crossing into Chaos by Emeral_eyes    (Reviews - 512)

*Completely AU* In a world where Voldemort was never defeated, only a few things matter: pureblood, money and power. All that Ginny Weasley wanted was to survive her 7 years at Hogwarts, a school where the children of the richest and most powerful wizards dominate over others. Denying her natural instincts, she managed to make it into her 6th year without offending any of the cruel and powerful Slytherins - especially that horrible Draco Malfoy. Until one day, she crosses a line, and her peaceful existence is shattered forever. A story filled with adolescent drama, clash of the classes, angst, jealousy, ridiculous pride and love triangles (and squares).

Ahhh, finally! I've been waiting for this for so long, and it's much better then I expected it to be!!

Their characterizations are wonderful, the way you developed the AU world is great, too - the only believable AU I've read in ages - and I love how you combined little bits and pieces of different HYD characters to make Claire, and, generally, I like how you threw HYD into the HP world and made it work perfectly.

I love this fic, and I hope you'll update more regularly. I've almost forgot about it and squeed when I saw the update - now I'm going to re-read all of it because it's just that great. Keep up the good work.

Date: Dec 01, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Manipulation

This is a really great, refreshing fic with a great twist on a horribly cliched plot, and I liked it very much. I was glad to see Ginny be the manipulator for once......

Also, at some point, Draco mentions he saw a pirate cartoon on TV. How come that a guy from a family of snobbish purebloods who hate Muggles and believe in pureblood supremacy have electricity in their house and own a TV, a Muggle device? This kind of threw me out of the story, but, generally, this is one of the most refreshing fics I've read in months and I think that everything but this little thing I pointed out is just great.

Thanks for sharing!

Forty-seven Footsteps by Pipperstorms    (Reviews - 22)

“Draco Malfoy! Don’t walk away from me!” She called, for once in their six month relationship, she was the one afraid of being abandoned, realizing now that he could leave her. Her words made him stop, but when he turned his metallic gaze upon her, she could see the damage she had done shinning angrily back at her. Just like everyone else, she had let him down.

The fic is great, especially since Avril's one of my favourite singers and "When You're Gone" is my new favourite song (coincidentally, I was listening to it as I read the fic, and it fit perfectly). It has a very realistic touch to it, and Draco wasn't OOC at all. It's nice to read one where *Ginny* doesn't want to go public, and I love how the roles are turned this time. Not a crying fic, but it did make my heart ache for them. And I love the open ending, it makes you wonder what happened to them, why Ginny doesn't want to tell everyone about their relationship, did they continued to date..... I love fics that leave something to the reader's imagination.
Loved it.

Author's Response: And you get bouns points for not asking me to continue! No, but anyways, thank you. I find it creepy that so many people just happen to be listening to that song as they were read. I was going for the heart ache with this story, and am happy to have reached it. Thank you for your review! :-)

Your first kiss was so good. Mine was crap. I'm jealous.

Also, if this wasn't a D/G archive, the whole "it doesn’t matter if they think you need to change the world. Just do what makes you happy. You’re not obligated just because you’re smart.” would make me think of D/Hr, or some other Hermione ship.

But, coincidentally, that's what my boyfriend says to me :)

The scenery, and all of the descriptions are wonderful, and I really hope I'll see more of your writing soon :)

Nice to see you again!
Your writing style is just amazing, all the small details that make it so vivid, the doomed romance, Ginny torn between Draco and Harry. They're aware of how doomed their relationship is, but they still move on, loving and hating each other...and how, when they meet again, they've changed, and all that's left is memories.... (just in case you missed it, I'm still talking about what I liked about it) I love this fic, it's strange there's only three reviews because it's great. Thanks for sharing :)

Oh, I like this, very interesting! It seems it's going to be very interesting, and I LOVE mysteries, especially shows/books/anything with profilers. I think this is going to be one of my new favourite WIPs....

Also, is the killer Collin Creevey or Dean Thomas? (Dean is a Muggle-born and is said to have talent for drawing, and Collin is also a Muggle-born, and is a photographer since he appeared in the books, and the murderer took the pictures....Collin could also have some trouble with woman, but you never know who it is....)

I love theorizing, so I think I'm going to absolutely LOVE this

Author's Response: Oh, I'd love to discuss this with you, but I don't want to spoil anything for you.  Have fun theorizing, all will be revealed in time.  Thanks for reviewing and for your kind words.

Oh, I've seen D/G parodies of just about everything, but I've never seen a Cinderella one (probably because it doesn't have any connection to D/G)! It's really interesting! (btw, who are the stepsisters? Lavender and Parvati or something similar?)

I loved this. I love the relationships between Harry, Ginny and Draco, and I love the metaphor of falling in love being like hitting into a brick wall.

It flowed greatly as Ginny's thoughts skipped to one point from another and, though we saw no direct interaction, we could see the essence of their relationships.

I like that I could read a fic where Ginny was with Draco AND was in good relations with Harry - they're quite hard to find.

I also love the white lilies, both on Harry's funeral and Draco's wedding - nice touch.

Thanks for the great read :)
