OO! Definitely continue this one please! It's so amazingly good, i want to see just how far Draco goes with an unconscious Ginny, and how she would react when she finds out what has been happening.

The Lush Life by Vesanmyn    (Reviews - 657)

A Vesica/Mynuet Collaboration. If Ginny had even the slightest inkling of what the day would bring, she probably would have called in sick. A disastrous press conference proved to be no match for the spin doctoring talents of Lush's chief and Ginny finds herself catapulted from being a lowly intern to the very eye of the storm, living a double life as a careerwitch and glamorous front woman for a racy new line. Throw in a few A-list events, a few dozen crises, an endless promotional tour with her new co-worker and the last person she wanted to spend time with, and a mystery waiting back home that neither of them may be able to solve….Every day's an adventure when you're living the Lush Life!

Wonderful! I find that I am really enjoying this story. When it first began I was uninterested, but that was mostly because I am cautious when great stories start; too often the story is never finished and flies around in the author's head (I am not pointing fingers, I am too guilty of it myself.) I see that there have been more updates and I am thrilled at the different appeal of the story.
I am half-tempted to "beg" or "bribe" for more updates simply because you remarked on them in your note, but I am just happy to see the story written at all.
I am very much looking forward to seeing more about the embezzling and the developments in Draco and Ginny's relationship both in work and in love.
Some part of me thinks it would be awesome fun if Draco tried to convince Ginny that the life-sized poster he ordered needs to be placed in the office, since it is the... er, face of the new line of couture. "No, NO NO!" "But it only makes sense; it is the basis of our advertising campaign."
Good luck and have fun! That's the most important thing to do when writing a fan-fiction.
Until later, I bow to your illustrious awesomeness.

Author's Response: Ves says: Okay, when you see the new chapter – you will understand my awe/fear at your mindreading powers there. :D I can understand approaching this with caution – it’s a lot to read and is still unfinished. But we aren’t going to let this one die. No way!!\r\n
Myn says: *whistles innocently and avoids the pointed finger* But with this story, Ves is there to keep me on track, and so it will remain being worked on forever, or until it’s finished. Whichever comes first.\r\n

"Ves says: Okay, when you see the new chapter – you will understand my awe/fear at your mindreading powers there. :D I can understand approaching this with caution – it’s a lot to read and is still unfinished. But we aren’t going to let this one die. No way!!rn"

I feel honored and special. I can't claim to have much mind-reading powers because it was fairly obvious as to where it was going. Mind-reading powers would be guessing that she would confiscate it to make a coat-rack out of it; I am simply not that good.

It's truly an excellent story, your claws have struck the target and I am finding it hard to believe that I can rip through re-reading the chapters as fast as I am. I am sincerely looking forward to the next update.

Author's Response: Ves says: It was still some excellent reading and thinking there. Thanks again!\r\n

\r\nMyn says: So we\'re predictable and clawing? *sniff* Okay, no, really, thanks. I know what you meant.\r\n

You are rather horrible with cliff-hangers. That is respectable in another writer, it keeps them all coming back for more in a more or less addictive state. *inhales story* I fully admit that i am addicted as well.

Author's Response: I must admit I am rather. But like you say, it keeps the readers on the edge of their seats, not knowing where I'll take it next. Some addictions can be healthy and I count 'Fanfic addiction' among them. I'm addicted to several fics myself. LOL Thank you for reviewing.

Playing Romeo by Ladidah    (Reviews - 6)

In order to improve interhouse relations at Hogwarts, Dumbledore insists that the students perform a play which (ironically) ends up being Romeo and Juliet. Loosely based off a challenge at Portkey, but it's been so long I'm just going to do it my way.

I've reread this fic over the years, and only now realized the significance of the law firm's name. It always struck me before, but it hit me today with the force of blinding suns.
I chuckled quietly to myself.

Redeeming the Dragon by thelovinspoonful    (Reviews - 349)

"Perhaps it really didn't matter what he was, perhaps it just mattered that he was." Unexpected events lead to unexpected relationships. Can one person be so important to the destruction of Voldemort? Nothing happens by chance, but sometimes, life might be simpler if it did.

Wow, poor Ginny. Two realizations in one day. It must be a really introspective day for her.

Author's Response: Yes, a long day for her indeed.

BLARG! So beautiful and now I am upset that the Trio is getting involved. I really enjoyed this. I like that you still incorporate the fact that she is Gryffindor. I fell that too many fan fictions say that she is more of a Slytherin at heart.
Keep it up!

All That I'm Living For by japdragon    (Reviews - 13)

AU. Ginny and Draco had gotten together during Ginny's fifth year. After a particularly nasty fight, she pushed him away because he reminded her of Tom and she was scared of what might happen again.

Date: May 15, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: All That I'm Living For

It's a little angsty for me. I do believe that people can experience this, but it was a little hurried and a little rushed.
I am not sure I could have written the same feelings better, but it reminded me a little too much of "woe is me" teenage drama that seems childish to a large extent.
Overall, I can appreciate what you are saying, I myself just didn't particularly enjoy it.

Author's Response: Thanks for the honesty! I really do appreciate it! It is a bit dark and hurried, but since I plan to make a whole long fic out of it, hopefully it will make more sense and not be so angsty-drama-queen-ish. ;). As for the actual experiences, I thankfully never have, but I have some very close friends that have dealt with these things, so I\'ve tried my best to keep it realistic through what they\'ve shown me.

I enjoyed this. I just read another fiction with teen angst, but this was more mature. I cannot quite explain why or how this was better in my mind, but I enjoyed it.

Interlude by Mourning Broken Angel    (Reviews - 145)

*Final chapter added* Parenting can be overwhelming, even for wizards. Especially when there are teenagers involved. Draco and Ginny, summoned to Hogwarts for a conference with their children's Head of House, share an interlude neither can forget.

Thank you, canon enough for me and lovely to see that Malfoy are pigtail-pullers to the end.

Author's Response: Full canon was a nice Ficmas challenge and Malfoys will pull pigtails until they\'re in the grave (at least in my stories). Thanks for the review!

The Dating Charade by idreamofdraco    (Reviews - 217)

When a case of workplace sexual harassment leaves Ginny in a truly desperate state, the natural thing to do is to convince Draco Malfoy to pretend to be her boyfriend. Naturally.

I have to say... I heartily enjoy the incorporation of a snitch tattoo in this. Maybe it isn't as original as you thought, but I LOVE the line Draco says.

Author's Response: Yes!! I just loved that idea so much. And Draco's one-liner. *swoon* I'm so glad you enjoyed the way I incorporated the tattoo into this story!!

Reviewer: archirat Signed
Date: Mar 30, 2021 Title: Chapter 13: Thirteen: A Shocking Discovery

I love how you have written such a tender and honorable Draco. He is a good person, thoigh flawed and prideful.

I love how you've written his complexity and vulnerability with his virginity. That he isn't some self-obsessed sex God. That he worries about the morality of mastubating to Ginny.

Brilliant. I cannot wait for this to be completed.

Author's Response: Thank you soooo much. I think writing this story, more than any of my others, I kinda of cemented what my headcanon of Draco is, and this is it. Awkward, maybe pathetic in some people's eyes. Inexperienced and maybe asexual in some ways, some part of the spectrum. And then, because this is a romantic story, I added some elements that I would seek in a partner, his tenderness, his honor. I always enjoy writing Draco, but this story has been quite an experience writing him and developing him and seeing who he is. I'm so glad you've enjoyed reading my take on him. Thank you so much for reading and letting me know your thoughts!
