Born a Leo in the year of the Dragon, I love adventure. Hobbies include flying (pilot since 1999) and karate instructor. Really.
I love romance stories, but not smut for smut's sake. My stories tend to be hopeful and I love a strong female character, which is why I like Ginny, or at least what she's intended to be: a little tomboy-ish, and just a wee bit influenced by the twins.
My stories here definitely reflect my growth as a writer. Clearly, my older work has some flaws and every time I re-read them, I feel compelled to correct small things. Nevertheless, they still have a charm and rather good plots. It's rather fun to see that I've actually gotten better over time, and hope to continue to do so, so feedback, especially of the constructive kind, is most appreciated.

Wow, this was very, very moving in several spots. The interaction with Harry got me all choked up, and of course, the letter to Arthur was so very moving. Powerfully written, to say the least.
I totally loved it, even though it is so very sad and angsty.

I think that this is by far the best portrayal of Draco that I have read in a very, very long time. You have a perfect interpretation of the character from the books, where he remains absolutely nasty. He revels in the vicious comments and enjoys tormenting the golden trio as much as possible. It's perfect. You haven't turned him into some gentle wimp just because he likes Ginny.
Also, your interpretation of the golden trio is remarkable. I love that you haven't changed them into something annoying. They are very true to the original characters, therefore still likable. They contribute to the plot without being overbearing. Very rare that people capture this so very well.
And the plot makes sense.
I guess, overall, I really love this fic. Thanks for writing such a lovely gem.

Vineyard Summer by jessica k malfoy (Reviews - 387)
Ginny Weasley is sent to stay with her grandparents until the war ends, as her parents want to keep her out of harm's way. Her grandparents have another guest, another person in hiding, and a relationship quickly blossoms between them. However, with the war and so many secrets around them, Ginny isn't sure how to make it work. Fluffy occasionally, but things can't always be perfect, can they? Decisions have to be made and consequences dealt with.Category: Works in ProgressFor a fleeting moment, she imagined that they would never hear from their families again, that they would remain together in Tuscany until they were old and gray, with great-grandchildren. Much to her surprise, the thought didn’t make her as sad as she thought it should.

Gosh. I loved this ages ago, and was thrilled to see it appear again. Thought that the theme of dragons and the child were absolutely captivating, as well as an obviously complicated d/g relationship.
I was so hoping that seeing it as a featured story meant that it was finished, but, alas, I was disappointed. I do hope that this gets finished.
