I used to write but have found myself uninspired. I find such wonderful work at FIA there's hardly time to write - I spend my extra time reading when I should be working on school... or at my job...

I have a number of works hosted here, at fanfiction.net and fictionalley.org

Father and Son by Leandra Elizabeth Aurora    (Reviews - 117)

David Malfoy and his twin sister Diana have a serious problem. After one of their parents' many heated rows, Draco and Ginny Malfoy part. It's worse than ever. Everybody is talking about divorce and even their elder sister has given up hope that their stubborn parents will ever get together again. Diana and David decide that there's only one way to save their parents' marriage: Magic! But something goes horribly wrong and David is transferred to the year 1997, while the seventeen-year-old Draco takes his place in the future. Now it's up to Draco to save his future marriage with the help of his daughters. Pre-HBP!

Oh, well now, really. Some things really don't change, now do they. I could see him doing this in fics 70 years younger.

Author's Response: You're right that some things never change. Draco is still as hot-headed as ever! But he'll come around. :) Thanks for the review!

I want to punch Justine in the face. *twitchtwitch* I really love these 'way in the future' fics that are starting to emerge. Please, please continue :)

Author's Response: I'm glad you are so annoyed at Justine--you feel just the way poor Draco does! I'm glad you are enjoying the story so far, and I definitely will continue, though maybe not as quickly as I would like. Real life is going to keep me away from my editing for a while! Thanks for reading and for the review!

Oh, I love it. You know, ages are slightly off methinks in the Wizarding World. I'm sure that 90 year olds aren't nearly as fragile as we muggles. I imagine that this group home is more of a communal living situation for the sake of company. I've already written about how much I love this fic, with its potential for romance, memory flashbacks, funny conversation. Good for you, Em. This is wonderful.

Author's Response: You're right that I envision it as more of a communal living situation than a nursing home. They are a bit fragile, but not too bad--wizards do age more slowly. Thank you for the lovely review!

What an upbeat end of chapter. Love, I'm going to start writing fanfics of your fanfic. "The Return to Hogwarts", "The Caverns of Notting Park" ...

Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it! Though fanfics of fanfic might be taking it a bit far. :) Thanks for the review!

I read this AGAIN and still found it funny :) Might Ginny be asking Draco to be her date for the wedding? Might she not ask him, and Draco brings her a corsage or summat anyway and wishes he a good time, and she takes him on a whim? Ah well :) I hope you're having a lovely holiday!

Author's Response: I'm glad you are still enjoying it! :) The wedding will certainly play a part in the story, but I'm not telling how! Thanks for reading--again!

And then she's going to berate herself for feeling like a little girl. I love it.

Author's Response: Ginny certainly has some thinking to do! You'll get to see some of it in the next chapter. I'm glad you're still enjoying it! Thanks for the review!

Wow - I thought it would be a bit longer than that.

hey - is ol' Ron still around? Are we going to get the satisfaction of seeing his reaction? (Please - no heart attacks)

Author's Response:

Yes, things went really quickly, but once they realized their feelings, there was really no reason to wait. I'm not going to tell you who is still around (you'll just have to wait and see), but I will say that there won't be any heart attacks, so you can rest easy. Thanks for the review!

Aw, I'm sorry there's no Ron, but I'm glad george is so happy sounding. Charlie must be ancient :D I guess Harry and Ron are together in the wizarding otherrealm or something :)

Author's Response: I would guess that Charlie is around 100 years old in this story, maybe a little more, so yes, he is old! I'm sorry I couldn't have Ron around for you, but can't imagine either Ron or Hermione outliving Harry for very long. Hopefully Albus will be an acceptable trouble-making substitute. :) Thanks for the review!

It was nice to read a long piece, but I found all the cliches made it a little shallow, actually. Will you be continuing it? There has to be more between D and G then just the sex. (I'm sorry - I double posted this before with a typo. Sorry if you got a bajillion review emails O.o )

Author's Response: Yes, I\'m continuing it. I had another story up on here but it was controversial. If you want to read it it\'s posted over at Portkey. There will be more than just sex, I just want some smut before the true drama and story begins.

Date: Dec 12, 2007 Title: Chapter 5: In Repair

This fic is interesting and I look forward to it moving towards D/G, but there are some parts I don't understand. For example, why is everyone so anti-muggle? I understand Malfoy, but Harr and Hermione joining the gang saying you can never trust muggles seems out of character.

Ted Tonks was a muggle and accepted Andromeda. Seamus' father was a muggle and left his wife after she told him. The reactions vary, but the fact is that most people tell their serious romantic partners about it. (unless you're implying Ginny told Devon on a whim? That they weren't in a serious, trusting relationship?)

Also, why does Devon repeatedly use the term "Jerk-Off". Why that insult? It makes him sound like a 14 year old, not a man :)
