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

LOL! Oh, lovely! Will he be keeping that one?

Author's Response: Yes, that is one condition he will definitely keep. He wouldn\'t want to lose Ginny now, would he? \r\nThank you for your review!

Faerie Tales and Dragonflies by gidge_8    (Reviews - 200)

Light-hearted and fun. Ginny Weasley finds herself the target of a bit of manipulation while helping Narcissa Malfoy plan her 25th anniversary ball until mischief and a little mayhem land her squarely in a Cinderella situation. Romance abounds, with a litle help from the faeries. Winner - Best Portrayal of Ginny Weasley - 2008 dg ficexchange.

This makes me very sad for Ginny, but she did have it coming :(

Author's Response: I think that\'s what I like about her in this fic, is that she\'s not perfect. She\'s not a total bad egg, but just takes the easy way along, until it gets her into trouble. We all have times like that in our lives. Thanks for the feedback.

Uh oh. This is going to go down soon!

Author's Response: Soon, gentle reader. Soon. The next chapter is beta\'d. I just need to keep away from it for a couple of days so I can go over it once more myself.

Date: Jul 08, 2008 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14 - The Grand Finale

Lovely! I'm sorry to see it done, but I enjoyed it immensely! Honestly, I think you downplayed the Francine to Ginny thing - I felt it should have been more climactic. But I love it!

Author's Response: There is so much more I could have added. Originally, I had a whole bunch of characters for the Quidditch team, and interactions with other teammates and Draco while she was acting as Francine. I did what I could in the 4 weeks that I had for the fic exchange, so, I guess I\'m grateful for the deadline or I\'d have never finished. Thank you so very very much for the feedback.

Wishes For Your Soul by Lirie Halliwell    (Reviews - 170)

The idea of "renting" her soul out to anyone - let alone a former Slytherin nemesis - did not sit well with Ginny Weasley. But circumstances always tend to go askew and when she finds herself in a dire position, Ginny has no choice but to relent, accepting the deal and the seven wishes offered as payment.

Argh!! I got way to end wish six, I guess. I have a good recommendation for wish 7 - wish him back!

Great concept - a new one for me!

Oh, I'm sorry Lirie. I don't get the ending :( I think you should flesh it out a bit to maybe include facial expressions and actions. I'm sorry - It feels like the ending should have "punch", it's one that didn't hit me :(

Funny how you mention this as "HBP and below". I like this as "All but epilogue", personally :)

Author's Response: Now that I think about it, you\'re right. I\'ll pop over and change that. I have a hard time picking that part when I\'m loading a new story. I believe the fanfic more than the original now.
