Draco Malfoy is so mean to Ginny Weasley.Category: Completed Short Stories
Hehe! That last part had me laughing out loud. Luckily I wasn't in the college library when reading it! ;) The first Monday of the chapter makes so much more sense. :D
I love the way you kept Draco and Ginny's relationship hidden until right near the end. All those little clues seemed blindingly obvious after that. It was a very ingenious format. This has got to be one of my favourite D/G fics. :)
Ginny Potter leaves her lover one last gift.Category: Works in Progress
This is a wonderful start to the story. There are so many questions! Why is Draco the CEO of what appears to be a Muggle company? What was his relationship with Ginny? Why had he not heard of Ginny's illness before now? Was he that much removed from the Wizarding world?
I love the style of the story. The attention to detail is very informative, but not too overbearing. Every motion is accounted for, almost as though Draco takes every step into deliberation before acting upon it.
I like Mrs. Landingham already. :) It was sweet how Draco refers to her as the mother he'd always wanted, at least in his own thoughts if not aloud.
I hope that there's more to this story - it has a very promising beginning.
Draco Malfoy, cynic extraordinaire, on his least favourite holiday of the year. Add one feisty Weaslette and way too much pink for his taste, and the results may be surprising. One-shot!Category: Completed Short Stories
A lovely light-hearted ficlet! It was great fun reading it; the banter between Draco and Ginny didn't seem forced, as it usually does when writers are aiming for a humorous storyline. Hehe, grumbling!Draco is amusing to read. His abhorrence of St. Valentine's day seems to mellow by the end, though, which was nice to see. :D
By the way, I particularly liked Draco's vocabulary. It's great to see a well-spoken Draco, instead of the many fics which don't differentiate his style of speaking with the Weasleys'.
Just one little point to consider - instead of having capital letters for emphasising words, you could use italics instead. This is because the caps seem to break up the writing too much and it makes the text look like slang in an email, rather than the well-written story that it is.
This is just something utterly depressing I wrote. Do not read if you like happy endings.Category: Completed Short Stories
Wow, a wonderfully angsty fic. I know that I've read this story several times and I never tire of reading it again. It's just very well written. Draco's character, in particular is well-developed.
You know the rhyme... first comes love, then comes marriage... Except it doesn't quite work out that way for Draco & Ginny.Category: Long and Completed
Aw, what a lovely ending.
~He wanted to be the father his father started to be, but couldn't quite manage.~
That's got to be one of my favourite lines. Not sure why, but it particularly struck home.
This was a brilliant story - I'm definitely going to add it to my favourites. :)
So very hot. Everything from the intimate moments to the talking afterwards..
But Narcissa! I wonder what's happened.. :S
Oh my. I don't know what to say. Poor Draco. I've got tears in my eyes now.. I hope Ginny can give him some comfort, at least.
Lucius must have loathed himself to be able to cast the Adava Kedavra curse on himself. I had a horrible feeling that you were going to kill off Lucius, but I wouldn't have guessed that it would be in this way.
Amazing writing, yet again.
*giggles* It's wonderful how Draco and Ginny are slowly, gradually getting things sorted between them. Draco's declaration of love was lovely. I dread to think how Lucius will try to ruin their moment though.
Finally!! *grins crazily* They've both finally admitted they love each other. *happy sigh* Although I felt like knocking some sense into Ginny several times throughout the past few chapters, I'm glad it's all come together now.
Lol! Go Ginny! That's most definitely one way to make Draco speechless. Hehehe.
By the way, I like the way that Ginny and Draco interact in this fic. They're laid back and natural when with each other - that's not something that has been done as well in any other fic. I think maybe it's because they don't feel the need to constantly antagonise each other as they do in other fanfics, or if they're just more mature here. In any case, it's very well written.
Lol. I was almost as struck about Narcissa's about-face as Ginny was. But what I loved most of all was the last line - it made me laugh aloud. *grins*
~This marriage suddenly got a lot more interesting.~
Aw, I absolutely *adore* this chapter. Draco is such a dear. I think too much more exposure to this calibre of writing and I may turn into mush. It's very romantic.
~Could he make Ginny fall in love with him while the whole world watched?~
A very intriguing thought. I haven't found a fic with quite this angle before and it's very refreshing. I am eager to see how it'll pan out.
*squees at the kiss*
The moment at the end there, between Draco and Ginny was magical. Er, pardon the pun. It's amazing how you can make the kiss sound so wonderful.
I didn't think Ginny's diplomatic skills were so well developed. I love that Charlie and Bill were there just to make sure Ginny was all right, even if they didn't say as much.
I enjoyed the Black family back-story. It's always nice to see that the author of a story has thought through where the characters have come from.
The last part was cute. I wonder how long it'll take until they admit their marriage will be rather more permanent! ;)
~Draco rubbed his thumb against the smooth metal of his wedding band.
She would be safe… and single.~
Aw! Poor, dear Draco. He'll put himself through misery just to have her be safe. *sighs* Why don't these kinds of guys exist in real life!?
It's very well written - the angst, the underlying feelings, all of it. I'm going to rush along and read the rest now. :)
Draco faces sixth year without his father's support, but standing alone in Slytherin is by no means easy. Can he do it alone? Or will he need help...Category: Long and Completed
You have no idea how much I love reading your stories that involve the High Clan. They've got the brilliant mixture of politics, intrigue, historical background and opens up so many possibilities, that I love re-reading them.
Ah, the mention of the true Games beginning brings a heightened sense of anticipation, almost making the stream of Draco's thoughts spiral up and up until they reach this peak. And it is there that you stop and work with Snape's pov. Wonderful.
It's great to see that Ginny's reaction is realistic; too often D/G fics have Ginny secretly pining away for Draco for years only to have her jump at the chance to be with Draco when he's vulnerable.
The way that Lucius stiffened ever-so-briefly and had just a hint of sibilance in his tone due to the forced nature of his words as he realised the extent of what he had gambled was extraordinarily subtle, as was the whole of the conversation between him and Finch.
The Weasley family gathers to remember loved ones gone. *Please read/heed the warnings and read the author's note.*Category: Completed Short Stories
Oh my. I don't know what to say. This story is absolutely heart-breaking. That last line had my eyes watering. The remarks that children make can be so touching in times of grief and you've shown that so eloquently in this short story. This is definitely one of my all-time favourite stories.
Every time. Every single time I read this, the last line makes me cry. I know what's going to happen, but still, the simple innocence of a child is just too heart-breaking. What an amazing fic.
Draco and Ginny both mask their desire with anger. (Sonnet form)Category: Poetry
Wonderful. Absolutely brilliant. I am in awe of how you've managed to condense the whole essence of the Draco/Ginny banter-turning-into-passion into a sonnet. This is going on my fave's list. :)
She watched him. She loved him. He never noticed - until it was convenient.Category: Works in Progress
I can't remember how many times I've read this story, every time wanting and hoping that there'll be a new chapter added soon. This rather unique situation that Draco and Ginny find themselves in, is wonderfully written. It's such a shame that the story hasn't been continued, as the characters' thoughts and emotions have been so well developed and explored and the storyline is brilliant. I had my heart in my throat when Ginny's eyes started watering at the sight of her parents on the dance-floor.
It'd be great to see Draco see that Ginny loves him; or even figure out that he loves her, so that then maybe their marriage can become something more than one of convenience.
Here's to hoping that there'll be more of this story soon! xx :)
I can't believe that this story just stops here! Especially after that heart-breaking cliff-hanger!
I hope that you will decide to continue with this story some time soon.
At the age of sixteen Ginny Weasley goes to bed, little does she know that fate has decided to mess with her life. Tyche bored with life as the half-sister to the three fates brightens up her day by re-weaving time so that Ginny has a little glimpse of her future famliy.Category: Works in Progress
Hehe, it's great to see a sent-to-the-future story that actually has some background plot to it. I wonder how Ginny and Draco ended up together.
Is this story discontinued? It'll be a shame if it is, as it's got great promise. I would very much enjoy reading a new chapter, if you ever decide to write one.
An essay written by your Site Mommy on the topic of things that those of us who read through and approve your fics wish you wouldn't do.Category: Essays
I would like to add my thanks to those already down here for this great essay. Whilst not being a writer myself, I absolutely love reading fanfics, but ones of good quality have been increasingly difficult to find before I came across this site. I thank you mods for the time and effort you all put into filtering through the sub-par fics. I had been growing increasingly disillusioned after trawling through FF.net
The overly long descriptions of dress and appearance are points that really frustrate me, so I'm particularly glad that you had that in.
Heh, I find it hilarious how many authors have reviewed this essay by gushing - deservedly, in my opinion - about how true this essay is, but they really lose the impact by actually managing to do so without proper grammar /spelling/ punctuation. *sighs* I hope that some people will have benefited from this great essay.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading more of your work, whether it be fiction or an essay. :)
