I'm a rabid fan of anything Draco, Ginny, or Luna and any combination of the above. I beta for a couple of Draco/Ginny fics, but haven't yet writen anything I can post here.

Besides that I'm obsessed with all things Japanese (especially Dir en grey, a slightly deranged Japanese rock band), musicals (Rent and Wicked are currently fighting over the top spot on my list of obsessions.), and emo boys kissing.

A Tale of Two Matchmakers by Kerichi    (Reviews - 524)

Romance for three couples when Blaise and Luna use Shakespearean styled matchmaking to hook up Ginny and Draco. There's Much Ado about...something!

Nominated for a Quicksilver Quill award for Best Romance- Non Canon on Mugglenet

* Written before the HBP, this tale presents an alternate sixth year in which Dumbledore lives, Draco is more than a foil to Harry, and Blaise Zabini is a girl. I hope readers who ship Draco/Ginny will enjoy the story which includes dancing with faeries, Celtic and Norse mythology, school holidays in London and Spain, and loads of fantasy and romance. "Is this a kissing book?" (to quote the Princess Bride) Yes, it is.*

You know. I just realized the one thing I dislike about high standards. How many chapters are you ahead on FA.com? It's something like 12 I believe. Why the hell am I reading it here?

Good story though, keep it up.


Author's Response: You are a loyal soul who dislikes tiny, perhaps irritating mistakes other sites miss? :D I\'m submitting the next chap this afternoon, if that helps. :)

The whole thing with smaller more specific archives has less to do with small grammar errors and more to do with smarter and older users. I don't have to sort through as much junk on sites like this, though it's still here.

Good chapter. I was proud of Draco at the end there. He certainly had a mature moment.

Well, keep it up.

Author's Response: The image of dumpster diving on big sites makes me grin like a Cheshire Cat. The mods here are the most exacting on form. I make changes and then go update other sites, lol. Draco hasn\'t been big on self introspection and owning up to his mistakes in the past, but he grows up. (sometimes reluctantly, and snarkily, heh)

Yeah. I can't believe I'm still sticking to this version, as much as I want to find out what's next, but I am. It just is weird to switch over half way through for me.

Anyway, I liked this chapter. I can't wait for Draco to dive across the hall and snog Ginny during breakfast. I'm pumped for it.

Author's Response: I'm afraid to tell you he'll never dive across the table. He'll kiss her somewhere better, though, I promise! I also promise to keep trying to update asap. Another chap will go into the queue today!

Oh. How cute. I like like your Draco. He's not nice. Which is good. But, he's also completely clueless about how to be nice which is endearing even though it annoys me. Anyway, keep it up.

Author's Response: I am hoping that Ginny will teach him how to act. We all want to reform the bad boy.

Date: Nov 22, 2006 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Okay, this is coming along well, but I do get the feeling that Ginny and Pansy are certainly being judged by different standards. There doesn't seem to be any problem with Ginny shagging someone, but Pansy is called a whore. Just though you should realize that you're alowing some people to get away with a lot more than others.

Author's Response: Pansy was ill treated by Draco, but hopefully Ginny will show him the right way to treat a girl.

That is good monaloge. I generally dislike monologes because I don't like Ginny to seem stupid, and often it makes her seems somewhat so. Or maybe I just think that your normal schoolgirl is stupid. I really don't know. But, anyway, you'Ve done a pretty decent job of it. I actually did find it amusing. Keep it up - that way of making the monalog seem more like an intelligent human being and less like a really giddy school girl. ^_^

Author's Response: I agree with you- monologue can be a bit annoying sometimes if it\'s done poorly. I\'m glad you found mind sort of funny! Thanks a lot for the review!

I'm sorry I haven't anything worthwhile to say, so I'll just say I like this and I hope you keep going. I liked how you did Ginny's breakdown; it worked really well.

Keep it up.

Author's Response: Nonsense, that was really helpful! It's nice to hear that know you liked that part. Thanks so much for taking the time to review!

Date: Dec 04, 2006 Title: Chapter 4: Assessments, Dead Toads, and First Names

Aww...that was a sweet moment. And not in a bad way. Anyway, I've caught this story a little late, but I'll try to keep up with it from now on.

My only issue in this chapter is Ginny's description. Though it isn't something I dispute, it is a little cliche, and I want to just warn you against writing something that won't be something new. I don't think you're in danger of that; I haven't really had any warning flags go up besides that, so it's not something to worry about or to let change what you plan to write. My only advice would really be to make sure that Draco is very real to you. If you know him, then your audience will know him and relate to him and you won't have problems with him seeming cliche. The real issue with a cliche Draco is not his characterization, it's that often, the author didn't really come up with the character themselves. They've stolen someone else's version of Draco and you can never really write someone else's character. You have to give your own interpretation. That's what fan fiction is all about anyway,isn't is: A different interpretation?

Anyway, besides that, keep it up. This is good stuff.

Author's Response: Thanks for the thoughtful and through review. You\'ve certainly given me lots to think about.

Date: Dec 05, 2006 Title: Chapter 1: Ginny's Point of View

The last half of this, I really like, but I'm not as fond of the first half. The Ginny comentary makes her seem to stupidly schoolgirlish. I feel like I'm reading a fake journal. And even on the journal thing, it doesn't go too well. Maybe I'm just a weird one out, but I've never written or even read a journal entry like that except in really bad adolecent fiction. So, correct me if I'm wrong, but most people's brains are put together a little better than that, and I sure as hell hope that Ginny's is.

Author's Response: I understand what you mean by the \"stupidly schoolgirlish\" journal. However, what Lia and I were going for is just her summarizing why she and Draco are \"destined\" to hate each other. You do give me some ideas as how to make it sound less \"foolish\" though, and I thank you for that. Aubree

Date: Jan 15, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Cadence to Kaydence

I'll mention that the voice required for Wicked--in other words, a belt voice--is just about as far away as you get from Phantom in the musical catagory. And it takes years to learn, which, if you've ever tried it, I'm sure you know. It's not something anyone can do. And it's not something Ginny would be able to do. She's never had lessons, if I remember correctly.

Kaya makes me laugh. She's completely ridiculous--just like Galinda.

Sorry you have to deal with my demeaning comments. I don't hate you. Just unrealistic character traits.

I will now attempt to shut up for the rest of this story because if I complain and yet I keep reading because I'm a musical adict and I can't help myself.

Author's Response: I don\'t know about that... I think it very much depends on the person. I was born with a belt voice. Seriously. I can sing \'Wicked\' now. I\'m not as good as Idina (duh), but I could sing the show well. But I know what you mean; I\'ve taken voice lessons for a while now and I\'m just getting to the point where I could sing something like \'Phantom\' passably. Yeah, she\'s pretty ridiculous. And please don\'t apologize. Apologizing for reviewing honestly is just about as ridiculous as Kaya ;) No, don\'t shut up! I like your reviews. :D

This is a fun idea. As to whether it should be continued, I don't know. It couldn't last for very much longer, and I wouldn't know how to write it but a two chapter or three chapter thing like this could be fun. Though, it would take thinking to get it to have the dynamic of this. Like I said, I really don't know.

Author's Response: But the opinion is of course still valued. Thank you!

Remember When it Rained by blackfox360    (Reviews - 21)

One day she meets a mysterious stranger out in the rain and something tells her that he knows something he isn't willing to tell. She now must find herself (and all of her memories) before the threat that caused her accident finishes her, and her love, off.

Oh, and you didn't have a space between your AN at the top and the story. Dracoandginny.com is confusing to post on (or so I've heard), and a lot of people make this mistake. So, be special and put lots of lines there so a couple end up in the actual version.
