Choosing Evil by Mynuet    (Reviews - 68)

Why was Ginny Weasley standing in a circle of robed and cloaked figures, swathed in black except for her uncovered left arm? Why was the littlest member of a family ruled by a muggle-obsessed patriarch awaiting being branded with the Dark Mark?

Absolutely fabulous, especially as said 'film-that-must-not-be-named' happens to be one of my faves!

Oh - and I forgot to ask, where did you get the info about the meaning of black roses? I'm very interested in the 'language of flowers' and have recently been doing some reading on it to use in my own story - but haven't seen anything about black roses!

I've been put off reading this for a very long time as I thought it would be too sad for me - I never thought I would like stories with angst.
But recently I have read a few stories which have made me realise that angst doesn't necessarily mean a story with no hope or an unbearably miserable ending.

Your story is a perfect example of that, a beautifully written tale which, yes, is a sad and horrible tale; but one with some sort of hope running through it.

And I love that, I love the thought that even through the worst of things there can be something or someone to cling to.

Thank you for the wonderful one shot.

The Lush Life by Vesanmyn    (Reviews - 657)

A Vesica/Mynuet Collaboration. If Ginny had even the slightest inkling of what the day would bring, she probably would have called in sick. A disastrous press conference proved to be no match for the spin doctoring talents of Lush's chief and Ginny finds herself catapulted from being a lowly intern to the very eye of the storm, living a double life as a careerwitch and glamorous front woman for a racy new line. Throw in a few A-list events, a few dozen crises, an endless promotional tour with her new co-worker and the last person she wanted to spend time with, and a mystery waiting back home that neither of them may be able to solve….Every day's an adventure when you're living the Lush Life!

Wow - I've just noticed that it's nearly a year since you updated - I hope you havent given up on this story as it brilliant (while I don't know you and this will probably come out sounding incredibly creepy - I hope everything's ok...)

I'll still keep an eye out for updates - heck if I still check up on The Weasel and The Kneazle after all this time then what's a year between updates ;)

I should really stop reading these at work - I keep tearing up - although I have an excuse... if anyone spots it and asks I'll say I think I have a sneeze on it's way ;)
Thanks for another simply lovely story - I love the idea of Ginny working for the department of Mysteries... Very nice touch.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And you may need to come up with some more excuses just in case. There are lots of stories on this site that will bring tears to your eyes!

Along Came A Wizard by fallenwitch    (Reviews - 642)

A bet, a wanted witch, and a magical contract land Draco in a most unexpected situation. Can his Slytherin soul survive intact or will he succumb to one redheaded witch in bondage? Snarky humor, romance, and a pinch of angst. “I don’t want it. I didn’t order it. Now leave me the fuck alone.” He slammed the door closed. Only it didn’t close due to the enormous boot wedged into its threshold. One loud grunt later and it flung back open, almost hitting him in the face. Draco reflexively leaned back, and that’s when she was thrust into his unsuspecting arms.

Reviewer: catnipH Signed
Date: Sep 10, 2008 Title: Chapter 18: A True Pureblooded Witch

Can I swear in a review?? If so big fat fucking arseholes ;)
I thought it was complete, I got to the end and was heartbroken and then checked again and noticed it's not finished!
So in a way that's good... no swearing needed there (I trust you're going to have a happy ending... please?) but now I don't know what to do with myself - another brilliant story that's not been updated for a long time. Sigh.
I won't bully and push for another chapter but I wanted some swearing time to make me feel better lol!

Keep up the good work! Oh - and "a pinch of angst" pinch my very generous arse (thought I'd carry on with the bum theme you had going there for a while) :)

Date: Jun 05, 2008 Title: Chapter 6: VI. Clarification

Hello - absolutely loving the story so far... and enjoying the wine lessons too - I adore wine but am not half as well educated as you!

Possibly someone's told you already - and if so sorry for repeating. But, we do have thunderbird in the UK; we used to anyway - my sister used to drink it when she was young but I'm 9 years younger than her and have yet to see a bottle for sale.

Also (as far as I'm aware from my social circle anyway!) we brits tend to say corked rather than corky...
Although I know both are acceptable - I just wondered if Draco may have said corked instead... (not that it bothers me much, I'm still enamored with the story. I just wanted to share the info. Now I've said corked and corky too much so they both look wrong!)

Anyway - I'm going to continue reading now!

Author's Response: Thanks for the information! Nobody has told me either of those things, so it's nice to know. If I had known of the British propensity for "corked" over "corky", I would definitely written it that way. And it's nice to know that we Americans aren't the only ones to sell cheap wine! Anyway, thanks again, and I hope you continue to enjoy the story!

Well now that I'm finished I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the whole read. It was an intelligent story; well written with a good plot line and I liked how Draco grew and lost some of his prejudices throughout.

I was particularly impressed with Pansy's morals at not sleeping with attached men and I liked the fact that she didn't get all clingy over Draco like in a lot of stories.
I also loved the fact that we didn't find out until the end that Ginny was using Oliver to make Draco jealous - I thought that you kept that nugget of information well hidden from us readers and it worked well.

I have to say that my poor sister suffered when she was pregnant with her babe recently - at the time we were going to quite a few nice restaurants and she always looked longingly at the lovely wines.

I'm off now to find out if you have any more stories I can read. I'm hoping so...
:)

Author's Response: Thank you very much! I've written quite a few stories, so I hope you can find something else that you like. Thanks for the reviews!

Fabulous story - I read it ages ago but it wasn't finished then - not even to the point where a polyjuiced Draco had gone back to the burrow (I think he'd just found out about Pierce in fact.)

Absolutely brilliant though, so glad I read it again. You are a fabulous writer and if you do get an original novel written I'd definitely buy it (as long as it wasn't too angsty - I hate crying but I'm a complete softy lol!)

Ho hum, not sure what I'm going to do now... Some work maybe???

I really liked this story but I'm a little sad that Draco wasn't a bit more willing to be with her at the end.
He basically suggested that he wanted to be just like his father & friends were when he was growing up - keep Ginny but see other girls too.

However other that that it was a brilliant story, well written and intruiging and I'm glad he came to his senses in the end. I'd like to think he will be a bit nicer about it all and not so curious about seeing other women!!!
