"Draco Malfoy is a widely acknowledged git." The discovery of an enigma.Category: Completed Short Stories
Cute! Good job for your first fic. I hope you keep writing other stories :) I really liked the way the ending was set up like the beginning of the story, it tied it all together rather well.
Author's Response: Thanks! Not actually my first fic, just my first HP one, but still... :) Ooh, I'm glad you liked the ending. I WAS trying to tie it all together, so I'm glad that succeeded. :)
Draco is proud and prejudiced, but he might not be the only one.Category: Works in Progress
Definitely the part about her not being pretty enough to tempt him... that's from Austen, if I remember correctly.
Author's Response: You do remember correctly. I just went back and watched the scene in the BBC version and DESPAIRED because what I wrote didn't even come close to Darcy's insult. Then again, I don't have Colin Firth to work with, do I?
It's been a while since I read the book, but this may have me going back to it. Great start. Stubborn Ginny... I'm looking forward to the party and Ginny and Draco meeting.
Author's Response: It's always great to go back and read Austen again. Except if you're gonna go and compare me to her, because there's no comparison. :) Thanks for your review.
Oh Luna, such a sweetie. Lime green shoes... lol. She would.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked that. I need her to still be the Luna we've all come to love. In terms of the Pride & Prejudice storyline, she's perfect for the part of Jane.
The BBC one was definitely infinitely better than the one with Kiera Knightly... perhaps because I've got a not so secret crush on Colin Firth. He always seems to show up in productions that I absolutely love. I really like the Bollywood version too, Bride and Prejudice. Hilarious.
Pans was a bit weird in that last bit... randomly being buddy buddy with Ginny and then just as randomly switching back to not-so-lovable Pans. I thought Ginny was funny and at the same time just as irrational as she was in the book. Draco's comment about it not being healthy for women to walk in the rain was priceless! And I recognised the bit about when people lose his good opinion it's lost forever. I think you've done a good job so far.
Author's Response: The "drenched women" comment was, of course, my substitution for Darcy's comment about Elizabeth and Miss Bingley's figures when they're walking... He puts it in such pretty language but it really is a scandalous thing for a gentleman to say!
Bride and Prejudice, btw, is AWESOME. I didn't like it at first because of the obviously lower budget quality but it grew on me. I almost know it by heart by now. My sisters and I do the, "No life without wife" number sometimes because it's just so much fun!
I completely forgot... I was going to give you a hilarious quote from Colin Firth about P&P...
"As far as we know, Jane Austen might have seen Darcy as a blond. But then, you can't really smolder with blond hair; you'd probably just look petulant." -Colin Firth
Author's Response: Ooooooooooh, the Colin Firth Darcy... To me, he IS Darcy. The first time (of MANY times) that I watched the movie I was like, "Dude! Darcy's supposed to be WAY hotter!" but after a while, it just stopped mattering because he truly WAS Will Darcy.
I loved the way he completely surprised Pansy when he started talking about Ginny. Oh Pans... she never learns. I do hope he follows up on that "what if she wasn't a Weasley" bit at the end, it sounds promising.
Author's Response: He'll follow up... But when? Ay, there's the rub.

Haha, smearing himself with lemon filling. That would definitely make tea far more interesting than usual.
I love the bantering, it looks like this story is going to be a lot of fun.
It had started with those eyes. Whenever Ginny looked back on the past few months, she always came to this same conclusion. How something so innocent had ended up so horribly wrong she couldn’t say, but she knew, she just knew, that it had started with those damned soulful eyes.Category: Works in Progress
haha, great!
Author's Response: Thanks! :)
I love it! Especially the last paragraph. That part was really funny :)
Author's Response: Thank you! :)
Ginny has lost her shoe, and thus begins her bad day. Who could have possibly taken it from her?Category: Completed Short Stories
Lol. Such a klepto, Draco. Very cute story!
Author's Response: He is. ;) Thank you so much!
Ginny could hardly believe it. Draco Malfoy, that supercilious prat of a boy, had done something she wasn't sure she would have been capable of herself. Written for the D/G Fic Exchange 2008Category: Completed Short Stories
LOL. I loved it! especially the end where he just sits there and digs a hole and then finally gets around to actually saying what he wanted to, right at the end.
Author's Response: *laughs* He's just not use to being smitten is all.
Draco and Ginny discover that the truth is a funny creature, especially when you can’t lie successfully.Category: Long and Completed
Awww, so cutely ignorant of where they are going to end up. I'm sure Blaise knows where this is going though.
Author's Response: Thanks! Blaise has a plan *g*
Category: Completed Short StoriesGinny experiments on her hair with very Cinderella-esque consequences.
Written for dgficexchange for the D/G Fic Exchange 2008.
Cute. I had no idea that he knew who she was the entire time. Nice twist. It makes sense too, Ron would make a fuss over her hair to the whole world.
When the Wizengamot ordered Ginny Weasley to search Malfoy Manor, the last thing she imagined she would encounter was a Portkey; A Portkey that would leave her stranded on an island with Draco Malfoy.Category: Long and Completed
A job from Narcissa? Oooo interesting.
Author's Response: Yes. We'll find out what that job is in the sequel. :D Wait for it this summer! Thank you for reading, hope to see you back!
Trying to escape the pain of her daughter's death, Ginny runs to Pennsylvania to start anew. Almost six years later, a man from her past walks back into her life, reopening old wounds and setting in motion a journey of discovery, sorrow, and joy.Category: Long and Completed
I absolutely LOVE Pansy/Ron stories. He always ends up so cutely confused :D
Oooo devious Serena. I'm really really liking the sideplot with Pans.
Ohhhh chocolate eclairs. This story always makes me hungry for the most inappropriate things. Clearly I need to go find a bakery.
Anyway... I love how things are coming along and I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: I'm on a diet as like half these readers know because I mention it in my review replies all the time. Anyways, I'm not allowed to eat half the things I write about. It's awful. Last night I ate a chocolate croissant...it was fantastic. Hmm, a chapter title maybe?
Smut taking control of the chapter isn't always a bad thing :P I quite liked it.
Awwww at Draco's tatt, so very cute.
Author's Response: There is more to that tattoo than meets the eye...I'll leave you with that thought. Insert evil laugh here.
Ron has the best timing... Ever. I love it.
sidenote: you have a lj? oh awesome! What's your name on it?
Author's Response: He does, doesn't he? My lj is x0xmemoriesfade...a zero in between the x's. The link is on my profile page.
Oh no. :( Stupid Draco. I can't say I didn't see it coming but Stupid Draco nevertheless.
*sigh*
I see an angsty few chapters ahead of us.
Author's Response: Hehe, well you're probably right. Thanks for reviewing.
LOL! Oh I love Pansy and Narcissa when they get together to wreak havoc on the Malfoy men. It's hilarious. Though Ginny probably could have managed on her own... just a bit slower. The push they gave her just made it happen sooner.
Author's Response: You're right. Ginny needed that push. We'll see what happens in the next chapter with her. Thanks for the review!
I'm holding on the belief that you won't do anything too terrible to them before Draco finds them and that eventually Warrington will get his comeuppance.
right?
Author's Response: Er, right? (Thanks for the review)
Yay!
I can't believe the story is nearly over though. It's been a lovely adventure :D
Author's Response: A lovely and long adventure indeed. Thanks for the review!
