Ginny Weasley and the Online D8 by twiddlekinks    (Reviews - 164)

The wizard dating scene is utterly boring. Tired of the same old stuff, Ginny Weasley turns to the Internet, specifically online dating services. Whom does she find?

Aw, it's too bad that you haven't updated in such a long time! Maybe the whole rpg thing got a bit much. You probably got your PhD and everything by now. LOL.

I think you should finish this fic! :D

Your writing is good, and I like the fact that you've taken care to build the plot before jumping in with the D/G. Your descriptions are excellent. You really get the sense that Draco is miserable about his situation, but unable to change it. I liked your description of Ginny. Nicely done.

Author's Response: Thanks! I actually have a beta that helps me with my story only because sometimes I tend to drag things out...it's nice to read a review from someone who doesn't seem to mind waiting...it's a long story, I've only started up again in posting it on this site. :)

The Clock by jandjsalmon    (Reviews - 38)

That was nicely done! I like the unusual approach of the fic, the premise of the clock and its magic. It was a very sad fic, but it had a very happy ending. ^_^ Nicely done, you're a good writer.

Author's Response: Well, thank you very much. It's always lovely to get a review like this. You're a peach for reading. :D

Redeeming Grace by squaredancer    (Reviews - 36)

I dreaded the next time she’d find me in a deserted corridor, and in a strange way I also looked forward to it. I hated the constant bogged-down feeling of being stalked, and yet there was a tiny fluttering of pride presiding somewhere within my stomach walls. The idea that Weasley’s little dolt of a sister was so enamored by me that she needed to see me nigh on every day would bring a smirk to my face in the strangest of instances.

Author's Response: Thanks for the comment. I love this song and everytime I heard it on the radio I knew I had to write this story. :)

This was a very interesting premise, and it was well written, but the ending doesn't feel like an ending at all! You shouldn't have stopped. I don't see why this should be a one-shot! Bah!

Anyway, ranting moment over. I did like this fic, and I have to say, I was perplexed by the thought of Crabbe reading a newspaper over breakfast. LOL. ^_^ Nicely done.

Oh wow.

That was terribly wonderful. I had this expression O_O while reading through most of it, and cringed several times. Also, my hands were balled into fists, and I didn't realize it until I moved to type this review. Seriously, your descriptions are so good, it's painful to read. It was kind of like a punch in the stomach.

That was incredibly harrowing, your descriptions of Draco just broke my heart. There was a moment when I was just dumb with shock and disbelief when I thought Harry and Ron would just leave Draco behind. I was sure they had, and had resolved to tell myself that you were crazy, and that in the "real" version of this fic, they took him with them. LOL.(Who's the crazy one, then?)

But of course they wouldn't leave him! ^_^ The ending was perfect. All in all, a beautiful fic. Nicely done.

Smiling Like A Doll by Angelsea585    (Reviews - 16)

She would not look at him. She would not talk to him. And she would certainly never speak to him again. Being a slightly temperamental red head, Ginny Weasely had no problems playing with fire, and instead had been burned by dry ice.

Tash! Finally, my long overdue review of this absolutely lovely piece. I read this a long time ago, like I told you, during a time in my life in which I was completely disconnected from D/G and had a sudden hunger for it. I wandered around the site until I came across this, and from the first few sentences I became totally hooked.

There is something very graceful about narrative in this story, and there are many instances of beautiful writing. This was a pleasure to read. I loved your characterization of Ginny and Draco and even Daphne. And I'm especially struck by how beautifully constructed Draco and Ginny's relationship has been. 

I think this is my favorite line in this story:

He was drawn to her like a moth to a flame...a Draco to a Ginny.

Someone should make that into a tshirt! 

The ending is of course, bittersweet, and I love that it's left open for the possibility of a future together, when all wounds heal. Or maybe not. 

Beautiful story, Tash. 



Author's Response: Ha - did you respond to this before you discovered you'd reviewed it on FFN? *snickers* I'd wear that t-shirt. Forum merchandise? ;)

Of Vodka and Green Fairies by Warriorlily    (Reviews - 13)

The eve of Harry Potter's wedding, Ginny Weasley is...drinking. Not only drinking, but drinking alone and miserably. Who better to interupt her misery than Draco Malfoy? Ginny's attempts to make him leave are futile- but things don't go exactly as she expected them to. Once vodka, Firewhiskey, and the Green Fairy are added, things don't go exactly as anyone expected them to.

You have a very smooth flow of writing. It almost reads itself, if it makes any sense.

I thought your Draco/Ginny interactions were spot on, your dialogue witty, and despite the detour into the necessary heavy background info, you managed to keep it all lighthearted and fun. Great job. ^_^
