Red by goddess_of_ether    (Reviews - 128)

When Ginny Weasley made her fashion empire, she and Draco Malfoy broke up under less-than-favorable conditions (a flying cup of hot tea was involved). Now, he's worming his way back into her life and her business, and he's determined to win her heart. Ginny, however, is not risking it again after he broke it once before . . . But when Narcissa Malfoy gets personally involved and decides that a close working relationship for a charity benefit is the best way to get them back together, sparks fly, not all of them potentially lethal.

Oh, that dress sounds gorgeous. Thank you so much fot the quick update.
Oh, poor Draco. Ginny is going to torture him, isn't she?

Author's Response: Glad you like it. And yes, she is. Probably slowly and painfully. No doubt Bringley is going to be involved.

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 put it up! Thank you! I adore this fic, I have read it (several times) on FF, it is a great addition to the site. I might have to read it once again!

Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much! If you read it again, I promise I\'m doing my best to polish up the story like a shiny red apple, because it\'s one of my all time favourites! ^_^

Just one bit of advice...
As much as I liked your fic on FF.net, keep in mind that this takes place in 1997(?), so music, clothes etc. should say in that time period. I remember when I read this before that there were a few discrepancies in that aspect of the fic, but then again, it is a fluffy, humourous fic. Keep it in mind, but I doubt you will have to change anything.

Author's Response: You read on FF? With all the formatting errors? Thanks! ^_^ Although I still believe the deathday cake was an error on Jo\'s part, :D, I edited a lot when FF went \'no lyrics\', and plan to edit further, glad that songs like Mariah Carey\'s \'All I Want for Christmas is You\' were off \'90\'s albums.

Bwah haha. I loved this chapter the first time, and loved it even more the... whatever this time was! Thanks for the regular updates... they are tres amusing, and it is nice to re read an old favorite without having to read the entire thing in one go (like I did the first time!)
Cheers!
Natasha

Author's Response: Fifty chapters in one go! You rock! Some people may never go back and edit a story, but I think if you love it, it\'s worth it, and I hope you think the story shinier this time around because it\'s polished! :D

Gothic guys are nice, aren't they? Great new chapter, thanks for the update! Merry Christmas.

Harry Potter and His Rather Large Ego by nun outfits are cool    (Reviews - 98)

It is three years after the war has ended; five years after Dumbledore's death. Harry is invited to a wedding where he sees all the people he has been studiously ignoring for all this time.


Just some D/G Harry bashing(ish)

Author's Response: It is a wonder that they can put their pants on by themselves in the morning. :) Thanks for the review.

Wonderful new chapter, I love how the relationship is developing. The Victoria's Secret Catalog scene made me laugh so hard... I feel their pain. Sometimes I have no idea what the point of some of that stuff is. Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: Thank you. I\'m glad other people think the VS stuff is ridiculous too. If you are a normal person, a little coverage is a good thing.

Nice one!

Author's Response: Thank you. I think we\'ve all been so infatuated at one time or another. It helps if they have good taste in cologne.

Oh, I hope she does trick him. The buffet thing showed his opinion, but... it will all work out for the best, right? Right?

“Not a problem. Any excuse to throw things at Draco’s head is always entertaining.”
I swear I said the exact same thing about a male friend of mine the other day! Only he is not Draco...
Good chapter, and congratulations on the award!

Author's Response: Thank you, and thank you again. I\'m thrilled that people like this story so much. I think it is my favorite. Plus, all men deserve to have something thrown at their heads ocassionaly.

Hmm... as much as I like it, I don't know how a sequel would be. I think it could be fabulous, but unless you have specific idea's, I wouldn't write a sequel just for the sake of writing a sequel.

A wonderful end to a wonderful fic.

Author's Response: Thank you. I'm pondering continuing until she gets him to tell her that he loves her. We'll see what the plot bunnies bring.

Guilty Kisses by alexandriaisariel    (Reviews - 19)

Excerpt: It was always like that. Always. Passersby would wonder if this relationship was somehow abusive in some way. Always painful, always passionate. They poured it into each other, sucked it from each other as if it was the thing that sustained life.

Fabulous, absolutely fabulous. You owe me a keyboard! *stupid tea...*
I had a suggestion, but typically forgot... I shall try to think of a few more.

Something About Us by alexandriaisariel    (Reviews - 36)

It was a few days before everything went downhill. Dumbledore was still very alive, Snape was still snootily discriminating, Harry was still drooling over Ginny and she had aquired an admirer.

This is wonderful. I loved the way you portrayed Ginny, and the notes were a great way of showing the romance you needed, while not suffocation the fic. Will there ever be anything else to do with this? Just wondering.
Great job!

Author's Response: Thank you :) I\'m actually thinking about writing a sequel, as the plot bunnies are running quite rampantly right now. I haven\'t quite decided you, although I\'ll let everyone know what I do decide :) Thanks so much for reading!!

Very nice, I love the way you portray Ginny; I have had many conversations with my self the same way! You have captured the teenage girl psyche very well, as I am sure you must have tons of experience! Good fic so far, and thank you for writing it for us to read!

Author's Response: Hi! Thanks a lot, I\'m glad to hear that you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it! As far as Gin\'s character goes....well, I guess you could say I\'ve been there and done that :D. Thanks once again, I really appreciate your comments!

Date: Nov 27, 2006 Title: Chapter 2: Nightmares, Lunacy and a Favour

I liked Draco's point of view in this fic. So many find it easier to write Ginny, and therefor we have mostly Ginny-centered fics, but this was a refreshing change. It was nice to have his thoughts on things, and to see that he is not the "perfect sex god" so many characterize him as, but has his doubts, and gets tongue tied aroung the girl he likes. A wonderful read, and I hope this continues as well as it has started!

Author's Response: I can\'t understand why what I write comes from Draco\'s point of view. But it does. Thanks for reviewing! You\'re a sweetheart!
