Reckless Abandon by witty_fool    (Reviews - 9)

"Hello,” he said casually, as if speaking to a perfect stranger.  She supposed that was what they were, now.   

She said nothing.

“Those cigarettes will kill you, you know.”  Oh so now he was giving medical advice.

She held up the cigarette in a salute to the sky, as if to say “Here’s hoping,” but still no words escaped her chapped lips.

Hi, few comments:
can you please reply to my first question about the story? I find it interesting but i can't stand when DG are separated forever, otherwise i don't think i will read ... it is just too sad. I liked this chapter but very curious to find out why Draco doesn't feel guilty? Will we find out?

Author's Response: Honestly I'm not sure at this point if they will reunite, but we will find out his motives later on in the story.

please let then get back together! I don't care how much angst and other things happen to them but i just hate to see Ginny completly destroyed by Draco and anybody else. Did her brother gone blind? Can he not see that she is sick?

It is good, may be they both can help each other and fill the need? It could be potentially destructive relationship, like it was to start with but given a chance they can turn things around. My thought on the matter, anyway :)

Author's Response: Thanks for your review. I'm glad to hear what your impression was. For now not even I know how it will turn out for them. Mayhaps I will get some more inspiration and write another sequel. ;)

Back for More by sugarnectar    (Reviews - 8)

Draco was studying some new business proposals when the bell rang. He looked at the clock on his desk. 1am. Now who would come calling at one in the morning?Throwing down his reading glasses, he got up and walked across the living room.

There could only be one person…

With a quickening of his heart, he opened the door. There she stood in a trench, the hood pulled over her head. It covered everything but the glitter of her amber eyes.

Ginevra.

Snaps and Snails and Draco Tales by Anise    (Reviews - 19)

Lost prequels! Companion fics! Indecipherable scraps! All D/G; all excavated and brought to you straight from the mysterious depths of Anise's mind. (Picks up shovel.) Here they are at last! :)

Also, here's the first pic released from The Real Ginny Project (tm.)

Chapter THREE quote of the day:

Ginny Weasley? Draco’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked back at her from the end of the aisle. Yes. She’d changed so much in the past two months that it was difficult, at first, to tell. Greatly for the better, his mind added. In February, she’d been pretty enough but gawky, clumsy, unfinished. Her huge brown eyes seemed to be growing much faster than the rest of her face; her bright red hair flew in all directions as if trying to escape; her long legs and slender arms bumped against every chair and desk and wall as if they’d appeared too suddenly for her to know how to control them.

But now.. but now she seemed to have grown into herself. Her light cotton robes, wet with perspiration, fit her like a glove. He paused where he was standing and watched her, the way he might stop for a moment to appraise a purebred filly in one of the Kentish fields about Malfoy Manor. She was scrambling up onto a step stool to reach a high shelf now. She lifted her robes to the side, revealing well-toned legs. Draco admired the turn of calves and thighs and slim waist and firm breasts quite dispassionately. Wonder if those Weasleys have any veela blood…none of the others seem to, maybe her mother had a bit on the side sixteen years back… Yet she wasn’t beautiful, not really. Her cheekbones were too wide, her chin too pointed, her eyes too big for her face. Her hands and feet were too large. She certainly didn’t have the frail, delicate quality he liked to see in girls.

She was moving like a frightened rabbit. Had she seen him? Was he scaring her that much? He couldn’t help smirking at the thought. Good. Yet he kept watching her.

I always liked how your Draco is never total evil. He is multilayered personality, but good were it is really matters.

Author's Response: Thanks! :) I think that in this fic, he was far from nice. But he was able to do the right thing when it came to Ginny, especially because it would have been so easy to do the worst.

Reviewer: Marinka Signed
Date: May 19, 2013 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2

I am not saying that he is good, because he is not. But at the same time, while he is bad, he is not evil. Does it make sense?
It sounds ok in my head but on the paper/screen it is not so clear:)))

Author's Response: I think that it does make sense. He's stuck in a situation that I think doesn't allow him to be a good person as such, but he's also trying to make the right choices... I think, anyway. :)

Reviewer: Marinka Signed
Date: Oct 14, 2013 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3

So lots of new terminology, will you expand on that? Like Reservarium charm? And Narcissus?

Author's Response: Oh, um...(looks around guiltily.) The idea was that Chapter One would be a sample of the Fic of Doom, which I had vowed to never ever publish. There wasn't really supposed to BE any more of this one. It was never finished, which was probably a good thing, because in the middle of it, they ended up near the Mall of America. (Don't ask!!)

a bit sad but at the same time i want to know more about the drabbles. Why was she trapped with Draco, did he not loved her anymore or was there something else?

Author's Response: I think the best part about drabbles is that the reader can take part in shaping the story! I do understand not understanding where the author was coming from and wanting more information, but I think that's what makes reviewing great because you can get that info straight from the author. Anyway, Trapped was really dark and normally I don't like to write that kind of story because I like happily ever afters. ;_; But when I wrote it, I kind of intended that Draco trapped Ginny into marrying him. They were never happy together, but to the outside world, he acts like the perfect gentleman, which is why Ginny's family gets along with him. I don't have a motivation for him doing that though. It's a very sad story, and I prefer to keep it short because I want to get back to writing and posting happier stories!

I can appriciate that, but i feels like a candy that you can't reach:)) love it still the same but curious as to what would be the full story, you know? I recon i have hyperactive imagination so when i read WIP or drabble, i immideatly come up with multitude of "what ifs".

Author's Response: Ha! That's a funny anology for it! But you're right. Ultimately, drabbles just tease the reader. You probably have more of a story for Trapped than I do, honestly! I wrote it just thinking, "What would it be like if Ginny hated Draco? If he was horrible to her and no one knew or believed her?" That's such a scary thought to me. So I wrote out what I thought that might be like until I couldn't take it anymore. Sometimes I even wonder about the backstories of the drabbles I write, but if I think about them too much, I might have to write a sequel! Haha. I'm glad you liked it even though it was dark. I'm also glad that it made you ask questions and wonder more about the story! And thank you for reading and reviewing!
