I'm a recent college graduate that has been reading fanfiction since around 2001, I've come a long way haven't I? I was introduced to this wonderful ship with a little story written by, then fanfic author, Cassandra Claire which then caused me to obsessively search the web for every D/G story ever written lol. Since the opening of this site I religiously live here and troll FF.net when I can't get my fix. I'm not much of a writer but I can appreciate and admire some of the plots that have been developed and written here, as well as the authors who've created these stories and take the time out of their schedules to allow us an escape from reality. I'm always up for discussing stories, anything D/G, or just meeting new individuals who share this guilty pleasure of mine :)

He looked at the wall for a long time. “I can paint anything I want?” he asked finally.

She nodded. “Anything.”

“I want to paint you.”

Awwww that last line was just beautiful! I wish it would play out this way in real life for me :( lol. Great story. I enjoyed that you made Ginny use paint in order to cope with her grievances, most stories just make her a rebel. It was a very refreshing change. The character development was great. Overall I really enjoyed reading this story, great job :)

The Journey Home by gidge_8    (Reviews - 56)

Ginny skips out on her last year at Hogwarts to go in search of answers in a troubled post-Voldemort world. What she finds along the way is a mad-eyed mentor, a mystery around the murder of Lucius Malfoy, and an adventure that teaches her far more than she thought possible.

Written for tudorrose1533 in the 2011 DG Fic Exchange. Nominated in six categories, winner: Best Minor character.

Note: this story will have one additional scene that was not part of the fic exchange posting. It will be NC-17.

I really loved reading this story. I felt the characters were written in a way that was both original and refreshing. The whole idea about Moody having his own department was both genuis and truly unique. I'm looking forward to the sequel ;)

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!! This story was a stretch for me, based on the prompt I was given, and it's wonderful to know that the emotion came through. Moody is totally one of my favorite characters in the original series.
Best wishes!

A Day in Court by MemoriesFade    (Reviews - 15)

No one ever knew what they would get when Draco Malfoy and Ginevra Weasley were in court, pitted against one another. But when one witness breeds jealousy between the two opposing attorneys, the shirts come off and skirts drop. A courtroom drama featuring shenanigans and a case of impotence.

This was a great read! I enjoyed the court banter, I'd watch more trials if this were the case in reality lol. The smut was great and tasteful ;) I really enjoyed how it was all tied in at the end to make for a nice ending. Great fic!

Author's Response: Lol. You're right. If cases were like this all the time, I would watch them more often too. Thanks for the review!

Switched by BelleAmour    (Reviews - 21)

New Auror pairs must complete a most difficult task to prove that they know every detail about the other. Harry and Draco have been training partners for eight months now. They don't seem worried, however the two have obviously kept secrets, mostly pertaining to Ginny Weasley.

Poor Harry I feel just awful for him, even though he shouldn't have acted like a coward. It also made me feel awful for Draco, what a terrible position to be put in. I really liked the conversation Ron had with Draco, I think it was interesting, unique and very well written. Most authors make Ron become opposed to the relationship immediately, so I really liked that you wrote Ron in a way that respected Ginny's decision enough to not intervene. I also appreciated how Ginny and Harry's relationship was explained, in my opinion thats why they dont work out either (the epilogue of Deathly Hallows was optional for me lol). Overall i'm really enjoying this story and have nothing but praise for it. Great job! :)

oh, btw I was initially thinking that Harry wasn't interested in Ginny anymore bcuz he was interested in someone else, guess who I had assumed he was interested in? Pansy! Lol i'm kind of happy to see she was in this chapter. Although I dont expect any of my theories to come true, it was cool lol.

I'm intrigued. Poor Harry, I mean its horrible he called Ginny fat, but to have to experience how differently Draco is treated. It must be a horrible feeling. Definitely sticking around to see how it all turns out :)

Author's Response: I'm glad you like it! Oh, Harry... he's so lost. Thank you so much for the review!

Pretty good stuff. I just feel bad Ginny's bubble has been burst before Astoria's. I was wondering how the children situation would work out with their switch and all. I mean I knew that the wives would have to deal with falling for the other's husbands, but what will happen to the kids? I'm assuming the wives will want to be with their respective children, but it wouldn't be fair to take them away from their fathers, it's an intriguing plot you have here :) I also like the way you've written Scorpius, it's definitely refreshing I can see both his parents personalities reflected on him. I loved the Yoko reference, I think it fits even tho it's considered muggle music :D

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! I'm glad you like Scorpius and the Yoko reference, but I'm not going to comment on the rest because I don't want to give anything away. Don't worry; you will receive answers, all in due time. :)

I liked Draco's reaction more than Harry's, it was more realistic. Curious to see how the children will take it. Good chapter :)

Author's Response: There is more to Harry's reaction to come. Hopefully it will make more sense! Unfortunately, there will not be much on the children until the final chapter/epilogue, but rest assured that they have not been forgotten! Thanks for the review :)

The One You Never Knew by SunnyStorms    (Reviews - 60)

But driven by anger and pride, she makes a fateful decision that will upend her entire life.

I think the pace that you're going at is just fine. You're keeping the audience at the edge of our seats which is a good thing. I don't really like a predictable story, and I really like that their initial disposition has developed but is still the main focus of this story. I think the plot has been developing nicely and I love the banter between the two, very believable :) keep up the good work and I'll be around for the next chapter :)

Author's Response: Thank you for reading and commenting! I hope to keep your interest going forward.

I assume the aurors would recognize Ginny immediately, so I am anxious to read about Draco's reaction to it all. I hope we don't have to wait too long to see what happens next.

Author's Response: And here I am typing this more than a month later. x.x So sorry for the wait, alas life just can't be predicted, but the next chapter is assuredly coming.

Use Me by recension    (Reviews - 46)

Ginny's been having urges, but she can't ask anyone who loves her to give her what she really craves. When you need someone to use you, you should ask someone who doesn't care about you.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN QUOTE:

I sighed and went to the door, removing the deadbolt that I had put in, and opened it without even looking.

I gasped when I saw who it was.

I think your story is off to a great start. Maybe its just me but I'm concerned with Ginny focusing only on capturing Draco. If she's a bounty hunter shouldn't she be trying to catch the lesser criminals in the mean time while she gets her game plan to capture draco ready? Other than that I liked the way Draco was introduced and threw her off her game, I think it showed that she may have gone about this situation the wrong way. update soon I'd love to keep reading to see how this turns out :)

Author's Response: Oh, definitely be concerned about Ginny - I mean for her to have no idea what she is doing - but remember that she has got a whole file of Seamus's cases to work on, so that will come later. I uploaded chapter four, so hopefully it will be posted soon! :)

Best story I have read in a while! And I really do mean that! You have all the elements of a great mystery fic, and we still don't know exactly what is going on. Please update soon. Although I am hoping that the naughty rating in this story makes an appearance soon lol.

Author's Response: Done and Done! :D But thank you thank you thank you, for your kind words and your review. Everything becomes aparent soon but not too soon, kinda in that slow, burning, you-want-to-rip-your-hair-out kinda way :p
