Writing is like water to me - I can't live without out it, I often crave it, yet I tend to overlook its merits. Fanfiction is a way for me to constantly challenge myself. For this reason the amount of my work tends to be sparce and the time between updates incorrigible. Please do not walk away for these reasons. These stories are never far from my mind.

I always had a taste for tragedy, horror, and complex plots. When I do stray from the more macabre work, it is often on a whim. So if you happen to detest darker pieces (and honestly, how did you get into Draco and Ginny if you despise them?), then I would suggest glancing at my favorites. I love reading humor, but writing it often takes a back seat.

Some themes I take on may not be acceptable to some people. Please be careful before reading my darker works if your morals, religious values, or beleifs will premit you from enjoying some concepts. If you are willing to give the stories a shot, then I hope you are not disappointed.

And I will stop there.

Draco and Ginny: The Ship that Defies All Logic by Sue Bridehead    (Reviews - 83)

I’ve been mulling this over since I read Mynuet's essay, which by the way, Shar, was very well done. Mine is taken from a different angle. Just a bit of rambling, really . .

You had some very interesting points in the essay. I throughly enjoyed it. Your character overview (or point about Ginny) caught me immediately. I can't imagine how many times people complain about how shy Ginny is even after they read the books. You could have picked up her spunk in the first book, but missing it in the last two just blows my mind.

I, too, didn't care much for the shipping of Hermione in the Draco Trilogy. While I dearly love that series, I can't stand Hermione's character in it. Ever since reading the trilogy I haven't been able to take Hermione fanfiction.

Anyway, great essay. :)

Your story is amazing. I like how you portray the thin line between good and evil, and show how the war has changed the characters. I also like that Draco is never really 'redeemed', but that he has a heart. This is one of the best Ginny/Draco stories I have read. Please continue.

This is excellent. You have written one of the best Quiditch scenes that I've read, and it just keeps getting better.

Chocolate Shags by Anise    (Reviews - 55)

The good news is that magical chocolate really does have romance-enhancing properties. The bad news is that at Hogwarts, well, everybody's been giving chocolate to everyone else at Hogwarts for years. Including the giant squid. What will happen when the consequences catch up with them all at last?

This story is really interesting. I especially like how you portrayed Ginny's reaction towards Harry. It really seems to capture her character from the books. However I am a bit surprised she was not more upset over finding out about Harry and Hermione's relationship. After all she must be close to Hermione if she confided relationship issues with her. Again, everything is extremely well written. I can't wait for your next update. :)

Interesting. I especially like how Ginny controlled Draco at the end. Then again, you must wonder if it was Draco controlling her the whole time. In the end he got a far more erotic portrait.

Author's Response: Hehe :) That\'s why they\'re the perfect couple. Just when you think one has control it\'s the other who has it in the end.

I loved the introspective Draco, and I found some of his thoughts rather refreshing. While it revolved around some often rehashed issues (Draco and his father, etc), it approached them in a very interesting manner. This would have been an excellent start for a longer story, but I suppose its even better this way. Excellent work.

Author's Response: thanks for understanding why I decided on a oneshot. Yes, I know I touched on issue that are often repeated, but I felt that it would be a good point in the story to mention it. Thanks!
