I agree wholeheartedly with what you've said here. The only thing that truly caught my attention was the cutting/suicidal remarks. I do feel that, while someone shouldn't write a fic about a suicidal ginny just because they want it as a plot point, sometimes it's used to express what they really feel when they have no other outlet. That was my case. I was suicidal a couple of years back, and I was at the time starting writing HP fics, so I added that into Ginny's character in the beginning. I'll still bring things from that back, but it's not the major focus because events are changing things, bigger events are happening. Being suicidal doesn't mean that you're never happy. Being suicidal can mean you bounce back and forth between moods, as I did, largely because of changing events in my life. Now, granted, I don't like fics that have a suicidal Ginny who suddenly becomes little miss sunshine within five seconds of a "saviour" and the fic is all about how wonderful her "saviour" is, however I do feel that there is some validity to happiness or feelings of contentment after a period of suicidal thoughts, because I know what I went through myself. I don't disagree with you entirely, I just thought it was important that you understood the other side to what goes on inside the head of someone who is or has been depressed.
