Waiting in anticipation for the next instalment. You guys make an amazing duo.
Author's Response: Ves says: Well, as long as it's not Antici- - - - - - -pation. :P
And we do work rather well together. *hugs Myn*
Myn says: Why, it's so awesome it doesn't even feel like work! Well, except for when Ves is having to drag my dead weight along and kick me until I write something. But that's still not work for ME, so the point stands.

I love the way you've introduced Ginny and Draco so far! It's interesting to see how different authors do this. Your situation is excellent! The situations are perfect, and everyone is very in character--Ginny, desperate to be helpful, and the Malfoys--perfectly collected.
Author's Response: Ves says: Thanks! If you have a good premise, it makes the rest so much easier!
Myn says: Yeah! Next time we'll totally have to get the premise
worked out before we start writing. That would rock.

What an interesting take on Narcissa. It's always refreashing to see her in an an assertive role rather than simply hovering behind Lucius's wand. The characters were all well written and you've taken an idea that I would never have thought to apply to fanfiction and written such a strong story in just one chapter. Poor bare-assed Ginny. Her pride may have been wounded but I'm sure she'll see some just compensation later at the hands of the Malfoy heir. Can't wait to read the rest.
Author's Response: Ves says: Stop it; I'm blushing! Originally the story started with the line about Narcissa flashing everyone - I don't think the story could have gone wrong from there.
Myn says: Nudity has a way of being a promising start, yeah.
Myn further says: And Narcissa has to be assertive, really. Can you see a wilting flower standing up to Lucius and telling him where to send their son to school? I think not. So, that's our story and we're sticking to it.

This is really marvelous---everybody is so IC, and you can't help but feel for Ginny.
I'll admit I never thought Molly would feel that way, but she does baby Ginny, so it's plausible.
All in all...hurry up with Chapter Two! I'm very excited to see what happens next.
Author's Response: Ves says: Keeping people IC is a wee obsession over here...
Myn says: As for hurrying, we'll try, but every time we attempt it we start to sneeze uncontrollably, so I think we have to work out some kind of allergy medication before being successful at it.
Ves says: Glad you are enjoying it and thanks for taking the time to review.

Oh how wonderful!! I'm sure the 10 other reviews have praised the story enough but this is great. So funny and let me tell you - is this was the first chapter of a book, I'd be standing in line at the cashier to buy it!!
Can't wait for more.

Oh my, this is some really fun stuff. This story already promises to be VERY entertaining! Yea! I shall wait for the continuation with bated breath.
Author's Response: Ves says: Hoorah for entertainment! Hoorah for fun!
Myn says: Er, do try to breathe, okay? We like our readers to be of the alive persuasion.
Ves says: Which is not to say we are, in any way, biased against vampire, zombie or spectral readers. Not as long as they review...
Myn says: Well, that and that they don't eat the other readers. We really frown on that here at FIA.
Ves says: Indeed. That would really discourage new members from joining. "New Members Dismembered Here!" Nope. It would never go over...
Myn says: So, um,,yeah. I think we need to stop this one here before we devolve into a Buffy/FIA crossover fic in review comments.
Ves says: Curses. Foiled again.

Oh my, poor Ginny, landing the dream job of almost every witch (I'm sure), and then ruining it at the most inopportune moment. But lucky for her, Draco smoothly handled it, being the Malfoy that he is. Great beginning, this story made me gasp and laugh at the same time, a interesting combination. Can't wait for the rest!
Author's Response: Ves says: For all of her talent and smarts, I can see Ginny being an occasional victim of Fate's cruel sense of humor. It was quite an unforgettable moment though...We had fun making every new indignity surpass the last. Rest assured that Ginny's life remains just as crazy from here on out.
Myn says: I think Ginny's actually talked about bringing a lawsuit for cruelty to fic stars, but she gets a happy ending with Draco, and might even get Hot Smut during sweeps, so I don't think she's got a case.
Ves says: The sheer number of fics where she and Draco engage in nothing but hot smut would get the case thrown out of court. No one can suffer while being hooked up with Draco that much...
Myn says: It's my contention that the Doppelganger fic alone will get the case thrown out. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Ah, so this is what you were working on! It's fabulous! Very interesting and promising concept and situation Ginny's found herself in, and I really can't wait to read on. Hero!SmoothandinControl!Draco! And then bastard!Draco, but really, I can overlook that. Great chapter!
Author's Response: Myn says: Well, Draco's just not Draco if he's not a bit of a bastard. Glad you like it!
Ves says: I have to admit that, on my side, this fic owes a debt to "The Devil Wears Prada". Still, we have had great fun playing with how a beauty company would work in the wizarding world. Glad you are enjoying it! As for Draco, he's good at being many things at once - it's part of his charm.

when do we get more?
Author's Response: Ves says: When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars...oh wait. Errr...when the editing is done?
Myn says: When Ves finally gets tired of my laziness and threatens me with death, dismemberment and/or the cutting off of fun and snarky conversations unless I get my butt in gear and do some editing or writing... Or when she gives up on me in despair and does it herself. One or the other.
Ves says: Is that all we were waiting for? *breaks out red pen of editing*
Myn says: Don't forget, we need to space the written stuff out a bit so we stay ahead of the curve. Some of these readers are real quick to whip out the torches and pitchforks.
Ves says: I think an update every two weeks or so is realistic. It takes time to bounce these back and forth. Plus, we are still writing on later chapters. Just in case...*breaks out flame-retardant tiara*

Brilliant! I missed this on lj *kicks self* I can't wait to read more and for the little game of cat & mouse to develop *g*
Author's Response: Myn says: Well, it had a very low profile on LJ - it only existed buried in comments. This is because we are difficult, but what do you expect from an empress and an HBIC?
Ves says: Well, you have probably saved yourself a lot of re-reading. Some things have been changed but a lot are the same. I can't wait to write more of the "cat & mouse".

Hey, finally made it over here, I figured I'd have to read you sometime... .
Interesting.
Why do the Weasleys run the burrow like an 19th century novel?
The rest was pretty funny, but do we find out later that Draco charmed the dress lining?
Author's Response: Myn says: Yep! And someday you may even have to check out what I can do on my own. For now, though, suffice it to say that there's lots of old fashioned people in the world, and in my opinion Molly Weasley is definitely one of them.
Ves says: Draco charming the dress lining...Wow. That's good. Too bad we didn't go there. Or did we? *evil know-it-all smirk*

I literally danced around in a circle when I saw that this had been posted. I absolutely loved this when it was just on LJ, and I look forward to reading it here. I was just wondering the other day when it would be posted. Yay! I like the fact that you added a little intro part to explain things a bit more. Can't wait for the next one!
Author's Response: Ves says: Neat! We made someone dance!
Myn says: Dance, fangirl, dance! Ohwait, I owe you fic. Erm. Many humble thanks. *^^*
Ves says: *snicker* The version posted here will have all kinds of exciting things the LJ Tag didn't - like continuity and less of Myn and I chatting in the middle of the thread. We hope...*grin*.
Myn says: It might even have a plot, if we follow the outline we wrote, like we're some kind of organized team or something.

Ha, I love the first chap! You guys make hating Narcissa so much easier, and fun!
Author's Response: Myn says: Well, I actually like Narcissa, ice queen persona and all, but if you dislike the grand dame personality, you're going to love to hate her all through the picture, er, fic.
Ves says: Thanks - I only hope you will still like this fic after chapter 2. Narcissa is...multi-dimensional in this fic. I can't see hating her past the first few chapters. Sure, she thinks she's entitled and that everything revolves around her...but it sort of does. *shrugs* See what you think. I am interested to hear your take.
