"....with a bravado she didn't feel." Hum hum..ajajja I'm loving this! Its awesome!
Author's Response: Ves and Myn say: Thrilled you are still having fun! Thanks for taking the time to drop us a line.
~WOW. A perfect chapter. I love it.~
Author's Response: Ves says: *laughs* We enjoyed it.
Myn says: Probably too much.
Just a bit of randomness: I love the verb "foofing."
Author's Response: Myn says: That was Ves's word, but I love it, too. Foof! Foof! Foof!
Ves says: Was that mine? *blushes* It's a nice verb. Implies the action and the silliness of it at the same time. :D
This was really good! I loved how you described what they did to her to get her ready. I don't know about you but I HATE getting my eyebrows done! Woot for you!
Author's Response: Myn says: Any process where hair is ripped from my body does indeed qualify for hate. But, I'm told, beauty is pain.
Ves says: Poor Ginny. We make her suffer so for the sake of art.
Myn says: Art... And our own cruel amusement.
Bwahahahah!! This was just brilliant! I do so love how Ginny gets into these situations and how her gumption gets her through. Though I can't want to see what Draco does to her through all of this!
Author's Response: Myn says: Not as much as he'd like to, at least for a good long while.
Ves says: Ah yes...but isn't there a joy in the antici.....pation?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeee now I'm positively ITCHING to read the next chapter. The pair of you are wenches. You know that right? Great stuff.
Author's Response: Ves says: You know...they make a cream for that. *smirk*
Myn says: Well, I was a wench, but there was a small incident, a trifling matter really, but they made me turn in my off-the-shoulder blouse and lace-up corset to wear on the outside. It was very sad.
Ves: *hands Myn a hankie*
Yippy! Another chapter and quite soon as well. How can I ( or the other readers) ask for a better New Year's gift? I liked this chapter. We see her struggle in making up her mind between her shyness and her career. Draco motivates her in more ways than even she is aware. She is aware of who he dates and whether his girlfriends "puts out" or not. She knows his activities and when to expect him. To me it appears that she is in denial of her strong attraction to Draco. But, in the end it is evident to the readers that she does make decisions based on Draco, to show him up and even to annoy him. IS Draco aware of this? Is he playing the kids game of irritating a girl to get her to notice him and show her that he likes her. mmmm...or is he also in denial? Either way I cannot wait to see how the photo shoot goes, see more of Draco and hear of how he feels about Ginny. I hope we get some serious sparing and action between these two. However, there is sweetness in the anticiapation. Either way, please update SOON and don't forget my violent tendencies!Love you guys!
Author's Response: Myn says: I think the sight of a review this long and thoughtful may've just induced orgasm.
Ves says: As one of the writers, I feel like I should say "Oh, Draco's motivations are explored in a five-page character study Myn and I did and it will all become clear to you readers in eleventy more chapters". But..it's not. I am not really sure Draco understands how this game between the two of them is progressing. I guess we will all have to find out together!
and now we have stubborn half naked Ginny and ogling Draco! yay! More please!
Author's Response: Ves says: Just you wait...*smiles*
Myn says: Well, we always had them. Except possibly for the naked part. I think it'd require surgical intervention for Draco not to ogle and Ginny not to be stubborn.
i hadnt read any of this story before....guys its AWESOME AND I CANT WAIT TO READ MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its really entertaining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I laughed quite a lot. ANd I love Ginny in this. Perfect perfect perfect.
Author's Response: Ves says:It is nice to see Ginny as smart and together - if in a bit too deep!
Myn says: We aim to please.
i really enjoy your story but i wish you'd up date more often!
Author's Response: Ves says: While we're wishing, I'd like a pony. Myn says:: More often than what? I've got a story or two that haven't updated in /years/, so comparatively, this is getting updated at lightning speed. Ves says: So...be careful what you wish for?
teeheehee.
pity she didn't throw the thong at draco's head!
Author's Response: Ves says: Drat! I knew we should have done one more edit. Myn says: Well, if she's ever whirling panties around again, we'll know what to do.
wow! I cant wait for more...it's getting more interesting. Awesome job girls!
Author's Response:Myn says: What, you mean Narcissa showing her ass to the world wasn't interesting? *pretends to pout*
Ves says: I think most of our readership would be more interested in seeing another character's derriere. I could be wrong though.
Myn says: Point. If we start losing readers, we'll have to strip Draco naked and have him walk amongst the fangirls.
This is excellent, hilarious. :) Just keep going on!
Author's Response:Ves says: Will do.
Myn says: Unless we get distracted.
Hilarious! Her priming specialists and their conversations were especially enjoyable, and that naughty man running his hands up Ginny's thighs...we all know that he was just coping a feel and nicely saved his ass by talking about hairy legs and such. hehe
My friends and I were actually talking about the stick thin models today, and apparently models only weigh 80% of what they should way to be healthy. It's quite deplorable. Curves are sexier, but these stick figures can pull off all types of clothes...
Back to the story, Draco certainly seems to have too much interest in Ginny Weasley's assets, and I don't think it has anything to do with humiliation as Ginny seems to think! Waiting for the next chapter! Showdown btwn Ginny and Pansy perhaps?
Author's Response:Ves says: I think, for Ginny, those conversations were much like being dumped in a tank with aliens.
Myn says: It's always been my opinion that a lot of the reason for the trend of stick-thin models is that so many of the designers are gay, they tend to think of the most boyish figures as being the ones that are most attractive. But, I could be bitter because the only parts of my body that doesn't curve are my fingers. Anyway, enough digression. Yes. Much interest in Ginny's assets.
Ves says: There was never a question of making it clear that Ginny is a healthy-sized girl. We would have had to smack ourselves if we wrote it any other way.
the pompom bit was inane, but Draco's lovely.
Author's Response:Ves says: Hey, Ginny was REALLY tired at that point. As was the writer...
Myn says: The point was to emphasize the surreality that the world takes on when you're stressed and sleep deprived, thus setting the mood and flowing into a clear and demonstrable rationale behind Ginny's impaired decision-making process as the night wears on.
Myn says: Plus, it made me giggle.
Ves says: And amusing ourselves is really what this fic is all about.
Oh fantastic - its sort of What Not To Wear meets America's Next Top Model. And so funny! We know Malfoy has a crush on her - he loves her!
Author's Response:Myn says: I've really got to watch those shows sometime. And of course he loves her! He just doesn't know it yet. But I'll fix that. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ves says: Watch out, Draco! And you totally need to watch those shows. But I have to say, we should get bonus points for not having Janice - she scares me.
Myn says: Narcissa might be scary, but she's also wicked cool, and so that's okay.
Ahh! Suspense! Please just tell me you two are already working on Chapter Five. Lie to me. Just say it!!
But really. I love this story. It's so nice to read a well-written, funny post-Howarts fic that doesn't drip with Voldemort dramadramadrama.
Author's Response:Ves says: Don't be ridiculous. Voldie in lingere? Oh, no....the plot bunnies just started massing.
Myn says: Er, okay. We're working on chapter five, and not on chapter eleven. ... Boy, we'd better pick up the pace, we're falling way behind!
Ves says: The editing takes some time. As does talking to you lovely people. But seriously - it is in progress. The show must go on. ALSO - HELLO? Save me from the "lace and the dark side" fic writing itself in my head!
Myn says: Why would I want to do that? I want to see whether you manage to work snakeskin into Voldie's wardrobe.
Ves says: *cries*
Myn says: Pink snakeskin. With rhinestone.
Ves says: *SOBS*
Do you know, I was just thinking about this story this morning? And then I logged onto to FIA and there it was! You two should read my mind more often (especially when I think about winning the lottery!) Seriously though, I loved this chapter. Narcissa is awesome, Ginny's temper is equal parts inspirational and scary and Draco's dead sexy, as usual. Can't wait for the next one :o)
Author's Response:Myn says: Okay, think about winning the lottery right now. And then give me half.
Ves says: Hey!
Myn says: Myn is too busy concentrating on the lottery to listen to Ves.
Ves says: *pouts*
YES! GREEN SATIN THONG! TAKE THAT MALFOY!!!!! (Great chapter!!!!)
Author's Response:Ves says: Satin thongs - Quickly replacing semi-automatics as the street weapon of choice. More at 11.
Myn says: Somehow, I don't think Draco will exactly be traumatized by taking that, though.
Ves says: I would think Draco is quite used to seeing ladies' underwear.
Myn says: Although usually under slightly less projectile circumstances.
GAH! Can't wait to read the next one! I like this fic, it's angle is really unique.
Author's Response:Myn says: Yeah, not a lot of people really appreciate the beauty of an acute angle.
Ves says: Shoot - you beat me to that joke.
eek!
its beautiful....might there be more coming along sooner?
annd...good job :D
Author's Response:Ves says: Sooner than when we post it? Nope. Doesn't seem likely.
Myn says: There might, but it's unlikely. See below re: cute Ukrainians.
Ves says: *giggle* Hand me a tambourine, chica!
Yay! Waiting for another one! I absolutly love this story. Please keep updating!
Author's Response:Ves says: Drat! There goes my plan to be kidnapped by Ukrainian gypsies and smuggle Spam into Nepal. I have to stick around and keep writing now.
Myn says: Are the Ukrainian gypsies cute? Because I could use a vacation.
Ves says: Cute in that dark, gold-hoop wearing kinda way. What say you?
Myn says: ... Tempting. I guess they'll find out which way we decided depending on when they see the next update.
The bustle of all of the stylists attacking Ginny is absolutely hilarious. Though what I am most interested in is the question of just why Draco decided to stay behind. Perhaps Ginny should think this over a little more carefully. It might help her keep out of compromising situations in the future. Of course then we would be without this lovely story. So maybe she should remain clueless after all.
Author's Response:Myn says: ... Boy, she answered herself, and so I've got nothing. Reviewers shouldn't be smarter than us. *pout*
Ves says: Yeah. What can we say to that? Besides - glad you are enjoying it.
I'm sorry there are no more chapters yet!! I am very excited to see how the pictures turn out--hopefully Ginny will be used, not Pansy--and when the romance is going to come in. Looking forward to reading more of your guys' writing!
Author's Response:Myn says: Well, the romance may take a while to get here, but I think it will be worth the wait.
Ves says: Why does everyone want the romance three chapters ago? Would it help if the prologue was "This is a D/G site. They are going to hook up. Wait for it..."?
Myn says: Maybe it would help if I reminded them of my fanatical devotion to the ship?'
Ves says: It's worth a try.
God! This is so much fun!!
Author's Response:Myn says: We certainly think so.
Ves says: But we find odd things terribly amusing. It's nice to know other people think this is fun.
