well this has been really fun. it's been a long time since i've read fanfic, but being on bedrest will change that! so, i think it's fun so far. i was a little unclear on the shot of ginny with her bum showing. for some reason i just couldn't picture it in my head, but i did get the idea of it. i'll be looking forward to more updates whenever they arrive!

Author's Response: Ves says: Oh dear. We went round and round with our descriptions of those shots because they seemed rather confusing. Pooh.rn

rnMyn says: I should put this in our next chapter, but what I was thinking with that one was a pose like Betty Grable's famous swimsuit shot. (If you google Betty Grable, it'll show up first thing on the images.)rn

Dangit! I was so hoping there was more of this! I started today and absolutely love it.
Ginny's emergence into 'supermodeldome' was unexpected but readily accepted. I am enjoying how a DG relationship isn't immediately thrown into this such as "Oh, I didn't realize how handsome he is until he started being nice, etc" which gets annoying. Fast
And draco being nice can easily be pointed to their new positions together.
I loved the scene with the hogwart's kid.
everything is wonderful and I want to say "update" but I'd rather you guys take your time because whatever your doing has been perfect.

Author's Response: Ves says: Amen to that! I love fluff and smut as much as the next girl but I’d like to think it would take more than one or two moments of politeness and a pretty face to turn Ginny’s head. And Draco has been nothing but professional – so far. Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement!rn

rnMyn says: Yeah, while occasionally love at first politeness can be okay, you have to wonder at the long-term prospects of an enduring and mature relationship from such an instant infatuation.rn

I've really enjoyed reading this. I went though a spell of getting drawn in and losing interest half way through a lot of fics- haha, I was starting to think the well had run dry and I'd read all the things that needed to be read, but I just wanted to tell you that I think it's great- humorous, appealing, and well-written:)

Author's Response: Ves says: High praise indeed! Thanks so much!rn

rnMyn says: You have to pan a lot of river to find the gold dust - glad to know we're among the gold.rn

This is a very well made piece. I've read some corporate D/G fiction, but this, I have to say, is the most believable. Honestly, This somehow reminds me of "Ugly Betty", why? Well I have no idea. Anyway, do keep up the good work. Your writing style is definitely enjoyable. Updates are very very appreciated. :-)

Author's Response: Ves says: Well I can assure you this was in progress long before Ugly Betty. I don’t watch that one myself – but I’ve heard wonderful things and I will take that as a compliment. Thanks so much!rn

rnMyn says: I think it's the setting, and Draco's a teensy bit like Daniel, although not quite as big a manwhore.rn

Oh my god!...I've been trying to finish reading this fic since last year...and it'll probably take a few more years to actually finish reading it!...I love it...I love the way you are showing Draco's charecter transformation. I love everything about it! Keep writing...I hope you finish it in a few decades!

Author's Response: Ves says: *laughs* Well, I think we’ve been trying to write it for at least that long so we’re even. Draco, I’d like to think, has had some time to grow up and decide what sort of name he’d like to make for himself. Being young, handsome and rich – he certainly has a way with les femmes but I was dying to see him in a job that he enjoyed and wanted to excel at. We don’t see him care about much of anything in the books, but I’ve always been fond of the fanon that has him wanting to excel and uphold the family name.rn

rnMyn says: If there was nothing more to him than just a rich boy happy to spend the rest of his life lounging around, with occasional pauses for sex and shopping, I wouldn't want to write about him. Okay, maybe for a short story or PWP, but still. There has to be some kind of motivating factor to get him out of bed in the morning.rn

I love the fact that Ginny is almost equal to Draco in terms of societal status and career status. That's really what makes this fic enjoyable for me. All around this is a fun fic, and I look forward to seeing more of it!

Thanks for the fun and tiramisu! :)

Author's Response: Ves and Myn say: It is a pleasant change to not see Ginny as some sort of street urchin he takes pity on. Our girl’s got game and he’d better stay on his toes!

I absolutly LOVE this story, and can't wait to read more :)

I don't normally leave reviews, but I read all 13 chapters a few days ago (at work no less :S Naughty me) and realized that ANY story that can keep my captivated for that long definitly deserves credit!

Author's Response: Ves says: I’m just glad to know I’m not the only one who slacks off at work because of this story! Thanks for taking the special time and effort to leave a review for this fic! Hope it continues to delight!rn

rnMyn says: *gasp!* You naughty girls!rn

Oh my goodness - this story is fantastic! Honestly, I can't wait for more! I think I love your Ginny. She's wonderful. And Draco - so sexy! Please keep this story up - it's just wonderful!

This is awfully good. I hope the irritating demands haven't got you giving up on it completely. I especially like how you manage to retain the complete tone shift and focus (from fantasy story-ish to Devil Wears Prada-ish) while remaining true to the fantasy elements.

 That made no sense. What I mean is you guys kept the spirit of the wizarding world while introducing a completely different substance - you didn't just make it AU, or ignore all the---

 It's just good. I look forward to reading more. Don't let that dirty  Harry22 get you down.



Author's Response: Ves says: It’s been an interesting blending of genres. And I can’t speak for Myn, but for me the understanding readers more than make up for the cranky ones!rn

rnMyn says: There's no getting us down for long, and I totally agree re: the awesome reviewers as opposed to the nasty ones.rn

Yes! Draco-Ginny interaction! Muahahha! . . . Sorry, haven't slept in a while, thus am inordinately amused by the occasional witty interlude. Please ignore my ramblings, and simply know that I loved the chapter - especially the comment about compliments no longer being backhanded - and am hoping (without pressure) that more will come eventually.

My goodness, this story is amazing. I read all thirteen chapters in a couple hours. I wish I could get down on my knees and beg for more, but if your life is anything as hectic and crazy as mine (like you had said) I know better than that. Please don't give up on this story, it's very amusing! Thanks so much! Kitty

I hope you guys get to update soon :). I know there are many avid readers waiting in antsy anticipation ;)!

Author's Response: Ves and Myn say: Antsy anticipation is a nice way of putting it. At this point, “Baying for our blood” might be more to the point. *wink* Thanks and glad you are enjoying!

This is a great story! I found this as a rec, and I'm glad I did. I love your characterizations and the plot is intriguing. The mystery of the theft makes it all the more interesting.

Author's Response: Ves and Myn say: Glad you are enjoying it and thanks to whoever made that rec! Always nice to see new readers!

Beautifully done, as always. I don't know how you two do it, but it always comes together seamlessly, so it seems like it's being written by one perfect, super-awesome writer (too many adjectives, I know, but you deserve them).

Author's Response: Ves says: I don't think we know how it comes together either! I can’t tell anymore on past chapters what bits were me and what bits were Myn.rn

rnMyn says: We couldn't even really look it up, I don't think. Eh, we'll just stay melded. Melded is good.rn

Bloody brilliant... Once again, waiting impatiently for the next chapter...


PS I sense a jealous Harry :) If he gets ahold of one of those adds, I can't see him acting platonicaly towards Gin. Anyways, love this story.
