I've been looking forward to this update :) I love how you work in the chemistry between Draco and Ginny so subtly so that someone else (naturally not a D/G shipper) could point out no there's nothing between them, while we could argue YES THERE IS! EVEN THE REPORTER NOTICED! It keeps me on my toes :) Brilliant update - amusing and Ginny's situation is so real.
Author's Response: Ves says: Yes, yes. In our world, all reporters are just dying to see the slightest hint of D/G because they are all hardcore shippers.
Myn says: What you don't know is that the reporter has been writing D/G fanfic for ages. The opportunity to finally publish her 'why they are secretly together' article in the newspaper for reals is a lifelong dream come true. ;)

I'd love to say it's been worth the wait, but now with this chapter out, fabulous as it is, you've got me wanting more. alas, i don't think i'll be satisfied til it's over. and even then i might demand a sequel! :) Also, LOVE the ginny-librarian picture! You guys are great!
fashion+draco+ginny=so much greatness.
Author's Response: Ves says: I can see it now, Myn and I in our little rocking chairs, dictating Lush Life: The Return to our magic Dictaphones and giggling over the next twist.
Myn says: So... It wasn't worth the wait? *sniffle* My motivation for Lush Life: Son of the Return of the Sequel is totally dead now.

Oh, poor Ginny. That girl needs a good sleep. I hope she's not living at the Burrow anymore (can't remember if that was worked out in the first couple of chapters or not.) Otherwise, I don't think she's going to be getting any soon. I'm still inclined to smack Draco in his smug face, but very funny and cute.
Author's Response: Ves says: Wanting to smack Draco is a very normal reaction…he was being a bit of a brat here…
Myn says: No, she's living on her own. And yeah, Draco's face may as well have a big arrow pointing to it, with a sign that says, "In case of intolerable aggravation, slap here."

That's a beautiful picture that twinkly produced. You two are really enjoying writing this story. It is Heelarious. Poor Ginerva having to wade through the vipers. She handled that last question quite well, I gotta give it to her. Of course it'll be skewed in the mag though and I'm sure Carissa will have some choice words for Mz. Weasley in regards to her and Draco's um 'workplace' relationship. TFP, Looking forward to your next updates.
Author's Response: Ves says: OMG, Carissa. Yep, she’s probably somewhere with her makeup charms melting right off as her face turns red with rage. The mags are going to have a field day – I think we can all see that one coming.
Myn says: Oh, dear. See, this is why reviewers are invaluable. Ves, I'll tell you more privately about the thought this sparked once I've looked over the notes to see what we'd said about Carissa, but... Yes, thank you, reviewer.

This story reminds me of the book, The Devil Wears Prada. Great characterizations of all involved. Thanks.
Author's Response:

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.

It is witty, believeable, the charcters feel real and the plot is the most unique and interesting that I ahve read for some time. Eagerly awaiting the next installment!

Wow! This story is amazing! It's funny, witty, and realistic. I love it +2. I love how Draco's ordering the photos and Narcissa comes behindhim and all. I really hope that you'll give us a glance of what happens to those pictures. *Snicker*. I really hope that you can get more out soon. I really want to find out what happens.
P.S. I would really like to know how Pansy reacts to not getting her photos in the conference. This is a great story.
Author's Response:
Ves says: +2!? Geek love!! Excellent point about Pansy. We will have to see how that turns out.

I am completely in love with this story. The characters each have their own personailty and a style that is distinctly theirs. The humor applied in the fic is just; not too trying hard and not totally without... If that makes sense... Ah, well. Also, the plot is something fresh. It's something new compared to all the fics being doled out nowadays. It's also nice to see someone appreciate a girl with some curves! :P Another thing that's so great about this story is that it's almost as if one person wrote this. The both of you create this sort of fluidity... It's fantastic! I cannot wait for another chapter! Update soon? *pout* :D
Author's Response:
Ves says: We are kinda surprised how well this meshes. There are a lot of parts where we can't remember who wrote what! Glad this reads as something new and out of the norm of D/G fics.
Myn says: Well, I know you come up with all the cool chapter titles.
Beyond that, yeah, it all comes together.

I love this fic! It's absolutely hilarious *g* Ginny's pov is great - she's sassy and fun and self-confident, just like I'd imagine her in this situation, and the dynamic between her and Draco is promising. But what I love best is your Narcissa, so supremely sure of herself, so powerful and intimidating, and at the same time, with a wicked sense of humour. :) What a great collaboration!
Author's Response:
Ves says: I adore Narcissa and am always thrilled to see her written as a strong, confident and just a little wicked woman. Sadly, there aren't a lot of writers doing this. If you want something done right, sometimes you do have to do it yourself!
Myn says: That thing Ves said, about doing it yourself? The entire
reason I write fanfic. True story.
Ves says: I never knew that. Hmm...Me too. Particularly with that one beloved Buffyverse pairing. *grin*

Oh, how the innocent are exploited. This is fun. It'd very creative, and refreshing in that way. One gets so used to reading the same story over and over. You deserve a special type of respect for thinking up your own plot.
Author's Response:
Ves says: Well, sort of...The sort of manic feel of the company and the whirlwind of craziness was heavily inspired by The Devil Wears Prada. Of course, that book didn't have a single witch or wizard, so I suppose we have improved it greatly!
Myn says: Adding a Draco/Ginny romance improves almost anything by a
factor of twenty squillion.

This is the most entertaining fic I've read to date. I was fortunate enough to have seven chapters to read upon stumbling upon it, but I can hardly say I'm satiated. "Her new career..." I giggle every time I think about it. The next chapter is sure to be hysterical. I'm eagerly anticipating it. Not to mention, a hookup with Draco! ;)

Well this was well worth the wait! I loved Draco's characterization in this chapter; he does rather run the gamut of reactions, doesn't he? Oh poor, poor Ginny, if only she'd paid a bit more attention to him, she might have gotten a hint of what there were about to do to her. And afterwards? Simply perfect, perfect Draco, the way he clues her in about the release forms!
Are you going to do some nasty thing to Ginny with this "Jack Tetch" guy? You just don't let up on the poor girl do you? Well, I'm standing here still, waiting for the avalanche to dump on my head that I hear coming, but oh am I ever looking forward to it!
Author's Response:
Ves says: We will try not to hurt Ginny too badly. But then again, if nothing ever happens to one, how are we supposed to grow?
Myn says: Given the site's theme, and that it's me, I don't think
it's much of a spoiler to reassure you that, after any and all
suffering she does, there will be a Draco-shaped reward to make it up
to her. She just has to earn it! *evil smirk*

Ahh... you Girls updated! All I can say is that I love everything about this story, though I wish there could be more interaction between Draco and Ginny. Also another thing I GOT to love about you two is your sarcasm when answering the reviews... I simply love that! Please keep it up and update really soon, you don't know how the wait kills us!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I'm so happy another chapter came out. Ouroboros, huh? I bet Draco found the reptile interesting. Is there a story behind it (we hope)? Poor Ginny. So embarassed. She'll survive (again we hope).
Author's Response:
Ves says: *grin* I imagine a devilish little voice in Draco's head asked, "Now what's a nice little Gryff doing with a snake tattoo...and in such an interesting location?".
Myn says: Yes, well, describing what else Draco thought at the moment
would bump up the rating of these reviews. Suffice it to say he'll
probably manage to drag the story out of her eventually, and what I
mean by eventually is "when Ves and I think it up."
