I adore your story Darlings... Must add more, I will be watching. You two make a wonderful pair, and your story is amusing, pastpaced, witty, and best of all it has good grammar.

Author's Response: Myn says: Yeah, I'm a big fan of grammar. I think a few people have noticed.

Ves says: Is that why the entire Cabal has "Grammar Nazis in Training" t-shirts? I always wondered....And thanks for the kind words. We are having a blast writing this and I am glad it shows.

Hahaha What to do with pictures of Ginny? Bad Draco Baad :D

Author's Response: Myn says: No matter how bad he gets, you can't spank him. I made a promise.

Ves says: That only you or Ginny can spank him? *smirks*

Myn says: I can neither confirm nor deny that allegation due to the terms of the nondisclosure agreement.

Ves says: So you aren't referring to....THIS contract?? *holds up papers*

Myn says: Dunno, can't read that fine a print from here. *fumbles for glasses*

Ves says: Yeah....sure. Moving on.

Ooh no--from your responses to last chapter's reviews, "Ginny's got a lot more than she bargained for," I am very scared for her. Well, at least the pictures'll be sexy, right?...

And Malfoy's such a perv. Heehee. Or does he just have a crush?

Author's Response: Ves says: Before Myn can jump in here and protest...I have to say, Yeah. He's a wee bit of a perv. And that's why we love him!

Myn says: I'm not sure "or" is really the correct conjunction there. There's not really a mutually exclusive nature to those two theories.

Ves says: Oh I give up. *sulks*

awesome story so far! I love it, and I hope you update soon. It's great and I'm hooked.

Author's Response: *Myn whistles innocently and hides the fishing gear.*

Ves says: I don't know her.

This is interesting...I can't wait to see what will happen...I like how you're keeping the D/G thing on the down low for a bit...I'm interested in some more Draco character development so that I can see what kind of Draco I'm reading about but besides that this story is AMAZING! :D
Woot.

Author's Response: Myn says: Well, there will be more Draco - this is dracoandginny.com, after all - but since the story is very much focused on Ginny's point of view, we won't be seeing a lot of him until Ginny sees a lot of him. But, hey, that way you can go on a voyage of Draco discovery alongside Ginny! Won't that be great? ... Yes, well, there'll be more Draco later, regardless.

Ves says: We weren't planning on killing him off in chapter 10 or anything? (We weren't...right?) So there will be plenty more pondering of Draco to be done.


Author's Response: Myn says: Chapter 23, actu... *shuffles readers away* Nothing to see here, move along.

Ves says: Ha ha!!...Psstt....I thought that was right after we have Ginny accidentally destroy the Houses of Parliment to foil the alien invasion in chapter 34? Myn says: No, remember, first he dies and is reborn as a Nosferatu, then he tries to feed on Ginny and they're interrupted, and through a series of wacky hijinks they discover that alien dna can cure vampirism, but only if combined with werewolf dna and love's first kiss. Those are chapters 23-31. The Houses of Parliament is just light comic relief.

Ves says: Ooooh yeah. *scribbles plot notes*

Oh my... I can't wait as to what is coming next...I do have pretty good idea about it. I must say, this chapter was chaotic, and Im loving every second of it. Although I am anxiously waiting for the next verbal banter between our two favourite people...and what ungraceful, but winsome action is Ginny going to pull off...anyhow ladies, marvellous writing as said, and best wishes till next!!
luv,
-tas

Author's Response: Myn says: Keep an eye on us - we may yet allow Ginny to have a graceful moment. No word on relative winsome levels.

Ves says: I think part of Ginny's appeal is just how NOT perfect we are writing her. Where's the fun in a perfect heroine?

Myn says: Well, there's some entertainment to be found in the voodoo doll/burning in effigy directions.

Ves says: I am really trying to cut back on the amount of voodoo my work inspires...at least until I get that partial share in my local hoodoo shop.

This is really good! I'm really enjoying this whole "Lush" thing it's very interesting to read about!
I can't wait to find out the reactions to the new product line!

Author's Response: Ves and Myn say: Thanks and thrilled you are enjoying this!

I love this, can't wait to see what the pictures turn out like, especially the one at the end of the shoot that the dude had his 'vision' about :)

Update as soon as you can. *smiles*

Author's Response: Myn says: Yes, it was quite the vision. Very... Visionary.

Ves says: And very alliterative on your part, Myn. Update coming....as soon as we get done responding to reviews!

Oh. Dear. God. I can almost see whats coming with the inevitability of an express train to hell. Oh I'm SO looking forward to seeing Ginny's reactions to the pictures. LOL Love love LOVE this story!

Author's Response: Ves says: We never said we were particularly sly about what's coming next! There is a certain satisfaction in antici-----pation.

Myn says: There is a certain je ne sais quoi about the feeling of what's coming. Kinda like standing at the bottom of a snowy valley and hearing an echo and a rumble.

man somehow i missed the previous chapter being posted.....i cant wait to read the description of this pic draco is all O.O over . Ginny is going to flip i am sure!!! :D and i LOVE LOVE LOVED the but where inny woke up and terrified the poor little intern with her need for caffiene!!! AWESOME! :D You guys make me laugh so much!!! Looking forward to more!!!

Author's Response: Ves says: Interns live in a perpetual state of terror no matter what the field. We were just trying to be true to life. And yeah - Ginny's reaction should be...fun.
Myn says: Well, you know, some mornings the intake of caffeine is really more about the selfless need to protect the rest of the world from the damage you would do. I of course know nothing of this, being a wonderful and kind soul who always wakes up smiling.

OH boy! That one I have to see!!! Priceless just priceless..the whole thing. THe scheeming, dead-on Narcisa Malfoy, the womanizer (loved his backwards compliment btw) Draco and the funny, bad-tempered Ginny. The crack about Pansy's forrays on plastic surgery were great as well!!! Please give us an update soon!!!

Author's Response:
Myn says: Thank you, although with regards to the priceless thing, we're looking into how to accept mastercard. ;)

Ves says: *snicker* Or gifts of chocolate...one or the other.

I cannot even begin to describe how much I love this fic!! The fun starts with the chapter titles (which are GREAT), and then each and every word after is an absolute delight.

I'm not sure about the rest of you guys, but WHATEVER is in the pic that Draco wants life-sized, I personally hope it inspires some of those amazing D/G artists out there to sketch it....

Author's Response: Myn says: I second the chapter title love. Ves has a distinct knack for coming up with awesome ones.
Ves says: Awww...stop it. You are making me blush.
Myn says: Also, there /will/ be art for the pictures in the next chapter, I just don't know whether the art will be ready at the same time the chapter is ready to be posted.
Ves says: I think they will be awesome whenever they're done.

i lovee it.

Ves says: *raised brow* Ditto.

FABULOUS!!!! I can hardly wait til you update again!

Author's Response: Ves says: And yet...you have.
Myn says: Well, she did say /hardly/. Maybe we should offer her some nice tea or something to make up for the strain we've put her under.
Ves says: Good plan! *hands over a nice cuppa*

Liking the story a lot so far! I'm very curious about what's to come, keep up the good work!

Author's Response: Ves says: We like to keep you all guessing!
Myn says: And don't worry, as long as you're not a cat, I'm fairly certain curiosity won't prove fatal.

What was that picture that made Draco order a life-size of it? Planning to wank off with that picture in sight, Mr. Malfoy? This chapter was, once again, refreshing, and I am so thankful for all the fluff; I just died after the latest chapter of the Anise fic, KCOTDT, and this one brought back all hope rushing back! The scene with Josh the intern was awesome; there is something sexy about a woman calming threatening men around. Both the women in this fic are amazing, just like both the women who are writing it! I look forward to your responses as much as the story, and you seem like cool ladies who can also write among other things. Thank you for an amazing chapter! And some very inspiring author's response! :)

Author's Response: Myn says: Mr. Malfoy would like it known that any crass speculations about his private activities will be met with lawsuits if they are made public.
Ves says: See, I was going to say "wanking" sounds so....plebian. But as usual..Myn said it better! Thanks for the sweet feedback! Glad you are enjoying this wild ride.

oh the hanger, you kill me >_< ... i can't wait to see Ginny's reaction when they unravel the posters of her.. oh it will be so exciting... of course wonderful chapter and story!

Author's Response: Myn says: I'm sorry! I'll just fold all my clothes from now on, okay? No more hangers.
Ves says: Oh, it should be quite amusing! Also...Myn - *snerk*.

I love that Draco wants copies of Ginny's photos (life-sized). Why do I suspect his interest in them had nothing to do with the ad campaign? Poor Carissa, I believe Draco is one of those men that likes (formerly) hairy beasts.

I also love that Narcissa is intelligent, observant and really very cool beneath her scary bitch exterior.

Excellent story! I'm very much looking forward to more nudity, smirking, nude smirking and kick-ass business women.

Author's Response: Myn says: Is that any way to work that bit about nude smirking into the summary? Because our readership would double.
Ves says: Maybe we should work nude smirking in first. 'Tis brilliant though. Even Shakespeare never thought of nude smirking!
Myn says: Okay, so now our list of things to write into the story later stands at 1) a cliff, and 2) nude smirking. I love reading reviews, it's so inspiring!
Ves says: Why plot when these people all keep throwing story gold at us?
Name: flame_kitty reviewed Chapter Six – Potions, Press Conferences, & Pastry Purloining on Feb 01, 2006 06:42 am
yay!! I haven't read this fic since the second chapter came out and I was so happy to see 4 new chapters!!
I can't wait for more, but I understand that you want to keep it's plot headed in the right direction, I'm just excited to see it being updated!
Keep up the awesome job!!

Author's Response: Myn says: Hee! Yeah, sometimes I save up fics so I can read it all at once and thus lessen the pain of waiting.
Ves says: Smart to do with this fic, I think! We are terrible about leaving cliffhangers at the end of chapters. Though not literally...so far.
Myn says: I wonder if we can write a cliff into chapter 11?
Ves says: Hmmm....

Yay! And so speedy. I totally didn't expect this for a while but go you guys!

Myn says: Yes! Go us!

Ves says: Just trying to keep you guessing! Though I think this might have been a fluke...Errr...

Eagerly (and humbly) awaiting your next updates! More Malfoy?

Author's Response:
Myn says: Yes, definitely. Of both of them.

Ves says: Or did she mean MORE Malfoy...because that could be coming too. *evil grin*

Oh yay! I'm always sitting on the edge of my seat after reading one of these chapters, but that just makes it all the more exciting to see Vesandmyn at the top of the most recent list :) I love it when you update (that was a subtle, yet cautious and courteous request)!

Author's Response:
Myn says: Yay! I don't think I've ever been exciting before.

Ves says: Oh please! You are exciting all the time! Glad to know new chapters are being awaited - it's nice that people are enjoying this one.

The poor intern! That part was hilarious (well, the whole chapter was, but that was my favorite). And I love Narcissa with her little herd of stilletoed (sp?) help. I can just picture them clicking their way around the office. Nice alliteration in the chapter title! I tried to think of an alliterative review, but alas, am not clever (or patient) enough. The best I can think of is "I chortled my way through this chapter." Sad, really.

Author's Response:
Ves says: The image of a flock of ladies on ridiculously high heels prancing around after their chief got stuck in my head. Glad to have passed it on!
Myn says: Total credit for our awesome chapter titles goes to Ves. Yay, Ves!
Ves says: Thank you, thank you. I think the trick is not taking the titles or the chapters themselves too seriously.
Name: Rhina reviewed Chapter Six – Potions, Press Conferences, & Pastry Purloining on Jan 31, 2006 05:00 pm
I really love the very faithful characterization of Narcissa as I feel like she really is who she is from the books while working in a AU fic. I also like the subtle hints of Draco wanting Ginny. It's nice to see a Draco and Ginny fic where it is not so blatant but yet makes you lust for more.

Excellent fic and certainly glad to see this.

Author's Response:
Myn says: It's a fine line between AU and OOC, and I'm glad to hear we're walking on the right side of it. :D And I'm all in favor of lusting.

Ves says: Certainly the right sort of aura for this fic. And we are having a grand time writing Narcissa. Glad our vision of her is working for you.
