Great job! Good concept, well told! I love the storyline with Pansy and Blaise.
Congrats, Mummy! :D
Author's Response: Thanks so much, sweetie! the B plot with Pansy and Blaise evolved as I was writing it, and it was a nice surprise and counterpoint to Draco and Ginny. I'm glad you liked it, too. :)

Hrm... I guess so. Apologies! Overall, I really enjoyed the intellectual / idealistic-yet-practical cerebral nature of your utopia-progressive story. Keep up the good work! :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I don't normally write a lot of the things that went into this story, like a more assertive Ginny, politics, and Quidditch. I'm glad it worked well. :)

This has been fantastic. I loved your take on the politics of the wizarding world, and of course Draco and Ginny were phenomenal. Loved it!
Author's Response: Thanks! That's not my usual plot point, so I'm glad it worked out okay. :)

YAY!! I loved it! I was cheering for the reforms the entire chapter. I think my favorite part though, was when Pans and Ginny were in the park and the man yelled at them to get a room. lol. Just a side note... it's generally the beau monde or the haute ton, I've never heard it as the haute monde, and I've read far more Regencies than I would like to admit.
Author's Response: lol. I read way too many Regencies, too. :D I wanted to do something slightly different, since this is Wizarding stuff and they're just slightly off of traditional England. So I smooshed the terms. ^^; I'm glad you liked the story overall. :)

the end? i hope there's an epilogue. that ending is a bit weak; i'm not really impressed. sorry if that's harsh.
but not a bad story, regardless.

Author's Response: Hey, you're entitled to your opinion. No problem with that. :) The ending is abrupt because I wanted to follow the outline of the original drabble and wanted to have it end the same way. Because I was fleshing out a drabble, I didn't really come up with any ideas for what happens next, so there's no epilogue. If Real Life allows, maybe there will be more in this particular 'verse.

What a wonderful story. I'm so happy it had a happy ending. I hate that it ended so soon. The plot and characters were so great, it could have lasted a while longer. Maybe there will be an epilogue?!?!
Author's Response: lol. I was following the outline of the original drabble, so I didn't come up with any ideas for what happens next. We'll see if Real Life allows for that.

Hooray for happy endings! I found Draco's reluctance to be seen together (for Ginny's sake, of course) especially endearing. I enjoyed this story very much. Thanks so much for sharing it!

you have to!!!!

i loved it
Author's Response: We'll see. I didn't have any ideas for what happened after this, since I really was fleshing out a drabble. We'll see if Real Life cooperates. :)

Aw, what a lovely ending! I really enjoyed reading this story. I'm rather upset that it had to end so quickly. The story has a great plot that was engaging and intriguing.
I can't wait to read more of your stories!
Author's Response: I wanted it to end the same way the drabble did, so there really isn't any fallout of the announcement. Not that I had ideas on what happened next anyway. ^^; I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

No way. Seriously? The end? Duuuuuude.
Well, it certainly was an awesome ride, even if it did have a sudden stop. I'd love to see a sequel...
Author's Response: Sorry about that! I wanted to end the story the same way the drabble did, and I didn't have too much in mind for after the story ended. Plus, Real Life is hectic. We'll see if I get any ideas for a sequel.

woot. I am really, really happy with this. Pansy is getting her baby with Blaise and Gin and Draco are coming out to the world. I know that this is over but do you plan on doing future out-takes to let us see if they have babies and how their families react? Glad that I found this and came along for the ride. Happy writing in your future fics/ideas. :)
Author's Response: Both couples got their happy ending, which is what I wanted. I'm not sure about any sequels to this. I probably could, but I'm fairly low on ideas at this point. Then again, Real Life is pretty hectic and that could be a huge factor in that. :) We'll see what happens with it.

Nice chapter. I love your writing. Really smooth. I've read published works that are harder to follow than your Quidditch writing, and I think that that really says something.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks! It was my first attempt at really writing Quidditch without glossing over anything, so I'm glad it was easy enough to imagine what was going on. :)

This was another great chapter, even though there wasn't much Draco. I'm glad Pansy has Blaise to help her deal with her marriage. I'm sure he's even better than pain medication :)
Author's Response: Well, with a lot of characters that I introduced in the fic, it's hard to give everyone a lot of face time. Draco shows up in the next chapter. :)

I just started reading this story and it's fantastic. The plot is interesting, the characterizions and interactions are soooo good and the sex is hot!!! I haven't reviewed about the story yet but really would if somebody would take away that old goats Viagra (do they have that in England?). I know Pansy agreed to the marriage, but ewwwww.
Author's Response: *snickers* Yeah. Chesterfield really doesn't have any redeeming qualities, does he? I'm sure there are potion equivalents of Viagra, but I really don't want to contemplate that. ;) Pansy at least now has something happy going on in her life, tho.

Hee hee! I almost wish Ginny had done something more spectacular while on the pain potions, but it's probably better that she didn't. And her manipulation of Chesterfield was absolutely brilliant! Thanks for the update!
Author's Response: Yeah. Going too far probably wouldn't be a good thing, even on pain meds. :) I had fun needling Chesterfield through Ginny, and I think it showed. :D

Very good chapter! Though I just can't seem to get why anyone would want to bring a child into a marage like that of Pansy's, I know you have your point about the old coot only wanting an Heir and then he would be off Pansy's back in all but I still can't see bringing a baby into that. One could only hope that he will die of natural causes due to his age and all and Pansy and Blaise could get together that way! Very little Draco in this chapter but it was good! I can't wait to read your next chapter!!
Author's Response: I didn't exactly put Pansy into a place where she had a lot of options. Chesterfield wants an heir by just about any means necessary, and Pansy wanted her family taken care of by any means necessary. Pretty much a lose-lose situation as far as any child is concerned. But with Blaise, Draco and Ginny firmly in the picture, not to mention all of the other charity members, I'm sure the wee one won't turn out as warped as it would if it was just Chesterfield and Pansy. One more chapter to go.
