I do hope you don't give up on this xx

Author's Response: Hi Kate, This is another that was origianally released as part of a fic contest, so it was more of a beginning than an entire story. The plan for this is to do it "anime" style, as a series. The next two episodes of the serial are outlined and partially written, but I have a conundrum over the Dragonball universe and kind of want to drop it. Thanks for letting me know you like it. It does give me incentive to not drop the project entirely when I know that people care about reading further. Thanks!

ooooh, awesome! haha i think i asked for this a few fic exchanges ago. am glad that you flew with the Hana Kimi-ness! ^_^

Author's Response: Ah! I always wondered who sent that prompt! :) I guess you dropped out, because when they posted the story they didn't say who I wrote it for. I was a backup writer, so I got the prompt late, and it ended up being one of the last stories posted, so nobody read it, which was really disappointing. As a result, I hated this story for a while, because I thought nobody liked it. After it sat for a couple of years, I decided to give it another chance and post it here. It seems to be well-received. It is rather funny because I had never watched Hana Kimi or Dragon Ball Z before, so I had to do a lot of research before I could write.

Oh, wow! I love Ginny dressing up as a boy. Her childish crush on Malfoy is described brilliantly and I can't wait for more!

Author's Response: So glad you like it! :)

I really like where this is going :) I love the AUness of it and the potential.

Just one thing : I wasn't sure whether Ginny was applying to be an Auror because she genuinely wanted to or because Draco was there - I think both were implied at points. (I admit I would prefer the first option because it would imply she's independent and has an agenda of her own) though it seems it might be the latter.

Anyway, looking forward to more :)

Author's Response: A very good question! I think Ginny isn't sure of it herself. She is definitely frustrated with the fact that she's not treated as an equal, and she is very interested in becoming an Auror - not necessarily because of the career itself, but because it's something forbidden. She wants to find out why it's such a big deal that women aren't considered capable enough to make it, because she's pretty sure she can if she works hard enough. However, i think she definitely would not have gone against social convention if it wasn't for her quest to chase her Quidditch player. She has the intention of succeeding, just to prove that she can, because, she's pretty darned sick of seeing her brothers have opportunities that she doesn't, and she wants to stick it to them a bit, because she knows she's just as smart and capable. She's no quitter. She decided to go for it, and she's going to do her best to succeed. More coming soon! And thank you so much for reading.

This looks very very promising. I;m intrigued as to how it all will play out. Ginny's got herself in a tight spot and her plan was obviously not thought through.

I hope you update soon!

Author's Response: I'm glad you like it so far. :) I seem to do that a lot with Ginny, where she doesn't really think things through. I think that's sort of a Gryffindor trait - to charge in bravely without considering all the facts. LOL. However, in this case, she's based on the Hana Kimi character, who is very much on the clumsy side.
