Why was Ginny Weasley standing in a circle of robed and cloaked figures, swathed in black except for her uncovered left arm? Why was the littlest member of a family ruled by a muggle-obsessed patriarch awaiting being branded with the Dark Mark?Category: Completed Short Stories
All hail the new world order :P
I liked this.
The sequel to The Bat-Bogeys Cometh, and the second in the trilogy. In the summer of 1997, the entire wizarding world hovers above the abyss of its own destruction. The Death Eaters have escaped Azkaban and killed dozens of students on the Hogwarts Express, and the school has become a fortress of fear. No-one knows what happened to Draco Malfoy... except for Ginny. But there is more to the story than anybody dreams, and Ginny cannot resist going to Sirius Black’s grave on a long, hot summer evening, and as she tries to unravel the mystery of his life and death, she falls into a dream of the last days at Twelve Grimmauld Place with him, two years before. And when Ginny wakes to the reality of 1997 Hogwarts, she begins to understand why she is remembering all of these long-gone events... because although her last chance to save the wizarding world from the doom that awaits it lay in that summer past, there are powers to whom nothing is impossible—for a price.Category: Works in Progress
This is really very good. (To the first reviewer, I think that Peeve's little poem was from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. At the very end. From Puck.)
I love your characterizations, they're very believable. I am sad to see it's been so long since an update. I really hope you continue this! :P
A Vesica/Mynuet Collaboration. If Ginny had even the slightest inkling of what the day would bring, she probably would have called in sick. A disastrous press conference proved to be no match for the spin doctoring talents of Lush's chief and Ginny finds herself catapulted from being a lowly intern to the very eye of the storm, living a double life as a careerwitch and glamorous front woman for a racy new line. Throw in a few A-list events, a few dozen crises, an endless promotional tour with her new co-worker and the last person she wanted to spend time with, and a mystery waiting back home that neither of them may be able to solve….Every day's an adventure when you're living the Lush Life!Category: Works in Progress
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.
COMPLETE A week of detention bring Draco and Ginny closer together, and against all odds, an unlikely friendship emerges. But what will happen when their bond is tested and they both have to face the things they fear most? COMPLETECategory: Long and Completed
Hi! I just started this, but one thing that really detracted from the characterization of Ginny was her use of the word "mudblood." It's used as a racial slur for the Muggle-born, something I guess akin to the "n" word for black people, you know? It kept popping out at me, like Ginny was saying, "Your Dark Lord's half nigger!" Just... bizarre, and offensive, and not her. Aside from that I really like the way you made Draco have problems hitting women but not with hexing them. It just seems to fit.
I look forward to reading the rest. I'll leave another review when I've gotten through it all. I just wanted to mention before I forgot.
No one knew what caused the dragons to start to sicken and die, but they did. Those who cared for them were the damaged, the broken, those who had nothing left for which to brave the world.Category: Works in Progress
And then the Wilder came.
This is really interesting! (By the reviews I am sure you can tell that I am steadily working my way throughyour stuff, :P)
It's cool, and good, and... just very interesting. If the Wilder were female, and siz years older, I would think Sue, but this is a great way to avoid the Sueness inherent in anyone who is remarkable beautiful, powerful alien, and has some sort of connection with dragons. I like.
