24 year old who should probably be spending less time on D/G and more time on finishing her B.A. but hey, you all know what that's like, right?

I'm currently working on a D/G story I started ages ago based on Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice.

He looked at the wall for a long time. “I can paint anything I want?” he asked finally.

She nodded. “Anything.”

“I want to paint you.”

Draco Malfoy may be head of SpecOps, but that doesn’t mean he’s above a little smash-and-grab job. And – hey, wait, is that Ginny Weasley?

Ha, awesome! That was so much fun! Great - fresh! - banter, cute plot. I loved it.

Though I confess... The title made me think that the story was about "faking it" in an entire different way...

Author's Response: Haha, I admit that I have quite a difficult time when it comes to thinking up titles. Once it popped into my head, it stuck...innuendo and all. :D I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

The Journey Home by gidge_8    (Reviews - 56)

Ginny skips out on her last year at Hogwarts to go in search of answers in a troubled post-Voldemort world. What she finds along the way is a mad-eyed mentor, a mystery around the murder of Lucius Malfoy, and an adventure that teaches her far more than she thought possible.

Written for tudorrose1533 in the 2011 DG Fic Exchange. Nominated in six categories, winner: Best Minor character.

Note: this story will have one additional scene that was not part of the fic exchange posting. It will be NC-17.

I appreciate how you built up the background to allow for Ginny's reaction to Draco's kiss. It makes it so much more realistic.

Author's Response: :) I felt she needed a bit of a reason to not hex him. :D I'm sure she really wanted to.

Reviewer: GoldenFawkes Signed
Date: Oct 10, 2011 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 - The Challenge

At first I wanted to say, "Hot!" about this chapter. But that is such a "blah" way to describe it. It was so much more than that. It had an intensity that made it more than just smut. Really well done. I'm really looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Oh! Thank you so much! I'm so glad the intensity came through. This chapter took me longer than the entire rest of the story to write and revise.
Hugs!

Very suspenseful. I feel sorry for Draco. So alone. So sad. :(

Author's Response: Oh! I love how you picked up on that. It's very difficult to get his emotions to come across, since the story is from Ginny's point of view. Both of them are quite alone but they don't fully realize it, but at least Ginny has Moody looking out for her a bit. :)

How is it that Harry took it so much better than Draco? Or is Draco about to calm down and work things out with Ginny, the way that Harry did with Astoria?

Author's Response: Because it hurt Draco more. Draco always loved Ginny, whereas Harry doesn't love Astoria -- he sympathizes with her. He knows what it's like to have a spouse who isn't in love. There will be much more about Draco and Harry's reactions/feelings in the upcoming chapters. Thanks for the review! :)

Can't remember if I reviewed this chappy... You may wish I hadn't because I feel like this was just filler. Disappointing. :(

Author's Response: You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but it wasn't really filler. There were important things in this chapter that are going to come into play later, so I am sorry that you feel this way.

Reviewer: GoldenFawkes Signed
Date: Mar 06, 2012 Title: Chapter 5: My Heart, Where My Head Should Be

I'm glad for the plot progression but Draco and Harry are acting a bit too much like they're in new relationships, ("Hey! A picnic and a tickle-fest in the middle of nowhere!" "Let's have a flour-fight!")for the chapter to have been really believable.

Author's Response: I'm sorry that you didn't find it believable, but you've got to remember that they actually are in new relationships, the men just don't realize it. This chapter is supposed to show that their switch is having a greater effect on their lives than they realized. It's not only making them try to be people they're not, but its also cmaking their husbands (and this is a total cliche) fall in love again. Hopefully this helps you understand why I made the choices that I did! Thanks for the review :)

Reviewer: GoldenFawkes Signed
Date: Jun 18, 2012 Title: Chapter 11: The Damage Done

Somehow I missed this chapter. Reading it helped make sense of the epilogue... I'm glad that Ginny decided to take the time she needed to take care of herself and her children before jumping into a new relationship. I'm not as impressed with Draco not understanding, considering he was the one who pointed it out to her to begin with.

Author's Response: You may have missed it because I did post 11 and 12 within a few days of each other. I'm glad the epilogue makes more sense now. :P

As for Draco not understanding, I see your point. I think he was just so angry and so hurt but he still wanted Ginny, and her rejecting him, even for good reason, was just the last straw for him. It wasn't so much that he didn't understand, but rather that, at that point, he figured that they couldn't go any lower so they may as well take advantage of the situation that the polyjuice switch created. I hope that makes sense!

Why would Charlie be getting married at Malfoy Manor? I know that's not what I'm supposed to take from this chapter but it bugged me throughout...

Author's Response: I actually had a line of dialogue in the original draft that explained it, but I took it out for some reason. Oops. It was basically just supposed to be a favor to Charlie because Draco had made right with Molly and the Weasleys (except for Ginny) in the previous chapter.

Ginny and Astoria have to talk to each other and work out how to handle the husbands coming on to them.

Author's Response: That would be the rational, intelligent thing to do. Thanks for the review! :)

Reviewer: GoldenFawkes Signed
Date: Feb 18, 2012 Title: Chapter 1: Sunday Tea

Also - I learned a new word from this chapter! "Predation". Why doesn't Astoria like it?

Author's Response: Yay! :) I think she is just a little more reserved than Ginny, so that is why I don't think she'd like to be treated that way.

Hello, Ginny, are you a witch or not? Silencio him!

It might not hurt to have all the kids find out before Harry and Draco do; their acceptance makes their parents' deeds less damaging.

Author's Response: The problem with that is that the kids are all at Hogwarts. Thanks for the review :)
