Salut! My other penname (from ff.net) is J'aime Draco
I LOVE to write, I love to read, and I'd love to edit anyones work in my freetime :)
I'll be putting some stories up as soon as I get a hang of the process for this site....

Kisses, BlackSnowflakes

PS>> I love snow as well, if you didn't pick that up already, and surprisingly I don't like black because it is some profound color, but just because I love to wear black...the couture black not the washed out goth black...although I can admire any style. : )

"how he would listen, actually listen when she talked, and how he would hear the words she didn't say"
That line is soo divine. I think it should be somewhere in the recipe for "perfect man" (ie. Draco)

yay! I was really sad when she was traded, and then I thought maybe she'd have a fling with Oliver (b/c, admit it, hes smoking gorgeous) and Draco would get jealous...but I like it just the way it is!

And if it makes you feel any better, us Red Sox fans are deliriously happy with Doug Mientkiewics :)
he totally tops Devil Damon by a million. Damnn traitor...

I lovedd the story :D

Author's Response: Man, I used to really like Johnny Damon, too, before he went over there. And thanks for the review and love for Doug! :)

Honestly, I LOVE YOU for ALL of these points!! Its extremely irritating to see people making these mistakes...you don't even need to attend high school to make some of these corrections!
But above all THANK YOU for underlining the rape-fic issue. Those fics annoy me to NO END! It doesn't take a psychiatrist to realise that a rape victim jumps up and down and have sex right after s/he's been sexually abused. Ew to those writers.
And also something that sort of falls under this catagory; eating disorders. I've dealt with that shadow, and in EVERY fic I've read it's some whiny girl with a romantic notion of a knight in shining armor saving her ending up being the author. Again, it's not too hard to figure out the psyche of somebody with an eating disorder or cancer. And some "writers" flaunt these diseases about as some glamour which harnesses yummy men. I don't know who they talked to, but whoever it was LIED.
So thank you so so much for these pointers! I loved the Mary Sue survey btw. :D

Under by tudorrose1533    (Reviews - 50)

Award-winning fic from the D/G Fic Exchange on LJ. "His body lies cold and still beside her; his mouth is open, an O, and his hair is drying, feathery, in wisps, over his closed eyes. That fair skin; that nearly white hair. Dead, he looks so young...."

The dark and tragic story of a journey Under...based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.

No no noo you did not do that!! *sigh* you did. I absolutely adore Greek mythology, and how they play with desire and love and greed and vulnerability, and love Orpheus and Eurydice and Echo and Narcissus the most, so I wanted to read this as SOON as I saw it. And I was reading. And reading. And by the middle I thought maybe you’d loosely based it upon the original myth, just so you could have them fall in love in the underworld, and then Draco would decide not to live. But noo he said yes. So then I thought you’d let them live.
The “trial”, if you will, with Persephone and Hades was awesome. I honestly don’t know how else to describe it. I love how the gods and goddesses are made human with their relationships and deeds, and I love how you incorporated every bit of that, as well as Ginny’s questioning and the falling in love bit were every ounce believable and not too sugary sweet as all :D And then the smut scene (although I hate to use that word in this case) so ok, when they made love; ohhh beautiful scene. Usually the writer botches it up by making Draco a sex fiend for his first time, abd you didn’t!! I’m happy. So anyways then you killed Draco. Again. Gosh that was a great fic. Melancholy and sadddd but I thought for the briefest moment that you were not going to kill him. It’s probably better that you didn’t change the myth too much, although if you did write some sort of alternate ending…my email…you could send it…:)
Thanks for adding such a beautiful story!

Author's Response: Teehee, they make such a good pair. Blaise and Luna and Blaise and Draco, I mean :B. I really wish Blaise had been slightly more prominent in the books- or at least more of a friend to Draco than Crabbe of Goyle *shudder*. Thanks for the review!!

this is such a beautiful story, and thank you so much for posting it. It must have been extremely difficult :(. My prayers are with Danielle Elizabeth's family, and her in heaven, and you as well, and trust me I'm practically Atheist.
I nearly lost my little cousin last month, and lost another two years ago, and they barely diagnosed the both of them. My cousin who passed wasn't supposed to live to see 5, but she lit up our lives to the age of 11! So I've seen what this situation does to everyone, and thank you so much for having the strength to post this up. It was really heartfelt.
All my love.

Author's Response: My prayers are with you and your family as well. I posted this becuase it was a way for me to honor her, the only way that I could

I love your characterization of Draco! It's different from angsty gentleman for once--very refreshing :) ...although not that there's anything wrong with a troubled bad boy!
Draco and Blaise's conversation made me laugh too...typical men...and " 'That stupid bloke with his stupid accent...'
'It’s dreamy,' said Blaise languorously."
Oh Blaise...he's so true though.

so kudos to originality! I loved it and thought it was hilarious! ..and unexpected!

It's stands well as a one-shot, but it could be funny as a full on fic...or maybe just each chapter a bit from their relationship...I love the one chapter too though :D

Broken Glass by Pipperstorms    (Reviews - 19)

The War left Ginny Weasley broken and hallow. The one man she turned to for salvation did more harm then good. But Draco Malfoy refuses to let her stay broken, he is more than willing to cut himself to peice back together what someone else has shattered.

This story is dedicated to every girl and woman who has ever suffered either physical or emotional abuse in a relationship. And to every guy brave enough to try and rebuild what someone else has broken.

I especially likes the "facade of maturity" bit, because its so true, and the story is so heart-wrenching..I loved it. And the gloomy/melancholy mood fit so well

...sequel?? ...although I do like it as a loner too..

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your extremely kind words. I\'m glad you appreciate it alone because, as of now, I don\'t plan on a sequel. There\'s only so far you can take non-happily-ever-afters before plot steps in and they\'re married, which doesn\'t suit Draco and Ginny in this case.

gahhh that was fantastic!! I read the first chapter and didn't realize there was a second one, and got really sad, but then I saw the "Next" button and screamed in delight!! I really lovvve this story, and loved (like "kissed my computer screen and then hastily wiped it"-loves) the childrens' reaction to Ginny and Harry's impending and necessary divorce. Ambiguous ending, I agree, but you should make another chapter with Ginny finally running into Draco's arms! I loved all of the characters, and Narcissa's reference to her sex-life (and Ginny's reaction) was HILARIOUS!!
...chance at a third chapter? :D

Fantastic job!! I really liked how you moved from scene to scene, and the imagery you placed in the scene. You did a good job at making the characters believable (there are too many Hogwarts fics where they act like they're a couple in their 30s rather than teens!!) but you perfectly portrayed it, and had I loved how their relationship developed : )
The one critique I'd give, is sometimes in certain scenes their thoughts got in the way of the flow, or they would say something unnecessary which the reader can infer (ie. the part in the kiss scene in the parenteses...although I really loved that scene, and how it was "chaste"!!)

I hope my review helps, you're a great writer!! I look forward to reading more from you!
