twenty-something who indulges in Draco/Ginny fan-fiction while juggling a full time job and a full time school schedule. I love red wine and cooking good food...especially Italian. I love reading the stories posted on this site and I hope to one day write one of my own.

Downfall by Mourning Broken Angel    (Reviews - 169)

An explosion in the Potions classroom leaves behind a raving Potions Master, a bloody Draco, and a certain redhead we all love having a moment of altruistic weakness. Ginny's kindness makes Draco very suspicious, leading him to destroy her goodwill. In retribution, Ginny decides to put some embarrassing information about Draco to good use. Ahh, nothing like one-upmanship to kindle a little romance.

I think you've done a fantastic job of explaining Draco's side and his beleifs without making it seem sappy. You turned their dialogue into this intelligent and well thought process that would hopefully lead to a resolution of conflict.

The Lush Life by Vesanmyn    (Reviews - 657)

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!

Hello,

Thank you so much for the great read. I love the flow of the story and was quite sad to see there wasn't a "next" to click on. I hope that you continue with and finish this story. It's original and allows the readers to imagine our beloved characters in a more muggle like setting. Great job! :)

Author's Response: Ves says: It certainly isn’t the usual, “Let’s all go teach at Hogwarts” or “Let’s all gad about our massive mansions” fic and that’s made it exciting for both of us to work on.\r\n

\r\nMyn says: Yeah, I definitely think that taking it out of the usual settings is awesome, as it avoiding the cliche of having Draco be Ginny\'s boss. (Which I\'ve done, too, so no one feel slighted by that, okay?) \r\n

A very cute one shot. It read nicely. I like how Ginny stayed calme and collective through the whole story even though it was her child that was hurt as well.

Twelve Days To Christmas by Karen Noelle    (Reviews - 27)

I liked it. At first I thought that the ending was too anti-climatic but it fit well with the fact that it was a short story. I really enjoyed your writing style, I hope you choose to take on a longer story one day.

Before the Storm by Glass_Mermaid    (Reviews - 491)

*Winner of the Draco/Ginny Fanfiction Award for Best Novel Length Story.* "Perhaps not everything is as black and white as it appears. Perhaps, even my father was tangled in a web of his own emotions, and in the end it spelled his death. Perhaps I too will share his fate, dying not for the cause I believe in, but for that which I cannot foresee." The ever weaving threads of our own decisions can lead to irrevocable knots, and when Lucius Malfoy is destroyed by unexpected forces, his son, Draco, is thrown into a world of political intrigue, insatiable passion and desperate gambits, opening doors he never thought to look for, and creating a life he never thought he would have as his own.

I really like this story right off the bat, your character portrayals are great...I especially like Molly. She is the strong matriarch she should be without being over bearing and annoying as she often becomes in other stories.

Reviewer: tinamarie Signed

Ginny seems to be portrayed very meekly in this story. You can still see her inner strength but it is not brazen as with most stories.

Reviewer: tinamarie Signed
Date: Oct 03, 2008 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter Four

I am really enjoying your depiction of Mr. Malfoy. As you noted in the story early, we are all products of our environment and I see Draco as no different. We can't expect him to be this radically changed man even with everything he's been through. He's true to form and I thank you for that.

I do hope Gin becomes more out spoken and stronger (but not too strong!) in the chapters to come.

Dark Days by jessica k malfoy    (Reviews - 72)

As the war rages on, Ginny finds herself in prison underneath Draco Malfoy. The Dark Lord's prison is the stuff nightmare's are made of, but a chain of events causes the feelings to start changing. *COMPLETED* This is basically my own recreation of While You Were Sleeping by Burgosdamsco, which is an awesome story, just not finished yet. And yes, I did have her permission!
