And in the darkness bind them.Category: Completed Short Stories
That was really really beautiful. You've captured a fragile sentiment here, and I felt all sad reading this. Sometimes it doesn't matter that it's two characters in a fanfic story, sometimes it's just two people clinging to each other because they have to. Very poignant.

An essay written by your Site Mommy on the topic of things that those of us who read through and approve your fics wish you wouldn't do.Category: Essays
Lol, very good essay! It was clearly therapeutic for you to write as you got to let off a little steam and it was definitely therapeutic to read, it's good to know so many other people find these things irritating! One issue you touched on that annoys me particularly is the americanisation. I realise no one can be perfect of course, but being english myself, this really ruins the authenticity of a fic for me. As mentioned in the essay, I know the american versions have some altered spelling which makes sense but i've always thought it'd be nice to have a glossary of english slang terms in the back of the books, I think it'd add to the enjoyment (because you can laugh at all our silly english words lol) and the non-english readers' understanding of the books. Although, on a slightly irrelevant note, as an english child in the 90s bellbottoms could be cool and flares were most definitely IT, or at least big baggy trousers with added flare, and the high-waisted thing was more 80s in england. Anyway, as I said, a brilliant bit of writing and oh-so-accurate!

Author's Response: It\'s probably one of the few times I\'ve managed to put \'cute\' and \'Draco\' together in one Word document. Thanks for reading!!
Draco finds himself spending obscene amounts of time with Ginny Weasley, thanks to Blaise and his love for drama and hatred of boredom.Category: Works in Progress
I really, really like this! Engaging and entertaining beginning and I love your characterization. Feisty!Ginny really is the only way to go as far as I'm concerned lol, hope to see another chapter soon, great stuff! Marz xx
Author's Response: Thank you for your review! I love Feisty!Ginny, too. I wouldn\'t think a person like Draco would go for someone who couldn\'t keep him on his toes.
