"Oh honestly!" Ginny exclaimed. "Why don't you two just whip 'em out and get this over with. I'll go get a tape measure." The boys stared at her in shock. She slapped her hand over her mouth. "Did I say that out loud?" She asked. Ginny looked around as if searching for the real source of the voice.

That was so. funny. I seriously had to stop reading at a few points because I was laughing out loud.

post-fic Psych101 classes are fun =P I figured it would be something like that, though, that they lost a child (my first thought was miscarriage, but the length of the depression wasn't quite appropriate)

awwwwwwww *grins like mad*

alright, so it wasn't Aberforth Dumbledore, it just really really seemed like it. I'll live.

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
I loved Malfoy Madness Day or whatever it was called, by the way. Your twists are BRILLIANTLY woven into the plot - they're unexpected, yes, but they totally fit. and the flow was immpeccable - you never missed a beat, i swear. I was so afraid this fic would be one that started off really strong with a lot of great ideas, then sort of fizzle, but you proved me wrong at every point (and how glad I was to be wrong, lemme tell ya)

I LOVE that it took them so long to just stfu and get smart about it, lol. You laid the groundwork so well, and I'll definitely be rereading this again and again, you did an INREDIBLE job writing it, it deserves it.

allllrighty, I'll...leave you alone now, lol, sorry. Read it all in one sitting, too...couldn't bear to look at how many chapters there were, didn't want it to end. But end it did. And now it's bedtime, lmao.



Author's Response: Hi Arabela, Thanks for the supernice reviews! It *was* Aberforth, or at least I intended to imply that it was, without making him significant to the plot, really. I just like his whole goat thing, so I wanted to work it in. Sick, aren\'t I? :)

My Anything by Eienvine    (Reviews - 363)

aaa!!! hahaha.

Yaknow, it was probably not the best idea to start this fic the day before Christmas Eve, when I had so much to do in those two days i'd barely be at the computer...though I suppose that's why it's 2AM Christmas day and I'm...not asleep yet.

haha, it was wonderful! Hysterical, and wonderful. I love the little witty conversations you plug in here and there--not enough to be constant, but enough to keep a reader interested and begging for more. Especially that bargaining one, I think that was my favorite in the whole story.

I must admit, I knew at the beginning hed been doing something insanely important on That Day he dragged Ginny to the Manor--something that would change her view of that day and him--but yiiikes, burying his father alone? poor kid.

Very well written and some FABULOUS OCs...great plays on canon characters, too. =) I really loved it!

Along Came A Wizard by fallenwitch    (Reviews - 642)

A bet, a wanted witch, and a magical contract land Draco in a most unexpected situation. Can his Slytherin soul survive intact or will he succumb to one redheaded witch in bondage? Snarky humor, romance, and a pinch of angst. “I don’t want it. I didn’t order it. Now leave me the fuck alone.” He slammed the door closed. Only it didn’t close due to the enormous boot wedged into its threshold. One loud grunt later and it flung back open, almost hitting him in the face. Draco reflexively leaned back, and that’s when she was thrust into his unsuspecting arms.

I love this story! It really does seem like it could end here, but you don't seem to be done with it, so we'll wait and see, haha.

I think it's actually kind of (okay, a lot) fitting that she's dying. It's not the riding-off-into-the-sunset that everyone might like, but it is happy, in that they're together. love!

getting into the D/Gness was iffy (but good) but once we got past that it was just AWESOME. I love how Draco stays in character despite revealing deeper emotions and things - his sense of humor, his opinions towards and about Harry, his desires to be free and in control of himself. LOVEDIT.
I especially loved Blaise. Oh Blaise. OOOhhhhh Blaise. I nearly cried when he got hit with the curse and for a whole paragraph i was cursing you until it hit me...it hit me before it hit Ginny, so I'm proud of that much =P anyways, Blaise was HYSTERICAL. I LOVE HIM. Seriously...I know guys with that sense of humor, kinda, and they are just impossible not to love.

THANKYOU. definitely. and I *cannot* wait for the next chapter of Not Quite Fate!!

Slytherin he is, that one. Never would say that stuff unless he *absolutely positively* had to. I love how that came off, and then how Ginny just brushes it aside. I love how you write their interactions, very Beatrice/Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing.
