I've only read half of it, since it's so long, and I don't have time for more now, but I just want to say, I'm in love with it, so far! So well written, so damned sarcastic, love it love it love it. I'll be back to finish the rest ASAP

The Art of Seduction by ExquisiteBeauty    (Reviews - 31)

When Ginny isn't at St. Mungos, she's out hunting wealthy, single wizards... her favorite pastime. However, when one silver-eyed wizard refuses to give in to her irresistible charms (and retaliates with charms of his own), she does everything she can to ensue that she wins the game.

I really liked that first chapter! Very cool stuff, nicely written. I like Ginny's narrative.

I only wish you could have described them physically...I dunno, like, when she first saw Draco again would have been a good moment to note how he had changed from the last time she'd seen him. I'm obsessed with details and descriptions, so maybe it's just me. Either way, excellent job.

I've spent a good part of my morning looking for this fic so I could recommend it to a D/G virgin, and I'm so glad I finally found it! I read it over at the fic exchange a while back, and I'm pleased to note it's as good as I remembered it was. Excellent characterizations! You have the banter, the chemistry and the sexiness that makes for irresistible D/G. Nicely done! ^_^

Leather Bound by Lakaeya    (Reviews - 39)

After losing Harry, Ginny must learn to let go of the past and begin to live again. Before she can be free, she has to let go of a memory from her childhood that is haunting her life. Even with his diary destroyed, he still holds sway over her life and heart, leaving Draco as a pale second to the cruel beauty that is Tom Riddle.

This is written for those who wanted more of my one-shot. Now you can have the tale from the beginning.

I really liked this first chapter. It was a very interesting start. Your style of writing is very rich in description, but doesn't feel loaded with words, as can sometimes happen when you give a lot of details. It's just easy to read.

I empathized with Ginny and enjoyed your description of Draco very much. Nice start. ^_^



Author's Response: Thank you. It is a fine line. I often wonder if I'm tipping over.

Reviewer: rowan_greenleaf Signed

Ah, I'm in love with this story, and with your writing. ^_^

I love how easily you switch from one perspective to the other, and how layered your characters are. Beautifully done.



Author's Response: Haha. I am so glad the switches seem effortless.

Ha! I had a silly little smile on my face, and I didn't even realize it until I stopped reading just now. Loved the interaction between G and D! It's all so superficial though, I can't wait to see what happens when their inner demons start to slip out.

Author's Response: I often have that silly little smile on my face when I'm writing. I'm happy that was translated to you.

Reviewer: rowan_greenleaf Signed
Date: Nov 13, 2008 Title: Chapter 10: The Charm of Bickering

I'm glad they worked it out! It was kind of a stupid fight, anyway, and was easily resolved. I'm enjoying this story tremendously, and I think you've done a great job, but I have one nitpick.

I'm not sure I agree with one aspect of your characterization of Draco, and it's his willingness to commit so quickly. Even for a normal couple those first dates are filled with uncertainty, and people dance around the fact that their starting a relationship. Draco has said "our relationship" several times, and it sounds like he's totally open about wanting something serious, almost naively so. For someone as fiercely independent and enigmatic as Draco, it seems odd that he would be so forthcoming as to surrender to Ginny so easily. You might argue that they both know what they want, but still, Draco would seem to me like the type to be reluctant to put a lable on things so early on. Even if he did want her for something permanent, the relationship would start without him actaully SAYING so several times. I dunno. It's just my perception of things.

But anyway, like I said, it's a wonderful story, and I am enjoying it immensely. ^_^



Author's Response: I would normally agree with you. A normal Draco would flee from a relationship as quickly as he could. This Draco, however, is not the normal. He has lost too much to not take such an opportunity as Ginny offers. If you want the usual, irritatingly-fearful-of-committment Draco, you'll have to wait for another of my fics to make it up here, I'm afraid.

Reviewer: rowan_greenleaf Signed
Date: Nov 13, 2008 Title: Chapter 11: Clinging to Life

Wow, this was an odd chapter. First off, I hate you just a little bit for not letting your faithful readers peep at Draco and Gin's first time together. Not everyone's comfortably writing smut though, I understand that, but with your writing skills I assumed I'd be getting a beautifully written scene. You've documented the nuances of their connection so well, that I feel kind of left out...

Whatever, I don't want to crush you under the weight of my expectations. :)

Stil, what I referred to as odd is this: it seems sort of disconnected from the previous flow of the story, after having been devoted exclusively to focusing on the G and Dness without a mention of Tom Riddle, to suddenly have him come back so strongly.

The flashback of the end of the war, and I assume, Harry's death, also seemed out of place. I understand that you're trying to take the plot in a new direction, or maybe the direction you intended all along, but it just seems kind of abrupt. I think it wouldn't have seemed so if you'd gone back to G and D at the end, in a present time normal scene.

Anyway, I hope you realize I'm being specific in my reviews because I love your story, I'm not trying to be nitpicky and obnoxious!

I think you're a fantastic writer. ^_^

From your chapter notes it seems you're not a regular updater, though, so I guess I'm glad I got to read this far, and can only hope to have a speedy update. ^_^

 



Author's Response: I do appreciate your review, very much in fact, but I ask patience. I am very fond of writing smut, to be blunt, so you will get what you crave. But this shift was necessary here. It'll reconnect, I promise. The abruptness is important to Tom. That will, I hope, become more apparent and understandable in time. I hope my writing is more to your liking in the future.

Reviewer: rowan_greenleaf Signed
Date: Nov 08, 2008 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Ginny leaves

Gah, honestly, I have such mixed feelings about this. It's well written, and the plot is very different from any D/G I've previously read, so I really like that. Also, I like the personalities you've given Draco and Ginny's children, especially the fact that the oldest is like Lucius, and the youngest are twins.

BUT, I just can't reconcile with the fact that Ginny would just leave her kids like that, without saying goodbye, without explaining anything to them, even by owl. Divorce is not something light, and when a family breaks up, it's always the kids that suffer the most. I get that Ginny's trying to teach her husband a lesson, but she's doing it at the expense of her children! She's a HORRIBLE mother, and incredibly selfish! I just can't empathize with a woman like that. I find myself wishing that Draco meets someone else and  forgets about her, and another woman gets to keep her family! I'm so angry at her...

I guess that means you're a good writer, that you got me so riled up,ahaha. But yeah, I hate Ginny. Sorry. :(



Author's Response:

I already received another review which said that the reviewer hated my character's personality but loved the story. I know this is a story about selfishness (on both sides, by the way), a very damaged marriage and to people who've not been good to or for each other in the past. But I wanted to keep them in character. I didn't want the Malfoys to be good and Ginny had to live with this cold family and husband for a long time. I don't want to say what she's done is good, but what I want to say is that it's understandable that she flees from the Manor even from her children, because her children want her back and therefor they are on Draco's side. And she doesn't want to give in this time. So... the children know where their mother is, and they (and Ginny) know that they can come there anytime. Perhaps she just waits if they actually do. Read on and you'll find a lot about them you'll hate. But it's their character ;) (in my fiction)and it works.

LOL, this story is great! It’s so funny and just…clever. It is so Draco to advise Ginny not sell her engagement ring before having it appraised! And Ron’s “Pansy, are you lost?” Heheheheh.

The school uniform fantasy was hilarious, and the phrase “I’m a Malfoy, I’m always in charge, especially when I’m naked” was just priceless.

The ending was harsh, and so well written, I could totally empathize with Ginny’s anger and disappointment, despite the fact that you didn’t actually say she was angry or disappointed.

Nicely done! This was my detailed review of the day, LOL.

LOL. That was pretty cool. I loved the sarcastic banter between them, and the obvious chemistry.I only wish that you would have given more strong indications that after this fifth time things would become emotional between them. It's obvious they're going to try, and it's obvious they'll have more sex (the title implies there's more "times"). But I really don't get a sense that they're going to make it, and it's kind of depressing, cause  I get the feeling they're going to keep using each other, just cause they won't know how to break certain patterns.

That could have been corrected with adding certain scenes, or even a line, that suggested he wanted to just TALK to her, for once, or be in her company without using her body...know what I mean?

Either way, I'm not saying it's not a good fic. Quite the contrary, it's fantastic, and the fact that it made me depressed shows your writing is pretty good. (Really, there IS a compliment in  there!) The setting is certainly a clever one, and I liked especially her relationship with Blaise. I get the feeling that if it doesn't work with Draco, she'll have him to fall back on. 

Nicely done!

It was SO Draco, the wizard disguised as a Muggle! I realized it when I read about his thoughts of being free, on the money he had saved. Mwa hahaha!

This story is very well written, I'm enjoying the D/G. I hate that Lucius is such a beast, because he's one of my favorite characters, and it sucks to see him be so physically cruel to a woman, but I understand that it's necessary for the plot to work.



Author's Response: I do love Lucius. It was actually hard to make him so nasty, as I like the character as well. I usually see him as charismatic and powerful.
Thank you soooo much for the feedback

Hey, that was very nice. Beautiful story! I love the way you wrote Draco. ^_^

My only complaint is that you didn't offer translations for the phrases in French. Fortunately my grade school French got me through those, but I'm sure there are people who were left in the dark, know what I mean? You could insert them in your end notes, or even in the story, with Hermione translating to herself. Just a thought.

Anyway, nice job.



Author's Response: You know, I contemplated putting it there, but I think there should remain a level of mystery for the reader, because DG is as complicated as it gets. :] If anyone wondered, I stated the language was and had the phrase right there - he or she could look it up or ask me. So far, only three persons mentioned it. Thank you for your review! You have authored several of my favorite - ever - DG stories, and your feedback means a lot to me. Update those soon!
