23 JULY 2013 - I am very sad to say that I have pulled Prove You Wrong and I will not be finishing it, unfortunately. My writing has improved vastly in the 16 months since I've updated it, and I just cannot get back into the story in order to make it workable for my current writing style and ability. Sorry to those who had favorited/followed/reviewed that story, but it is just no longer something I care to devote my time to! However, in happier news, now that Pretend is nearly completed, I am happy to say that I have a few new stories in mind and that my writing will continue despite my recent lapse in activity.

One of these days, I am going to read every single thing you've ever written.

Well, it'll probably take a little more than a day, but I promise I will. Your stories are all so fascinating, and I keep meaning to read them all, but then I get distracted with silly little things like school and raising a four-year-old... you know ;).

Author's Response: Oh... thanks! :) Yes, life does tend to get in the way of fanfic... so annoying how it does that. ;) But anyway. There's much more coming up in the next chapter, including suggestions on which fics to read if you want the shorter ones, and particularly if you want to know which ones have been finished.

Reviewer: cherryredxx Signed
Date: Jun 05, 2012 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2

I completely understand wanting to do some original works, but I'd hate to see you leave the fandom altogether! I feel the same way about leaving fics unfinished! Some of your longer fics I will definitely read in the near future, but I might hold off until they're completed if I can! :)

Author's Response: Well, if I'm crazy enough to still be in the fandom NOW, who knows if I'll ever leave. :P But yes, I'm finally at the point where I want to write original fics again, too. Fanfic has truly left its mark... one I'm working on is a mystery told from the POV of Sherlock Holmes's cousin, Honoria. She has a LOT in common with some of my Ginnys, and her love interest, a lord's son turned criminal, is definitely part Draco. So I think that readers who like my other fics would enjoy it. :) Anyway, more coming soon!

This was a very sad and beautiful piece. It was strange for me to see Draco and Ginny both so frail and weak, as I generally view them both as very strong characters, but I completely understand why they are being portrayed this way. I love when people look at the after effects of war because, with all of the death and destruction, it isn't realistic to jump right into a happily ever after. Great job! :)

Author's Response: Thank you for your review! =)

The Man Who Ripped Apart the World by Emeral_eyes    (Reviews - 26)

He was supposed to be their hero. He was supposed to bring about the new era of harmony and peace in their world. But when the revolution came, and the tenuous peace he’d worked hard to earn - for all of them - dissipated like smoke. He was supposed to be their hero. But he was only a man. A man who betrayed them all. A man who ripped apart the world.

Anyway, another wonderful chapter. Update very soon please!

Author's Response: Thanks! The only thing I'll say about the fate of the other members of the Weasley family is that Malfoy means it when he says he's going to collect the whole set.

I think if I had been Ginny in that situation, I would have been thoroughly embarrassed, haha. I'm still very curious to see where you're going with this, and I do hope you update again soon! By the way, do you know how long you're planning to make this story? ...just curious! :)

Author's Response: Haha, I think she was a bit embarrassed but mostly flattered, especially after being so cruelly chucked aside by Harry. It's nice to know and does a little boost to the ego to know that you're still desired after something like that. To be honest, I have a vague idea of what needs to be in the story as I see it in my head but it has kind of exploded from a short chaptered fic to something else. I do know it will be a finished story and it won't take years to write. Thanks for your review!

Very cute story. I loved the little note he wrote her to accompany the flowers ;).

Author's Response: Thank you! It took a while to get the right Draco-esque tone. I'm still not satisfied with this chapter but at least the story is brought up-to-date now so it won't be doing too much fast forwarding. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for reviewing.

Sketches by pardonthelitany    (Reviews - 16)

There is pride and there is love. Ginny always thought that the two couldn't exist together, but to be in love really means to have something to be proud of. Before she was always watching, searching for a perfection that was worth putting on to paper, but after the war ends and a strange run in with Narcissa Malfoy, she is forced to reevaluate everything around her. Life is messy, time is an impassive judge, and love changes all but that.

Author's Response: Thanks so much!! The story is actually already complete, so you should see the next chapter tomorrow (hopefully). There are only four — but I think it rounds out right around thirty thousand words, so you won't have to wait too long at all. :D

I cheated and read ahead on your LJ. :P This was such a cuute story, and I really hope you write more! The HP fandom needs way more DG.

Author's Response: Haha. It's hardly cheating. The standards for grammar and the like are really high on the archive (which is fantastic) but it takes me a while to get everything in tip top shape for posting. The one on my livejournal has already been edited for plot stuff — the only thing this one will have over that one is a more strenuous attention to detail. Either way though- I really appreciate both of your comments — it was super sweet of you to take the time. Thanks for reading! xx Jen

People Change, the Past Remains by Rowan Salazar    (Reviews - 2)

Years before their Hogwarts education, Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley considered one another best friends. However, Ginny made a mistake that forced them to separate on the worst of terms. From then on, Draco believed Ginny was a wretched girl who couldn't be trusted. After an unforgettable encounter on the Hogwarts Express, Ginny and Draco developed an instant relationship of hatred and animosity that lasted the next three years at Hogwarts. Those years involved nothing but conflicts between the two. But, during Ginny's fourth year and Draco's fifth, grades became a huge factor in both of their lives. They will be forced to accept each other's help in their studies to appease their respective parents. During this year, they end up developing something similar to a friendship that turns into something more confusing and intense than either of them had expected. The next year, however, will bring only further pain and suffering when Tom Riddle enters the picture. And he's not just after Draco. He's pursuing Ginny, too.

I think this was a pretty promising beginning, but I think it's pretty unbelievable that a five year old girl could spend the night in a forest without her parents looking for her. But, suspending disbelief, I will continue reading what you post. :)

Author's Response: I find that quite unbelievable, too. Trust me, the next chapter reveals that they were looking for her, and Molly was beside herself with worry. And Ginny is actually seven in this part, not five (that's cleared up in the next chapter, too). Hope you enjoy the rest of the story, and thanks for the review! ~Rowan

The Disappearance by Anise    (Reviews - 80)

The Very End.

Epilogue Quote of the Day:

He struggled to prop himself up on an elbow. “Lovegood—Luna-- do you remember being… I really don't have the least idea how to explain this… somewhere else?”

“Somewhere that looked like King’s Cross Station?” asked Luna.

“Yes!” Draco tried to sit up all the way and failed, flopping back down onto the bed.

A thoughtful look came over her face. “I think that I do, but I don’t believe that anyone else does. Maybe it’s better that way.”

“Probably. Look, uh… where’s Ginny?”

“She’s not ready to see you just yet,” said Luna. ”Here’s a napkin.”

“I don’t care about a napkin! Where’s Ginny?”

I really thought this idea was genius. It makes sense; the universe is all give and take, and Harry did take when he chose to remain alive. It's only logical that something would happen as a result. This was just a brilliant story, and I cannot wait until the epilogue! Hopefully you'll get a chance to post it soon ;).

This is so intriguing, Anise! I love the connection to them getting closer causing the world to disappear. It feels very symbolic, and it's so very interesting. I love that by the time they were done having sex, the whole world was gone around them. I am very curious to see what's going to happen next and how Harry is going to tie into it. I'm guessing there is something different about Harry because his disappearance was different because people still remembered him. Can't wait for more! :)

Author's Response: Thanks! :) Yes, there's something different about Harry here, which just MIGHT be a clue. I'm really interested to see what everyone thinks of the final reveal-- there are two chapters left, and then an epilogue. So we'll find out EVERYTHING very soon. Well, almost everything.

Anyway, I'm quite interested in this, and I love the style of your writing. You had me from the first paragraph. You've got just enough of a trace of humor while still keeping the atmosphere a little bit tense. I knew /something/ was going to wrong at some point. This was just wonderful. Do update soon, all right?

Author's Response: I definitely do not plan to be more than three weeks at a time with updates, that's for sure.

The Girl With the Taxi Driver by Anise    (Reviews - 49)

The war is over, and so is Draco Malfoy's world. He has run as far as he can, and now, as a taxi driver in a world that has no more magic, he has come to the end of the line... or so he thinks. But when he finds the former Ginny Weasley, he learns just how many mysteries remain to be solved... and how much hope can still be found.

Chapter SEVEN quote of the day:

At three in the morning, Draco turns off the sign on top of his cab and pulls into the parking lot of the pancake house. He sees her small figure tucked into a seat in the corner table. It sends a pang of something like fear through him when he gets an inkling of just how happy he is to see her.

Ginny slides into a molded plastic seat. “I’m hungry. Want to split some pancakes?”

She eats ravenously when they arrive, tearing apart the pats of butter in their foil wrapping, ripping the cover off the sealed plastic pouches of syrup. “I shouldn’t have coffee this late. I’ll never get to sleep. I never do before five or six anyway, so I guess it doesn’t matter.”

This casual Ginny. Flippant. She does not want him to feel sorry for her. She will not accept his pity. He admires her. He wonders just how many Ginnys there are. He wants to meet them all. That scares him, too.
