COMPLETE! Strolling through Diagon Alley Lucius Malfoy comes across a little boy who could have been Draco's twin. Has his family tree been expanded, without his knowledge? Has Draco been keeping secrets? Or is he oblivious to the fact that he may have an heir?Category: Long and Completed
Loving the piece but kinda shocked at a distinct lack of Luna! I thought for sure she would be around and a perfect attendant. My only critique, this is really a lovely piece.

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
I think you could probably chill. A lot. I feel like several of the things you seem furious about are trivial. How on earth is it *offensive* for an American to write Mom instead of Mum? We aren't idiots, we understand that when someone uses the term Mom that "Oh, they must be American." It doesn't harm the work. And your example of Hermione's profanity: Many of these stories are written in the later years or post-Hogwarts. I think after all the time and effort she put into acclimatization Hermione could swear however she pleases.
Anyway, I feel that if you want people to take your requests seriously, you should be more empathetic and less vicious. You made some excellent points, but honestly all I can think about at the moment is how rude you are. I have read a lot of your fics and I really enjoy them. However, I think that as an author you should be kinder to people who have worried about their pieces as much as you have. Even if their writing is inferior, they are still authors like you and experience the same things you do.
All in all, I do not support your thoughts because the good is counterbalanced by the juvenile and the unrealistic. In the future, please take your role more seriously as people take what you say to heart. I think your use of the word diatribe was perhaps an understatement.
Draco and Pansy like to play games. What happens when a Polyjuice Plan goes wrong?Category: Works in Progress
I have never had another fanfic author make me LAUGH as much as I do in your stories and this has been by far my favorite. I would love an update, unless the poor plot bunny passed away. I love the details put into Ginny's personality and the supporting cast. I thought putting in the woman in the pie shop was lovely and am so happy to see Millicent. Again, it's truly lovely I would love to hear the rest.
It's been ten years since the War, ten years since Ginny died. Draco knows differently, but trying to fix her insanity is breaking his heart. Completed!Category: Works in Progress

She can embrace the darkness, or risk giving up everything.
Written for the Draco/Ginny Summer Fic fest 2021
i am a sucker for Tom still caring about Gin in his own creeptastic ways and the kronos parallels are spicy!!! amazing work given it’s your first fanfic, so interested in seeing what that clever brain comes up with as your writing style progresses.
in hopes of helping your writer’s inspiration: i would love to have more detail about the ancient magicks Tom is invoking here (obviously more nuanced than “foolish wand-waving & silly incantations”) and their origins. i think it would also round out your characters to have flashbacks or other snippets detailing exactly how the darkness within ginny affected her during her school years. what exactly was going through her mind as she looked in the mirror? what became of the Healers’ predictions that she would attract Dark magic? what will be the final straw that forces Draco to realize the influence of darkness in his life is incomparable to her own? there is so much about your characters that is left to the imagination, i’d love to see what your imagination could come up with.
all in all, a lovely fic with fascinating themes that I feel you could readily expand on if you felt so inclined. i would be interested in reading this again, rewritten with more complexities & details, to be twice as long or longer! there are many themes you touched on that i would welcome you to really dig into. the more detail, the more the story envelops the reader.
thank you for sharing and welcome to the archive! looking forward to the sequel already.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! I am definitely a sucker for creepy Tom Riddle... I just love it when he is thrown into the mix! Also I just really wish the relationship between him and Ginny was explored more in canon because I find the whole situation fascinating. I think a lot of your questions and insights will be addressed in the sequel... though some themes I have only scratched the surface on and have been intentionally vague. The story originally wasn't intended to include a sequel but due to the time constraints of the fic fest I really wanted to give the upcoming content and plot points the attention they deserved. I'm actually much more satisfied with the sequel so far and it has been very fun to write! Cheers!
