A response to a mailing list on why D/G led to a long, rambling essay which I'm posting here.Category: Essays
Of course it made sence! I'd never really thought about why I ship Draco/Ginny, except that they seem to have mutual respect for eachother, which is pretty rare in HP.
Nice essay. It's not realy fair though, you just did all of the things my [pain in the...somewhere] English teacher never lets me do. Like talk to the audiance, and be somewhat rude about it. I envy you.
Author's Response: Well, when you\'re writing you have to think about your audience. I would never turn in something like this in an academic setting, for the very reasons you state. Since I was talking in general terms within fandom, though, the familiarity of direct address was permissible.
A Vesica/Mynuet Collaboration. If Ginny had even the slightest inkling of what the day would bring, she probably would have called in sick. A disastrous press conference proved to be no match for the spin doctoring talents of Lush's chief and Ginny finds herself catapulted from being a lowly intern to the very eye of the storm, living a double life as a careerwitch and glamorous front woman for a racy new line. Throw in a few A-list events, a few dozen crises, an endless promotional tour with her new co-worker and the last person she wanted to spend time with, and a mystery waiting back home that neither of them may be able to solve….Every day's an adventure when you're living the Lush Life!Category: Works in Progress
Thank you for posting! I'm so sorry readers have been bothering you. Please don't let a few idiots reflect badly upon the lot of us.
Author's Response: Ves and Myn Say: We would never judge the many based on the bad behavior of the few.

A smallish vent about the insensitivities of the occasional fanfiction reader and the abuses of the authors at their mercy.Category: Essays
I agree with you completely. And I am very sorry if every I have written a review that has hurt you- I didn't mean it, and was probably in a horrible mood for reasons completely unrelated to you.
And just so you know, me and my almost OCD (but not actually very good) grammar fraud detecting eyes see nothing at all wrong in your essay.

After reading this chapter I thought I should mantion that my math intructor has a picture of a pumpkin with a pi symbol on it taped to her white board. She is a very strange instructor. We get two essays a semester and we have state [almost] all answers in complete setances. And I think I just spelled that world wrong.
Anyways, your story made me laugh, which is why I'm commenting. I like it.
"Baby, picture you as a substrate and me as an enzyme. Want to test the lock and key model? I'll be back tomorrow."
Ah, the devine memories of nineth grade bio...
I'm actually rather embarased to admit that that analogy never occured to me. Well, you learn something new everyday, right?
:-D
Ginny Weasley is sent to stay with her grandparents until the war ends, as her parents want to keep her out of harm's way. Her grandparents have another guest, another person in hiding, and a relationship quickly blossoms between them. However, with the war and so many secrets around them, Ginny isn't sure how to make it work. Fluffy occasionally, but things can't always be perfect, can they? Decisions have to be made and consequences dealt with.Category: Works in ProgressFor a fleeting moment, she imagined that they would never hear from their families again, that they would remain together in Tuscany until they were old and gray, with great-grandchildren. Much to her surprise, the thought didn’t make her as sad as she thought it should.
I just wrote a really long review, but it didn't submit. Basically, I love your attention to details such as condoms and age. I also like that you raise interesting concepts in the story - consent, commitment, a woman's esteem when she is dependent on her man for money, to name a few. Keep writing, and please update soon!
Author's Response: aw sorry about that! i hate it when that happens :( thank you for your kind review, however. i do get a kick out of putting as many themes, issues, etc as i can into these stories. thanks for noticing :)
Draco and Ginny get locked into the Malfoy vault when a Goblin has an unfortunate accident. How on earth are they going to pass the time until they are rescued...? One-shot, PWP Smutty goodness. Oh, and there is a teeny, tiny, insignificant HBP spoiler. But the only way you'd recognise it is to have read HBP. So I doubt it really counts.Category: Completed Short Stories
Thank you for writing.
Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy have always been enemies. What will happen when they end up in a place where no one knows of their family rivalry?Category: Long and Completed
I just had to stop in and tell you that I think that The Wheel of Time is amazing, and to applaud you're taste in literature.
Author's Response: Why, thank you. I try ;)
"So, we set to work trying to turn you evil."
This sentence makes me cringe. Obviously Draco doesn't think what he is doing is evil.
And good and evil are entirely subjective.
I also don't like it when authors include entire song lyrics in their stories. I don't know if you wrote the song or not but... songs are only good when you hear them. I don't need a detailed description of every word Ginny sang to get the point.
I also thought it was a bit out of character for her to burst into song in the middle of the common room. I'm a singer, but even I wouldn't sing and dance on command just because Narccisa Malfoy asked me too. If you want to kept the scene if might help to make Ginny look a bit more nervous or to have her sing sitting down, and without a spotlight.
I don't entirely like the "lets make Ginny amazingly hot" aspect of her identity change, but I suppose its your prerogative if you want to leave it in.
Author's Response: ...yeah.
There are three things that truly matter to Lucius Malfoy: his family, his wealth and his blood. So of course, it was of utmost importance that his son marry a pureblood. Thus Lucius begins to arrange the perfect bride for his son. She must have both beauty and brains. She must be skillful with a wand, but with the elegance to know when to use it. When it comes down to it there is really only one woman that matches the criterion, but she comes with one problem: She’s a Weasley.Category: Long and Completed

I must ask, is Ginny pregnant with child number one? Beucase that would be a deliciously magical turn of events and it would explain the dreama nd everythign...
Author's Response: Haha No, Gin\'s not pregnant... At the moment anyway...
Ginny catches Harry with another woman. What will she do for revenge?Category: Works in Progress
Ooooh! This chapter has all of my favorite things. Necking, ballroom dancing, emeralds, and Armand. Is there any possiblility of a connection between your Armand and the Armand Anne Rice wrote?
I've taken ballroom dancing classes (I don't know how much you know about ballroom dances), please let me know if you need any help writing the dances. I don't think what you wrote is bad or anything (in fact, I love it!), I just want to encorage you to write more.
But don't stop now, some might say that 13 is an unlucky number....
Eh. I don't belive them.
Author's Response: My only referance for the name Armand is the Ann Rice novels. I always liked that name, and I thought I\'d plug it in here. I will be updating as soon as I get the next chapter back from the beta. Thanks for the review.
Draco, Ginny and a bet which will lead them further than they thought...Category: Works in Progress
Ohhh, clifhanger.
I like your story, but I think Ginny is acting a bit ooc. She's not half as helpless as everyone seems to think she is. I don't know as much about Draco's charicter, so I can't really comment on his behaivor.
One thing though, about the bet...
Draco's already said Ginnys name (when he made the bet!) So technicly, he's already lost.
Author's Response: Well he said it just to say, \"I\'m sure you will say Draco before I say Ginevra.\"
I know that Ginny usually has much more temper but I wanted her very frail because of the trio\'s behaviour. She\'s all alone now, there is not even Neville or Luna for her! But don\'t worry, she will recover confronted to Draco....well a little bit beacause we all know that Draco is an excellent seducer ;)
Thansk for your comments!

It's nice and I like it but.. is it finished?
I'd like to know where Draco was for four years, and how he returned. I'm also a tad disappointed not to see some big, relived Draco/Ginny kiss or some family-wide dog pile caused by hugging each other so hard that everyone falls over.
I don't know, maybe that's unrealistic, but it seemed like the ending was kind of anti-climatic.
Even if he only got a glimpse of her flame-coloured hair around a corner, it was enough. Enough to keep him breathing. Alive.Category: Works in Progress
Disclaimer: Harry Potter and all of the characters in his world are the property of J.K. Rowling and multiple movie companies and publishing houses. They get all of the money, I only get the pleasure of *breathy sigh* using Draco.
I really like this story. I like the way you've incorporated book six and they way you've portrayed Draco's and Ginny's charicter. Do try and post chapter 16 soon?
Author's Response: I\'ll do what I can.

I like you're writing a lot- I've completely devoured Leave Me Here To Bleed.
That is, if you are indeed the same RaineMalfoy who wrote Leave Me Here To Bleed...
Anyways, I have no criticism for you're writing in this story. It's just...so sad! How can any society be so unforgiving? Well, no, I understand the lack of forgiveness. I just hate to see my favorite characters in such misery.
Author's Response: hahaha! i have a follower!
yes, this is the same RaineMalfoy. LMHtB was my first attempt at a fanfiction, but that didn\'t work out too well because i was adapting a story i had already written INTO a fanfic. yeah, that didn\'t work out like I’d planed, so that story is just back to being mine again. XD
It on fictionpress though. :) along with the sequel. :D
I had enjoyed reading HP FanFics some three years ago or so, so I started that up again, and I couldn’t resist writing one myself. You know I write angst if you read LMHtB. :)
yeah, in my opinion and how I see things, people would be less forgiving after the second war. They forgave after the first, and all who they forgave became Death Eaters again and all that, so I can see people, like, being REALLY nasty now, once bitten twice shy, you know? (no werewolf pun intended there. hehehe)
Draco is my favorite Character too. :)

...someone...told you that you are going to hell for writing this story?
Eh. Don't worry. Hell is where the party is.
But I do like your writing, so thank you for risking the "fires of hell" and whatnot.
Author's Response: Apparently, people don't approve of storiese where people in highschool have sex. I think the whole world knows it is going on, but they ignore it. I was thinking about going back and putting in an author's note saying they were all in college now just to appease.

I like your writing, but I feel that you are severely underestimating human self control. People don't magically fly into sex-frenzies and loose their minds.
(And this charm, by the way, does it even exist? I'm guessing no one really tests it...)
Poor Harry. Beat up twice because he doesn't have the sense to actually end a relationship before lending out his lips.
