ohhhh man. that was amazing. i loved ginny- she was a ginny i'd never met before, but she was just so real, and so believable, and for once hogwarts didn't seem like some magical boarding school stuck firmly in fanfiction-land, but like an actual school- where you have friends covering for you, where you get roommates to clear out when you need the room.... this was just fantastic.

this is probably my third time reading this story...? I just love Ginny's characterization. And man oh man, that Doug Mientkiewicz trade was SO sad. I don't know if you meant this or not, but the Appleby Arrows bear more than a passing resemblance to my Twinkies! :)

Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m glad it stands up to repeated readings! Yes, I did base the Arrows on the Twins, who are clearly the greatest team in all of baseball. :)

Hm, I don't know whether I liked this so much because it played into my own turn-ons or because it was just plain good... but considering I love everything you write, I think it's the latter :)

side-note: I also loved the little wink you send to us all when you write a story about voyeurism, knowing that we're all greedily reading- or watching, as it were. :)

Red by goddess_of_ether    (Reviews - 128)

When Ginny Weasley made her fashion empire, she and Draco Malfoy broke up under less-than-favorable conditions (a flying cup of hot tea was involved). Now, he's worming his way back into her life and her business, and he's determined to win her heart. Ginny, however, is not risking it again after he broke it once before . . . But when Narcissa Malfoy gets personally involved and decides that a close working relationship for a charity benefit is the best way to get them back together, sparks fly, not all of them potentially lethal.

I ADORE the banter so far. That, and Ginny showing up in funeral attire. I can picture it perfectly. What fun! Off to read the next chapter :)

Author's Response: Well, who doesn\'t love some good D/G banter?

oh, lovely. i was so scared you were going to turn this into an awful songfic to that song, which i don't even really like, but... of course, you didn't! i love the moment you give us, and although this may seem odd, the references to the war really made this piece- it let the reader imagine the past you didn't tell us about.

Think of Me by sheriden    (Reviews - 22)

He didn’t really want his sweater back. He just wanted the sweater-stealer to think of him. If he could get both the sweater and the thief back, and achieve world peace, then that was even better. One-shot.

A little lighter than Firewhisky :) But still dark, and I love the alternate versions of the HP world that you present. I also love that you managed to present a D/G story that seemed believable amidst such a dark world. For some reason, I really, really liked that Draco didn't do anything more heroic beyond a kiss- it simply isn't in his character. And I loved that romance wasn't the main driving force in the fic- Draco had to think about other things, plan other things. And Ginny was the same way. Thanks for a not-Romeo-and-Juliet-all-they-care-about-is-each-other fic!

Author's Response: Thank you for your lovely review! And yes, I agree with you about preferring romance as a subplot instead of the main one.

Firewhisky by sheriden    (Reviews - 16)

The war was more than anyone had expected. Ginny drinks Firewhisky. Draco can’t stand the stuff. Ginny dies. Draco lives. And the war continues. One-shot.

Date: Aug 12, 2008 Title: Chapter 1: Firewhisky

That premise alone (of Muggles turning out to be the real villains) was intriguing and original enough for me to read the entire thing straight through. But I appreciated seeing Ginny in a new shade. I liked (mistakenly?) believing she was an alcoholic for most of the fic, and I loved the nihilistic/totalitarian/bleak end of the fic. What a lovely, apocalyptic way to end a lovely, apocalyptic story.

Author's Response: Thank you for your review! And yes, people were supposed to believe that Ginny was an alcoholic until it was revealed that Firewhisky had no effect on her.

Quaffles and Quarrels by sheriden    (Reviews - 173)

After her shoulder shatters in a painful collision with two Bludgers, star Chaser Ginny Weasley finds herself as a Reserve player on a Quidditch team in crisis. If that wasn’t bad enough, Draco Malfoy invades her flat, Oliver Wood gets on her nerves, and Harry and Hermione are out to get the axe-murderer who’s out to get her. Could her life get any worse? Apparently, it could.

for some reason, this was the FUNNIEST line I had ever read: "the best goat-thieves in Switzerland were usually women"

:D I love this fic. You do light insanity as well as you do dark angst.

Author's Response: Yes, the goat-thieves line was funny as I wrote it, too! Thanks for your review!

Date: Aug 22, 2008 Title: Chapter 1: The Return of the Ferret

So I realized I gave a pretty cop-out review earlier and I really liked a specific part of this chapter I wanted to mention: I love how you show both Ron and Hermione's take on their (quite complicated) relationship and how differently two people can view the exact same events. I also love how I'm completely unsure of how this love-square is leaning; usually authors make it really obvious, and while I'm sure of an eventual D/G, I have no idea about the rest of the characters, which makes for a more fun read.

Author's Response: Thank you for your lovely review!

I believe what I like best about this story is that it's quite ordinary- it's not action-packed, or a mystery, or a drama. But what you do with it is fantastic, and what makes it so great is that you have the fundamentals down so well- the witty dialogue is actually witty, and unlike a lot of other D/G stories, there's this development of their chemistry that I love. And that's quite rare to find in a story, so congratulations, and of course, I'm excited to read the next chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I\'m glad the plot comes off naturally, and that the humour in the dialogue is well-received - I\'ve had a lot of fun writing the dialogue.

I liked the first part of this, especially the idea of Draco as Ginny's silent guardian angel and of she as his unknowing savior. But the ending was a little abrupt? It would have been nice with the set-up to take things a little slower.

Love it! Please keep updating. Even though this plot has been used before, for some reason it seems fresh here.
