I draw comics and manga, I write. I maybe won't write a fanfic the same second, but just wait and I'll do something good... I'm really bad at this stuff. (writing things about myself, I mean) I'm a future journalist, I live with two best friends (that can't stand each other)... and that would be it. Quiet boring, huh?

A Trying Breath by Ephemere    (Reviews - 131)

A horrifying experience has been pushed aside, and people try to get on with their normal lives. But that experience soon turns into distant memories. Distant memories soon turn into haunting nightmares. When nightmares turn into reality, what can a certain group of Hogwarts students do to keep a certain redhead from slipping away? D/G story you've never quite seen before. Contains trips to the library, snogging, unexpected romance, and dreaming Gryffindors.

I *love* the fic, and the ending is just *brilliant* and you are absolutely *great* and... I'm waiting for *months* for the next chapter to come out and the cliffhanger's driving me insane!

You're great, you know that? And I love your story. A lot. PLEASE post more soon, pleasepleaseplease... It's so cool, you know, it's so real: it has all the reality and angst that it takes but it's still so sweet and cool - you know, a teenage romance.
And I sooo wish I was Ginny.

Keep up the good work!

Author's Response: HA HA HA1 Well thanks for thinking I\'m wonderful. You are confused! ;) Yes, there is one more chapter and I have been promising it forever, but as soon as my exchange fic is done I will commence tying this one, so I can start fresh and write somehting new! ;) Thanks for reading and reviewing! ;)

That was wonderful. Definitely worth the wait. I was in need of some fluff for ages, so thanks!
There's an epilogue? Can't wait!

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review. I\'m glad it didn\'t disappoint! ;)

Not Quite Fate by Hearts Cadence    (Reviews - 933)

*COMPLETE* Destiny knew better than to bring these two together. One man, determined to draw back an errant Malfoy, is not so wise, and Ginny soon finds herself caught up in events that are not quite Fate.

That is the best fanfic that I ever read. And that's a big compliment from a person that criticises everything she sees - from herself, to the weather outside. I really, really, really like it. Please post more soon, I can't wait to see what's gonna happen. And how many chapters are there?

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the compliments, and I\'ll try as hard as I can to get out an update. Things are just crazy beyond belief right now. As to how many chapters, I have absolutely no idea. I write as I post, and outlining that extensively hinders my writing more than helps, so your guess is as good as mine, really.

Ha,ha,ha! a *girl* Draco! You are just brilliant, you know that? Oh, *please* write more Draco's POV, I'm sure it'll be really interesting to see how he feels about the whole being a girl thing. Oh, and by the way, where are all the Weasley brothers and is one of them going to hit on Draco, cause that would be a blast? And what if Molly sees the real "Lizzy" in Diagon Alley or whatever and runs to her to greet her and the girl says she doesn't know her at all?
Anyway, GREAT chapter!

Date: Mar 29, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Things Change, Life Goes On

I LOVED this chapter. I doubted that she works for Lucius all along, but I guess I'm sure now. I can't believe she has a son...
as for the D/G part, I loved the way you made Draco admit all those things to her, the kiss was absolutely brilliant, even thought Ginny chickened in the end.
It's a great chapter, but about Draco hiding in the Shrieking Shack... (I can't imagine what will that do to their relationship)... er, where was I again?
Ah, right, well, you already made Draco hiding in the Shack in Misconceptions, so is going to be something similar like then or something totally different?

Loved the chapter, still think it's the best fic I ever read

Author's Response: Firstly - THANK YOU! Secondly - No, no, no lol. It\'s not the shrieking shack at all. Back...ummm, geez I don\'t even remember what chapter. I THINK it was when Draco first overheard Pansy\'s plot to kidnap Ginny. ANYHOW, in whatever chapter around that time, Draco takes Ginny to this abandoned house in the outskirts of Hogsmeade. Not literally a shack. That\'s what I was referring to. I\'ll have to make a note of that in case other people are confused...

Great chapter.
I can bet that the bracelet will show it's "special properties" 'till the end of the fic.
Also, guys, you can't blame McGonagall for being harsh, because Draco helped Dumbledore's death. As far as she's concerned, he's a Death Eater.
Ohh, when are Draco and Ginny finally going to hook up? I really hoped it's gonna be this one.
And Pierce's in trouble again. Did Naomi really escape or did Snape lied to him? Poor Ben, trapped at Lucius's...
Anyway, great chapter

The chapter was really great. Really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, great.
You didn't go overboard with fluff at all, I thought it was really great. I really liked the Pansy scene, the way Ginny provoked her and all. As for Nott, I don't think he'll turn out to be evil. Can you please write more about him next chapter, because I really want to know why is he stocking Ginny.
Oh, and btw, what happened with Pierce? I mean, he didn't just sit in his office grading homeworks and doing nothing, didn't he? He has to do something about the whole situation he's in.
Anyway, great chapter.

Date: Apr 29, 2007 Title: Chapter 28: A...Slight Complication

Wait... you made a whole story out of that one scene? Wow! Anyway, great chapter, as always... can't wait for Harry to find out she's with Draco... *evil laugh* if she hooks up with Draco until that point at all...
Now I want to know what's going on with Nott even more...

Reviewer: Aalyah Signed

Just when I hoped that everything's going to be fine (at least for a while) McG comes and... wham! Another trouble! Amazing what you Draco with Pierce on the begining, and I love how Draco never *wanted* to kill Pierce, but still did, though you *must* update soon for us to see what's going on with Naomi (you make the best OCs I've ever read!)
This is still one of the best fics I've read, like I said after chapter 8

Reviewer: Aalyah Signed
Date: Jun 07, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Things Change, Life Goes On

I love this chapter! The Harry/Ginny breakup scene is just *perfect*. And *please* write more about Theodore and Draco... they're both absolutely great in this fic...
And I'm kind of sad it will end soon because this fic is the first D/G fic I've ever read (thanks to arabela, who recommended it to me) and it totally dragged me in and I became an obsessive D/G shipper. Like someone said before, "bittersweet"

Shall Rise Again by Peki    (Reviews - 292)

Sequel to Break in the sun (till the sun breaks down). For a few blissful hours, the differences between them did not matter. But as Draco and Ginny struggle with their budding relationship, they must soon discover that many things separate them still - family, friends and society as well as their own explosive tempers. The future they want for themselves comes at a price, and reconciling what they each want out of life is a challenge that might just break them apart...

Well, I read this chapter long time a go, but couldn't find enough time to review, so here you go...
It. Is. Absolutely. Great.
Honestly, I think that you're the *only* fanfic author I ever met that doesn't write Lucius as a sadistic psychopat that Crucio's his son and/or his wife on daily basis, and/or Narcissa as a cold blooded bitch who married him only for the money, or because he cursed her, or because she loves him and he beats the crap out of her.
It's nice that someone understands that Draco won't just give up everything he grew up to believe and turn out to hate his parents and posibly kill one or both of them just because he found his True Love. Same goes for Dark!Ginny. They both care bout their families too much for that.
Or maybe I just don't read enough fanfiction...
Hermione's back! Yay!
However, you're great and keep on the good work!

I think this is one of my favorite chapters so far. For a moment I just thought that you'll kill off Draco and finish the fic but thanks God there's more! I can't wait the next chapter!

I can just empathize with them all, horrible... their fates, I mean, not your writing. Your writing is wonderful.

I finally read the companion fic! I looked for it, but I couldn't find it, and it's just BRILLIANT. Which means something, seeing that I usually hate fluff.
