I'm a 29 year old lass from Calamba City, Philippines... and I've been a D/G shipper ever since i read MochaButterfly's Wrongfully Accused fic in 2001... and have never left the fandom since then!

Mostly I do beta-reading jobs for such authors like MochaButterfly, Reiko Naoi, where_is_truth, burgos damasco and singtoangels just to name a few... and have written 2 D/G fics at the moment (one of them is still a WIP w/c i will eventually continue very soon!) but nowadays I'm more into reading LJ D/G fics from annibug, Mynuet and Rainpuddle13 (w/c are awesome writers too!)...

My other D/G ships all include Ginny in them -- Oliver/Ginny, Remus/Ginny, & Colin/Ginny! Hehehe... she is my fave female HP character?!?!

I'm also a huge X-Files, Ally Mcbeal, One Tree Hill, Alias, Gilmore Girls, The Amazing Race, and Smallville fan! My other passion in life is Japanese animation... and my fave D/G fanarts are mostly Japanese-inspired in nature -- so if you know any sites that cater to this... PLS EMAIL ME A LINK ASAP!!!

Vineyard Summer by jessica k malfoy    (Reviews - 387)

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.

For 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.

Wow! I knew we discussed a few plot details but I didn't expect you'd pull that "proposal" rabbit out of your hat so soon! Now I'm definitely intrigued as to where the next chapter is going to be.

You're a brilliant writer, my dear! Being your beta is just an absolute thrill ride for me! :D

Author's Response: because of where the next chapter is going, i realized that it was going to have to be put in there sooner than i expected! i am working on the next chapter, so you'll be getting it soon. ish. :D

first off, good luck on your Lumos presentation! You have a voice that needs to be heard, so don't ever let those threat get in your way. I'll be praying for your safety!

as for your fic, I love how you give each character a moment to shine -- whether it be Harry's "destructive" urge to end the war at all cost, to Crabbe's loyalty to do what's fair and just. I admit that I feel extremely sorry for Ginny's predicament, but I guess it was her destiny to be a "pawn" of sorts. I have this feeling that once the ceremony is done, she would never look at Harry the same way ever again!

I'll eagerly await your next update!

One of the best things I love about your work -- is that you completely surprise -- and amaze me -- everytime I read a chapter from you. You're definitely one of the real writing gems of the HP fandom -- and I'm thrilled that you're a D/G shipper!

As for this story, I'm still curious as to what "sin" Harry's committed besides the ones we already know from previous chapters! I can't wait to read how Draco & Ginny (when will these two ever get together!??!)'s reactions to this revelation! Your Harry, is definitely one of the best I've read! Can't wait for the next update!

What is this damn secret that Ginny has over Draco? Does it have anything to do with the tree (yes, I'm obsessed with that bit of knowledge!)? And why is Snape involved in all of this?! *sighs* The next chapter should come very soon or else my plotbunnies will try to murder me in my sleep...

I hope I'm not too late with the whole plotbunny suggestion -- but in my head, I always picture the epilogue with Draco and Ginny in St Topaz, lying in bed sleeping after a night of blissful romance, the morning sun illuminating their room...

And if it would a tragic end, a graveyard scene of your choice would be such a sad irony to their romance...

*bows down to Neil Gaiman* Thank God I had the pleasure of getting a hug and an autograph when he visited Manila last year -- best moment of my life! *beams*

As for the D/G, there are each other's savior -- and damnation! I think that's why their love is so intense. I'm still curious as to what's the connection between the tree in this plot... or is it some bizarre metaphor that I haven't figured out yet...

I love the whole Draco & Crabbe conversation... simple yet there's something poetic about it as well... and the dream sequence is so endearing... one of your best chapters yet -- though the whole Bella/Snurk is quite disturbing!

Now I'm completely confused!??! What the hell does Ginny want from Draco? One minute she disses him, next thing you know she's trying to give solace to him?!?! What gives?!?!? And the tree is like the answer to what great mystery?!? I don't get it?!?!

Girl, reading and analyzing this fic is enough to give me a huge migraine?!?! Either Ginny's gone batty or there's too much sexual tension going on between these two that it's driving them both insane!??! *tired sigh*

I need some sleep after reading this chapter...

I know this might sound completely insane but I sort of "knew" Ginny was eventually gonna visit him in Azkaban. I guess my crazy little plotbunnies got lucky. *blushes*

Also, I have a nasty habit of giving "theme songs" to all the D/G fics I read, and for this one I would have to say Utada Hikaru's Final Distance perfectly describes D/G's romance and longing to be together no matter what... just wanted to share that to you! I can't wait to read the next chapter! thanks for the read! *hugs*

Date: Feb 02, 2006 Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 25

Based on Draco's predicament, it seems that Ginny's love is now the "missing link" to his soul. What concerns me though is the whereabouts of Ginny, and why she has to find from everybody else? Is Harry still a "threat" to their relationship? And what's Ron's role in all of this? I'm thoroughly intrigued...

Great performance from Bella though! I just love to read a truly evil character, and you certainly gave her justice on that part!

I can't wait to see what happens next... and more D/G funny anecdotes pls?! :D

First off, my apologies for missing out on giving reviews to the preview chapters -- but I hope to make up for lost time! :)

Harry is indeed a prat in his own way, and even in canon it's pretty much evident as well -- but then again he's the lead in the books so JKR really can't make him THAT bad... as for the whole D/G thing going on, I still think that tragedy is upon them. The kiss though was indeed endearing though -- kinda reminds of me a scene from the movie "Ghost"! *I'm that cheesy!* I can't wait to read what happens next... or check your LJ for some updates! :D

One thing I admire about you is that your D/G fics are always going to be complicated and uniquely different from the rest -- and this one is no exemption! I'm still curious as to how the hell Draco's gonna get himself out of this mess -- or would death be his only option? As for Ginny... she will forever be haunted by Draco's love.

I will wait anxiously for the next chapter! :)

Reviewer: VioletJersey Signed
Date: Sep 22, 2006 Title: Chapter 63: Chapter 63

I always believed that the only reason why I became a D/G shipper is because I'm a huge Ron fan, and only in this ship will he truly shine on his own -- and your fic definitely proves that! Your Ron is by far one of the most beautifully-written characterizations I've read -- and trust me, I've been reading them for almost 6 years now! It's refreshing to read him having the same canon traits with a little bit of fanon flare! I love that he's still a stubborn arse, but with a charm and sensibility that I wish JKR would explore in the last book... but alas, that's why fanfic is indeed a blessing!

As for D/G -- I pray that after reading Draco's lack of "physical desire" towards Ginny, my dreams of some "lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking" smutty romance would still come up pretty soon! *crosses fingers* PLS! My plotbunnies are trying to murder me with all sort of naughty bits! :D

The Hidden Doorway by kjcp    (Reviews - 201)

Ginny, Harry, and Draco have been leading separate lives for years, but then a disturbing case involving mind manipulation brings them all together. Rows break out, animosity and hatred grow, people die, and friendship is tested. In the midst of all that, is it possible for romance between two unlikely people to bloom?

Call me an insane psychic, but I sort of "knew" that the only way these two would ever end up shagging each other's brains out was 1) letting Draco spend the night at her place because Harry's needed something to do; and 2) Ginny being provoked over something that happened being Draco & Helena... I kinda imagined a different scenario but yours was way cooler! Love the whole sex talk (best D/G foreplay I've read in ages!). Now I can't wait to read what's going to happen next... as well as the morning after (hmm... I wonder if Harry's going to make an appearance?!) Thanks so much!

Call me an insane psychic but I sort of "knew" that the only way these two would end up shagging their brains' off would be 1) Draco spending the night at her place because he's driving Harry insane; or 2) Ginny being provoked by what happened between Draco & Helena, thus getting rid of all her pent-up sexual frustrations! I actually imagined Ginny making the first move (kinda like pushing Draco by the sofa and snogging him senseless) but all that sex talk was definitely the best D/G foreplay I've read in ages! I definitely can't wait what happens the morning after (hmm, I wonder if Harry will make a surprise appearance?)! Will wait patiently for the next update!

Author's Response: Haha - well, in my head and Ronda\'s head (my co-writer), we didn\'t think Ginny would make the first move. Not their very first time at least. No, we liked it this way. And the foreplay SHOULD be hot. I wanted it to be dragged out just enough that the readers are thinking, \"Ohh God, I need more!\"

Date: Jul 26, 2006 Title: Chapter 7: The Real Story

wow! I could use a cold shower right about now after reading that piece! *wipes the sweat off her forehead* It was definitely worth the wait! It's also interesting to read about Draco's "crime" and how his actions made us see a different side of him that Ginny and co. have yet to see. I can't wait to read the whole "morning after" conversations these two will be having -- and another "round" ain't too much to ask from you guys, right? *winks* Keep up the great work!

PS: Is it just me or I noticed that Ginny is wearing a shirt & skirt outfit on this chapter, when it was stated on the previous one that she was already in her jammies?

I'll Wait for You in Eden's Gates by taleweaver    (Reviews - 76)

This is the story that was never told. Buried for centuries beneath the sands of time, the lives of the bravest knight of England and the fiery daughter of an Irish lord were erased from the pages of history. Finally their tale, the shared immortal promise of a love so enduring that it could break the boundaries of time, can finally be told. This is their story.

Definitely one of the most original D/G plots out there... although it seems that you based this one on the legend of Tristan & Isolde. If I'm wrong, then my apologies for stating it. I do love your fic and will eagerly await your next chapter. Keep up the good work! :)

Author's Response: it might not be that original cos it seems judith mcnaught has a book with the beginning like this one (serenity_dracoginny just brought it to my attention in the reviews for ch 2). :) i learned how to respond to reviews individually just now (thanks to CharmedLife19!) hence the reply to your other comment is on ch 2. :) thanks so much for reading and reviewing! :D

Girl, you have just made one of my all-time D/G fantasies come true! I've always imagined Ginny as a sort of Selina Kyle meets LuEllen (John Sandford's Kidd novels) kind of "villain" and Draco's this uber-gorgeous Auror out to catch her, but ends up falling in love with her. It's a classic catch-me-if-you-can romance that I hoped somebody would write -- and now you did it... well, not quite!?!?

I know you've never considered writing a sequel for this -- but how about doing a prequel instead? It would be awesome to read about Ginny's many exploits and Draco's numerous attempts to capture the wizard world's most elusive jewel thief... and of course, their 1st smutty encounter (I just had to add that bit! hehehe!). PLEASE!?!

Author's Response: Glad to be of service. :) I\'ve been trying to beat off the bunnies, but I think a prequel is demanding to be written so do be on the lookout. :)

Also, I love that even the house plays a big part in the story -- a sort of metaphor of what the world should be like if we all just take the time out and realize that life is alot simpler if we all just get along! I can't wait for the next chapter! *smiles*

PS: Are you still going to do the Thief of Hearts prequel?
