 CocoaCollidoscope 2009-03-19 . chapter 11Wow, this is a crazy, insane and WONDERFUL story so far. I noticed you haven't updated in years, and wondered if you could be inspired to do so because of all us reviewing/begging you to finish!
The "Lavender" reviewer was a BITCH. Obviously, she has no clue what the words "fan" and "fiction" mean and you should ignore her drivel.
You've only started to make the plot thicken. Please update! I'm sure there are MANY OF US waiting to read more. Good luck, and I hope to get a story alert from you. |
 slytheringrl17 2009-02-15 . chapter 11i like it |
 SweetProserpina 2008-11-15 . chapter 11Just wanted to pipe up and say I enjoyed re-reading this one again- love it if you continue but no worries if you don't- I know I have a stack of unfinished stuff that's been languishing for ages too ;-)
I also wanted to review in response to another review you got from Lavender Gaia. Don't let it get to you Angelique Blue. There any hundreds (if not thousands!) of readers who have gotten lots of pleasure reading your story, I know I have. The true beauty and fun of fanfiction is the freedom to use the characters and worlds that have already been created and that we love and let our imaginations fly with them. Sometimes characters end up evolving, or backdrops change but that's the FUN!
Lavender Gaia, fanfiction is many things to many people- it's escapism, it's expression, it's something creative and fun. I've read lots of fanfiction I don't prefer but that doesn't give me the right to abuse the writer. I just stop reading and find another story. Criticism can be constructive, yours wasn't, If you have an issue with the quality of work on you may want to join a community that strictly moderates its submissions. You might find it more in keeping with your standards, whether you would be accepted into their community however is questionable considering your treatment of aspiring authors. |
 KeeperofthePineNeedles 2008-10-03 . chapter 10why'd you stop writing?!?!?!
i liked this fic!
but i swear it's been years since i read it last... |
 Matchbox Of Music 2008-08-25 . chapter 1So, I was going through all of the reviews I had given people and decided that I'm going to re-read all of the fics. I don't think I realized how many fics you can read in, say, 10 or so years.
And, I'm sorry, but this review isn't about your story, I just had to comment on the review left by Lavender Gaia, who obviously doesn't get the whole point of fan fiction. Fan fiction isn't about trying to copy or reproduce anything, it's about loving something (like, I don't know, Harry Potter) and generating your own ideas. Fan fiction isn't about being a good writer, it's about being creative, artistic and (at least for me) improving your writing. So...Lavender Gaia, I'm sorry, but you're an idiot. It wasn't even a critique, it was just a bash on a fellow fan fiction writer and unless you are the original creator of anything on , the characters are going to be OOC because we, the fans, just do not know them nearly as well as the creators do.
Most of all, fan fiction is about having fun and messing around. |
 Arciere 2008-08-03 . chapter 11I continue to be intruiged by this. Would you consider updating soon?
-Arciere |
 Brytni 2008-05-15 . chapter 11 I absolutely love this story! I can't wait for the new chapters and the ending. You've done an amazing job! |
 AdriannaZaria 2008-04-29 . chapter 5i love love LOVE it |
 AdriannaZaria 2008-04-12 . chapter 2i love this story bunches yep-yep! *smiles* |
 windowstothesoul 2008-02-01 . chapter 11why haven't you updated in almost 2 years? are you just leaving this story, or did you forget about it? it was a really good story, but then you have to go and kill it by not updating it |
 Lavender Gaia 2008-01-21 . chapter 1A few people I know think that the Ginny JKR created is a Mary-Sue. So a friend and I set out to see just how Mary-Sue-like Ginny could get. I wouldn't call this a Ginny Mary-Sue fic. I would call this story the complete deification of Ginny Weasley.
It wouldn't surprise me if your closet was a large shrine to her and everything about her. Reading this chapter, I half-expected everyone else to use their unworthy tongues to lick their goddess clean because regular water is just not good enough for Ginny the Magnificent.
There's so many things wrong with this that I'm not sure where to start. But how about Harry, since he's the main character of the series. First off, he's never cared about what she's wearing unless he's lusting over her. The fact that he calls her his sister is kind of creepy considering that in canon they make out and have sex and reproduce. Now, I can see this is a Draco/Ginny fic from the information, but not everyone has a complete disregard for canon and characterization, so I'm still feeling the ick factor.
Now, Hermione. If Ginny was that wonderfully amazing, you wouldn't have to lower every female character around her in order to make her seem better. Hermione is beautiful in her own way. Rowling never said that she was 5'4" as far as I remember, so I'm saying that you making her short is complete bull. But of course, everyone is merely six inches tall around the indescribably GINNY!
"Ginny had significantly defined muscles and curves in all the right places from years of wrestling with the boys and playing Quidditch." We're gonna play a little game called "What's wrong with this picture?" and we're gonna ask Logic and Realism to come play with us. If you're a big sports player, you are not going to have a lot of "curves." Look at female athletes. While they have muscles, most of them do not have curves because extensive exercise and the creation of muscles does away with excess fat, even in "all the right places." But since Ginny's God and all, this obviously doesn't apply to her.
"Ginny didn't even try to be beautiful, she just was." I'm throwing up. I'm throwing up all over the place. Your writing just made me physically ILL.
Ah, the quidditch game. As much as you seem to worship Ginny, you seem to forget her very characteristics. Why isn't she playing too? She's part of the Gryffindor team. The extreme ogling could have been done just as well (not from you, of course, but from good writers) while on a broom. And why is Hermione "thoroughly engrossed" in the game? It's a pick up quidditch game! Unless they're reading off chapters from Hogwarts, A History while playing, Hermione isn't going to care less.
We now get to complete the OOC triangle of the Golden Trio with Ginny removing her sweater. First of all, is the tank top magical? I don't think Ginny is SO well-endowed that she's putting Jenna Jameson to shame. Every guy in the world isn't going to swarm her for removing a sweater. And the boys acted just as out of character about it. It's a TANK TOP! I know that they usually wear robes, but it's not like she was suddenly dressed like it was a Playboy shoot. It wasn't even a bikini top; it's something most normal girls wear on a daily basis. Yes, Harry, people just talk in a tank top in jeans. Oh noes, she's not dressing like a nun! Call the Aurors!
You're trying to make Ginny look good and sympathetic by making everyone else look bad, but you're just making yourself look bad in the process. Ginny's only going to shine by being the most relateable among others who are just as good if not better. If you have to make everyone else look bad, then it just shows how Ginny isn't good enough. Of course she's going to look good among a bunch of idiots. Yes, a dull penny is going to look great if it's surrounded by shredded hundred dollar bills.
"She couldn't have close female friends because she was always bombarded with questions about Harry." Not only is this completely incongruous with the series, but I'd guess that she can't have close female friends because she's an insufferable twit. I wouldn't want to be her friends. I think I'd rather jump from the astronomy tower.
Others have mentioned that the Creeveys are muggle-born (because that wasn't part of the PLOT of COS or anything...), so I won't mention that. Yet Ron won't let her wear a tank top outside, but he'll let her stay away for a whole weekend elsewhere where there will be BOYS?! You're already inconsistent and it's only been a few paragraphs! Can we say plot convenience?
Where exactly is she getting this gold from? Don't you know? The Weasleys are POOR. It's only been drilled into our heads a thousand times. I'm sure she's just getting Ron's hand-me-downs.
I'm not sure what's worse, "Gingersnap" or the way Hermione was completely out of character. Either way, gag me.
""Oh, what a cold, cruel world...all the hot ones are gay or taken!" she faked fainting, putting a hand to her head.
"Hey, we're hot!" they retorted in unison, pointing to themselves." There are no words. There are only the sounds of my retching.
Blaise Zambini? Well, yes, that's original. With his formerly ambiguous gender, Blaise Zambini gets laid more than anyone in the Potter-verse.
McGonnagal is never onscreen or mentioned at all, but she's STILL out of character! Make Draco Head Boy? Not if Lucius Malfoy gave her ever knut he owned. All you're doing is making things convenient because you're not good enough to make Ginny and Draco come together in a way that hasn't been done thousands of times. If they were are "meant to be together" as I'm sure you're going to say, then you wouldn't have to make him Head Boy.
Even 5'8" Ginny is too short to be a supermodel. And still, gag me, "Princess." If Madam Malkins (the only robe owner known to us who has NO competition) needed someone to sponsor her clothing, she wouldn't ask Ginny Weasley. That's pretty much saying, "Robes for the poor who know how to procreate!" She would use freaking Harry Potter, who also shops there.
The submit review button! It's over. Oh, thank God in heaven, it's over!
So, to synthesize this, a few points:
1. JKR made a lot of really good characters. Stop abusing them. 2. Reread the books.
3. Stop using your own characters and giving them names like "Ginny" and "Colin" and then sticking the story in the Harry Potter section. We don't want to read your original fiction.
4. Change your story to fit the characters; don't change the characters to fit the story. If your story doesn't fit without making everyone act out of character, then your story needs to be fixed.
5. Stop trying to be cute and making everyone gag. The characters are not here to show what you feel. There are enough anorexics out there without you helping.
6. The internet is not a place for you to show how many times you can orgasm from writing Ginny's name. Keep it to yourself.
The only good thing about this is that your spelling and grammar doesn't suck. If it did, I'm not even sure I could get this far. |
