I have a lot I want to say about this but I know I'll fuck it up if I try.

Just: Thank you.

Thanks for writing this.

WOW. I mean... WOW. I'm quite speechless: it was a great story. The plot very interesting, but the writing... it was AMAZING. Silly me, I can't help waiting for a happy ending, though.

Such an awesome work.

Ouch, that hurt. Way intense.

YAY! ANGSTY GINNY! Ginny never gets enough attention (unless she's with Harry, which pairing I HATE coincidentally. Writing style is excellent. You know, it's actually this sory that got me interested in your stories. I am a sucker for a (well-written) Ginny/Snape. The whole "Ginny as writer" and "Ginny with questions" is brilliant. Works incredibly (sadly) well with Snape's new blank attitude (so BIZARRE-but you managed it.) And the McGonagall side made me almost wince a good thing. Stories have to be interesting to make someone feel uncomfortable-yet you still want to read. So terribly heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. Had to re-read it. (have read said story at least 6 times)."This is Ginny and this is Severus and this is how they did it all wrong
Are you allergic to happy endings? Although I suppose they've always seemed to boring. And this (somehow) feels like a happy ending. Maybe Ginny never was meant to let go. It's (almost) happy ending for her. But Ginny's a writer-she probably doesn't believe in (happy) endings.

Wow...

You know I usually don't read anything like this, although I must admit I'm not really fond of this couple either, but...it was so goood I loved it, I cant even descibe it...

But I just have one question, why "Gesellschaft"? Why "Society"? I'd like to know why you would call it like that, why in german...hehe I'm sure I can hink of a lot of crazy stuff to answer those questions, but since this is your work of art, II'd love to know your reason...

Thank you for such an amazing story

Loved it!(P.S Sorry for all the possible mistakes in this review...I'm not really english motherspeaker, that's why I usually don't leave reviews for fanfics in english,but in this one...I just had to )

I liked 'your zen is false' but I *loved* this. I love the game that isnt really a game. I'm trying to coherently explain why I love it so much and I am finding that I cant.

I think what I love most is the dichotemy of necessity and choice. It seems to be so necessary to Ginny for her to understand Snape, to see if he is actually different. And yet all their interactions maintain a feeling of choice which is dichotemous in itself because who would choose that?

The idea that there is a certain way she needs Snape to be (and that it had to be him even though really it was just a role she needed (they both needed) filled) and even when he fulfilled that role it still wasnt enough and there is no happy ending.

I think this is one of the best representations of the mentality/emotionality of life after war I have read.

I'm still not convinced Ive managed to get across what I am trying to say so in short it was amazing, I really felt your characters and I loved it.

Without words.

This is possibly the best one-shot I've ever read.
I love the sort of poetic feel to it and the words running together.
It's nothing short of beautiful, in a tragic way obviously, and I never seem to tire of reading it.

You're fucking incredible. I have no words. This is the only story ever to make me like Ginny (well, not like, but I've never read a story with her as a main character and stuck it through) ever, and probably either the first or the first in a long time that made me try to figure out how to laugh and cry at the same time.

This thing deserves some more damn reviews.

This was a breathless brilliant rollercoaster of pain- not the sharp aching kind you (theoretically) get when you're dumped or someone dies or the makeitstop of really bad can't-think-of-anything-else-but-making-this-end pain, but the dull little ache you get when you fuck things up and the world's kind of pissy awful and there's really nothing good left anymore.
Life can be like that- is mostly like that, from a certain point of view- certainly not as dramatically most of the time- but the way you painted it was just...
I'm at loss.

It was every synonym for 'good' in the world.

Plus sexy. Indescribably so.

I love the way the words flowed.

Not your normal everyday Ginny/Snape if you consider them everyday normal.

Brilliant writing

Oh. This is glorious, heartbreaking, and god, I only wish I could still submit the title meaning for gesellschaft to earn a request from you. Youre a amazing. It was really a captivating read.

Hemingway said that writing is not a happy profession. There are times when I write, finally, truly write, when the words slip out with an ounce of thought, that I agree. There is nothing so tragic as capturing a moment of truth.

Thank you for a breath of inspiring reality.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I love this and I love this and I love you.

So there.

Not the usual Snape/Ginny's I read. Or many fanfics for that matter. I like the way you kept them OC and the way you didn't. It was like reading a balancing act. Who would come out the winner in the end? Neither. And as for the name of your story, I happen to know it. Only vaguely, considering my English teacher was the one to explain it to the class earlier this year when we read Hamlet. I think it has something to do with how people interact with each other. Something about how a person only thinks and acts for themselves? At any rate, beautifully written story.
