I've been trying in vain for the past week or so to find a decent GinnyxDraco fiction, and it seems as if I've finally stumbled upon one. Of course, being quite an avid Austen fan myself, I was definitely intrigued upon reading the description. Your story did not disappoint! In fact, I was quite pleasantly surprised at the accurate, in-character conversation and the Rowling-like narrative. I never find Harry Potter fanfiction to be very entertaining if it doesn't at least attempt to pay some sort of homage to her very unique and charming writing style.

May I also comment that I actually had to stop reading for a while at the mention of a "Snoopin" center for orphans. I had uncontrollable tears of mirth at that unexpected bit of comedy, and I have rarely laughed that hard while reading a fanfic. Excellent wit!

I look forward to going through some of your other stories. It is always nice to discover some real talent for writing on this site!

This was a really brilliant mash-up of P+P and HP! I think my favorite substitution was Ron/Neville chasing after the Quidditch players in place of Lydia and Kitty chasing after the officers.

Wow! That was amazing! I loved it, this is the first fanfiction of yours I have ever read, but I am automatically in love with your talent. Just last night my friend and I were talking about how we couldn't find stories (not oneshots) with a good word count and here yous is with enough to keep you busy for a good while. Not only that, but even though it was lengthy it kept you reeled in and had plenty of substance. The characters were portrayed very well and, to me, hardly ever went out of their natural character. The concept (HP+JA=AMAZING) was terrific and I wish I could have thought something like that before, but alas I am beat out. The point is it was highly enjoyable, very humorous and just an over all good story. You write magnificently. I am most certainly reading some of your older works and watching out for anything from you! Good luck with future writing!:)

thanx for writing another d/g one-shot. it always makes me happy to read the stories.

First, I want to let you know that I was thoroughly excited when I came to get your profile address to recommend your stories to a friend and saw the announcement of a new Christmas fanfiction. Thank you, and merry belated Christmas, yourself. Yay!

Now, a long story seems to deserve a long review:

Ah, Austen and Harry Potter, what more could a girl want? Well, maybe a cup of tea to go with it. This is (a little surprisingly, because I'm usually wary of stories that borrow another's plot, but I figured you've yet to let me down before) well-done! I was most pleased to see lines directly from Austen novels showing up, but I do warn that they are perhaps a little heavy in the first section. I half-expected and -wished you to take all your dialogue from Austen, but quickly abandoned the idea and forgave you for not following that pattern as the story continued; the use of original dialogue and different or additional subplots (like the war, like the politics of the Quidditch world) are probably why this-- is it a cross-over? What's the proper terminology?-- works. One thing to watch: Sometimes you fall into Jane's language and sometimes that of modern young adults. The contrast does rather stand out... Mr. and Mrs. Weasley aren't QUITE old enough to make that work, I don't believe, and Hermione definitely isn't (I think she had the most Austenian lines, usually).

I have to say, nice inclusion of Sense and Sensibility as well. I was rooting for Harry to pull an Edward Ferrars with Gwen. I too figured it out at the party at Nether-Barthorne Park. It was Gwen's comments mostly. I realize that his role was also supposed to reflect Mr. Collins, but I prefer to think of him as the dashing Edward.

But... was that Twelfth Night? The bit with Park? Austen certainly never did a thing like that... did she? Oh but wait... poor Ron; he's Lydia, one of the silliest girls in all of England! And on that laughing note, I think I shall end with a: "Thank you. Wonderful story! I love fluff. Particularly well-written fluff."

AW! i loved it! And "ron had run away with patrick park!" Lol AHAHAHHA! u wicked, wicked girl. u butchered austen, with your not so sly references to homosexuality. LOL. LOVED IT!

this was a great adaptation! i really enjoyed your twist on the story.

LOVE IT! Oh man, that was excellent! And all the P&P parallels were just wonderful. And PANSY!! HAHAHAHA! Wow, seriously, that was just excellent.
I'm a little confused, though. I mean, obviously Draco and Ginny were going to end up together, what with them being Darcy and Lizzy and you promising another Draco/Ginny Christmas fic... but it was very sudden at the end there. One moment she's taking Hermione to see Blaise, and then suddenly she's lacing her fingers trough Draco's? I just felt like there wasn't anything really leading up to it. I see where there were some subtle hints, like with Blaise promising to "follow through" on his end of the deal, but I was just surprised at how abruptly it ended... though maybe that had something to do with the fact that you wrote it at 3 in the morning? :-D
Anyway, that was excellent. I always love your Christmas fics. Please don't ever, ever stop writing them. Thanks. :)

The Harry Gwen thing seems like an allusion to Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax from "Emma." Was it intentional?

I love it!

I've only now had the chance to read this, and it's wonderful! You did a great job of adapting P&P while keeping it fresh and true to the HP characters. I particularly liked the idea of Harry as Mr. Collins and Ron and Neville as Lydia and Kitty, pining after the Quidditch stars. And the conversation over dinner in the Malfoy townhouse had me laughing out loud. Thank you ever so much for this story!

D/G, H/B, cross-dressing, a twisted Pride and Prejudice and a happy ending:there was nothing to not love about this fic! How ever did you come up with that twist with Pansy? I've never read the like--and I knew there was a reason you're one of my favorite authors, and I don't just mean on this site. Thanks so much for that bit of Christmas cheer, and I wish you just as much--and some hot cocoa, such as I enjoyed as I read this. lol

I was SO excited to see your annual Christmas fic up! This story was absolutely amazing and the perfect Christmas gift. And what a twist about Patrick- did NOT see that one coming! Once again, wonderful job, and thanks for the good read!

Loved it! I registered just so I could post this review. I read your Potter vs. Malfoy years ago and loved that story too. You are a great writer. I loved loved loved the bits from Emma and Sense and Sensibility too. The irony of Persuasion was hilarious. Poor, clueless Blaise! It was so fun to play "name that Austen" while reading this. I'm sure I didn't catch all of your references, but it was so clever and well done, I just had to let you know how much I appreciated it. Gush! Gush!

Brilliant story, enthralling really. The Parkinson/Park twist was genius. Wish that it had been longer but considering it...it still made one hell of a christmas post. Great job all around.
