Will you also give positive reviews to Ginny? It would not be fair if she only got flames *pouts*

Your fic is very good, very well written. I like your writing style, especially the introspection.

As for your young age (at the time): If that's what you were able to do at the age of thirteen then we can expect quite a lot of you in some years time when you had even more exercise in writing and more experiences to resort to.

Hey! I love everything you write. It always makes me laugh. Of course, that could just be because i'm hyper and have had too much coke, but your suff is funny (like the little note at the end: "everyone: corectomundo, Amanda"). It's also a really neat idea, this whole fire thing...fits to ginny's hair.

Very nice. Love the interplay between the two and the clear depth of their relationship :) Very pretty, too!

An interesting, if short, piece. Ginny as pyromaniac is an extremely cool thing, I must say. The first person viewpoint is not something I'm used to reading, but it's well done in this instance, feels genuine...

I do wonder things like how Ron gets the cloak, and how Ginny knew about it in the first place, but they get filed under 'details'. The first person, present tense narrative dictates that we only get a snapshot of these lives, and so there will be things unexplained - brief nods to a slightly bigger picture.

I wonder how they met, initially. Surely post-Cedric, but when, and how? There could be quite a tale, there...

Nonetheless an interesting fic, with a new PlaysWithMatches!Ginny. Love that twist!

Hmm. Never thought of Ginny as a pyromaniac before, but it actually makes a lot of sense (given that the Chamber of Secrets seemed to be connected with water and cold, it's quite natural - I think - for her to want the opposite).

Just a couple of little things I found disconcerting: You might want to put a little more effort into summaries, so more people will want to read what you write (since this really is lovely). Also, though this isn't a big deal, I couldn't tell till halfway through the story if Ginny was actually involved with Cho or just wanted to be.

Otherwise, this is really sweet and I like the way you characterize them both. :)

I love! Write more please? *Looks hopeful*

You're only 13? I never would have guessed. I came to read this one because Ravens & Doves was so much fun, but this story is better - I'm very impressed that it was a late-night whim.

A few suggestions: post your stuff more widely. Are your fics not on FA? If not, why not? Also, I agree with Foxglove said below that you don't need to be so self-deprecating in your A/Ns. You're a good writer, that's clear to anyone who reads your stuff, so don't try to convince us otherwise! :)

Thanks for writing.

I've seen this before... I forgot where... Great though!

Oh, that was so pretty and sweet...

Mmm... lovely detail in this, and so much truth. I loved the both the romantic relationship between Ginny and Cho, and the easy companionship.

Ooohhh, pretty... Ginny and fire! They make a great match, but I like the Ginny/Cho, too. ::grins:: S'good. And- ayi, you're thirteen? Wow! _ You sound much older, in your writing, your style. It's really neat. I like the way you write... if that makes *any* sense, and it probably doesn't. But you're an excellent writer- and waaah, I *heart* Ginny, she's great! (YAY for Ginny fanfiction!) Although I especially liked it when she described how she saw Cho's hair... s'pretty. Er, right then, I'm going to shut up now and stop bothering. ::sweatdrops:: Ayi.

_ I like your firebug Ginny ) Also, your comment on flames being given to Ginny is awfully cute. The fic tastes salty, if that makes sense. And a bit smoky. Perhaps that's why you had a hard time categorising it. And honey, please don't apologise in your author notes! Let your readers decide for themselves if they like your fic or not. If you're so self-deprecating right at the outset, it puts them in the mindset that they may not like the story before they even start reading it. Personally, I liked it even so. But just a general bit of advice (oh no - I'm giving out un-asked for advice! Shoot me now...). Anyway, intriguing and strangely beautiful story. I'd be interested to hear more if your muse beckons )

write more please... i've recently decided that this was my favorite HP femmeslash pairing

Okay, okay, so I DID write a counterpart from Cho's POV. I posted it as "Firefly and Butterfly" here, and I'll try to post it in the Alley soon.

I like it; short and sweet. I can see the sisterly connection, because let's face it, she's got six brothers standing between her and her mother. Cho as a surrogate sister seems nice and symmetrical; I see Cho as an only child, even though one of my favorite cho-fics (please look in for a gem titled "6 Ways of Unpinning a Butterfly"-brilliant writing) gives her a kid sister.

I kinda sorta wonder how they got together-being in different houses and two years apart and all. have you thought in terms of a "prequel"? (As I wrote that, a thought crossed my mind; post CoS Ginny ends up understandably afraid to enter a toilet alone, especially Moaning Myrtle's; she asks Cho to be an escort one day, and one thing leads to another...

The funny thing is, Cho being Chinese, she'd know about Taoist magic, which includes the use of fire. I'm posting a Harry/Cho fic, "Wizards Duel" in which Cho gives Myrtle a new dress as a Christmas present. (How do you give a dress to a ghost? By creating a paper replica and ritually burning it to send it over to the other side.)

I'm tempted to write the prequel myself-if you won't, that is-incorporating these elements. But I don't know if I'd do justice to your style, which is quite mature (13? coulda fooled me)
