bunny banii chapter 17 . 8/31/2009 Oh shit. IMMAH GO INSANE! UPDATE! |
bunny banii chapter 4 . 8/29/2009 Me: ...Jerk. Harry: ... Me: DIE! *grabs hot poker and stabs Harry with it* Harry: ARGH! And that is how I tortured him. :D |
bunny banii chapter 3 . 8/29/2009 This story rules! :D I have a HUMONGOUS Harry/Ginny obsession. xD ~Mindy~ |
Cuter Than You chapter 17 . 8/4/2009 This can't be the end! I am still a little confused about the ties that bind everyone, and what part they play in this. Also, I think that it can't be over until Ginny and Harry are back together, and they have figured out how that man got into Hogwarts. |
mhgood chapter 17 . 7/23/2009 What a lovely, lovely, LOVELY story! I was absolutely riveted as I sat here for hours, glued to my computer screen, reading every delicious word. You are such a talented writer-each characterization was spot on, and your plot was exciting and intriguing. I wish you'd completed this story, though I suppose that after five years (and one day), there isn't much hope that you'll come back to this and add on to it. Still, it's a beautifully written story. Definitely one of the better ones I've read in a while. |
potter06 chapter 17 . 7/23/2009 i love this story. one of my absolute favorites. |
curiousmeem chapter 1 . 6/13/2009 Dear Serendipity, I just finished reading chapter 17 of this on SugarQuill I think, but wanted to favorite and review here in hopes that you'll get this review. I don't know if you plan on continuing this fic further, but where you've left is a good point so far-it wasn't like one of those fics that you spend ages investing in the character, and plot and are left with a cliffhanger the size of the Grand Canyon with the characters on outs. I remember reading part of this when it was originally published, and Harry Potter was in the abyss between the 4th and the 5th book, or 5th and 6th. (Ah! The days of HP fanfic boom!) I'm happy with the closure I got from the latest chapter with both of them in the hospital ward, but I also know that you have more than enough background information to continue this into a longer fic, or even end it here and make another medium length sequel. The level of detail that you've put in the plot background gives you more than enough room to play around with more action and character development-at least for Ginny. I love the way you portray Harry, it has made this one of the most memorable Harry/Ginny fics in existence,- your ability to understand and have a grasp of his personality only further enhances it. Truth be told, I'm not often a fan of action or suspense because the majority of the time it seems to take away from the plot. However, the way that you used action and suspense to further the development-emotional, physical, and spiritual of Ginny-has only further enhanced and streamlined the seamless narrative that you were hoping to achieve. Your ability to weave a purpose in the exciting parts of your story rather than have *feelings/growth, then action, then decompression of feelings during action* is unprecedented by other writers anywhere. Overall, I feel like this is a well-rounded piece of writing, great grammar, excellent plot, character development etc... Despite the fact that a lot of what you have introduced in previous chapters remains in the air-such as where Ginny's relationship with Meavan will go-I'm going to say I would give this 4 stars out of 5 stars. (I'd give you a 5 but nothing's perfect so...sorry ';) And last but not least I will reiterate this, in hopes of making this a well-rounded critique, one more time that you really have created an environment where you have so much room to do so many things with the main character-Ginny and her future. You use the war as a backdrop extremely well. Although I have my own delusions of where I think Ginny's character would go from here, it really would have been more enjoyable to read your perspective and see how it would have come together. I also understand, as a writer, that writing fanfiction and getting out our creative urges can be quite daunting, and even feel like a burden when we come up against plot obstacles. More often than not real life gets in the way of our hobbies, our ideas, our interest and passions, especially the older we get. (And other times like me-you just get lazy) Perhaps, you never want to return to this story again. And for that I have to say thank you. Thank you for reaching a point in this fanfiction where I can rest assured knowing, that at least for know, Ginny and Harry have some semblance of calm, reassurance,security and romantic feelings for each other. It would be have been excruciatingly painful to read all this brilliant writing and end up with a complete and total cliffhanger (not that your end isn't a cliffhanger-its just that its a happy cliffhanger, not a I'm-so-frustrated-i-want-to-bang-my-head-against-something-cliffhanger). Thank you, and good luck in all your future endeavors, if you ever get/read this review. I apologize for how long it is but I just wanted to get all of my opinions out on all these topics.

goldeneyedgirl247 chapter 17 . 5/31/2009 I love this story. It's amazing! I love how you developed the character of Ginny, and made her your own. You are a great writer. -GG |
FadingSlowly chapter 17 . 4/9/2009 this would be going on my favs list, but it's NOT FINISHED lol. and it's a shame because it's really excellent. i'm not asking you to update. just letting you know that it's a wonderful story. ) |
I am Unique chapter 1 . 3/21/2009 This is a brilliant story. I hope you carry on with it or write a sequel. Just a note: Sometimes you left out a word and replaced it by a might want to have a Beta check over it. |
MidnightxRed chapter 17 . 2/15/2009 This story is amazing! I love it! You really understand these characters and their relationships to each other, and your writing skill is fantastic! I am really sorry i havent reviewed the other chapters. |
Blah chapter 17 . 1/22/2009 I'm not gonna lie-I'm a bit disappointed so see that this project seems to have been dropped entirely. This was honestly one of the best H/G fics I've read. Too many people stumble around with their words, and construct awkward sentences, but you've managed to find a very fitting style. On top of that, your characterizations are spot on. We're not given a lot of glimpses into Ginny throughout the books, but you've taken the little flashes and turned them into a character that really works, and is quite believable. If you ever get bored, I'm sure a ton of people would love to read another chapter of this. Even if it's left as is, however, good luck to you with whatever you choose to spend your time doing. |

CocoaCollidoscope chapter 17 . 10/13/2008 Aw, come on. I just realized this is an unfinished story! Crap... is there a way to entice you into finishing the story... um, four years later? I will bake you chocolate chip cookies if you finish. Wah. |
