I've been out of the fandom for a year or so, and I'm starting to have major withdrawals, so please bare with me as I ease myself back in and attempt to finish the sequel to the story I started almost 5 years ago. . . .
the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return
Wow, that was absolutley hilarious! Congrats on a job well done!
First things first…this plot is overused. But I always end up reading these stories because it really is a great plot in that it is a validated reason to get Draco and Hermione together. Sooo my advice to you is to give YOUR story something abstract about it; give it sparkle, elaboration, and dialog like Fresh Pickled Toad already suggested. The one thing that I as an author constantly try to think about when I write, is that JKR created the world of Harry Potter with an unbelievable amount of detail, and it's the detail that captures the readers. So just remember that when you're writing! This story definitely has potential, and I look forward to reading more!
Author's Response: i honestly havent read too many of the D/Hr fics (though some are on my favorites list- ive just been meaning to read them). im still not sure exactly where im going with the plot, but im going to try to make it more individual- i just hope it works!
Love it! Love it! 'Twas marvelous!! Love your detail/writing style....my only complaint would be that your chapters aren't long enough!! Hope the mods hurry with the next installment! Till then, I'm here and awaiting more!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! =) I'm a big fan of your fic, 'Born the Day You Kissed Me'!
Ohh, I was wondering where Dr and Hr would come into play! Nice opening, though I'm sure that if someone lost my hotel reservation and I knew I'd made it, I would totally speak to the manager and demand an explanation! I liked the interaction between the two. Another thing, wouldn't they resume their 'alter' appearances before opening the door? Hmmmm, well, I guess they had to find out each others true identity somehow. Intersting start as I already said! 'Twas a good read!
The truth? Not a R/Hr fan at all...but I LOVED this story nonetheless! I think you did a wonderful job with what would have been a rather cliche plot, but you took it to the next level. Kudos to you!:) And for heavens sakes, enough with this ridiculus rupertfan person. We get it! You have no life! Stop writing rude and pointless comments! It is infuriating! I am a Texan so I can say first hand that we do NOT speak like that! Seriously, you make me wonder if you are an elementary dropout....
As much as I love this story, I just need something to happen between them. the suspense is killing me, I feel like I've been reading the same thing for the past 30ish chapters, and I'm not sure how much longer I can take this!
I don't know how many times I've read this story, I just love it!!
I can't say much else that hasn't been expressed by the thousands of other reviewers. . . .you're obviously doing somthing right ;)
Oh my goodness I LOVED the bathroom scene! I couldn't stop myself from grinning. And then of course, "Sexy Beast" had me falling out of my chair. And I liked how sentimental they got at the end :) Well done, I'm glad that you're back!!
I just plowed through this whole story for the first time and I absolutely love it!! Though I must say you are doing a great job with keeping them in character...you have also deprived us all of fluff through 24 long chapters! Omfg, when are they gonna kiss!??? I hope it is soon....Anyways great job with the suspense, and I'm looking forward to an update!!
Author's Response: Thanks for reading the whole story in one sitting and loving it! Good to hear that the characters are, well, in character. =D Yup, I admit, I have deprived you guys of fluff for 24 whooooole chapters. But, I promise you that I won't deprive you guys for the whole story. I'm not THAT evil! =P Thanks for the review, hope you like the rest of the story!
You portrayed Hermione very well in the first chapter; that is exactly the type of reaction I would imagine her having. Your descriptions are good, but as I always advise, the more detail the better. You're off to an excellent start, so keep it up!
I really enjoyed this. I thought it was very simple and eloquent, great job!
I just read all of your chapters so far and I hope they validate the next chapter soon! I really like it!
First of all, I think this was written very well. Great descriptions. Love the detail. Some suggestions though: the summary is a little long. Make it short and sweet. Don't tell the entire story, only hint at what's to come so you can get more people to read it. Another thing, use more dialogue. It starts to lose interest when the only thing you have are big long paragraphs. Dialogue makes it way more interesting. But again, I think this has great potntial and I think you're off to a fabulous start:)
Author's Response: Yes, thanks. For establishing any story, I find description over dialogue is best, and keeps things moving slowly. The character interactions pick up as I introduce them, this story is very drawn out... 36 chapters. I know the beginning is a bit boring... it was my first try at writing, so I didn't know what I was doing. Thank you for the review, your suggestions are exactly what I did work towards later on in my story... when its all posted, you'll see what I mean ^_^
Great job, I really liked it! Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: ^_^ Thanks, I will
Good start, like some others have said it does stand out. I think it would be wise to get a Beta however, for simple things like the capitalization and especially in the summary...also you are using i, not I. NEVER use an uncapitalized I, it is always in caps!!! Like another said, the summary needs to be proofed, and I'm sure you'll find that a lot more people will read your story if your summary is inticing. Anyways, great job for a first fanfic, you're off to a great start!!
Author's Response: Hey thanx alot....I've gotten a beta for the third chapter....I've just realised about the summary. I for got all about it. Thanx for reminding me...lol thanx for your review.
I really enjoyed this opening chapter! Good job with giving lots of descriptions, and like another said, I like how you already have a relationship with Ron established for Hermione. I wouldn't stress too much over the cliche thing--it is good to be unique, but it is also really difficult to write a Hr/Dr without having a few of the classic cliche plot...Head Boy/Head Girl, paired together in potions, hormones and all that...it is pretty rare to come across a fic that doesn't have at least one of those. Anyways, I also would like to applaud your summary, for that is the reason I decided to read this. It drew me in! Anyways, I'm on to the next chapter:) Great job!
Good job, I really liked this chapter! Keep the updates coming:)
Very good, I really liked this. Interesting too...I never thought about Draco and Hermione talking and him not yet knowing that she's a mudblood. Intersting, I like it! It would be cool if you extended this and made it from Draco's POV....
Author's Response: i just realized it was you CLee. OMG you dont know how excited i just got. your like my favorite author. and you paying me a compliment on my work.... im speachless. thank you.
This story is great so far, I cannot believe that I'm the only person who as reviewed, C'mon people!! I really loved all the description you used in this chapter. For some reason I loved the line about Hermione shrinking closer to Draco when they passed the DE. One question, was this chapter written in the past, or the present? Anyways, I hope she uses her ring soon to let Harry and Ron know not to come. And of course I hope Draco helps her escape crazy voldy;) Great chapter, I applaud you! Update soon! 10/10
