First off, I'd like to say thanks for reviewing my story. Now, on to yours: I think this is a good start. You, I am sure, are aware of this, but your characters are unbelievably OOC. That's what makes it so funny! 9/10



Why Hermione Is Different Than All The Other Girls by GwendolynJames

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: If Hermione hadn't met the boys on the train that first day, things would most certainly be different. Featuring Metro!Ron, Loser!Harry, Stalker!Hermione, and Smoker!Ginny.
Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 05/20/06 Title: Chapter 1: Why Hermione Is Different Than All The Other Girls

I love this!! Very clever and very funny! I found one type, but that was all. “No so well" should be "Not so well." Anyway, great job and you're on my favorites!



Rowling & Seuss: Together at Last by Cassiel Oliviari

Rated:
Summary: Here's the plot, its Hogwarts rhymes. I'm sure you've heard it many times. But this has story, romance too. You have to check if it's for you!
Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 05/15/06 Title: Chapter 1: Part 1

Oh my goodness, this is hilarious!! I don't think I've ever found a poem that I liked so much! Favorite line: Your happy lives are now in danger, and by the way, nice bottom Granger. Such pervy fun! And it rhymes so nicely; often these poems cheat here and there, but yours stays rhythmically even the whole time. So keep up the fab work, and this is on my faves!



A Thousand Words by annie

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: For the rest of the Ministry, the interdepartmental challenge was merely a failed attempt to restore trust between workers. But for Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger, it was the catalyst for an unexpected relationship built on passionate letters, concealed identities, and secret meetings – and the beginning of an end that neither of them could ever have imagined possible, not even in their wildest dreams.

Post-war. Based somewhat on the story of the Phantom of the Opera. Also contains R/Hr, so don't read if you can't stomach that ship.

Status: Complete. Thanks for reading, everyone!

Love it! Clever touch about the Oragomi (is that how you spell it?) files and such... you are very imaginative! I am looking forward to reading your other chapters as soon as I get the chance. I love fics that show a different side of Draco, and this looks very promising. 10/10!



Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 01/29/06 Title: Chapter 3: Shadow and Starlight

This chapter is just as clever and beautiful as the first, but I have a few comments. First of all, in general I think you have portrayed an extremely accurate Hermione, but "Starlight" just doesn't seem like her at all. It seems a bit on the OOC side, and it's clichéd as well. Secondly, when Alicia says, ‘Wasn’t that Lestrange woman the one who killed Sirius Black?’ it seems like she should already know this. Wouldn't it have been in the papers, etc? And if not, surely Harry would have told people about Sirius' death. And even if he didn't tell them, I think it would be common knowledge by now. I mean, doesn't your story take place several years after Sirius' death? Other than those brief suggestions, I think this is a wonderful chapter. I love how you haven't made Draco some saint, but instead have tried to mix his good and bad qualities. He may be treating Harry and Ron and Hermione better, but he's still nasty to his House-Elf. And as Sirius Black himself says, you shouldn't judge a man by how he treats his equals, but by how he treats his inferiors. I am really enjoying this fic, and can't wait to read more! I'm not surprised you placed 3rd in the Book 7 Competition; you have an amazing amount of talent. 10/10 again!

Draco knows, doesn't he? He knows that the person Hermione is talking about is him?



Excerpts from Nagini's Diary by Scheherazade

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: A look into the life of Voldy's pet snake, Nagini.
Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 05/03/06 Title: Chapter 1: Memiors of a snake...

Omg, I love it! This is hilarious! I would love to help you, but I can't see anything you could do better! Here, I'll go read the next chapters...

Author's Response: Thanks for R&Ring!



Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 05/03/06 Title: Chapter 2: Say It Ain't So!?

Another brilliant chapter! I love the way you describe the events of book 6 (Narcissa and Bellatrix coming to visit Snape, etc) except through Nagini's voice they sound completely ridiculous. Favorite line: 'You know, if it wasn't for the fact that Voldy could turn me into a belt (a very fashionable belt, I might add)'. . . I found one typo, but that was it: Right now I'm in the middle of packing for my torturous journey to keep an eye that spaz Wormtail. It should be 'keep an eye on that spaz Wormtail.' Anyway, congrats on another great chapter!


Author's Response: Thanks for pointing out the typo. I\'ll go and fix right away. :-)



Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 05/03/06 Title: Chapter 4: Constantly Gardening

Still lovin' it. It's like a cross between Harry Potter and the Georgia Nicolson series! Perhaps what you need is a change of scenery... you know, have Nagini go spy on Hogwarts for awhile; pay a visit to the Dursleys; go be an apprentice to Peeves, etc. The possibilites are endless. If you don't like any of those ideas, I'm happy to talk more about it with you. Good luck!

Author's Response: I like those ideas! Especially the Dursley and Hogwarts ones! :-) It might be a little while before I get to writing it, but when I do, I\'ll let you know where I post it. Apparently, I might night be able to get future chapters approved as it\'s written in a \"bullet-style\" format and it\'s frowned upon, I guess.



Sirius Black . . . Babysitter Extraordinaire?! by Scheherazade

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: If Sirius Black can handle Severus Snape for 7-years at Hogwarts, then watching baby Harry, his godson, for the weekend should be a breeze right? WRONG! Find out what really happens when James and Lily leave Harry in his watch.

Congrats to you and Crimsonphoenix for getting rid of the plagerized story! I didn't think the mods were going to come through, and it was soooo unfair. So here's to the only Sirius-Black-is-a-babysitter story! *Applauds*

Author's Response: Thanks! *blushes* I really didn\'t think the mods were going to do anything about it either. I e-mailed Crimsonphoenix to tell her the good news, and I\'m sure she\'s going to be ecstatic! :-D



Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 04/30/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Rough Beginning

Nooo! You can't be leaving the site! I love this story!! I completely understand why you're mad with the mods (I mean-- why won't they delete the plagerized story?) but know that we will all miss you terribly! If you ever post another chapter on this story, please contact me and tell me where I can find it, because I'd love to read more. Also, if you're still reviewing on Mugglenet, Chapter 3 of my story, Tall, Dark, and Handsome has been posted if you'd like to take a look. :)

Author's Response: Hi! Thanks for understanding about me leaving. It\'s really for the best, I think. At least at the moment, anyhow. I\'ve talked to my co-author about continuing this story once before, but we\'re not sure if we\'re going to or not. We\'re both busy and all, but if something does come up and it does get written, you\'ll be the first to know. :-) I\'d love to take a look at chapter 3 of your story. :-D



Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 04/05/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Rough Beginning

Scheherazade, I really like this story! I love the way you portray Sirius, because you make him seem like a good guy, but still a little irrisponsible (lol!) That whole thing about the "Babysitting Harry" story being like yours is really weird; why'd the mods accept it if it was plagerized? Anyway, if you have time to R&R my story, "Tall, Dark, and Handsome" I would love that. I guarantee, there's nothing about using a "jellyvision" in it! Lol! Great job, and a 10/10

Author's Response: Hi! Thanks for reviewing! Crimsonphoenix helped me make Sirius that way, lol. Why the copied story got approved, I don't know. Maybe the mod who approved it was new and wasn't aware that there was already a story like it. Also, I'd love to take a look at your story. :-)



Not Going to Happen, Chica by Eilime

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary:

One shot fanfiction

This
fanfiction
is the traditional
Draco/Hermione romance
story. All the basics (Head Boy
and Girl, shared common rooms, suddenly
and quite unexpectedly they're highly attracted to
each other etc. etc.), but how likely is this stuff anyway?
Realistic? Each their own mind. But read the fic
and tell me if you too want to see
Draco/Hermione fanfics with
more to the plot than
the basics.

Everyone is slightly - well, maybe very - OOC in this fic. You have been warned ;)

1st story in a series of Hermione/Draco one-shots (Check out my author page for more information)

Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 03/15/06 Title: Chapter 1: One shot

Love it! Haha, I'm still not a fan of D/Hr, but this one is precious-- *image of Gollum pops into head*... er, wonderful. I was reading along and liking your story and everything, and then I got to the very last line and I was like "Omg, this is perfect! Why haven't I read this story before???" *Adds to favorites* You have a way with horribleness, Eilime. 10/10!

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad that you liked it even though your not a fan of the pairing, though this is actually such a story that you, and others with the same views, can read without screaming, "This pairing is SO not going to happen! Dream on!" Yes, it's been up for a long time, but I'm pleased that you came across it and took the time to read it now, then. Thank you for adding me to your favourites. It means a lot. And thank you for that compliment ;)



Afterlife by Cherubim

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: This is simply the brainchild of desire for a broom, to soar the skies and snatch the Snitch.
Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 05/04/06 Title: Chapter 1: The End

First off, thanks for reviewing my fic! Second of all (and far more importantly, I assure you) I think this is great! I think it's a shame more people don't read poetry. You're really talented.

Author's Response: No, no, my friend, thank YOU for being so kind. I am stuck in a twist trying to come up with a suitable story to wow you and all faithful citizens of Mugglenet, like an in-depth look at a secondary character. Have you any suggestions? Thanks again, Cherubim



Everywhere Else Is Full by saveginny417

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Sure, the tales of the Trio are great, and I'm not denying it. But what happens after the end of their story? Death, deception, and disagreements, to name a few things. Join Cora Potter, along with her best friends Olivia and Drew, during their first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry- and I can guarantee that you will never see the HP universe the same way again.

Chapter eleven is being painfully slow, isn't it? I promise to have it done by the time the queue reopens!
Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 04/27/06 Title: Chapter 1: Close Encounters of the Humiliating Kind

Hey, I thought this was really good! I was intrigued because my sister's name is Cora, and I have never, ever, ever heard it used anywhere before. I think you have some very good ideas in here, though I think some of the writing is a bit choppy and uneven. If you made the scenes just a little bit longer, it might get rid of that. One mistake: "Andrew MacDounagh,” he told himself quietly, “You are the only person on Earth who could get lost inside a train. It’s a stationary object, for crying out loud.” Cute line, but trains are not in fact stationary objects. Lol. Overall great job, and I look forward to reading the rest of your chapters! 8/10 :)


Author's Response: OMG a new reviewer! yay! I\'ve never heard the name Cora used before either, it just sort of materialized inside my head one day. A fact I am not proud of: one of the kids I babysit for googled the name Cora Potter and there\'s a real person with that name. the thing I am not proud of: she\'s a convicted murderer. oops. and the thing about the train: I\'ve heard that a hundred times. What I meant was that the inside of the train was stationary: the compartments weren\'t all moving around or anything. it\'s just a straight shot all the way down, and hard to get lost in. But beleive me, Joe would be able to do it. Thanks for the really thourough review, I really appreciate the effort. I think that\'s the longest review I\'ve ever gotten! and also this is probably the longest response I\'ve ever written.

A Few Detentions and A Story by LaneTechFreshie

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: James Potter: Marauder. Lily Evans: Prefect. They're both seventh years at Hogwarts. They're also about to have a pretty interesting year--complete with a few detentions, pranks, confusion, and laughter--in which they get through school, make some trouble and maybe, just maybe, sort out their feelings for each other.

Thanks to all you who have made it possible for this story to be in the Top Tens. It was a very happy moment when I first saw my story on the list, and I love being able to go back and see it there now. Still. Yay!

Throughout the latter half of 2010, and the first half of 2011, I re-edited this story. The changes were mostly to fix stray (and annoying) grammar and spelling errors, but also to rework some plot points in an effort to stay truer to canon. I also updated the style; having written this story so long ago, my writing has definitely developed (and I would say gotten better), so I edited to reflect that. (I apologize for the errors that were in the story before all this editing. I found them immensely distressing when I reread my chapters. Heartbreaking, really.)


Big “thank yous” go to the three people who helped edit/nitpick the first edition of this novel: violagirl, fairiesandcream, and Omagus.
And yes, this story is up on Fanficition.net under the penname: Io.Sono.Emilia.
Of course, as a disclaimer, I’m not JK Rowling. The Potterverse does not belong to me, but I am in it and love it.
Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 03/10/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Unbelievable Head

This is very good! I love James/Lily almost as much as I love Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, and Fleur/Kreacher. Anyway, there were a few typos, but nothing too bad: -- "He smiled and hugged his Mum." The 'mum' doesn't need to be capitalized. -- "The handprint hadn't gone away from three days." I think you mean for three days. Anyway, you might want to change those two, but I think your basic story is really good. Love all the descriptions; 10/10.



Drowning by melie

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: One-Shot. A tale of the new HP world from Harry's point of view. PG-13 just do be safe cause its a really dark poem. OVER 130 READS!!!!! THANK YOU TO ALL MY WONDERFUL REVIEWERS. IF YOU READ, YOU GET A HUG, AND IF YOU REVIEW, YOU GET A SMOOCH!
Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 04/30/06 Title: Chapter 1: Drowning

First off, let me thank you for reviewing my story Tall, Dark, and Handsome and putting it on your faves. I think this poem is really good, and I sympathize with how difficult it is to get reviewers. People just don't read enough poetry! Anyway, my favorite stanza (is that what they're called?) is:

***

Off to destroy the Horcruxes four,
Hopefully, there are no more
Look what happened to Dumbledore,
If he lost a hand, I will lose more
***

Doesn't it sound like some sort of rap? I think it does. *Dances around room receiting melie's rap.* By the way, what other stories are you referring to in your profile? It looks like this is your only one. Anyway, good job and keep writing!


Author's Response: no problemo! i love Tall, Dark, and Handsome! your review entertained me so much! as for stories, I submitted one in General fics called A Corner Of The Universe. I\'ll post on my profile when it\'s up.



Perfect for Each Other? by Lilypudding

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Lily Evans has a crush on a certain Gryffindor in her year, and his name isn't James Potter. Find out what happens when Lily, with the help of her best friends Andromeda and Alice, try to get Sirius to go on a date with her. But are they perfect for each other? Only time will tell. See how Lily got over a girlish crush and met the true man of her dreams. This fic was moved from the Marauder Era. COMPLETE!
Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 04/05/06 Title: Chapter 1: Dreams and Diaries

It's so funny, because in your Author's Profile you apologize for "flaming" people (or something like that), but the review you gave me was so sweet! I feel very flattered. Anyhooo... why am I here? Oh yes, because I'm supposed to be reviewing your story: very good job!! I like that you show the other, less confident, side of Lily. It makes me like her so much more! I hope to be able to read your other chapters soon, when I have the time. Great job! 10/10

Author's Response: Thanks for the review, flying_garden_gnome... I wrote that in my profile a very long time ago, before realizing that constructive crit was socially acceptable on Mugglenet, unlike some other sites. Thanks for the compliments- characterization isn't my strong point, and I'm glad you said you liked how I characterized Lily. Thanks for the review again!



Bruno Schmidt by Leahr

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Have you ever read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, by Newt Scamander? If you have, you just might remember a small paragraph under Erklings, where we learned of a young boy named Bruno Schmidt. No longer relegated merely to a glancing mention, this is his story.

Bruno Schmidt lived in Karstbaum, a small town in Europe which conceals many secrets. Magic in Karstbaum is always kept completely under wraps in all circumstances, although no one seems to know why. Bruno's life is about to change, more than he ever thought possible. Will Bruno's bravery get him safely through all the obstacles he will soon face? I have begun- wait with patience.
Reviewer: flying_garden_gnome Signed
Date: 05/14/06 Title: Chapter 1: Feeding the Chickens

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for reviewing my story, so I came to check out yours. I am pleased to say (as I hate leaving bad reviews) that I really like this a lot! It is a very intriguing idea, using a character that none of us really know at all, because there can be many more twists and turns in this character's past. Speaking of which, I'm dying to find out what has happened to make Bruno such an odd 8-year old (the low voice, etc.) I love the way you put such detail into everything you describe (from the bucket swinging in his hands to the clearing of his dishes), and wonder if perhaps you could put a bit more of that into your dialogue. I hope you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism, but some of it seems a bit spare and unrealistic (mainly when Brunhilda talks.) Overall, this was a very strong and well-written first chapter and it makes me want to read the next chapters as soon as possible! I really hope this review was helpful, and that you don't get bummed by the lack of reviews. :)
