Ron cracks me up. I wonder how Fred and George will react...I think that'll be the funniest!
YOu're doing a wonderful job on this story and I love your stylie, not too much dialogue, not too much feelings, it's balanced and I love that!
I can't believe he asked them to have sex!! I love this story and this is cracking me up!
wow.
Lordy do those two ever stay out of trouble?
ACK!! What did Ron say to Hermione that pissed her off so freaking badly? I love love love love love this story. You're just such a talented writer!
Aww. Don't let ROn and Hermione be broken up or something. I love your stories!!
hi, i egt the feeling im missing something, is this part of a series or a sequel or something?
Author's Response: Part of a series, but it should be able to be read independently. Start off with 'Carpe Diem' if you want the beginning!
as i siad before i love your story
youre an amazing writer
keep it up:8
Author's Response: Thank you :) I'm trying to keep churning the chapters out :)
OMG THIS IS GREAT!!!!!!!!
Oh gosh, this story was wonderful!!
This story is tense! Lol... Anyways :P
soooo, ive been reading the stories. and so far they are GREAT! im looking foward to reading the others. finished this one *points* ON TO THE NEXT! hehe
"If anyone ends up reading the whole thing through again, I'm interested in what you make of it as a whole story, and I'm impressed at your persistence in reading all that again!"
I just finished reading everything up to now again and will be continuing along this wondeful peice of fiction you've created. The emotions in here are so real and tangible that it's impossible not to feel the hope, pain and sorrow that you've put Harry and Ginny through. This story has just enough from the past stories to link them without it seeming like the plot doesn't continue. This is simply amazing.
I read it after finishing Alpha and Omega and figured that I would take you up on your request for a review. I didn’t know about the story when you first started it and was able to read it from start-to-finish over a couple of nights. I've take a few days since then so I could let it all get processed before giving you my 2 pence.
~ Truly beautiful!
From the opening paragraph you did a great job of immediately capturing the reader’s attention with a tense scene by using a piece of canon (Harry’s dreams) to help us fall into familiarity with JKR’s stories. Your reference regarding Ginny’s scar and sharing a link with Harry made my head shake as I realized I have to go and read Carpe Diem now. :) No worries there, I’m looking forward to it. I continued with the ‘hope’ that you would spell it out in this story like good authors do; I was not disappointed. (Nicely done by the way)
I enjoy the way you start off each chapter with a fresh idea on another train of thought but then bring it back to the portion of the plot that you had focused on in the previous chapter. It’s kind of teasing a little because I’m sure everyone wants you to jump right back where you left off but you kind of string it along a little. Like the start of Ch. 19. Colin felt the baby and they were freaking out at the end of Ch. 18 and then you kind of start 19 with frustrated Harry trying to concentrate on school work. I know I was like, “What the hell?” at first, but then you transitioned nicely back to Colin being cornered.
Of course only you can confirm it for me but I have the feeling that as you write your stories, other plots for different adventures form and you are graced with the ability to put them down into well conveyed stories. It seems to me that you have a continuing path for the Potter family that any number of adventures could take place. The concept of this particular story was fantastic and endearing. Many other writers have given H&G a child or children but the series of fics and stories (Yes, I consider these works stories) that you have created have a poignant quality; I can tell that they have become a part of you and perhaps you’ve put some of yourself into them in various ways. What I have read so far is well crafted and thoughtfully sequenced. I cannot say that I have gotten choked up like I have with scenes from other stories that I have read but I can honestly say that what I have read of yours so far, maintains the same quality over the length of the tale.
I hope that you can understand what I am trying to explain. Reading your stories is like eating a fresh apple. Each bite or portion is crisp and enjoyable. Unlike other apples where about only half of the bites are enjoyable and the other half or so are good but, not as good as those great bites.
Anyway… I’ve probably rambled long enough. I don’t want to take up too much of you time so you can keep up with A Penseive Affair and Home is Where the Heart Is. I enjoy giving feedback for great effort, especially in cases like yours where the stories are so well done.
Thank you, for sharing them with all of us and I look forward to reading more.
We LOVED this one, as well! Even though Liv & I sort of read them backwards, but oh well, they were all REALLY good. You're a really wonderful writer!
~Morgs & Liv <3
Would you believe that I came across this story from Robert Ownes attempt to fill in the gaps of sixth year? Excellent story, by the way. obviously, I haven't reached the end of this one yet, but I find myself strongly hoping that it isn't a "Harry, I was wrong" "That's okay, chum" sort of making up between them. Ron is so far out of line that it's not funny. For that matter, Hermione should cut him off from her affections for a time, until he comes to his senses Then again, I'm a vindictive SOB, I am *laugh* I look forward to seeing what you've done with this story..
After almost 2 years of not reading any HP fanfic at all (I somehow drifted away after OotP came out and the Gryffindor Tower site ceased exisiting), I suddenly had this urge for some good old Harry/Ginny romance, and so I've been rereading Carpe Diem and Alpha and Omega over the weekend. It still amazes me how truly beautiful and inspired these two stories are, and in a few moments, I will go on to read the next installment in this series, but I just wanted to let you know how much I love this series and your writing. It incorporates the best of what I love about this ship, and reminds me of the time when I first ventured into the big sprakly world of fan fiction and found a wealth of talented authors just waiting to be read at the click of a mouse. Just one tiny question. I dimly remember that there were also some adult-rated outtakes to this story, either on your site or the Hearthrug. Do they still exist and is there any way for me to read them again? Love, akinaj
I just finished reading the whole thing through in about a week and I loved it!!!!!!! I read Carpe Diem last week, after seeing some artwork on it at Phoenixsong. I've also read most of Home is Where the Heart Is and I'm wondering when you're going to update that?? Wonderful story.
I just want to thank you for writing this. I'm sorry for not reviewing earlier, when I first read it (although I suppose you wouldn't have known that) - I've been thinking about the story constantly, and only just realized that I had completely forgotten to leave at least some token of appreciation. This story - well, really the universe you've created in this and the others - is amazing. The quantity and depth of the feelings you evoke with your words is unparalleled in other fanfiction (and books) I've read. I find myself constantly thinking about love, war, courage in terms of the events in your stories. Perhaps I was especially affected by these stories because I'm a teenager (15, to be exact, and only just). Harry's and Ginny's journeys towards maturity were very well-portrayed, and I felt like I was experiencing every struggle and "first" with them. Anyway, THANK YOU!!! Your writing has brought magic to my life, even if I'm destined to live as a muggle. ^^ I know I'm going to be rereading this a lot.
