PhoenixSong.net :: A Harry/Ginny Fanfic and Fanart Archive

xD Hello! I saw your name on the "Latest Stories" list and I was like "HOLY KANOLE! It's my super-de-duper Beta lady!!" ^^ Heh, my sister asked me if I got a fish (Beta...). Anyway, I loved it! n.n Oh, but the part with the thunderstorms? I could picture him shaking on his little bed all scared and locked in the stupid cupboard! Darn Dursleys... *scowls* And the baby was such an adorable touch, and the Sunrise!! ^^ I mean, sometimes people compare sunrises to Ginny's hair but this seemed more... natural and emotional... I dunno. And the part where he was begging her not to die! Oh, so horrible! :( But so wonderful at the same time when she answered. Phew! *wipes forehead* Great job! Now I feel all apprentice-y.

"Oh yeah? Well my Beta is Dancing In Magic and she wrote My Sunrise , the most bomb diggity fanfiction in the history of ever! " *sticks out tongue*

Yes... because I get into "whose Beta is better?" fights with people all the time...

Anyway, brilliant job! *applauds* Can't wait for more! xD

That was lovely! I really liked the image of Ginny as the sunrise- very simple but effective. This fits in beautifully with the canon Harry and Ginny, and their relationship. As I said the voice was very Harry- ish- the part about Harry hating storms after being in his cupboard made me wanna cry. Poor guy. Great stuff!

Thank you. Being in canon and making you want to cry... those are the greatest compliments you can pay me about this little piece, as it was exactly what I was going for. Most of the canon credit can go to Tante, however, who kept me in line.

Yay Phonebook!

T'is LRW (Ameh!) here...that was so good...I loved it! It was simple, yet it said everything it needed to...I guess I'm into this sort of style at the moment...

Very sweet, and very touching!

Love Amy!

Congratulations on your first story. It is exciting and nervewracking isn't it!
I loved this inside look into the working of Harry's brain. His insecurities are always evident "Am I doing the right thing?" and he really has had such a poor example of early family life from the Dursleys. I believe that there would be many times in his life that he would be lacking in confidence, especially when his "greatest source of comfort" and strength is about to go through childbirth.
Well done and all the best for any future stories.

Very exciting! It makes it all the hacking and slashing worthwhile to see my name on the Latest Stories list.

You're right, the Dursleys have influenced how he feels about having a family. He's not really sure what to do, but he's determined his child will never be lacking in love.

Thanks for the nice review.

Hey kiddo! Great job, I knew you could do it. This was a wonderfully touching looking into what might be for Harry. Heaven knows he deserves a little happiness and love.

Super job!

I'd act highly affronted at that "kiddo" remark, but I reckon I'll let you get away with it. :P Thanks for reviewing.

Very nice, fluffy and warm, and wonderfully simple. Like Harry, he's not the guy who paints sunrises with his words, is he? Not yet, at least. Straight forward, no curves. In short, it feels rather canon, and the last part, that shows the contact between him and Ginny is wonderful. She knows him so well, she just knows. And the baby... *grin* nice touch. I do want them to have a future together.

Thanks!

Thank you! :) There was a difficult moment in there, but we managed to remind Harry that he's not at all inclined to wax poetic. Once we'd explained the situation, he took it quite well.

Yes, she just knows. She'll help him heal.

Thanks for the lovely review!

::waves to Gov as well:: Glad you did submit it! It feels a bit raw, as if Harry hadn't healed yet, but maybe he hasn't.

No, he certainly hasn't, but give him time. He's getting there. His Sunrise will do all she can to help him. She understands.

One more thing...I'm glad the Gov encouraged you to push the "Submit" button. We would have missed out on a very nice story if you hadn't shown your Gryffindor (?) mettle!

What a lovely one-shot. I love seeing these glimpses into Harry's head and you've out-done yourself: I can see what he sees as his lifeline, his Sunrise, his hope through your descriptive words. Well done! By the way, my husband can't stand thunderstorms either and I had to smile at the fact that Harry just barely tolerates them just as he does. This is a story I'm going to visit quite often.

Thanks. I know I've done it well if people want to come back to it! It was very important to me that his Sunrise was enough to keep him going through the war, that she gave him hope.

Yep, I'm a Gryffindor. I thought I'd be a Ravenclaw - Hermione-ish tendancies - but quizzes say otherwise. Still, won't know til I find the Sorting Hat, will I?

I really liked the idea of listening in to Harry's thoughts rather than just straight narrative. You've illustrated a warmly intimate moment in their marriage and show just how great they are for each other.

I know it's hard to write from Harry's point of view because he doesn't wax eloquent. There are many times we want to thump him upside the head so he'll tell us what he's thinking/feeling. Sadly, he's not a poet warrior. He's simple and straightforward. You did a great job keeping him in canon.

And, you were a total doll to work with as we got your story ready to archive. You deserve all these lovely reviews and many more.
