Terrorists... Death Eaters... Deadheads... same thing. Let's hope Jerry Garcia (God rest his soul) isn't rolling over in his grave. Very funny.
OK, girls don't share their panties. A bra, maybe, but I never have. Panties, that's just not done. Ew.
As for the story, it was very good. I figured out basically what Harry was up to as soon as the letter went to Gabrielle and her parents, but I had a knot in my stomach the entire time waiting for it to get ugly. You created some delicious tension. I'm glad Harry and Ginny didn't have a big fight before getting back together. Ginny let him off easy even if she understood his motivations. He could've filled her in on the plan, after all. I know. For the sake of realism, she probably should've been in the dark. Still, he obviously didn't want Ginny to hate him as evidenced byt the note with the earrings. He's lucky he wasn't cursed by the entire Weasley clan. I liked your take on Gabrielle, and I do think we'll see her fawning a bit over Harry in Book 7. This was a great plot and a lot of fun to read in that impending doom sort of way.

I have two daughters - they steal each other's underwear. End of discussion - although I know it's a big boundaries for most women.
The story wouldn't have worked if Harry had told Ginny what he was going to do - and afterwards - well, he needed some distance.

Well, as always you have been amazing!
Only 2 problems: 1: "Motoring to Little Whinging was calming" we say driving; and 2: it's lounge not parlour.
Other than that, you rock |

I really enjoyed your story. Your writing is very good and a pleasure to read. However, after I finished I kept wondering what would Harry have done if Ginny never "figured it out?" He obviously cares for her a great deal to go to so much trouble to keep her safe, that said, would he have let her continue to think it was all real? If he really cares for her could he allow her to hurt so much. Or, was he testing her to see how well she knows him? I can understand the need to keep it from her beforehand in order to keep it real and secret, but why afterward? His behavior was so cruel to her (flaunting his new fling in front of her family) I can't imagine he would just continue on with his life with her thinking so ill of him??? Perhaps I overanalyze, but I really did love the story. |

I love your take on Gabrielle, That was fun. I really liked this story.
*Maybe she wouldn’t have to castrate him after all* - funniest phrase in fanfiction ever.

| Sorry. I'm not sure what yegish means, I just made it up. But I meant that the beginning was . . . maybe a bit slow, and confusing if you didn't know what was going on yet. But I liked it! ^^ Hope I elucidated enough. Good job over-all! |

Wow. That was awesome! The beginning was a tiny bit ... yegish... but I still loved it. Gabbi and Ginny had nice chemistry, and it was really believable that they would be friends. And I liked the ending as well. ^^ Great job, and I'm off to start the sequel! xD |

Thank you, I really liked this. I absolutely loved LOS, as well and look forward to new fiction from you! Wondered why in your AN you said you hadn't planned on any new fiction based on HBP?
Well, anyway, thanks. |
Kokopelli Saturday 12th November 2005 08:10 | Maskirova (Author Response) |
| I wasn't too keen on HBP.

along these lines in the last book- This is a wonderful
portrayal! Can't wait to read the sequel!

| Wonderful story - thanks for sharing!!!! Concerning your comments in the author's notes about this being a little bit Slytherin - yes, but something like that just may be what Harry will need to survive and if anyone can pull it off, it will be Hermione (Rita Skeeter in a bottle anyone?). I loved Gabbi - she was very well done. I also liked the little tidbit about the earrings being what Harry thought about Ginny and Gabby and that Ginny's earrings turned out to be platinum rather than the silver Gabby thought they were! Too cute! |
Kokopelli Saturday 12th November 2005 08:12 | Maskirova (Author Response) |
| Yeah, Hermione, at least OotP Hermione, is very Slytherin. As to
Gabbi, I love her madly, but I'm having trouble thinking up a plot
where she'd fit.

| What I'd give to see this one continue. It's difficult for me to
actually like the H/G relationship, but this hit the spot. Guess
I had too many bad run ins with reds ...

wow...one helluva long one-shot...
but a great story nonetheless. the plot was very ingriguing, and it was very well paced and written.
the way you developed "Gabbi"'s and Ginny's friendship was very effective, but i thought the story sort of emotionally flattened out towards the end...
it seemed to me like you got impatient with the story after the climax ended, and you just wanted to wrap it up...haha.
in any case, it was very well done, and i hope to see more post-HBP fics from u!! |

Nice story, but i'd like to make some remarks.
1st: Gabrielle's age. She looked no older than eight at the second
task, that means febr, the 24th, 1995. In July of 1997 she couldn't be
13 or 14.
2nd Mum in french would be maman, not mama. ( It's not italian or spanish).

I had no time to read when this was posted, so I've been sort of saving up reading it since then. It was certainly worth the wait, as I enjoyed it hugely. As always, your touch with Hermione -- and her relationship with Harry -- was quite adept. I really enjoyed seeing you bring the Delacours to life. Each of them was well developed; especially Gabbi. Thanks as well for having Ginny figure out what happenned on her own. I think that was key to the success of this story.
I'm not sure that I find the deception too devious for Harry and Hermione to have developed. They might have been better inspired by Sun Tzu or Liddell Hart than Clausewitz in plotting their ruse, but they are going to have to practise dissimilitude if they hope to win. I foung your title very apt; victories must be won in an opponent's mind before they can be won on the field.
Thanks for sharing this with us. I hope you work again in the new canon. I've always liked your thoughtful approach to these stories and I think that the situation as HBP ends requires just that kind of treatment. |
Kokopelli Saturday 8th October 2005 04:12 | Maskirova (Author Response) |
I love writing Hermione's POV. Face it, I just love the
girl. Any time she wants to swap places with my daughter, that's
ok with me. Gabbi was a blast - I just wish I had another story
for her, but I don't. As to Clausewitz, every warrior must start there,
then move on to the more subtle stuff like Sun Tzu.
I have a very short piece that I'm writing right now that follows HBP
after Maskirova. Real life is not terribly conducive to writing,
so I'm shlepping my laptop on the train to get in 20-30 minutes of
writing, five days a week.
Thanks again for your kind words.

Very enjoyable story - I am really enjoying the interactions between
your group of very skilled writers, yourself, jeconais (Tim), Dorothy
and Keith McComb, Bob and Alyx, Brian McCrary. I enjoyed the 2
chapters of Hope posted thus far, and got a hint of the same flavoring
during the story, it was nice to have yoru confirmation at the end
Thanks for your work - I typically prefer those stories directed at a
more mature audience, but the quality and clarity of your writing
certainly amkes up for the rest.
Warmest regards
Ken
