| It's a very beautiful story! And very true to how a lot of young girls think and feel. The interactions between Ginny and Teddy were so adorable. I loved it, can't wait to read more of your writings. |

Oh--I forgot to add, the other story that I've written that is most similar in style to this is 'Making Lemonade'--and perhaps 'This Wish' (though it isn't in first person). Both are H/G snippets.
My other completed stories are written in third person and Neville focused.
Enjoy! |

| I love this story! It's so true to life, so knowing, and told from the perspective of Ginny, it somehow brings us closer to her as a character. Great writing. I know it was only a one-shot but her deliberation and arguments both ways about having children seem so natural. She seems to consider it across years of time, but all in the span of a few minutes. You did such a good job of writing that aspect of the plot. The feel of the story is so peaceful and serene that I felt a little better about life at the end. It seems as if things just run indefinitely into the future, no worries, no cares, just you and the one you love. Beautiful story, thanks so much for sharing it! |

Ah, thank you! I built this story off of a feeling. It's that feeling you have when first engaged--that feeling that anything is possible, everything lies at your feet, and the world is yours to be had. Hope -- hopeful -- expectant. All of it. That sort of serenity that flows from being overwhelmingly content. Anyway. It was interesting to explore. And being that I chose to write it in first person, I really had to understand where Ginny was coming from in order to get her right, capture the right flow, and make it all work. I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much.
I love exploring these characters--particularly in short snippets--there's such a wealth there.
Thank you so much for reading! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it. |

| Very nice --and subtle-- exploration of changing perspective and priorities. Nice interactions between H/G. Well done! |

Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. It was fun to explore all the relationships and how they might have changed or developed. I'm also glad that you enjoyed the interaction between H/G at the end--that is my favorite part.
Thank you for reading! |

You know how much I love this story and how proud that I am that you and it have been nominated in the Best of 2008, but I just wanted to read it again and love it some more.
Ginny is so receptive to Molly's comments about how she once felt just as she does now-
I feel disgruntled, bothered, and a bit like my own little world has tilted onto its end. Questions bubble up under my skin, itching under the surface. I never want children, but my mum—the mother of all mothers—how can it be that she was once like me? Is it possible to feel so strongly about something one moment and then change on a Sickle a moment later? No, it can’t be…but yet…
Perfect! |

*HUGS YOU*
Thank you, Kate. I'm so glad that you *still* enjoy this story, even after as many times as you've had to read it for various reasons. I'm thrilled that it came out as well as it did, and that it successfully captured the characters that you adore so much. That means more than anything to me.
Thank you, again. And *more hugs*! |

Beatiful.
Ginny's thoughts on children are something I've wondered about. I think you did a great job nailing them down. That she wouldn't want children at first but then realize that maybe someday later she might... perfect. When she said at first that she didn't ever plan on having children I thought 'poor Harry,' Harry, who never wanted anything more than family. I didn't think that was exactly fair, but Ginny is still so young in this it was entirely fitting.
Great work.
(Teddy is adoreable!) |

I'm thrilled that you liked this--and that you found all of its varied elements 'fitting'. Ginny is such a strong character that I can see her opinions being definite (on any issue) until she has some sort of eye-opening moment. Much like she had with Fleur -- not liking her, until that moment in the hospital ward where she this sudden moment of change. In fact, actually, I bet a lot of people are like Ginny.
Anyway.
Thanks for reading! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. |

| How overwhelmingly delightful. I do not particularly like reading stories in the first person but this one shot was well-written. |
