Blindsided by Angel
Rated: MA18+ • 1 Reviews
Summary: “We need to talk, Shannon.” Derek spoke softly as he entered the living room. I was still stretching out languidly having just finished my daily yoga routine. What I didnt know was that statement would change my life.
Date: 08/06/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Oh.My.God. This is my story. The one I haven't been able to write myself, but so vividly describes the pain I felt. The only difference being that I don't do yoga, and my "Derek" waited until we'd been married 11 years and we had 2 children to finally realize I wasn't the one for him. My Lynn and Sarah would be my sister and my best friend, without whom I don't know if I'd have made it through. I don't cry easily, and I can't seem to stop right now.
He had been so important to me for so long I didn’t know how to be me without him.
and
I had been completely blindsided and had had no chance at arguing my side. Who was he to decide my fate? What right does he have to destroy my life and saunter out of here leaving me with nothing but memories of our love? And memories of our relationship were all around me- pictures of the two of us and mementos of our relationship surrounded me. I couldn’t breath. Everywhere I looked was a pain filled reminder of what I had just lost. Or rather, not what I had lost, but of what had been cruelly ripped away from me.
Both of those resonate so fully with me. This whole piece does really. Thank you for this. It's rather cathartic...I haven't been able to write about it myself yet, but reading this is almost as good.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for this review, ginwannabe. First of all I am sorry that you had to go through that, no one should have to. And I am sorry that I made you cry *hands tissue* but it really means alot to me that the story resonated so deeply with you. It is a story that was not easy to write but to know that it felt real and raw to those who read ...its what I hope for when people read my work. *Hugs Ginwannabe* Thank you so much!

Oooh...Marissa! This was very good, and the review doesn't even count ;o). I love the way you describe the way she falls into him and their hands brush against one another. Very cool!

Dobby Lives On - The Sock Story by Elena

Merry Christmas Jessi :) Fabulous banner by Blue_Suede_Shoes at SAYS.
The night of Christmas Eve, Harry is called into his sons room to tell them a story before bed. Wanting to hear something about Christmas, Harry tells them a tale unlike any other and remembers an old friend.
Date: 11/02/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Dobby Lives On - The Sock Story
How sweet is James for helping Albus to believe? And *sigh* I cried so hard when Dobby died. What a brave little elf. I loved the whole story, Dobby, Santa, the socks. I loved the way the boys interjected into the story. I could picture and hear it all in my head. Well done!
Watching History Unfold by Angel
Rated: GA • 1 ReviewsSummary: Archibald Connelly had spent many years working in bars and inns across the country and had learned long ago how to read people. In fact, watching those he was serving was something that he had always enjoyed. He could learn much from people just by studying them in a casual setting like a darkened pub. Most people saw the lowly barkeep as a confidant of sorts, allowing their guard down and telling him their secrets after a few shots of fire whiskey. Archie was careful to keep the information to himself, content in the knowledge that he was one of the few people around who knew almost everything that was going on around him.
Date: 13/06/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Wow...this is bloody brilliant! What a vivid explanation, and totally realistic, as to how the sorting hat came to be. I loved little Archie, building the Hog's Head and watching history unfold. And the description of putting the spell on the hat, I could see that in my head. And I love how you have Rowena being the manipulator, but in a good way. Bravo!
Author's Response: Seriously...you are like my favourite person ever...thank you for your reviews! You have no idea how much it means to me that you enjoy my stories. This story was written for a writers duel on hpff and came in second place. I worked really hard on it and am glad that you liked it. Thanks again*Hugs!*

Oh, I'm so glad this isn't the way the story really ended. I like how you keep us guessing as to who has died, though. It could have been Ron, but I also like how you have her grief be because she lost her friend, her brother, and NOT her love. Very well done.
I Saw Mum Snogging Father Christmas by Gubby
Rated: R15+ • 2 Reviews Summary: ... and that's the least of poor Victoire's problems this very odd Christmas Eve. The problems, you ask? Firstly, she has to deal with the entirety of the Weasley clan at the Burrow. Her cousins won't stop bothering her. And suddenly, she swoons over Teddy Lupin. And, of course - she sees her mum snogging Father Christmas.
Joyeux Noel to you, too.
Date: 26/08/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Why Frederick Septimus Weasley Will Die
Gosh, I loved reading this story again! This was my first Gubby story to ever read (before I even knew who Gubby was) AND my first Next-Gen, and it's still makes me laugh out loud! I love Victoire's sarcasm, I love that she suddenly discovers that Teddy is "fit", I love the characterization of all the Next-Gen kids. This is still one of my favorites of yours!
Brotherhood of the Travelling Hot Pants by Angel
Rated: R15+ • 5 Reviews Summary: Teen Witch Weekly states that hot pants are the latest fashion for young up and coming witches! When Ginny and Hermione shed their school robes for something a little more fashionable -- Hogwarts becomes Hot Pants Crazed.Through a series of mishaps the hot pants make their way through the students and staff at Hogwarts. Will the girls ever get their beloved shorts back? Co-written by JaxGranger
Date: 11/06/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Revealed
LMAO! I love that Dobby thinks the pants are his and Winky's! The reactions of all the boys...so typical of teenage boys. I'm surprised that none of the teachers...Snape especially, didn't have something to say about them not wearing their school robes, though. But where would the fun be in that? ;o)
Author's Response: Hehehe this story is one of my favourites...simply because of its origin. Such a ridiculous idea that ended up becoming something so fun. Jax is simply an amazing and talented writer...and insanely funny so writing with her is easy and always fun. Hopefully someday soon we can actually finish this but our lives have been busy so who knows what will happen. I will say we have at least 2 more chapters planned for this story.
Date: 12/06/2008 Title: Chapter 2: Deperate House-Elves
Dumbledore Underoos!! OMG, that's brilliantly hilarious! I was chuckling from the moment that Harry & Ron went down to the kitchens, and laughed outright when Harry showed up with Underoos (I had Wonder Woman, btw, my cousins had Batman and Superman and we used to run around the farm in our underwear...ahhhh, the memories). I laughed so hard I had tears coming down when Winky started talking with the picture of Dumbledore on her bum. Oh, I can't wait to see what happens with Malfoy and Goyle.
Author's Response: Ahh yes the Underoos.... Honestly I dont remember who came up with that one but I do remember laughing hysterically as we wrote it. And Winky talking to Dumbledore was my absolute favourite moment in this story. I couldnt type for ages after we came up with that. Thanks again for your reviews!
Date: 12/06/2008 Title: Chapter 3: Hello...Evil
This is one of the funniest, if not completely far fetched (but isn't that what makes it funny) stories I've ever read. The visual of Draco and Goyle trying to put the hot pants on is one that is now burned into my brain, lol.
Author's Response: Ahh yes..this story is definitely far fetched..lol ...it is simple insanity but we had fun with it. If anyone is looking for a canon story...they should just keep looking because nothing about this story fits with that LOL It is just craziness..but we just wanted to make people laugh even half as much as we did when we wrote it. I'm glad you are enjoying it!
Date: 12/06/2008 Title: Chapter 4: Too Much Revealed
Oh my goodness...just the thought of Dumbledore and Snape wearing those hot pants is hysterical. I'm so tired thought, I don't think I can read the last chapter tonight. I'll read it in the morning though. I loved how Pansy and Millie took the horror of everyone to be admiration at first. Typical. Too funny.
Author's Response: With this chapter we took great pains to mirror it to the first chapter. But with a totally different outcome. I think my favourite moment in this chapter was the Neville scene...I literally cried when we were writing it. Thanks again for your wonderful reviews!
Date: 12/06/2008 Title: Chapter 5: Costume Catastrophe
Oh, you must update this story very quickly, please. I have to know what Fred and George are going to do with the hot pants now. The visual of Dumbledore in all of his hot pants glory and Snape in all his hot pants horror still has me giggling. I love how somehow Ginny and Hermione seem to always miss the escapades of their pants while the rest of the school has front row seats, lol. Please finish this story!
Author's Response: Fred and George + Hot pants = .... well more craziness. We have half of the next chapter written but unfortunately life has gotten a little crazy for both Jax and I so it may be a while before we can get it finished. But we adore this story so I am sure that it will get done someday! Thanks for you sweet reviews ginwannabe, you are amazing!!!
The Hunt by Angel
Rated: MA18+ • 1 ReviewsSummary: Jason Hanson once had it all - a fast track career with the Washington Post, beautiful wife, two loving children, a dog named Chester and even a lovely home in the suburbs. But times have changed...he now works for The Exploiter. Instead of politics and social commentaries, he now reports on vampires and aliens.
Date: 10/06/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Oh...you got me! I was thinking poor Jason was the werewolf, what with the insomnia and irritablity. The chief...didn't see that coming. I enjoy your original stuff very much, I hope you're pursuing a career in writing, you're quite talented.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for this review! I actually had fun writing this one. It was a tough one but t was a Christmas present so I wanted it to be perfect.
And I am actually in the second draft phase of writing a novel with my friend and roommate. Its a story that we both love a great deal and are working extrememly hard on. Thank you for your reviews and your support I really appreciate it!!
Life in the Cellar by Angel
Rated: R15+ • 2 ReviewsSummary: Attending a family wedding is every single, thirtysomething woman's nightmare, but when you add an overbearing mother to the mix, it ceases to be just a nightmare. Welcome to Dayna Matthews' personal Hell.
Date: 12/06/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
I really do enjoy your original fiction. You're a great storyteller. I hope you will continue on with this story. I'd like to see more of it. I liked how both Dayna and the bride were escaping from their mothers in the bathroom. And Jamie seems like a good guy. Do I sense a romance in the air, despite his poor fashion sense? Please post more.
Author's Response: This story has now got a plot outline in my head and i think it is actually going to take a different turn from where it started. Unfortunately I had a great clear image in my head for chapter 1 but then it disappated and I was left with this and nothing else. After some hard thinking and plotting ... I am hoping to continue it and I am thrilled that you like it.
A Boy, his Wife to be and his Mistress by Elena
Rated: MA18+ • 3 Reviews Summary:
Fabulous Banner by Violet at SAYS *huggle* Sometimes in life, the wrong thing to do can seem so right. There is no justification with cheating in a relationship, yet it happens for reasons that can't be explained. Here is one story that puts characters in this situation.
Date: 31/05/2008 Title: Chapter 1: A Boy, his Wife to be and his Mistress
Ok...first off, you know I'm not a Draco/Hermione fan. That said, I can sympathize in a way about doing something reckless as a respite from always having to do the right thing and be perfect. I guess my biggest thought about the story is, if Draco loves Pansy so much (which I have a hard time seeing him be able to be affectionate with anyone) how is it that he's not hurt by her admission that she knows what he's doing and doesn't care? I would think that means that she really only cares about what he can do for her, status wise, and she's more concerned with appearances than their relationship. Oh well, what's to understand...it's Draco and Pansy...and Hermione, lol. "how is it that he's not hurt by her admission that she knows what he's doing and doesn't care?" Because what he's doing isn't about love. If Pansy loved Draco, why would she stick around, knowing that he's cheating on her? I've put these characters in a situation that they shouldn't even be in...There is no justification on either side for the cheating...Only trying to give an insight as to why such things occur. It doesn't always make sense and sometimes there are no reasons or right/wrong reactions...Sometimes the sitiuation just is, and the why's, how's and other questions are never answered. Lastly, I find it amusing that you can't see Draco ever being affectionate about anyone. He's not much unlike Harry or Ron, just raised differently. He still has feelings, he was scared for his family and knowing that it was on his shoulders if they lived or died...showing that he DOES have a heart...He just had to walk the walk instead of Talk the talk. The difference being that we saw Harry do this at 11, where Draco did this at 16...Also, we never got to see Draco the way we did Harry, as the stories ARE about Harry and not Draco and written from Harry's POV. No, Draco wasn't a nice person, but he does have a heart.

Oooh...well done, Marissa! You kept me guessing as to who you were writing about until the very end (although knowing you, I had an inkling ;o). You took those simple three words and did amazing things with them. Really well done.
Carousel by Gubby
Rated: MA18+ • 3 ReviewsSummary: It's Victoire Weasley's seventeenth birthday, and Fred Weasley's eighteenth deathday. But which matters more - the living or the dead? Written in response to andharrywokeup's Victoire's Birthday challenge at SAYS.
Date: 26/08/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Carousel
A carousel as a metaphor for life. No one knows how long the ride will be, but it's up to you to enjoy the ride. You can sit there mindlessly going 'round in circles, or you can go on great adventures and battle mighty foes.
I think that the Weasleys would probably be okay eventually, and would focus more on the life that came when Victoire was born rather than the one that was lost in the battle. I adore the imagery in this story though, it's just beautiful.
Finding Love by Elena
Rated: R15+ • 6 Reviews Summary:
Fabulous banner by Violet at SAYS! Dark times were ahead of them, a war was fast approaching, but for one young couple, they knew how to find a way to survive it and find love.

Oh, that was beautiful! You wrote the pain everyone felt with such detail, I felt it, too. I love that it was Lily that proposed, after all the years of begging her to go out with him, she was the one to beg him to marry her. What a lovely twist. I loved it all!

In the Muggle town of Newberry, veterinarian, Emilia Reynolds, is mystified by a sudden streak of dog killings. When Charlie Weasley comes into town to try to capture the unknown threat, both of them learn more about life and love than they ever expected.
Date: 16/05/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Killings
I read this chapter over on HPFF ages ago...but I never got back to the story. I'm determined to catch up on it now, but it's late and I'm tired. As for this chapter, I enjoyed the way you have set up the beginning of this. The character introductions while not terribly in depth give us a glimpse into these people that we'll be reading about and make me want to find out more about them. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this story, and I promise, I won't abandon it this time.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for coming back to this! I\'m glad you like the beginning so far. The characters personalities will come out a lot more in future chapters. This is more like an introduction to the scenery and all and like you said, just a glimpse into the characters. I appreciate you taking the time to read and review! :)
Date: 17/05/2008 Title: Chapter 2: Newberry Animal Hospital
I'm sure this is just a typo, but Dogs were not natural predators of Hungarian Horntails, that should be prey, right?
I like how you have this tension between the two, I do hope that it'll ease up soon, though and that Emilia will start to feel more comfortable with Charlie. Charlie never really seemed the quiet type to me either. I'm anxious to see where you take these two.
Author's Response: Yeah, I swear I fixed that already, but I guess not. Someone just pointed it out to me on HPFF too.. I guess I\'ll go back to fix it - thanks for pointing it out. The relationship between the two is quite interesting, as I\'m sure you\'ve figured out by now. Thank you so much for all of your reviews.. I appreciate them and I will eventually catch up on responding to all of them!
Date: 18/05/2008 Title: Chapter 3: The Date
Talia seems nice, but I want to see Charlie and Emilia together.
I know that he's in a muggle town, but within the confines of his hotel room or the forest, couldn't he use a little magic? Change the color of his shirt, save the dogs? Of course, I'm sure that having to watch one of the dogs die is pivotal to the plot, just thinking out loud.
And the black and tan dog that he did save...was that the one we saw Emilia give the shot to in the last chapter? I can't remember his name, but I'm intrigued. Off to read more.
Author's Response: Yeah, Talia is a nice girl, but it is more about Charlie and Emilia\'s relationship. She adds a dramatic effect though. I guess Charlie could use a bit of magic, but changing the color of his shirt isn\'t really that big of a deal to him in comparison to everything else. He didn\'t want to use magic to save the dog yet, as that would announce his presence to the dragon and he wasn\'t ready for that yet. He just needed to observe.\r\n\r\nYes, that black and tan dog was Bailey.. the one from before. I couldn\'t kill off a character that was already knonw. :) Thanks so much for the review!
Date: 18/05/2008 Title: Chapter 4: Missing Pieces
I was right...the dog Charlie saved was Bailey. I loved that you have Charlie experiencing some hearing loss. That's not something that would have occurred to me, but of course being around a dragon's roar would cause damage. And where's Harry and his Firebolt when there's a Hungarian Horntail protecting her egg, lol?
Author's Response: Thanks.. I\'m glad you liked the hearing loss thing. I just got into the perspective and realized that would probably be a disadvantage to being a dragon healer. He has scars already.. I\'m sure he\'s been through flames before. Hehe.. that\'s funny you mention the Firebolt because that may be coming up later.. :) Thanks again for the review!
Date: 18/05/2008 Title: Chapter 5: Home
Brilliant for Charlie to Apparate home. And I loved seeing the Trio wanting a new adventure. I'm sure they're thrilled that Voldemort is gone, but after 7 years of action, things probably seem a bit dull now.
And it was nice to get a glimpse of Taffy. I'm looking forward to the next chapter where Charlie and Emilia are together again.
Author's Response: Yep, I couldn\'t leave the trio out of this story no matter how hard I tried. Hermione comes to be a big player as the chapters progress. I do imagine them to be a little bored now that Voldemort is gone.. even Hermione. I really appreciate your reviews!
Date: 18/05/2008 Title: Chapter 6: Imperfections
I think this is my favorite chapter so far! I loved the part at the beginning from Linnie's PoV...who knew, lol. And I loved your description of Charlie with the telephone...that was wonderful!
Author's Response: Yay, I\'m so glad you liked this chapter! I was a bit hesitant when I first posted it, but I\'ve gotten pretty good comments about it. Linnie\'s thoughts are quite interesting and there will be another chapter soon where her POV comes across. I don\'t know why I decided to do it, but it was fun creating a dragon\'s POV chapter or part of a chapter. Haha.. glad you liked the telephone part.. my attempt at a bit of humor there. :)
