A/N:
Guest review for chapter 28:
"Such a bad fic.
More about making Ginny look good and Harry look bad than anything.
Ginny and Draco? Really? Its a fucking retarded fic."
Really? I'm the retarded one when it was YOU who read 28 chapters of a story that you apparently 'hate'... it's either you are a masochist or you are just plain stupid.
Again, I am all for getting constructive criticism, but to have flaming reviews from people who are reading my story - in all of it's entirety - in secret, then saying they hate it is just plain hypocritical.
You, sir or mam, are a closeted fan fiction reader! The difference being, that you don't just own it like the rest of us...
I guess I don't understand how I am making Harry look bad. As the main character, he is obviously going to be less than perfect and make mistakes. But despite this, I thought that Harry's intentions were always genuinely good and that his heart was in the right place. It would be a boring read if Harry was perfect all of the time at everything.
And I made Ginny far from perfect, too. She has a fiery temper that gets away from her. And she's stubborn - which you can see from the way she refused to break up with Dean at the beginning. Hell, she even refused to really listen to what Harry's concerns were about the bet in the last chapter! How does that make Ginny look good?
Also, in the future, if you are going to criticize someone's hard work, at least give examples of what you are referring to. You think that I am making Ginny look good all of the time? What are your examples of this? You can't establish a theory without probable cause or evidence.
And as for Draco liking Ginny, I actually got the idea from cannon, fool! Draco and the other Slytherins commented on Ginny's looks in 'The Half Blood Prince'. I just made it bigger than what it originally was for my fic.
Again, I accept negative reviews if it is constructive. But if you are a troll that is throwing unnecessary flames, then you know damn well I am fighting you on it.
So, everyone else who is here to read a story without feeling the impulsive need to openly hate it, while secretly reading all of the 114,858 words greedily - give a big, fucking round of applause for yourselves! Because you all actually have a brain!
...as well as some class.
So, I thank everyone else for their love and support. And I'm sorry for my long, authors-note rants.
I guess I have a fiery temper, as well.
I'm doing the last edit on the next chapter, so expect a real update in a few hours or so...
Also, to the troll, if you are reading this rant that I posted, then I know for a FACT that you are checking my story for updates.
Peace to everyone else! You all are gems! And just know that I'm not discouraged by this review. I actually think it's illogical and quite hilarious, so I had no choice but to respond.
Love, brooklynvtc
