I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed reading that. As someone who struggled with an eating disorder throughout highschool, your details and insights to the whole mess makes me wonder if you are or have been through the same thing. They are very on key, in such a sad way.
The idea that it was Draco--a male--with the disorder is definatly an original one. People forget so often that boys have body image problems, too. At first I was determined that it was Hermoine that was speaking, but was then pleasantly surpised. Very good. It's nice to see someone showing that aspect of it all.
I've flirted with EDs before, and we've broken up for the time being. I do have previous experience with it (on a very shallow level, though) and I used the background knowledge in writing it. Thank you.
Lol, Hermione? Ooh, Draco's inner voice sounds like Hermione; I should inform him about that. (The characters... they speak to me... ¬_¬)
Heh. It's not that I didn't expect it to be good, I was just thinking "ugh...HP fanfiction...", which is hypocritical cos I write Invader Zim fics to work on my dialoge and stuff myself (by the way, do you have an FFN account? If not, you should, you can get alot of good feedback there, as well). But normally I try not to read that stuff cos I'm not familiar enough with the characters (I've only read the first few books and that was years ago...) or the plot to really understand. But you were able to go about it without the reader needeing to know too much about the series and still have it be effective, which is one of the things I really liked
( ... )
Heh, I'm just too lazy to create my own worlds, so I borrow. XD Yeah I have a ff.net account - 'Sultrie' (<-- don't look, please, I'm ashamed of some of the stuff on there!). I thought 4st 7lb was my most polished work thus far (maybe it's just because I like it so much, for some reason) and so I edited and posted it.
Yeah, I can see what you mean. Most fics concerning EDs involve females, but I must recommend Shamera's 'Perception of Self' (FFN) - it's so much more detailed than mine... Sigh.
Sure... I don't talk back... -more shifty eyes- (Drakkie, she's suspicious now... you should hide for the time being.)
ED never gave me his number in the first place - he just dropped by randomly and demanded I flush away all the food in the house. The last time he did that, I kneed him in the crotch. I don't think he'll be coming back any more... -content- Oreos are the best things ever.
Muahah. Now that you told me Not to look, I'm going to. To be fair, my penname is thejennamonster, but it's all IZ stuff, so you may not be to interested (and therefore my cruddy writing is safe. Bwahaha.)
And yes, Oreos are the greatest things ever. Specially Double Stuft. Mmmmm...Doublt Stuft.
Im alergic to nuts, so I can't do the Pb, but the chocolate/mint ones...Booya. It's like Thin Mint girl scout cookies completely out of season. Amaazing.
And you should d/l some IZ. Definatly an awesome cartoon.

All in all I give you a resounding YES.

I lose both ways, don't I?
I've never watched Invader Zim, but I'll read something anyway, just to make it a little bit even. :)
The chocolate + peanut butter ones are bliss... -in heaven-
