"Dear Tracey, Enclosed is a box of confetti that I’d throw if I could be bothered."
amor inter nos est by elyaeru
Snarkiest Conversation (TIE)
“You’ve missed a spot,” Draco drawls from his reclined position.
Ginny scowls at him. “You could help you know.”
“And ruin my nails? Perish the thought!”
“Hey, I saved you from complete servitude,” she says, dropping the cloth she had been using to wipe the cannons.
Draco does not look at her. She is both irritated and amused to find that he is actually surveying his nails. “Oh, and I am ever so grateful. With my delicate disposition, I can’t handle all that manual labour.”
Prelude to a Journey East by black_alnair
"“Well,” Ginny said brightly, wishing she that she had never brought up the topic, “No matter now. Psychopath’s dead, world is still free, and now all we have to worry about is making rent and finding a date for Saturday night.”
Draco smirked, and just like that, he was back to normal. “Well, maybe you have to worry about that stuff. I’m pretty sure I’m well endowed in those areas. Come to think of it, I’m pretty well endowed in all my areas.”
Ginny rolled her eyes. “Bloody prat.”
“Moronic bint.”
Ginny grinned. “You know, you and I have a very strange relationship.”
“Normalcy is overrated.”
Notes on Falling Out of Love by incipient_love
Best Prose
"The man, sitting in the chair close to the windows, looked to be approaching middle age. A few strands of prematurely grey hair stood out clearly against his normal colour of chestnut brown. He was rather handsome in an aristocratic sort of way - a straight nose, blue eyes framed by thick lashes and a beautifully structured face. On his nose were perched a pair of simple glasses, which he would remove and restore every so often. In his hands he held a thick bundle of parchment which he pursued with a serious, concentrated air and furrowed brow, broken only by the occasional glance at the woman sitting across from him."
Ginny Weasley and the Asparagus Soup Appreciation Society by ailishmargot
Best Kiss
"And then he kissed her; her eyes fluttered closed, her body jumped back to life. His skin flooded with heat and she stopped breathing, suffocated. She wanted to pull him closer, push him against the wall, dive into him; but his lips were pulling at hers slowly, patiently. His fingers weaved through her own and his thumb carefully drew circles under her ear.
And she was shattering beneath his touch, pulling apart at the seams, only the have him put her back together. She was melting, falling-empty and full at the same time. She needed him closer, but he was still holding her away even as he opened his mouth beneath hers. And, damn it, he tasted good."

If Your Memories Do Stray by airmidm
The Sleepwalkers by 60sfreak
I chose this fic because of all of them - it was what I 'wished' really happened. I have a soft spot for 'friends first' fics. :D
Under the Night Sky by sillysun22
I had to do a double whammy on the mod's choice thing because this was the first story of the exchange that 'floored' me. I loved it and want to give it lots of recognition for being all awesome and stuff!
♥ ART AWARDS ♥
Best Artwork Overall: Eden by ericahpfa
Most Original: Goodbye... by moonsunrise
Most Eye catching: Legends of the Inferi Hunters by sororitysheep
Best Portrayal of Draco Malfoy: Eden by ericahpfa
Best Portrayal of Ginny Weasley: Eden by ericahpfa
♥ Special Services to the School Banners ♥
This was for the gal who left wonderful, insightful, (HUGE) reviews to nearly EVERY SINGLE STORY!
You were positive and thoughtful and if you delved near criticism you stuck with constructive stuff.
You deserve a banner for being so awesome! :D
We had lots of mega huge fics this round - but there were three in particular - on time - formatted perfectly -
and the three of you deserve banners for being made of so much win!
Congrats, Tasha, for winning the Guessing Game! You rock - and apparently you read too much fan fic that you are able to call that many authors on their style.
♥ Participant/Backup/Nominee Banners ♥
Just a little parting gift for the participants... "who were nominated - and should have won!" ;)
Thank you all for your wonderful participation. This banner is for everyone - winner, nominee, or not.
All of you were wonderful. Thanks for making this fourth exchange so brilliant!
2008 Draco/Ginny Exchange Wall of Shame
We knew we had to be more drastic than last year - last year we only cursed our Draco and our Ginny to life with less 'deserving' mates. What could be worse than that? One of our beloved couple being DEAD! Yes - there you have it - the naughty Wall of Shamers KILLED HER!! No, not really - but they made my life miserable and made me scramble for back-ups so they get their 15 minutes of fame on the WoS. Thank You liriehalliwell for the AWESOME AWESOME graphic. You rock all sorts of ways!! :D
Now make like flying monkeys and 'Fly, my pretties, fly' - go forth and pimp the reveal, comment and give love to your favourite authors, and relish in the overall awsomeness that is the D/G ship! ;)
