Oh thank god! Lol. When I first picked your prompt I thought that writing for it was going to be relatively easy. Except I sort of didn't read the little bit about the sarcastic undertone. I honestly was worrying about it because I had no idea whether I would be able to pull that off.

What a brilliant concept and execution! I was riveted from beginning to end. Ginny may be a wonderful mystery writer here, but you've done much justice to the genre as well.

But it definitely left me wondering "What? That's it?? We're not going to find out what the letters contained? D: D:"

And what of the diary?? :O

Thank you :) To be honest, I didn't feel like I could do the letters justice without going in a whole lot more detail. I think I would have ended up overcomplicating things.

I really enjoyed reading this; the plot is very unique and I enjoyed how well-written this fic is overall. I agree with _____faith about the letters, though. Such a cruel cliffhanger!! I wanted to know what sort of information they contained! One last thing: the title of this fic is very appropriate; I love how it ties everything together. :)

Thank you - knowing that the concept worked is a big thing for me. This is slightly different from what I normally write and I was concerned that I wasn't going to pull it off. The letters were annoying little sods. At first I intended to include them, but I found that when I started writing them out it began to overcomplicate the rest of the plot. At some point I may write them out though.

And thank you about the title! I was still sat there about an hour before the deadline trying to come up with one. I had a list of about twenty options and most of them were a bit rubbish, to tell the truth.

Thank you :) I'm just glad that people are liking it.

I honestly don't know about a sequel though. I mean, I have massive amounts of back story written down in my notes since this was originally going to be significantly longer - and it switched locations about three times - but I'm not sure that I would be able to work it into a sequel. Ah well, we'll see, I guess.

Thanks again!

Like the others have said, my jaws dropped when I saw that there weren't a lot left and at the end of the story, I wanted - no - needed more! The entire story and the way it unfolded were no doubt intriging. I really hope that you write a sequel about this in the future :)

In a way it makes me happy that that was your reaction. I suppose it means I did something right. :) Thanks for the feedback!
