Oh, wow! This is so complicated and clever and layered and really interesting. I really enjoyed it.

Thank you so much! Your comment made me squee like a little girl. :)

Also, it must be said that you are my femgen HERO. Five Dead Women STILL gives me chills.

I've been wanting to read a good Ariana fic like this since I finished DH. You leave it slightly open to interpretation here, what happened to her with the Muggle boys, but am I right that we are thinking along the same lines, as in, sexual assault? I was floored that JKR had that insinuation there without further developing it! You've handled it wonderfully.

Oh, eee, thanks! That's very nice to hear, especially since I'm currently wrestling with this year's femgen and it isn't quite cooperating... Aaargh. :)

Oh, definitely with the molestation. It had gone straight over my head in DH until an flister said something, and my mind was blown. Scary stuff.

Thanks for the compliments! That is exactly what I wanted to do. It would have been in bad taste to graphically describe it, at any rate. I will probably find a better, more writerly-pretentious way of saying what my intentions were once I archive it on my own journal, but yes. :D

Tiny Addendum #1: Good luck with your fic. I'm sure it'll be brilliant, as usual. And I can't wait to read it.

Tiny Addendum #2: OMFGSQUEE, quibbler_report!

I have chills like you would not believe, dear.

Wow. Just...wow.

msmoocow September 29 2007, 04:04:35 UTC

Thanks so much. I really hoped to do that to at least one person. My work here is done. :P

Appreciated muchly! *squish*

Oh my gosh, you have no idea how awesome it feels to have a review that tell me I achieved what I went for. I think Ariana's the perfect character to slap a reverse chronological character study, no?

Thank you very much!

Wow! I really enjoyed this! Very interisting, very reasonable, very well written and portraited. You should write often, my dear :)
Great job!

msmoocow September 30 2007, 18:25:23 UTC

Thank you! Writing more often, eh? I hope to do so. :)

Oh, this is wonderful! I've been longing for good Ariana-fic since I read DH and I absolutely loved how deeply you delved into her head with so few words. It's utterly chilling. Well-done!

msmoocow October 1 2007, 02:38:51 UTC

How flattering! I was worried that it wouldn't be as effective, because it really is kind of a short, sparse piece. I'm glad to know my intent was fulfilled. (The er, chilling, I mean. :D)
