I like how you use words to create ambiance and set the tone of a fic. Without being verbose you can paint a clear picture of a scene. I enjoy the character you've created for Astoria and think you capture Krum perfectly when you write him.

I do think, though, that your Ginny and Draco are a bit softer than they are in canon. Draco rarely acts like bloodist, classist prat that he is in canon and Ginny is not as sharp or hot-tempered. I'm not saying you write them OOC, they're still recognizable but noticeably toned-down.

Scrolled through all 28 pages and finally found a name I recognize. I don't think we share any fandoms in common, but I always liked your stories. You have a wry sense of humour. Your stories always seem to be plotted so well. There are interesting twists in all of them, yet they progress in an easy fashion. No unbelievable characters, and you're so prolific it's intimidating.

I think you're an amazing writer, with original ideas and a wonderful way with words. However, I do have to agree with the comment a couple above mine. Your Ginny isn't OOC, but she isn't fiery, either, and it's the fieriness that has always been the most prominent trait, to me, of canon!Ginny.

First of all, I am a huge fan of pretty much everything you have written- I fell in love with your wonderful Dean/Willow fic on TTH, and promptly wandered over to LJ to devour everything on here. Unlike the previous commenters, I actually enjoy your characterizations of Ginny and Draco (and Hermione/Blaise/Marcus/etc); sometimes in fic they can seem too one dimensional, like they only have one setting (fiery/icy). Your characters are undeniably more subdued, but to me they seem a bit more realistic or adult, and more complex than some people give them credit for ( ... )
