Please write more. I would really like for it to be a full story not just a oneshot. Your writing is really good. I really hope you update soon :D

oh come on really 10 chaps try 1 please update

would be interested to see more of this

I know you said update would be slow, but I wasn't expecting four and a half years.

I love this story. You should continue it. And I've read most of your stuff, and you are an incredibly good writter. I mean, you are one of those writters that make every story seem real, and full of life.

Out of interest, will you be updating this story again?

Please continue :]

great story can't wait for the next chapter

i must tell you, that it seems good now and i can't wait until you update again

It's already really good, so I believe you. Just promsie you won't abandon it, and i'll keep reading and reviewing.

Ouch... I was actually getting teary reading this! Seriously, if you don't finish this I swear by all the Orders of Merlin and the Sorting Hat that I will personally Imperius you into completing it!

P.S:- Only kidding! But it IS that good... So for God's sake finish it already!

Yes! Brilliant idea! The idea is, as far as I know, completely original, and you're, as I told you, a great writer. You manage to write everyone in character, AND to explore the unsaid between them, AND give a lovely read on the way. Thanks.

Oh, and I love the way Rosmerta tries to justify her eavesdropping, with what "it can't be helped when you've been a barmaid for X number of years" I'm impatiently awaiting the next chapter!

Aimael

If the story continues like this it will for sure be worth waiting for :)

Looking forward to reading more!

I can't wait for more. The first chapter was good. I really like that Ginny and Harry are not together right after the war. I always thought they would have some issues to work through.

Well then... looking forward to it eventually getting really good :). If it gets superbly good, I might just take you up on your challenge. I have a few ideas brewing, but it's always been a time issue for me... do you even know what I'm referring to? You wrote your message to me over a month ago.

Now, onto the bona fide review. I've noticed you have a certain style, which is not exactly disjointed, but is what I would term 'modern drama'. I could see this being shown in a community theatre with ten acts of ten minutes each and a 20 minute intermission. Although this style is wonderful and is what draws me to your writing (when I do write prose I find it is in a similar style), I want to challenge you to rise to another level of craftsmanship. Let me explain.

My sneaking suspicion is that you are someone with a lot of emotional depth (and I wonder how many lemons life has thrown at you), and coupled with your intelligence and rather free-flowing writing style, you've developed a niche on writing exactly these type of stories. I noticed this with Embers also, but I did not realize it until just now. You are very good at writing emotional, heartfelt scenes, and you are very good at developing character through flashback (e.g. Hermione and the mountain sunrise scene). However, your ability to write suspense is not as strong, and I'm still having trouble believing your character development going forward (e.g. I'm not quite convinced/I don't know what to think of Harry in Embers). Finally, and this is incredibly difficult, is writing believably a character from a point of view that is vastly different from your own maturity development - e.g. a ten-year-old. I'll admit I'm total rubbish at all of the above, but I would recommend reading KevinVoigt's work for a good example of suspense, and monkeymouse's Cho Chang trilogy for a good example of a 50-year-old white American male writing about a 11-year-old Chinese-British female.

As for this story specifically - although well-done diamond to add to your collection of diamonds. I look forward to reading future diamonds, spades, clubs and hearts :).

A quick note - I do still have you marked down for reply, but moving halfway around the world didn't help matters time-wise. As for why I don't have any writings posted, it is largely a time issue once again, and to a lesser extent because I don't quite have the dedication.
