Reviewer: harrypotterspirit Signed Date: 2014.09.28 - 09:55PM Title: Are We The Waiting? I can't believe I lost track of this story. Picking up here, where I left off in 2011. The initial meeting between Ginny and Harry is going to great reading. You peg emotions well. Also, looking forward to Harry's reaction to the new that he has a son. Reviewer: redheadedfervor Signed Date: 2011.08.31 - 04:49AM Title: Are We The Waiting? Hooray an update! I check all the time, and I was really hoping it wasn't abandoned. But I totally understand the complications that come with life and writing. :) First off I would like to say that I also really enjoy the Ginny/Jackson scenes. I am someone who has grown up with a young mother and no father, and I must say you do a very good job of depicting the kind of relationship that evolves from those circumstances. That being said, I do sort of wish that we could see a little bit more of the fiery and witty Ginny of canon. Not that she's written poorly, and I understand she's an emotional wreck, but one thing I see as a constant theme in fan-fiction Ginnys that bothers me is she never wants to believe. I think the one thing that separates Ginny from almost all the other characters is that you never see Ginny's belief in Harry waver, even when she thinks he's being a prat. I.E. OOTP. That's why I like her so much. The way I always imagine her dealing with her anger towards him is that first she slaps him as hard as she can, and then snogs him senseless leaving very little time for him to react. Haha. But that's just my opinion. :) Well done overall! Can't wait for the next chapter! Reviewer: mysticat211 Signed Date: 2011.08.30 - 09:45PM Title: Are We The Waiting? I was pleasantly surprised to see the story update. I can empathize with you on updating. When I work on a story, I wait until I have a full, full rough draft or I can't finish (I haven't written any HP). Reviewer: serious_blue Signed Date: 2011.08.30 - 01:36PM Title: Are We The Waiting? I was just looking through the stories the other day trying to remember the title so I could check the status, and low and behold you post the update. I wasn't sure about the story when I first started reading it but it has grown on me and I love the way it is going. I am really looking forward to the reunion. Thanks for writing!! Reviewer: hpforever85 Signed Date: 2011.08.30 - 02:04AM Title: Are We The Waiting? Wow...great depiction over what Jackson and Ginny must be feeling, and I'm soooo glad you had Ron go to his nephew. I don't think Ginny could have helped him in quite the same way in her state...as you probably figured yourself. I think the confusion that was felt was right on target, but I must say that I would have thought Ginny might have had a stronger moment of anger. Perhaps after Ron left and before she went to check on her son. It just seemed missing to me. But all in all it was a fantastic chapter. I am dying to see the reunion. And I know, I know, Harry doesn't know about Jackson yet so he doesn't fully understand the magnitude of the situation, but I really do wish he would be a little more eager about making things right with the love of his life. Even if that doesn't mean they get together.(Which I'm assuming they will eventually.) Sigh...so many ways it could have been handled. No one is going to be completely pacified. Did you sway a lot in how to handle Harry's reaction? I often go back and forth between SEVERAL different versions in my own writing. Reviewer: Alifromnm Signed Date: 2011.08.29 - 11:48PM Title: Are We The Waiting? Very well done. This was such an emotional charged chapter, had to be very difficult to write, but you pulled it off! Reviewer: hushpuppy22 Signed Date: 2011.08.29 - 09:53PM Title: Are We The Waiting? Weasleys value honor, courage and bravery a great deal. As such, their reactions in this chapter were out of character and remarkable subdued and unrealistic. Anyone that has felt the immense heartache of a loved one's death would feel incredible betrayed and angry that the person had abandoned them, that the person did not have the courage or integrity to tell them goodbye or leave a note. This man you have named Harry is a craven soul who would be unworthy of canon Ginny. However, this subdued and too gentle Ginny has so little to do with Rowling's character that I am sure she has already forgiven this guy.

Reviewer: tloulee Signed Date: 2011.08.29 - 04:29PM Title: Are We The Waiting? Thanks for the update. I really enjoy this story. Reviewer: Dad Signed Date: 2011.08.29 - 01:57PM Title: Are We The Waiting? Nearly three months! I had forgotten how compelling this story is. Please try to get it finished. Reviewer: ebonydawnpotter Signed Date: 2011.08.29 - 11:25AM Title: Are We The Waiting? Oh I do so look forward to updates for this story. The Ginny in this story is the one that I've come to love and how I always pictured her. The interactions between her and Jackson are just so reminiscent of how I pictured Harry and Ginny quipping back and forth, but with moments of sustained tenderness. I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter. Keep up the fantastic work. Reviewer: dseay Signed Date: 2011.08.29 - 09:56AM Title: Are We The Waiting? Excellent chapter! Ron is an amazing character and has truly grown into his own. Just love seeing the similarity between Ron's and Jackson's emotions.It will be hard waiting for the next update. Wonderful writing skills and lives up to the pen name. Reviewer: hgpassion Signed Date: 2011.08.29 - 12:20AM Title: Are We The Waiting? Choices have consequences... Remus, Hermione, Ron, and especially Harry have made life altering choices for Ginny and Jackson, and I find it hard to believe that Ginny and Jackson will find it in their hearts to forgive them all. I know you keep saying Harry's not the bad guy... he just made choices, but those choices have consequences, and drastically affected someone he claimed to love. His consequence should be the loss of that love and their son. He sure as hell doesn't deserve either one of them! The choices Harry made should be unforgivable if you are Ginny. Remus should never be forgiven either - he knew! Yet, he chose to watch Ginny suffer. I hope she tells them both to kiss her arse and takes Jackson away from them and all of the crazy lies. After all, its only fair that she finally get a choice about their lives, and I hope she makes it alone. Vindictive? Yes. Justified? Definitely! I normally love Harry, but this isn't Harry. So whoever this is can go away. Reviewer: Firestorm2004 Signed Date: 2011.08.28 - 11:53PM Title: Are We The Waiting? Oh, wow! A great chapter. Very emotional, and just tugs at the soul. I love the reactions you had for Ginny and Jackson, though I do wish they hadn't had to go through it. You describe the inner turmoil very well. I can't wait to see what you do next. I hope you'll update the story soon. I was almost dying, after the previous one. Reviewer: Miss Weasely Signed Date: 2011.08.28 - 11:18PM Title: Are We The Waiting? I am really not a fan of Harry in this story yet. Mistakes I can understand, but I am not sure if he even realizes the enormity of what he did to Ginny and Jackson, or if he'd ever be able to forgive himself, leave alone begging them for it. Reviewer: Emlyn Signed Date: 2011.08.28 - 11:16PM Title: Are We The Waiting? So glad to see a new chapter. Nice Ron/Jackson interaction. I liked that Ginny surprised Hermione with her reactions to Hermione's words and news. You seem to have an incomplete sentence when Ginny is thinking about Harry having a daughter. What a tremendous upheaval their lives are in now. And it seems that there is still so much to come. Looking forward to the next update. Reviewer: harrylovesginny7 Signed Date: 2011.08.28 - 10:19PM Title: Are We The Waiting? Oh my god this story is amazing! I just found it this afternoon and I read it all in one go. Please please have Harry and Ginny reunite again, and update soon! Thanks for this wonderful story. Reviewer: Green Eyes Signed Date: 2011.08.28 - 09:35PM Title: Are We The Waiting? A very well-written chapter. The angst is just oozing off of the pages (if there were pages). I know that I am far more angst-adverse than most readers, so I have probably just about reached my limit, but it does seem like we are on the verge of something more positive now. Commenting on the discussion in some other reviews: Harry should come to Ginny and Jackson. It was Harry’s misguided decision that caused this whole mess in the first place. He should be coming to them on hands and knees, seeking forgiveness. Finally, I was not crazy about Hermione in this chapter. I am not sure why. I guess she is just trying to be helpful and your portrayal was certainly in character. Reviewer: Harte Signed Date: 2011.08.28 - 08:40PM Title: Are We The Waiting? What a great chapter. One of my favorite parts was when Ginny went to look at the pictures and you described how they all cocked their heads, I could just picture it happening. You handled Hermione's disclosure of Harry's daughter perfectly in character. I didn't want the chapter to end. Hope the next one flows more quickly. Thanks. | |||||||
