Reviews For Foolish

I knew it! I knew it! As soon as Luna mentioned helping another friend to visit who had become a citizen I thought of Harry. Can Nell have worked out that Harry is the man Ginny was previously been involved with or, I'm presuming Harry is the best friend she mentioned of her husbands who would be trading muggle stories, has Harry mentioned Ginny and she has realised the connection?

When Luna mentioned understanding if Ginny wanted to burn an effigy of her I thought it might be to do with Harry being there.

Me thinks Luna has set it all up. Although she did say that Ginny could come home before the month was up.

Thank goodness for Luna! I loved 'her' creatures, especially the one that let her know Ginny's pregnant. I wondered if Harry was the 'other old friend' Luna let visit, and sure enough, it looks like he was. I wonder why Nell was so shocked to find out Luna "sponsored" her? I can't wait to find out more about Hastom--it sounds like a place where miracles can happen! :)

Have just discovered this story and its really good. When are we having an update?

Author's Response: Thank you so much! No promises but it's looking good for the end of this week and it'll either be a mega chapter or two chapter spilt. If it is two, though, I don't know if I'll post them both at once. Not trying to string it out, just want to see how it looks.

I haven't reviewed in a while and just wanted to show my continued support. You're doing an awesome job keeping me surprised and wanting more, which is hard to do considering the amount of HP fanfiction I've read. Please keep up the exemplary work!

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the support. Little blocked right now on a scene but working through it. I resorted to telling myself I can't buy Star Wars on Blu-Ray when it comes out Friday unless I have at 3,000 words written by then. We'll see if it works.

I am loving this story so far and just wanted to drop you a line of encouragement about it. You got my vote for the New Story category in the Awards this month, and I hope you stick with it (I appreciate the pace of the updates so far!). A story that starts out this sad really has to find its way to completion! I think I can see where you're ultimately heading with this, but the path to get there could go many different ways before finally reaching its destination. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! That means a lot to me, it really does. There will be completion, by hook or by crook. I have the ending scene almost playing on a loop in my head constantly. Ultimately, I think anyone who reads this through will find the ending very satisfying. And it sounds trite but getting feedback from readers really does insprie me to keep plugging away when I get blocked. I recently discovered someone I work with reads almost as much HP fanfic as I do and I'm now being constantly reminded at work to both send updates and keep writing. So even now, with a healthy amount of cold medicine in my system, I am writing and will (hopefully) have something new in the next week or so.

sorry for the third post but your author responses are a bit um...for the lack of a better word putting off. Despite all my apprehensions I do find the story gripping. Honestly, one of the reasons is that you are posting it on SIYE...so as a reader I have the satisfaction of knowing that the author won't keep my favorite couple apart on a whim and the angsty journey here will have a somewhat satisfying resolution. But when you say things like h/g 'may (or may not) get together, I feel you are going against what the site stands for. I am sorry, I love the site, hence the post. Obviously if the mods are letting you post it here, it means you are sticking to the rules, I just wish you wouldn't try to add more drama by hinting at possible endings with both going their separate ways and if that's the case perhaps you should re-consider where you are posting it. I would personally feel let down if I found a story like that here.

Author's Response: My tone in the responses isn't meant to be coy or patronizing or anything like that. I just like interacting with readers but I don't want to give away my whole story in the responses. Harry/Ginny is my ship and has been for some time now. I promise you that. I've gone through more than two copies of HBP just to re-re-re-re-re-re-re-read all the great H/G goodness in that book. This story is on this site for a reason.

I am truly loving this story. I like to save the updated chapters as a special treat to reward myself for getting things done. I think your ideas are both oringial and creative, I've read a lot of fanfiction so I find it refreshing to nice to something more than just the same old things getting rehashed.
I think your characterization of Luna is spot on, it is hard to walk to line between odd and just too weird but I think you balanced it perfectly. I have a feeling Luna is right but at the same time I really hope it's a girl, I think it's the Gilmore Girls coming out again : ) Also loved the Star Wars references.
Great cliffhanger, perhaps Luna is plotting something? Go her! Can't wait for the next chapter, best of luck!

Author's Response:

Thank you so much. I literally squealed a little when I read that you saved the updates as a reward given that's it something that I've done myself a few hundred times..

Luna has a fifty percent chance of being right about the baby as do you and Ginny. You'll find out at some point for sure. I'm rewatching Star Wars with my nephew right now and I'm finding myself falling in love with it all over again. I remember being around his age when the movies were rereleased in theaters in the nineties and being just as blown away by it as he is now. So, yes, Bart became a huge Star Wars fan in the story. But he was gonna be kind of a nerd anyways, as you'll see.

There's no plans for Luna to be plotting anything but she is a Ravenclaw and those birds do operate on a different wavelength than the rest of us. We'll find out together if she has anything else up her sleeve.

Nice job. This chapter was an enjoyable and unexpected turn in the road.

Echoing Emlyn's point: Just because Hermione says Harry is content does not mean that Harry is content.

Author's Response: Five stars! Yeah! Thank you. I like roads a lot. I especially like knowing where I'm going but taking a different route to get there. You get to see and experience things you wouldn't have otherwise.

I just discovered your story and I am loving it ! I can't wait until the next chapter. Thanks.

Author's Response: Thanks for giving it a chance. I can't wait to write the next chapter. Or maybe I can...

lol! can't wait for the next chapter - and some more angst of course :)

Author's Response: Thanks! You want more angst? You sure about that? I'd remind you to be very careful about what you wish for b/c you just might get, my dear. By the end of this thing, you will regret ever asking me for that. :-D

Go Luna, you have got to love her! Now this is getting interesting amd we have to wait for an update? I do love how you brought in a little humor to break up the angst for a bit because it was getting a little to depressing. This story is so fasinating and I do love your writning skills, keep up the excellent work.

Author's Response: Thanks you very much! I needed some humor in here so I went right to Luna. Knew she could handle the job while helping me move the story forward. She's like a Swiss Army character.



Reviewer: Emlyn Signed Date: 2011.09.05 - 08:41AM Title: Chapter 5

Ooh, fascinating turn of events. If Ginny really thought about things, she would realize that someone who was truly content wouldn't have vials of Sleeping Draught lying around. I'm guessing that if Healer Nixon and her husband are such good friends with Harry, they know the whole story. So, the question is - did Healer Nixon know all along who Ginny was? Doesn't seem to, since she only put 2 and 2 together as Ginny was opening the door. Luna is such a hoot and treasures her friends. I'm wishing the next chapter was up already, so I could find out what happens next.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much!

My use of the word "content" seems to be causing some controversy so I'll clarify my thinking a little bit. When I see the word "content" I do imagine happy but more settled happy, not overjoyed happy or can't stop smiling happy. And you're right. IMO, someone who has complete happiness in their grasp wouldn't need a Sleeping Draught every night. ;-)

As for what Nell and her husband, Bart, know, I'll let them explain the particulars in the next chapter. I had to work Luna Lovegood in somewhere. Just had to. She's one of JKR's crown jewels. In my mind, yeah she's the kind of friend that would upend your entire life if she thought it would be good for you.

I'm happy for Ginny, because despite the awkwardness of meeting Harry, she at least found healer Nixon and that is a real relief of her burden, having someone she is able to talk to.

Author's Response: Thanks. I adore Nell Nixon. I have a huge imaginary girl crush on her. She feels like she came fully formed in my mind, with backstory and everything. If Nell exisisted in real life and were running the world, we'd all be better off for it. (I'm only like ninety-four percent joking on the last part)

That was a great chapter! What a cliffhanger! Thanks for writing.

Author's Response: Thank you, for reading and reviewing. Studies have shown that, shockingly, cliffhangers actually make people want to read more. Who'd have thunk it?

I know that this is not going to be a lot of readers cups of tea, but I am really liking the chances that you are taking here. This is different, and honestly, if you were a lesser author, I would have given it up. But this is so well-written, that it has drawn me in. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I appreciate it! I honestly didn't realize how much of a risk I was taking until I began posting here (and read some interesting comments in response) but on the whole I'm floored and humbled by how well people are receieving this. I think happily ever after (if it's attained) is more gratifying if you have to work for it rather than having it be handed to you so I like to run character's through the wringer a few (hundred) times or so.

The Hanstom place is nice, Luna was fun to read...but my main grouses with your story still remain. Ginny is getting better to read too, but I think if I leave out the first two chapters of the story, I'd find Ginny better written than she is.
I am just wondering though how much angst will I be able to take and if you are going to put Ginny through the additional torture of watching Harry and Meredith together in the next chapter. She's made awful choices in the story, but I love the canon Ginny, so I am just hoping you'll give her a break. Writing her the way you have should be enough I guess.


Author's Response: Thanks for taking the time for two posts. Ginny, in my mind, is a fighter at heart. From COS onward, she is a fighter and that's how I will always see her. In the first two chapters here, that's dimmed a little bit and that was intentional. The baby, when she realized how much she wanted it, gave her something to fight for and pushes her to make changes in her life. Those changes may (or may not) lead her back to Harry.

I like this Hastom place.

Author's Response: Thanks! I love it too, which is why I created it :-)

Now that's an interesting meeting.

Author's Response: Thank you. Yes, it will be an interesting meeting. Maybe. Or not. Who knows? Well, obviously I do but eventually you will too. ;-)
