Name?: Delaney
Age?: 18
Which House are you in?: Ravenclaw. I belong there, but I have Slytherin tendencies. *cough*
Which HP book was your favorite book?: DH. It was different, but still managed to finish the story brilliantly. It delved more into everyone’s characters, and Harry was at his best.
Are you active on the MNFF forums? Yes. I’m a member of SPEW. On hiatus at the moment. I barely have time to check my e-mail anymore...
Have you written for any other site?: Yes. I write for FIA (Fire and Ice Archives; dracoandginny.com) with this penname.
Talk about your stories and series a bit please?
Draco/Ginny chaptered stories:
1. 7 Years
Status: WIP
I would love to continue writing this. I’ve planned and partly written the next few chapters, so we’ll see what happens.
2. A Shadow of Trust
Status: On Hiatus
I really liked this story when I was writing it, and I wish I could keep going with it. I don’t know, though. It’s been a while since I’ve been inspired for this one.
3. Why Do I Love You?
Status: On Permanent Hiatus
Originally, I wrote about ten chapters of this story. If I can get around to editing them, I’ll keep posting to it, because there were people who liked it.
Draco/Ginny one-shots:
1. Suddenly Love
Status: Complete
I have to admit that this story was rushed and incomplete until Periwinkle (Anna) left me a SPEW review for it and Jenna boosted my confidence about it. They helped this story very much, and now I’m actually fond of it.
2. Conceit & Contempt
Status: Complete
I was kind of playing with the notion that Draco and Ginny have a traditional love-hate relationship, like Darcy and Lizzy in Pride and Prejudice. I was honestly just experimenting, so don’t take it too seriously.
I have written a lot more stories that would fit in this category, but they’re not up here. Mostly lj-ed, some just for friends.
James/Lily:
1. Apology of a Completed Soul
Status: Completed one-shot
This is one of my favourite stories of mine. I would describe it as ‘touching,’ but that’s for you to decide.
Others
1. Reformation
Status: Complete, one-shot
I like this one, if only for the coincidence that I seem to have managed to get into Draco’s head before I actually knew him.
2. A Little Fall of Rain
Status: Complete, one-shot
And here I’m in Ginny’s head. Odd. Anyway, this is nice because it’s from someone else’s PoV, and yet features Ginny in a rather vulnerable position, so she’s sharing.
3. Sinful Reunion
Status: Complete, one-shot
This story does have its merits. It uses thevault (Jenna)’s Siobhan, and takes place in Sins-verse, immediately post-chapter 12. It’s an interesting take on Siobhan’s position, I think.
4. Illuminating Indecision
Status: Complete, one-shot
This was for a SPEW swap, and features Blaise’s choice during the war.
5. Regret
Status: Complete, poem
What I like about this poem is (besides the water) that it doesn’t really have to be Ginny, it could be anyone in her position, regretting anything. I heart sestinas.
Any stories coming up? Yes, actually. Over the summer I got really involved in a story that's a kind of exploration of Slytherin cunning, told from the PoV of Blaise Zabini. I really just need the inspiration to post it.
How can anyone contact you? My email address is up there. Contact me that way. Or PM me on the forums. Same username. Email address once again is horsegirllane [at] sbcglobal [dot] net
Oh, and reviews? Excellent stuff. But be serious. Happy reading!

IMPORTANT UPDATE MADE IN AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE END OF CHAPTER 18. PLEASE READ!

Cleaning the House by Myka
Rated: [Reviews - 30]
Summary: Sirius and Remus go to 12 Grimmauld Place to inspect it. But they soon find more trouble than they bargain for; as well as an attraction for each other!
Perfect! This is a new twist on the R/S fics I've read before. They all take place at school! This is so sad, yet so poignant, because it's right before he died! Everyone's perfectly in character, and that's what I love about R/S! Amazing job, and I can't wait to read more of your stories.
James and Lily: Hate and Love: Life and Death by immortal_evil
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 537]
Summary:
It is ambitious Lily Evans' 7th and final year at Hogwarts. She is very excited about being one step closer to becoming an Auror and thrilled about being back to school altogether.
But there is one little annoyance: the Marauders. Specificially arrogant James Potter. He has been pestering her to go out with him, but she has coldly denied his wishes. She thinks this year will be no different to the past six school years.
But life is full of mistakes.
..::~!~::.."Just one minute.” Lily noticed footsteps heading in her direction. She saw a hand reach from between the screens and drop a flower onto her bedside table.
“Mr. Potter! Return to your dormitory immediately!”
“Alright, alright…” The hand disappeared.
Once Lily was sure that no one was in the wing, he lifted her head and saw what flower Potter had dropped.
Lily stuffed her head in her pillow and screamed a muffled scream that no one could hear.
i LOVE this story! i am completely addicted to lily/james stories, and this is one of the most believable i've seen. i thought the train scene was great. i just reviewed after this chapter because the quidditch positions got a lil bit confusing...james was hogwarts' legendary SEEKER, wasn't he? and you mentioned once that julianne (i love that name) was a chaser, and once that she was the keeper, so i was a little mixed up about that...awesome story. keep up the good work!
oooh hippogriff might be right! i didnt think of that....i just wanted to tell you what a perfect bully malfoy makes. its usually snape because we know for sure that he went to school with the marauders, but snape never really seemed to fit into that role....great job!
the griffin was AWESOME. i hope james isn't too thick to take its advice. but who has lily been giving second chances to who doesn't deserve them...? that kind of lost me...or will we find out?
Icharus Invented by sweetproserpina

Summary: After Lucius' imprisonment Draco is set free to mold his own future, his plans involve gaining back the respect the Malfoy name once held in the Wizarding World. Ginny, capitalizes on a chance encounter and is pulled into Draco's quest for power.
I LOVE that he's found a purpose.. running is good for him. I have to admit, though, that cargo shorts are impractical, though I really love the shirt.
Daddy by blondebouncingferret
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 1738]
Summary: 
Post Hogwarts: Ron and Harry are sent to America for Auror training. Ron spends his last night in England with Hermione, and after returning two years later, he finds Hermione with a fifteen-month-old baby ...
This chapter was so poignant! I might feel myself being converted to R/Hr.. excellent writing. I loved how you could see the looks on everyone's faces, and how, for your story, everyone has particular characteristics. I especially loved this line: When it was said like that, it should have been obvious to Ron who he should choose, but it wasn't about gaining or losing - it was about the truth.
The Ghost of Godric Gryffindor by GoG
Rated: [Reviews - 643]
Summary: At the start of Harry’s sixth year, the wizarding world is falling further under Voldemort’s evil control. Fudge has declared a draconian State of Emergency, but he is little more than Lucius Malfoy’s corrupt puppet. But when Malfoy seeks to impose Voldemort’s racist Pureblood ideology upon Hogwarts - the last bastion of the Light - the students rise up in revolt.
The spirits of the great Witches and Wizards of the Light, fearful for the future of the Wizarding world, send Harry and his friends a powerful ally, to help them in the desperate struggle to save Hogwarts and the wizarding world from impending darkness.
An epic struggle of Good against political corruption, racism, elitist ideology ... and Ultimate Evil. The roller-coaster plot twists and turns into the past and future – and Nightmare Realities, where the terrible consequences of failing to stop Voldemort are chillingly revealed.
A story to fascinate the intelligent reader ... philosophy, politics, time-travel, romance, humour ... and a few very cunning ideas.
What a decision for Rick! That would be really difficult for him. But his going back in time a little bit makes sense. Harry's game was precious, and I loved the description of Godric's Hollow at the beginning; it really provided contrast. Can't wait to read more!

hey...well...i'm horsegirllane, and i can't help but feel like im at least partly responsible for the posting of this chapter...you may thank me. (i'm joking, of course). this chapter is definitely the best one so far, and i'm starting a lily/james fanfic of my own...this is definitely an isspiration. I know it took you a while, but the result is truly brilliant, so I forgive you. A couple of perfect lines "every time he teased her to go out with him it was only a cover so she wouldn’t see how vulnerable he was, how desperately in love he was." "love that pure can never completely be extinguished." "Without a thought to the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery, the International Confederation of Wizards’ Statute of Secrecy, Hogwarts or the Ministry of Magic, or anything other than reading the remainder of that letter, her wand was out in a second" so, so cute. thank you!
Dragons and the Night by sagirah
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 18]
Summary: Laila is a Slytherin who holds a particular loathing towards Draco Malfoy. Unusually quiet and reserved, she is Draco's target for mockery. But the unexpected appearance of their future child Naina changes all this and sends the two into an adventure they wish they could escape. Draco is forced to protect Laila...as her husband.
CHAPTER 2 IS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like your original character's name, first of all, and the fact that you don't introduce her character by her appearance of her friends, but rather by her brother and her pen, both of whom seem to represent her a bit. Her brother probably looks like her, too.
Malfoy's entrance is typically ridiculous. His exaggerated insolence is typical in canon. It's hard to get an idea of a time period here - is this their seventh year?
What's a Tiffany pen, exactly? You may want to explain that. Or everyone may know but me.
Pansy is typically fussy, and I like that you added that part of her character.
Just a question - are you implying in Draco's question that he doesn't know what pens are? I'm not entirely sure, but it seems as though one would need to be very sheltered from the Muggle world for that to happen, and I'm sure the Malfoys pride themselves on education, even if they look down upon Muggle artifacts.
Oh, I like the last sentence of the chapter! It even opens up the possibility of Laila being a Slytherin. And I wonder why her brother asked her not to hurt him? I look forward to finding out.
The Pretend Boy-Who-Lived by immortal_evil
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 16]
Summary: Harry's mind is racing as he is forced to take part in a photo shoot for an article for the Daily Prophet. He can not help but feel alone in a room full of people.
I loved it! I like that he felt torn apart and estranged at the same time he was being passed around from person to person.. excellent job. (brilliant!imma)
A World United by QueenHal
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 12]
Summary: PRE-HBP :: At the end of his sixth year, Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived, defeated Voldemort for the last time. But the tides of war have taken a toll on him, as much as they have taken a toll on his beloved Hogwarts and the entire Wizarding World. But when Harry returns for his seventh and final year at Hogwarts, the new traveling Quidditch team might be just what he needs to piece his life and his world back together.
I won't be doing anything more with this sotry, but since I like the chapter, I'm leaving it up.
I love how you start right at the beginning with your descriptions. Your characters give off a feeling of familiarity, endearing them to the reader.
Perhaps the only other being in the Great Hall subject of more whispers than Dumbledore that evening, was the boy Harry Potter. This was an excellent transition. I think it might flow a bit better if it says 'subject to' and doesn't have the comma before 'was'.
The sound images you use are an amazing way to express the atmosphere in the Great Hall. The whispers and knife-on-plate sounds really give the reader a feel for what's happening in the Hall. Lovely diction, that is.
I enjoyed the references to Harry's adventure, like Ron's scar and Harry's reference to the Slytherins protecting him. It really captures interest! It also shows that a lot has changed.
“Don’t be silly, Ron,” said a bushy-haired witch with a Head Girl badge pined to her chest, There should be a period after 'chest' and 'pinned' has two ns. But I love how it's so clear this is Hermione!
Trelawny, also, should be Trelawney--Sibyll Patricia Trelawney, I believe, is the professor.
Ooh, and the Quidditch travelling team would have been such an interesting idea for unity! Now I'm sad there isn't going to be more. I knew that would happen.
Well, a lovely job on what there is of this story, and I'm looking forward to reading more of your wonderful writing!

I feel desperately sad for Jocelyn. She is so strong! I can't wait to see what they talk to Dumbledore about...I can't stand Narcissa! It's her fault he died!!!! *sobs*. I can't wait for the next chapter! In between tries to get my own story posted (and that finally worked), I checked on this one all the time. I can't wait for the next installation! Excellent job, again...(My computer's name is Lea)
