Rated: [Reviews - ]
Summary:
Though I have never tried writing her, I’ve always seen Luna as one of the hardest cannon characters to write. You have done a superb job. You haven’t made her too loopy (and acctuly gave reasoning behind her thoughts) but she isn’t too normal either. I enjoyed seeing things through Luna’s eyes. And your line “Ronald Weasley entwined with a 6th year girl whose name I do not know. Whatever they are doing, it doesn’t look particularly enjoyable, and I see Hermione Granger looking at them reproachfully.” made me laugh. I also love the way she is distracted in class, so veyr Luna in my opinion. I don’t really see anything that screams error. Overall this is a very good fic and I can’t wait to see more!

So She Dances by Starmaiden
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 24]
Summary: After the Yule Ball, Neville goes back to the Great Hall to retrieve his coat. Instead, he finds Ginny Weasley, dancing with no partner but her sadness.
First off, I must say, this is so sweet and so good! I think Neville is an amazing character and you’ve portrayed him so accurately. Because it would be bad for to copy your entire fic here, I’ll try and narrow down the great lines so this review isn’t too long...
~You’re very good at descriptive writing. Her graceful steps seemed to echo with unhappiness. I can close my eyes and just see that right there. I love it.
~You’ve characterized Ginny very well with this line: Neville noticed that she never made fun of anyone who couldn’t handle her teasing.
And you’ve characterized Neville just as well with this line: Neville could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He wanted so badly to stride out, to take her in his arms, to lead her in the dances she performed solo. I feel this so IC. It reminds me so much of little Neville standing up to the trio in PS...
~I love this, it is just so Neville, to be there for her for however long she needed him to be. After a few minutes, Neville heard her give a little choking sound. He did the only thing he could think of and pulled her into his arms to let her cry on his shoulder. She was a wonderful girl, and he would be there for her, though he would never ask her out. He held her for a long time.
~I love the way you closed this. It’s so sad and sweet and wonderful. The moon was not visible from his window, but he left the curtains open anyway, so he could look out at the unreachable stars.
I only have on thing to point out, and I think it’s a formatting mistake more than anything. The paragraph that ends “despite his gran’s classical training.”? After it you have two spaces, where throughout the rest of the fic you only have one separating the paragraphs.
All in all, this was amazing! *hugs* I think you’ve done so well with Neville and Ginny. This a superb one-shot.
~Guchi
Author's Response: *facepalm* Two spaces? Oops. I\'ll have to check, but I\'m pretty sure that\'s a mistake. Thanks for pointing it out. Silly formatting errors.
Hee hee! It makes me smile that you wanted to copy/paste the whole thing. I\'ve wanted to do that before, so I really enjoy that particular compliment.
Every guy wants to be a hero and Neville is absolutely no exception. Ginny is his princess-in-distress, and it was very enjoyable to let him rescue her. As you pointed out, he knows that he probably won\'t ever date her, but he still wants to help her. That\'s just the kind of guy he is.
I\'m glad you picked up that line about Ginny. I was thinking of reasons for Neville to like her and suddenly thought of how she stands up for people. That\'s very much the sort of thing that Neville would notice.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments! *hugs back* I really appreciate them.
Save the Last Dance for Me by annie
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 17]
Summary: Harry and Draco have an arrangement they stand by, no matter what. Based on Michael Bublé's cover of "Save the Last Dance for Me".
The NC-17 version of this fic can be found here.
Yay! Another wonderful fic by you! (I read Some Kind of Miracle and tried to comment, but the site logged me off. I did send you a PM though the forums though) This is great! Normally switching view points is hard, but you’ve done it extremely well. You can tell who is who by just the tone of it. I can’t wait until you update Some Kind of Miracle, but I think I’ll have fun reading the rest of your works.

Keep Moving by MaraudersWolf
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 5]
Summary: There are stories missing in the life of Remus Lupin. Between the sudden upheaval of war, the loss of many friends and later returning to Hogwarts as a professor, the years in between are a mystery. This one-shot explores one moment of struggle in his desires to have a "normal" life. What happens to the man when his world shatters . . . again? Who will help the man pick up the pieces and keep moving?
Wow, this is really good. It’s well written and I like the side of Remus that you show. Oh, no I don’t think he is OOC and since Remus is my favourite character I think I would know! This is wonderful and I’ve added it to my favourites. Now I saw a few things that I want to mention.
This: “Remus started at that piece of paper, ignoring the four sets of eyes watching him.” implied (at least to me) that the rest of the Marauders were with him, and had me confused for a fair bit of the fic. I would change ‘four’ to ‘many’, it would make it quite a bit less confusing.
“Happiness was a rare find in his world. Agony was achingly familiar.” I abso-bloodly-lutely LOVE this line. Actually it would be great for a banner for this story. There are a lot of banner threads on the forum, if you want one made for this.
“Even with the great distance separating them and the fact that Remus had his back to him, Severus felt the hint of Remus’ emotions emanating outward.” I think ‘hit’ would be better here then ‘hint’. I’m not sure if this was a typo on your part or you meant to write ‘hint’ but I think ‘hit’ works much better with the feel of the fic.
[“Nothing,” he breathed, pausing for a lungful of the sweet night air. “They don’t have to say why, Severus. They just don’t. None of the other schools have. This one is no different.] You need end quotation (”) marks after different.
[“It’s tempting,” Remus whispered, “so tempting to just end it all, to stop this pain from the hole in me, to make it so I don’t feel anything again.”] Okay the part that’s in bold? It doesn’t make sense. Maybe you mean ‘stop this pain from making a hole in me.’ But I’m not sure...just re-read it out loud and you might see what’s missing.
Okay so I had a few nitpicks but this was still amazing! I hope you write more and I can’t wait to see if you do!
~Guchi
Author's Response: *needs to roll tongue back into mouth and pick jaw up from the floor* Wow! THANK YOU for your comments! This was my first fic ever to be seen by eyes other than mine and it was written in response to personal events that I felt Remus could relate to . . . the feedback is greatly appreciated!
The banner . . . I will TRY to remember that - I need to get those kinds of things, but I\'m so easily distracted that I can guarantee you I will forget. (However, I have no objections to people who remind me of these things, either.)
Hit/Hint . . I can see either working - I went with hint to emphasize that there was a physical distance separating them at that moment. The hole . . . again, I can see either working, but the hole I was thinking about was the hole that gets created when something you deeply care about is forcibly removed.
Marauders? Uh, maybe I have to go back and do more work, because they weren\'t the \"four eyes\" that it was referencing . . . but again, \"many\" could work, too . . . ah, the work of a writer is never finished!
Again, thanks so much - don\'t hesitate to PM me with anything else!
A Spark of Bravery by hpluver365
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 5]
Summary: When Neville is confronted by a dementor while patrolling in the Ministry of Magic he is forced to fight it off…alone. Can he muster up a happy enough memory? Can he stay focused whilst reliving his worst experience ever?
Written for The Best Patronus Ever Challenge by hpluver365 of Gryffindor.
Oh, awesome! I really liked this! It was well written and kept Neville in perspective. I love how you didn’t have him able to produce the Patronus right away. I love the glimpses at Neville’s past you gave us as well.
I love this line: “First day at Hogwarts? More nerve wracking than happy.” It’s so IC for Neville!
This was really well done. It’s not too long or too short, ending in just the right spot.

Author's Response: Thanks so much Nutz! I\'m glad you liked it!

Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 36]
Summary: Just a quick one-shot about Remus being unsure of his love for Sirius. But is it the love itself or the uncertainty of Sirius' that's making him feel this way? Slightly fluffy. One-shot.
