a really unique form of writing i like the way you had j and hermione interact with each other i agree with you even after her interview DH just didn't make any sense, truly a great read i look forward to reading some of your other works

Oh, that was good! I'm not as bitter with the OBHWF ending as some of our shipmates, but I do understand the disappointment. I don't participate in debates either, but as a mod I can't help but stumbling on threads like this:

From the first argument to the last you hit it right on the head, she got it wrong. Perfect!

How do I put this bluntly? This story is absolutely bloody amazing. I love the way you've taken canon and blown it up with an actual cannon. JK is delusional for thinking that H/G would work. "Clueless male and Fan-girl"? As if! Plus, you've backed up all the arguments against canon completely. I take my hat off (if I was wearing one, anyway) to this story. Going straight on the favourites list.

Excellent story! I would've asked the same things Hermione asked the creator. It was wrong how the real story ended. Thank goodness for fan fic! Harmony forever!

I absolutely love this story, and I was reading "The Jane Austen Book Club", and this section made me immediately think of this wonderful story.

"There was something appealing in thinking of a character with a secret life that her author knew nothing about. Slipping off while the author's back was turned, to find love in her own way. Showing up just in time to deliver the next bit of dialogue with an innocent face."

It's been almost a year since I've read this story, but I still think about it from time to time - truly a testament of how wonderful it is.

Yes in some other world they could be together.
I loved your little story here.
Now that the official story has finished, this is one of the few things I can look at and believe in.
I'm not saying the book, author, idea or anything was terrible; no there is too much fighting going on about that.
I just really like how you wrote this story.
The view taken with the characters and author was very refreshing and interesting.
I may be delusional but I'm happier that way.
Thanks again for posting this wonderful story.

Vince: I don't know if you're still around (I'm going to try to email you too), but if you are, would you consider updating this to take into account the fiasco of DH?

I, for one, would be grateful! I've had this bookmarked since the release of HBP. It's lovely, and I know the H/Hr shippers would appreciate it!

Thanks

This is probably one of the best fics ever. I can't stop smiling while reading it. Exactly what someone has to say to the creator.

Great job!

whoa!!!

now that i managed to close my mouth, allow me to express my fascination with words this time.

this is so cunning, so ingenious! could you be persuaded to send a copy of this to J? and maybe while you are at it, another one to MN?

because, no matter how many believe in it, it doesn't make 'wrong' right. mark my words.

S.

OH WOW... *phew*

*THAT* was really really good. Seriously! Why in the world did I stumble across this one after it has been posted for over a year?!! *tsk*

I have to say, funvince, that you did an excellent job in this one. My favourite part would of course be this one...

"And you'd think I'd have more self-respect than to pine after Ron after he made his move with Lavender. Do you really think that Ron getting a chance to snog a girl would, in your words, 'make him worthy' of me?"

That was exactly what has been bugging my mind for the longest time. It just didn't seem like Hermione at all!

I like the concept that the characters are living, actually living, and the books are sort of telling stories about the life, 'onstage'. There are a lot more happenings that are not in the books that swirl around the characters. And Hermione and Harry are hiding their true feeling? That was fantastic!!

I'm telling you, if 'J' is still being stubborn and go ahead with the H/R thingy... I guess I can live with the imaginary fact that 'they are hiding their relationship'. I love that...

Great work!

Haha awesome! I hate how J.K suddenly levitated the ship to Harry/Gin. The girl doesn't suit her at all! Ginny maybe okay but honestly, Hermione is loads better paired with Harry. She stuck by him through thick and thin! Anyway, thank you for the lovely story

you had me like cracking up throughout this. it was kinda wierd though. but funny.

My sentiments exactly! I would totally rant and yell about HBP... but you've done it for me.

You should really send her an email or something with all of these arguments. Maybe it'll have some sort of effect.

-twitches-

A wonderful one-shot, if bittersweet. Well done. I think you've captured the thoughts of almost every Harmonian on Portkey.

My favourite line was: "It was never my intention that Hermione Granger herself would be a Harry-Hermione shipper."
