TSA1 posted!
Sep. 17th, 2003 12:31 amFinally. TSA1 (not to be confused with TSAp :D) has at last been completed. *senseless weeping* Have subbed to Schnoogle, but in the meantime you can read it at Portkey (here) or my Web site (here).
Please find somehow, some way, to let me know what you think. Review at an archive, drop a line at a messageboard, send me email, comment here, cut up magazines and send MacGyvered letters to my door, scribble a note onto a piece of notebook paper and throw it in my hair, roll up your feedback and put it in a bottle set to sea ... however you choose to do it, it will be greatly appreciated. :D To say that I'm a leeeeeettle nervous about the reaction to this chapter would be an understatement, since I know it can't possibly live up to whatever anticipation might have built up in this long wait between parts, but lay into me anyway. I'm an adult. I can take it. And if I can't, I'll take it anyway.

A Humble Review...
Date: 2003-09-17 02:03 pm (UTC)I love the in character-ness of it all (if that makes sense...). And yours is one of the best interpretations of Draco I've seen in a long time.
The air about him just makes me melt (he's a very melty guy, that one). Very composed and together, rather than the snobby, irrational hottie you see everywhere else.
And I adore Ron! He's usually just an annoyance and ends up only irritating the reader and getting in the way. But here he's got a very compelling and wonderfully brotherly quality to him. Like you could see him being your brother.
He's not just freakishly protective and he doesn't just tease mercilessly. He and Gin share a closeness that only real siblings can understand. And I find that most fics lack that.
The mood of the entire chapter was great. It's definetly the kind of fic you can 'come home to'. It's comfortable and you settle right into the scene and cast like you've known them your entire life.
I can't wait for the next chapter. It's bound to be a hit!
Much love and snuggles. ~Alex* (sapphireyes87@hotmail.com)

Date: 2003-09-17 04:51 pm (UTC)I <3 that you <3 Ron!! I <3 Ron as well. He often gets the shaft in stories (er ... even in stories that aren't slash *ahem*), and I know a lot of people who dislike him. I've always liked canon Ron, and I'm trying to be as true to him as possible. Don't want to neglect the poor guy. ;)
