You know I'm quite keen on the Theodore/Luna ship now because of this fic. You've got a very good handle on the relationships in this story, and as always I love your writing - thank you! Reviewer: Jim McGuffin Signed Date: 2004.09.07 - 09:11PM Title: Valentine's Day After reading both St. M's and hairy_hen's responses below, it appears I may have been too harsh with my review below. And so I'd like to give a much more pleasant review here.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this chapter. It was just that I had just read several fluff fics, then was glad to see that this fic had been updated so I read it. And so, after restraining myself from lashing out at the other fics, I couldn't hold it in and suddenly I found myself writing what St. M considers to be a flaming review.
What do I have against fluff? I guess it's because I'm a guy, and what red-blooded male likes to read fluff? But if hairy_hen, who if I'm not mistaken is a guy, can appreciate fluff to some degree, then who am I to judge against an entire genre?
The type of fluff that I see a bit too often is the story where the writer comes up with an excuse to have some sort of dance, then go on and on for several chapters about who's going with whom.
But St. Margarets is too talented a writer to resort to this cliche. In fact, I started reading her fics because I know that she wouldn't write such an overly fluffy fic. But because I was in such a bad mood at the time, I wrote such a bad review.
Indeed, had I been thinking clearly, I would have commented on the funny R/H scene. Who would have thought that a mere homework planner could be used in such a hilarious scene!
And so I eagerly await the next chapter of "Red." St. M tells us to expect the R/H Hogsmeade date, and knowing R/H, I know that it will be funny as well as fluffy.
Once again, I apologize, not just to St. M but to all fluff writers. If I am a HP fan then I must accept that fluff is part of the fandom.

He used her own gift against her (well not really against her but you know). The scene with H/G was very sweet, I loved how they compared her mother to her show. It was nice to see them just enjoy each other and have a few hours to themselves. Harry ingenious use of Norbert was very well done. Cheers. Reviewer: parakletos Signed Date: 2004.09.06 - 12:15PM Title: Valentine's Day You are the Queen of Fluff and yet there is always more to it than that. There is a depth to your writing which can be missed if you take it at first glance. And what's more I stayed late at work to read this and do the review. I look forward to the next chapter. Reviewer: hairy_hen Signed Date: 2004.09.06 - 09:40AM Title: Valentine's Day Hey, good show. Yeah, the R/H part is great--such an incredibly businesslike way to arrange a date. And so Ron not to make any huge declarations, but just to make a simple request and statement of fact. ("No.") Brilliant!
Well, as you probably know by now, I do have a certain weakness for fluff . . . fluff that's done well and not in ridiculous amounts. I think Harry may not have been quite--rugged enough, I don't know. But you definitely showed how their relationship is going to a more serious level, and I like that. Interesting thoughts on R/H at the time of the Yule Brawl--I don't think either of them was at all ready to start anything back then. And Luna and Nott, too, that's interesting as well. WEll, looking forward to the next chapter, with all this nasty gunk all over the place(!) and to hear how Ron's date went. Nicely done.
I hear ya on getting weird reviews. Sometimes I just wonder what sort of filth they were smoking at the time. (lol) Reviewer: Luna_Lovegood831 Signed Date: 2004.09.06 - 02:38AM Title: Valentine's Day Really cute chapter. I loved the part where Ron asked Hermione out. It was so natural. Great job, update when you get a chance. Reviewer: XiaoXiao Anonymous Date: 2004.09.06 - 01:48AM Title: Valentine's Day YAY! What a great dose of fluff. It wasn't pointless, though--it fits well with the rest of the story. LOL about the Days of Destiny...the fans have some striking resemblences to another fandom that we're all familiar with. :)
Molly's explanation of marriage is the best ever. That could be part of a wedding vow or something. Seriously. Reviewer: thelostwriter Anonymous Date: 2004.09.06 - 12:47AM Title: Valentine's Day As always great story... also i loved the Planners and cant wait to see what you are going to do with Ron and Hermione's first date Keep up the good work and great chapter Reviewer: emily Anonymous Date: 2004.09.05 - 09:33PM Title: Valentine's Day Aww Teddy! Reviewer: Melindaleo Anonymous Date: 2004.09.05 - 07:30PM Title: Valentine's Day If there is anyone who deserves a bit of fluff in his life, it's our Harry. I'm an angst fan myself, but I still believe Long Live the Fluff. It's necessary, lol. Still, my favorite part of this whole chapter was Ron and hermione arranging their date. Perfect. Reviewer: Miss Ray Signed Date: 2004.09.05 - 06:55PM Title: Valentine's Day oh that's cute. Nice job with the use of homework planners there- very creative and I never woud have thought of it. And as the the h/g fluff, that was cute too. Their relationship is geting more serious.... Anyways, good job on this....I don't know but for some reason I wanna read something that's kinda dramatic....will we be seeing any of that soon? Anyways, it doesn't realy matter anyways, just keep on writing because I'd love to read more of this fic. Good job!

Fluff is the best, it's the mold that holds a story together! Where would you be without fluff, immediate action right after each other, what a bore you never get to learn about your favorite characters! Fluff rocks, and I must thank you for writing it so well! Splendid job! I can't wait for more!! And the path Norbert made, that's going to be an ice rink the next day, they should do something fun on it! Post some more soon I love it!!! Reviewer: Jim McGuffin Signed Date: 2004.09.05 - 03:36PM Title: Valentine's Day Okay, as I stated before I usually don't care for fluff. But apparently most of your readers love fluff, and I know you won't stop writing fluff just because hairy_hen and I are the only readers who don't enjoy fluff!
The Sugar Quill is still down! For those of you bored senseless, here's a nice trick I know -- the Google cache. For example, since most of you seem to be H/G fans try making a Google search:
harry potter ginny weasley site:sugarquill.net
Then click on "Cached." You'll find some old threads and possibly even a fic or two.
That's all I'll write, since after reading St. M.'s latest chapter, I suddenly have the urge to brush and floss my teeth... Reviewer: bart Anonymous Date: 2004.09.05 - 03:18PM Title: Valentine's Day Great chapter, and may I add my voice to everyone elses and congratulate you on the R/H planner scene, it was just perfect! :D Reviewer: rach Anonymous Date: 2004.09.05 - 02:50PM Title: Valentine's Day normally i think the R/H stuff is a bit..i dunno..it's not my thing..but i actually really enjoyed that date planning part with them in the chapter! and of course the h/g stuff was excellent too..great chapter, cant wait for more! Reviewer: Ima Quidditch Fan Anonymous Date: 2004.09.05 - 01:52PM Title: Valentine's Day OK... I pick through stories for the H/G goodness, but I have to say, that was really a great R/H moment!
ON to more improtant moments... loved the Harry and Ginny valentine. Very them. However, the "nature" of a boy Harry's age didn't break free. I am surprised to say the least. ;)
The Day of Destiny compared to Molly's love life was VERY SWEET, and I enjoyed hearing about Luna's knight with prefect badge.
More H/G please.

I love how ron said that he could only remember useless things- i think that i's be just like him then! I like how Harry was actually being sensitive, that was fantastic! amanda Reviewer: Calliope Signed Date: 2004.09.05 - 01:17PM Title: Valentine's Day That was wonderful -- no to metnion the best way to ask someone out, ever. This story just makes me...::squee!:: | |||||||
