I got tagged for the music meme by scarlett711777 so that will come later, once I decide. Gear yourself up for lots of Shakira and Ani DiFranco, though, because I am pathetic and know practically no music, and once I find something I like I just listen to a lot of it :P

Title: Carousel

This was amazingly good.

I'm like, crying and trying not to and smiling because the end was so good and I can't really think of a proper comment because my brain has completely left me right now.

[poseida9]

Eee thank you. Your review is amazingly good! It makes me smile lots :)

[reallycorking]

Would it be biased to say that you're my favorite?

You always build such a lovely sense of anticipation in your fics. This was particularly well-paced, I thought. I like the way that you alternated between the present and the past, but in a way that didn't feel like a series of flashbacks or something. I DIDN'T WANT IT TO END. aryis;pelrkrfjk.

[poseida9]

No, I'm pretty sure it is totally fine to say that ;)

Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked the pacing; it's hard sometimes, when you know the outcome, to make sure the pacing is okay, so I'm glad it worked. Thanks again for reviewing--I am really happy now :D

[lissa_maylee]

Love. Love, love, love.

I mean, this is really good stuff.

Okay, am coherent again. I loved the way you kept switching between time frames, and the way you communicated Ginny's pain and longing so clearly.

[poseida9]

eee, thank you! :)

I love getting reviews from you because I like your stuff so much too. (If I haven't reviewed, uh, I really apologize; I am really forgetful and dumb about leaving reviews.)

[lissa_maylee]

Why, thank you, my dear. I didn't know that you had read any of my stuff...that actually makes me a little self-conscious, since none of it's anywhere near as good as yours.

[poseida9]

eek, no, no, I totally recall your stuff being really nice and me trying to find it elsewhere. I liked G.I. Ginny a lot, and there was something else but I can't recall it right now. :)

Yeah, I am a terrible reviewer. Like, truly awful. There is absolutely no excuse. I will try to get on reviewing your fics ASAP, but all my reviews are like "eeek this is brill!!! Harry is so cute I love him to pieces!" so maybe it is better if I don't expose your mind to the sugary fluff that is my reviews :)

But don't be self-conscious, because your stuff is really good. :D

[poseida9]

Eee, dude, that review DID practically make me weep tears of happiness :)

Thank you!

Ooohhh I am so glad r_becca pointed me out to you. Beautiful fic. I look forward to reading your others.

[poseida9]

Thanks so much! I get ridiculously excited when people rec my fics, and even more ridiculously so when people review my fics after seeing the recs :)
