Just found this via a request on ron_draco.

Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable read. I always love your Ron and Draco - your affection for them shines through the words.

At one point in their bickering I suddenly thought of Pinky and The Brain! And I had a silly smile on my face from start to finish.

Brilliant!

God, I absolutely loved this story! I've read some of your other work too, primarily R/D, and loved all of it. You write brilliantly, your sense of humour's mad, and thoroughly entertaining, your plots are always fresh and original and best of all, you write both Ron and Draco so well! I've read so many stories where they're both utterly OC, just to have them be together. But yours are always just right: Ron's always his impulsive, hot headed self, Draco's always snarky and fussy and temparemental. This one was fantastic: I adored Tiffer, chuckled over Blaise and his garlic-infused breakdown, and practically everything else too.

Brilliant work! Keep writing R/D, won't you?? :)

Just downloaded and read ALL of The Pizzeria. It's a wonderful story with a Ron/Draco pairing that I wouldn't have thought would work but does. I hope there's going to be more ahead cause we have to know how they deal with the goblins. Do they franchise the pizzeria? What do Ron's parents think of the new couple and some Ron/Draco bedroom action would be great as well. :)

ADORED this!!!!! I heart their pizza place (and am rather craving pizza now!!) and really, you can't go wrong with Draco, Blaise, and Ron all in the same location, yelling about garlic and salt. :D :D :D

Brilliant!

Hey there,

I just wanted to drop you a line, telling you how much I've enjoyed all your work. You've a true gift for a range of writing, from light and downright hilarious (the Pizzeria had me howling with laughter over each chapter), to perceptive and deep. I've loved this story, 'Discretion is the Better Part of Valour' and all the rest I've managed to get my hands on.

I sincerely hope you haven't stopped writing R/D, because I consider you one of the best writers out there, really. I'd love to see a new R/D piece from you, preferably in the same sarky, clever vein. Your Draco's priceless and perfectly IC, and your Ron is simply adorable, with his great big heart and his occasional cluelessness.

So, here's to more inspiration for you!

Take care! :)

Thank you! At the moment, I'm not really writing Harry Potter anymore; my fannish muse has been wooed by Stargate: Atlantis, Dr. Who, and Torchwood, and those fics are archived at 10leaguesbeyond. However, should the inspiration ever strike again, this journal is where all my HP fic will continue to be archived.
