Harry Potter Fanfiction – Read Over 85,000 Stories!

Hello, here for the 12 days of reviewing challenge! Today we've been challenged to review authors with less than 10 stories, and I came across this in a TGS recommendation thread and decided to check it out. 

I love the start to this story. Ivy is such a charming character - she's so whimsical and airy-fairy (or so she seems, anyway). I love Adrian too, mostly because I'm a bit of a sucker for self-deprecating whiners, largely being one myself. I also love the idea of Hogwarts having a penpal project. It's really sweet, and totally something I can see them doing. I love stories that expand on JKR's vision of a school community in Hogwarts, especially ones that consider extra-curricular activities/societies and whatnot. (Also, this line: <i>As a year of remedial potions had taught her, chemistry was chemistry.</i>)

Oliver! OLIVER. Her penpal is OLIVER. Heck yes. I love the bloke in all incarnations. This exchange between him and Cassie cracked me up: <i>'Where would they be without me?' Oliver asked, grinning. Cassie shrugged. / 'A lot less tired, one imagines.'</i>. But wait, what, what?? Ivy and Oliver hate each other in real life? This simply will not do. I'll shake my fists at the computer screen until they realise the error of their ways and fall in troo wub. 

It's especially distressing that Oliver and Ivy are both quite happy in their relationships, because I'm shipping Oliver/Ivy like the blazes already. Olivy. There you go, ship name.

I think my favourite thing about the chapter, though, was Fred & George's banter with Oliver. The little bromance they have going there is amazing.

Merry belated Christmas and a happy new year! &hearts;

I adore the film and you've converted it to the world of Hogwarts perfectly!! I love this, and can't wait for more! :)

Your plot is intriguing, but you lack of capitalization throws off the story. I find myself being distracted by the words that aren't capitalized, meaning I am pulled out of the story, quite frequently I might add. The story line, for me, doesn't flow as well if there are errors such as a lack of capitalization on the beginning sentences, names, book titles, and house names. It would be understandable if it happened once or twice, everyone makes mistakes, but after that it seems like laziness. I'm not meaning to be harsh, I'm just trying to give constructive critisism.

so when i read the description of this story i have to admit, i was a little nervous. ive read some of your other stories and really liked them but the whole penpals-who-think-they-hate-each-other-in-real-life thing is overdone and often very cliche and hard to believe. but i do think this story is a lot better than most, i liked youve got mail (the movie) and this story is quite good as well. anyway, please update soon!

Very nice.  I started reading, and I love that BroomBoy & PeachGirl are actually Oliver & Ivy.  I noticed that Edmund and Cassie actually seem more suited together.  Haha.  I love the fights, as the others have said.  Can't wait to read more.

thanks i'm glad you like it!

Aw! Cute start! I started reading the books over in celebration for the upcoming moving and just had to read some fanfic. And who better to stare in it than sexy, Quidditch-obsessed Mr. Wood? And your story has him aplenty!

On a side note, Ivy's boyfriend... The scene where she and he are talking. First you have his name as Edmund, then Edgar, then Edmund again... ::confused:: Wondering which one is the right one and thinking you might want to go back and correct it... Lol.

But other than that... your first chapter rocks out loud, and I'm waiting for the next one!

thanks! wood is sexy oh god... i love him so much i think its a little scary haha. 

thanks for pointing it out, i originally had him as edgar, but then worked out that edgar bones in the canon is like 65 at the time of the story, so that's a no go haha. So i changed it, but obviously didn't get it all worked out. 

thanks! i hope you like it.

I love it. Fun concept. You've Got Mail is actually a v.3 [as you may already know] of an absolutely unequivocally amazing favourite of mine. [What with the perf of one Jimmy Stewart and all.] Am too glad to see it in the Potterverse version. *squee* You excell at witty banter. The quidditch team is too many pieces of fun. 

<i>'I'd say she touched a bloody artery.' Alicia said. 'clogged it right up with anger.'
Fred smiled. 'Aneurism or no, he's still the captain.'
'And still shirtless.' Angelina said, grin in place.</i>
Loves it. -___-

Angelina is a downright star. Cassie is spot on. The twins are perfection in print and Adrian is forevermore my favourite character. 
I love the rework-ed-ness of it all. I dunno if you got < that < but it is a reference to the dialogue.
Always a joy kid.
Cheers.

ah! im glad that you liked it! i know it is v.3, but mine shares dialogue with some of the movie itself, so i suppose i would say based on the movie you've got mail which is based on the film the shop around the corner (GREAT FILM!) i'm glad you like the banter, i had so much fun thinking up the characters within the quidditch team, they are much ignored within potterverse i feel.

cassie is hilarious isn't she? and adrian is so funny. he's just such a boy, haha.. 

and yes i did get it! hahaha!!! this has been a great review, you always pick up on funny things and know exactly what i mean. 

you are most welcome.

great start 4 the 1st chapter. what's going to happen now? will u update soon please?^_^
