Wow, long time since I posted here! *eyes travles to her old crashed computer* Anyway ...

I was wondering what all you DG'ers think is the perfect DG fanfiction in your mind? Is it full of angst, drama or do you want to laugh untill you can't take it anymore and noticed you had peed your pants?

Or do you just want a deep romance that will take two full days to read the entire story?

Just a plain sappy and fluffy one-shot maybe, or a DG romance triangle will do the trick.

But an evil Ginny and goody-two-shoes Draco will make an unique story ... what's your idea of a perfect DG fanfiction?

Personally, I love any well written d/g fic which has a decent plot.

I used to like angst fics a lot a year ago, but right now I think the perfect fic is a short, humourous and fluffy fic ^^

The kind which starts with a heated argument and ends with fulffiness

Okay, I love any D/G well-written with good, original plot. However, I do have perfect D/G, which I have given way too much thought.

The Perfect Draco and Ginny Story:

The story begins on a regular afternoon. Ginny has graduated from Hogwarts over seven years ago. She has a successful job in the fashion industry. Her long time live-in boyfriend and/or husband, Draco, has his own successful business/Ministry job. Though the story is post-Hogwarts, there are several flashbacks to the final years at Hogwarts, including the beginning of D/G and the War, which the good side won, of course. Back to the present. Or is it future? Harry is with Hermione, Ron with Lavender or some OC. I'm not particular. Anyway, while Ginny gets along with everyone and D/G does spend a lot of time with the Weasleys, Draco still isn't Harry's best friend. Draco tolerates everyone and they tolerate him, for Ginny's sake. However, Draco does get along fairly well. In this perfect story, there is a little thing that most fics forget about-PLOT! Yes, there will be plenty of fluff and melodrama. Yes, tension between Hermione and Ginny, Draco and everyone. But, more importantly there will be HP-related plot. Maybe a Death Eater tries to finish Voldemort's work. Maybe Voldemort returns. Maybe another Dark Wizard tries to take over the world. Or maybe the Apacolypse takes place, Buffy style. Draco and GInny probably aren't going to be the big heros-that's Harry. But they will help. So far, the closest thing I've got is Ebony's Paradise Series. Oh well. Maybe someday...

My idea of the perfect DG fanfic is one where both characters undergo a change not in personality but of heart...

No OTHER characters should be largely OOC, there are no cliched forms of FORCING D and G together, and it's not rushed.

It's a bit angstful, but satisfyingly fluffy as well.

It should make you laugh AND cry.

Neither of them turn to each other for some REASON such as a dare, revenge, or proof of self. They fall in love because they want to, if only subconciously at first.

The perfect DG fanfic is rare.

I felt oddly compelled to answer this....Wow...I've, like, moved twice since I last posted. XD Anyway, I'm sorting my opinions as I go, so forgive any sudden changes in topic...

Let's see...I love couples like this because the conflict makes it so much more interesting. My favorite genre of all time in any situation is Romance/Comedy(My friends find that funny...). I like multi-chaptered fics because it's more time for humor and romance and plot, of course. Though there's nothing wrong with the occasional fluffy, funny one-shot to print out and read when I should be doing other things. I hate fics that start off describing a character as 'well muscled and handsome' or anything like that. I don't know why, but it bugs me. Not to mention those are usually indicators of a bad story. I'm personally partial to Ginny be portrayed as a fiery, tempermental, average looking girl. Draco, of course, should be his normal, smirky, egotistical, bugged-because-Ginny-doesn't-submit-to-him self. Another thing that bugs me is constant, detailed kissing. Can't they just say they kissed? I mean, jeez...-cough- I also hate when fics show the characters on dates. That makes me almost always close the window and stop reading, even if they're well-written. Just a pet peeve of mine I guess. I like when they discover their feelings, admit it, then cut to a married life epilouge and. Oh! And I absolutely love family interrigation and recation sessions. They're so funny!
Favorite character development: Enemies -> Grudging Acceptence -> Rival-Like Friends(Can be skipped, I suppose.) -> Lovers

...Hm...I guess that's it...This kinda turned into a rant, didn't it? Ah well...-shrug-

One that includes all of my favorite ships:

1. Draco/Ginny
2. Blaise/Parvati
3. Ron/Luna
4. Neville/Pansy
5. Hermione/Harry
6. Dean/Lavender

I'm perfectly normal, I swear! Hehe! But then again, I like the triangle Draco/Ginny/Miss Piggy.... Okay, I'll call the insane asylam (sp?)

My favorite D/G fic:

I absolutely agree with everything Crys, Tina and vanillapuf said about rare and good fics.

I think the perfect D/G fic should be a funny romance. I think they should be after-Hogwarts or during-school-holidays-fics, cause it's hard for me to think of a way for them to start their relationship in school. (But I would be happy if someone recomended good believable during-Hogwarts fic to me).

For me Draco should be in a better position than Ginny, but Ginny should't be weak or helpless. And as they are wizards they should act like wizards not doing too much Muggle-stuff.

I don't like epilogues either and the story must have plenty of action in it rather than discribing every second leaf on a tree or circulating too much around thoughts.

I kind of like the "Draco as teacher in Hogwarts Ginny his student"- idea, though I never finished reading one of them (because the authors didn't finish them). Here too- if someone knows a good -finished- Draco-the-teacher-fic, please tell me.

I always thought of writing your own fanfiction as the way to write the fiction you'd like to read.

I like most D/G fics I've read. Some of them go a bit too detailed in the kissing parts for me and it puts me off but most are great.

I'm not picky about it. I love the dramatic ones but also love the fluffy humourous ones. My perfect D/G fic would be humour, fluffiness, drama, and basically everything mixed into one. D/G are just so absorbing to read about that I never mind what I read.

Well post-HBP I'm picturing D/G in Bk.7. Ginny and Draco go Horcrux hunting with Harry and fall passionately in love. Details are hazy but I'm actually in the process of writing a H/Hr and D/G fic focusing on Bk.7 and the Hunt for the Horcruxes. Beside that I can see them after school and everything meeting in a bar.

P.S. HI!! This is my first post. :waves:

I completely agree, not everyone has the same opinions as me on D/G and what there relationship would be like, so I think it's better to write your own. That way you can have the relationship they way you like instead of praying the author does all the things you could write.


Sure is.
