Attention D/G Forum Members!





Our loverly Draco/Ginny forum has become terribly dusty and inactive during the long hull between books five and six.


Well you know what?


Us mods, namely Sakura1287 (Kristina), vanillapuf (Daniela), and InTheStars (Crystal), have looked at this forum with sadness and despair for too long.


We are going to clean it up, rearrange it, and reinvent it to what it used to be and dare we say, make it even better.


We have plans in the works to make D/G a happening place, with more interesting topics than you can shake a muffin at!


So, show your D/G pride and help out! Here you can post any ideas or suggestions on how to expand our forum and make it better and even more worthwhile to spend time posting in!





Muffinly Yours,
The D/G Forum Mods
InsipidNight
Wow! I was hoping somebody would say this! I've been noticing the boredom in these forums as well. Hmm..but how shall we make it better...*thinks*

Well, since there isn't any canon evidence to discuss...perhaps we could discuss some fanfiction? Well, maybe not.

Or we should all team up and write a long letter to JKR (on the forums..but eventually send it), telling her why D/G should be together...and get like a million people to sign the letter, so she'll give in to muffins. tongue.gif

Yeah. These are lame ideas. But I have no idea...I'll post when I think of better stuff!

Sorry if this is confusing... If Draco wanted a name for their first child that Ginny

absoluetly hated, what would it be? Vice versa?

Would Molly and Arthur be doting grandparents? What about the Malfoys?






So have fun with these.
I'm thinking we should do a strikethrough or something when we use one, or perhaps bold them all and unbold them when we use them, or make them a different color when we use them, or make them wear a funny hat...

However we decide.

And EVERY question is in here, including repeats. Just so you know.

This would be fun to do, even if we didn't have any intention of sending it to her. Just the idea of trying to convince JKR WHY D/G would be good for her books would be fun to do.

May I say:
AMEN to the revamping of the D/G forum.
The layer of dust is far too think on the place.
There's really nothing to discuss in these days of late, every question that anyone has ever really wondered about the Regal Draco Malfloy and Quirky Ginny Weasley has pretty much been covered...although, with the new book coming out we have more option of discussion.
Again, what is this stuff about Draco having his own chapter?
...
Perks up.
Yay!
If we have any bordom along the way, PreBook...the letter to JK sounds like it would be mighty fun.
I've always thought that getting different points of view is interesting too.
In my opinion we should have open discussions about other Ships involving the Draco and Ginny...just to see why people see it from their perspectives- only giving us the option of brainwarshing them and turning them to the muffin-y goodness side.
*adds a couple tassles here, dusts there, throws a generous amount of glitter*

So it's apparent after yesterday evening (07July) that the D/G has the potential to be alive.

Was yesterday a lucky occurence of more than one shipper being online at once? Or was it really a sign that the D/G could come galloping back full force?

It's up for us to choose whether it's going to reign in its full glory, or fizzle out after one promising evening.

We have some good topics going, and we need to figure out if we want to start anymore while we're warming up, or wait for some new shippers to head our way before opening new discussions.


What do you gals think?


Kristina

Dear Girls,
I seriously think that we should continue with the topics posted and advertise the CRAP out of the D/G forum in our sigs, going to different forums and discussing not only the topics there but comparing it...possibly. Also, Newbie attacks. Go into wrestling the troll and getting some greeters. If we get them there, when they're still curious about the shipping process...as well as the forums in general, we'll get a better following.
They all start as H/Hr until we come in with our dark muffin batch and reel them in by the gills.

It's not hard to get more people in, we just need the manpower to do so.
Let's go in Attack Mode A...and spice this place up.

I can troll wrestle until the cows come home.

I'm a great troll wrestler, and if I can sell the BIGGEST RIPOFF grand finale pack for 99.99 to TWO different people at work, I can convince a few shippers to join us here.


And I do believe it's time for a sig. revamping.

Hmm. Why don't we open up a few to keep the forum running for another week, and hold off on a few others more fitting for after HBP. In fact, with HBP, there will probably be plenty of more opportunities for new topics concerning DG and Draco and Ginny, respectively. We'll go through them, then smile.gif

But I love it, nonetheless.

This is a brilliant idea, I only wish I had a stable internet connection :S. I think we should have more roundrobins (well, there hasn't been an active one all the time I've been around, and we so have to change that!)

I'll contribute more ideas (promise!) as soon as I get back home (early august).

I'm glad that there is participation for the rebirth of the forum. I have been a D/G shipper since book 2 actually. I had a recurring thought about the two and wondered how interesting that would be to know that Draco couldn't be as bad as what he seems. (Well, not evil anyway.) Since Pansy Parkinson did say that 'all the guys want her', I wondered if Draco wouldn't want to see what all the fuss was about. Anyway, good luck to you all and D/G forever!

I will certainly try to help spread the word on this ab fab ship.

Well, first I read some D/Hr stuff, which i just found totally out of the blue.
I then found this fic called Love is a Battlefield, which has D/G as the side ship. (great fic too)
To cut a long story short, i talked about it with my friend and she recommended HEAPS of D/G stuff which I absolutely loved and have since been a loyal follower.

Okay, I just stumbled upon the forums here. I am an avid D/G enthusiast. I absolutely cannot fathom either of this pair with anyone else. They are each unique and full of depth. The relationship possibilities are endless. As I am sure you all are as well, I am quite disheartened by the lack of stories for our duo lately. I will agree that with the release of HBP it is a little difficult to persuade potential newbies that this ship could happen. However, I only see the possibilities for this ship. Oh, yes, there are endless ways in which they could live their lives.

I do agree that we should take this campaign to the other forums, do a little recruiting if you will.

The recent Felix Felicis competition seemed to be successful, but most of the stories were H/Hr. I don't know if it is possible, but what about a strictly D/G competition? It could have guidelines such as, must be acknowledge events of HBP, new fiction, and whatever other requirements we can come up with to add twists and excitement.

I noticed there was the one night where everyone seemed to be "on" and a flood of ideas poured forth in this topic. It might be interesting to pick a day/time and encourage as many interested members to join in and post. The more supporters we have together at one time, the better discussions we'll have. I think it would really help us grow. We could even pass the word around to other shippers, so they could drop by. Let them see how excited we are about our ship!

Well, there are my ideas, hopefully they aren't too bad. blush.gif I'm glad I found this forum topic, and I look forward to fantastic discussion about this perfect couple!

I couldn't agree more. Yes, HBP has slowed down D/G activity and support to about nil... that's why we, the mods of DG, started this topic. However, out of pure bad luck it just so happens that all three of us are seniors in high school. To be a senior in high school is essentially taking away every second of free time we have, because of college applications and all that.

Picking a day/time may be great in theory, but kind of difficult in practice. To get all D/Gers in the forums at once and a large enough mod team to well, moderate, would be extremely hard given our schedules. As it is, the forum needs a sweep, anyway.

Hi Crystal, and thank you for the big welcome! Please feel free to use my real name, Amy... it is definately considerabley shorter! I am going to go check out the forum you suggested, it sounds great.

I understand how busy life is for the three of you...senior year was very busy for me. Hey, just wait until you get to your senior year in college! tongue.gif I am lucky enough to own my own business, which I run from my home, so if I can be of any help, I have a rather flexible schedule. I actually have a degree in English composition. This forum, along with the stories themselves are invaluable. I am thankful to have a place to openly discuss creative thoughts and improve writing skills.

Thank you for the kind words, and I truly look forward to many more "chats" with you and all our other loyal ship enthusiasts!

The recent Felix Felicis competition seemed to be successful, but most of the stories were H/Hr. I don't know if it is possible, but what about a strictly D/G competition? It could have guidelines such as, must be acknowledge events of HBP, new fiction, and whatever other requirements we can come up with to add twists and excitement.


I think it sounds like a great idea! It might even get more people into shipping D/G. I know there are a lot of good fan fiction D/G writers on here and It'd be cool to see what people think up. smile.gif

Humm. have you thought of uttilizing the Chat room? I have had trouble getting in, so maybe it no longer works. I found back in the old days that chat really brought people together, and us loser in the old crowd came up with some pretty awsome ideas just fooling around in chat.

It's hard to say what we should do to encourage D/G, I find there are endless possibilities when it comes to fan fiction, but sometimes it's hard to discuss the finer points. I've always thought Portkey needed some form of 'prizes,' though it's been a while so maybe they have. Like if we had more contests or something, I don't know lol. I just know that D/G fans are a little nicer than well... some other shippers, and this used to be a pretty happening place when I was around, it would be great to see it up and running again in all it's glory.

Yeah, some more contests would be nice and I like the chat idea.

I agree that D/G shippers seem to be nicer. We're a more lenient bunch it seems.

Well if you want a chat just for Portkey d/g shippers ^^
Just open this address in a new window when you're surfing the forums: http://gabbly.com/http://talk.portkey.org/...hp?showforum=14

it automatically creates a chat room for those browsing the forums. That way we could get to know each other better and maybe have new ideas for topics in the forums thumbup.gif.

Yeah, that is a problem... Maybe we could organise times when we try to be on? Of course with different timezones and all, it's not going to be easy blush.gif .
moogle
Ahh, no my timezone is so annoying though. No one is ever on when I am *sighs*

Can I introduce myself to the D/G forum here? At any rate, I'm Hobbes, a small Fire and Icer. This place could be so great, it just needs some fixing. I'll help in anyway I can.
moogle
Hey Hobbes! Good to have you here!!!
Hobbes
Nice to be here. I have an idea for the forum. I know it's kind of late for a Halloween fic-a-thon, but hey, it would be fun for everybody. Just an idea.
moogle
Ooo, or we could do a Christmas fic-a-thon.

Since Christmas is coming up soon?
Sakura1287
I like that idea, making it a Christmas fic-a-thon.

Are you talking forum wide, or just here in the D/G sub-forum?


Kristina
moogle
Well, it would be cool if we could have it just D/G, even if it is forum wide. Hey, that way we might be able to recruit more people, lol.
Hobbes
Yeah, that's a good idea. Forum-wide we would great, all of us working together and like moogle said, we could get more people. How can we organize everybody though? *puts on thinking cap*

Oh it's all about advertisement and greeters in the newbie forum.
Also, if we band together and get involved, it'll probably happen. The more activity a brewin' the more curiosity people will have about it.
Talking to Crys (inthestars) about it sounded wonderful. They're gaining back the ambition to reinvent it again, banding together would probably be the best bet. This totally sounds like some bandwagon battalion war tactic. Ew. I'm not really going for that approach at all. Oh well!
Good to see you piddlin' around in here as well, Qualyn. smile.gif

I'm totally in, again, by the way.
Lord knows I should just install a USB outlet in my wrist so I can be offically connected to my computer.

it seems rather quite here if i do say so myself. i'm not allowed of the FireAnfIce forums because i used the word "retarded"...*grumbles* whatever.
but these forums are so quiet. i have gotten one email with a response to things posted. sad.gif
hop hop hip to it people. smile.gif i'm up for a chat. i was discussing Transfiguration in the forums on the other website before i was so suddenly banned without warning or proper explanation.
moogle
it seems like people come and people go. I had no internet for ages so I haven;t been able to go on the computer and I've been working on a novel that is keeping me busy.

Okay, since Christmas is over how about we do a valentines day one instead?

Ah, RaineMalfoy that is annoying when things like that happen, especially if you are like me and type whatever comes to your head without thinking.
Hobbes
That would be a good idea. I could come up with some on the spot Valentines Day fic. But how would we spread the word with no mods in sight?
moogle
I don't know any mods but maybe there is a place where we could post a thread advertising our idea to them?

It would be nice to get people to be more enthusiastic about the D/G ship, because in most cases people don't like it because they haven't read it. I hope we can change that.
Hobbes
How about we make a thread in the Challenges section and put little remider things in our sigs? It's a way to get it out there and it would only be a few days after Valentine's Day. Give people a few days to think on it and then have a shipload of D/G fics. What do you guys think?
moogle
Sounds good. Who wants to start the thread up?

Once that is up, we'll get the links to the thread in our sigs.
Hobbes
I'll do it. The link should be up in a bit.

EDIT: It's done! Fic-a-Thon of Greatness
TwistedPixie
lol, i love the name!! very nice
moogle
Hrm, now I have to think of something to write. Do I do the whole, they're married etc or do I simply have it as a random encounter that ends in a snog....*thinks*

Any suggestions?
