Mod's request here. ~gal-texter


Everyone had one certain fic that started off the D/G craze for them, didn't they? Was it an awesome one, that just made you have to look for more? Or was it a not so amazing one, making you want to find a more plausible scenario?

I was just wondering what started the great D/G reign for the rest of you.

Oo! Yay, This is so weird, I was thinking about what started my obsession last night! I'm happy you put this up here

It was a fan fiction by ThatBlondeChic, I don't know if anyone else knows about her; she usually writes Buffy fanfic (another obsession). But, I was affiliated with her site, and she had a D/G layout, and I was like "um... weird, I never really heard of this ship before..." (this was before I became hopelessly obsessed with HP), and she had written a few fan fictions about them.

So, obviously, I was insanely curious and couldn't help but read them. And my obsession was born. It was about Draco saving her during a quidditch game (clique!), but there was twists. Draco held her hand because he couldn't help himself (but he was in character, I swear!), and they couldn't let go. Literally. Some magic-wizard-witch-thingy. She held onto his hand like a literal lifeline and they were stuck that way. She hadn't finished it, and I lost the site, so...

Wow, long post. Shutting up now.

~Faith~

Well would you believe I didn't have a fic that did that for me? I put it into my very first fanfic because one day it just hit me. Like a mallet. Like a, "hey, that'd be fun" mallet. So I stuck it in. Only after people were like "oh I love D/G" did I go and read D/G. I didn't even know there was an actual following.

Once I did start reading, I don't remember what my first fic was. LOL, waaay too many over the years.

I cant remeber what my first fic was, but I do remeber sitting in front of my computer while searching fanfiction, and I was thinking about what ships would be good to read, all of the sudden D/G came to mind, and its been love, so to speak, ever since.

My first D/G fic that got me going was probably Serpent's Bride by (sorry) i forgot who but it was a really really really awesome fic.

Well......Right now I'm talking to the person that got me into D/G, and she's telling me what fic she read first.......and okay,she's come to a decision. The first D/G fic she read was Lessons of the Heart (which is really sweet. He gives her a rose for and it describes the person's feelings for the giver by the color of it. It starts out black and ends up deep red at the end!!) on fanfiction.net, and it was becuase there were a bunch of fics with really good plots but they were all D/G and so she said "Why not?" and read them.

and that was a reeeally long run-on sentence.

~Ryoko~

Edit:Ps; I just went to ff.net and found it if you want to read the fic.

Lessons of the Heart by Cassi0peia

Summary:When Ginny Weasley catches Draco Malfoy doing something he shouldn't be, she blackmails him to teach her to fly. But will they both learn a lot more?

It's complete, don't worry!

Oh I've read lessons of the heart, that IS a really good fic, Ryoko!

Even though I started this thread I realized I didn't put what MY first one was! I'm sure alot of people have read this one, but the first D/G fic I read was "Wrongfully Accused" by Mochabutterfly. I reda it because I really liked Ginny and the ship just intrigued me, so I read even more D/G and eventually started writing my own!

Isn't D/G great? *sigh*

Hmmm... I cannot remember what my first d/g fic was. I only started to read D/G because I was looking for a different fic and didn't know it was what I was looking for. I read it and was like, "waiittt.... what is this?" lol. Then, of course, I had to finish it because I can't stand not finishing books a stories. Then it took off from there. Ah. Sorry about going off in that random tandrum. I didn't even answer the question. lol. Oh well.

Hmm...actually I dont remember how I got hooked. I believe I accidentally found this site from an CCS S/S site. Then I stumble across VioletJerseys fic that is sorta tide in with The Serpent's Bride . Her fic is about what happened to the sexy red lingerie. The story is REALLY NC-17.

After that I emailed her about the Serpents Bride. Then she helped me find the fic....from then on I am 100% D/G ship shipper.

Edited: The story the Violet Jerseys wrote I talked about is call Beauty of the Fire


Rate: NC-17
Summary: a companion fic for Reiko Naoi's Serpent Bride! if you wanna know what REALLY happened to Ginny's famouse red lingerie... then go on and read it!

ooh! the first fanfic that got me hooked on Draco/Ginny was All you need is love by mocha butterfly. it was such a well written fan fic that its what started my whole D/G obsession.

*feels horribly pathetic and sad cause everyone read Mochabutterfly's work except her*

anyone have a link? *sniff* so lost.....

~Ryoko~

My first D/G fic was some smutty fic. What can I say. I like smut. Anyway, after that I started reading more and more D/G and now I've even ventured into the fluffy PG rated stories.

I haven't really set time aside to read Mochabutterfly's work, but another great fanfic author that has kept me reading D/G is Davesmom at fanfiction.net. She has really good fics.

Thanks, Rhenn! I've read Davesmom's fics before too. They're really good! I like "The Weasel and the Kneazle". I wish I had a kneazle!!!!! So adorable...

~Ryoko~

I love "The weasel and the kneazle." Daves Mom is such a good writer. Jesse, I wish I had a kneazle too! lol

Yep, it was Serpent's Bride by Reiko Naoe for me too (it's on AT on Fictionalley if you want to go look at it *prod prod*) Did you know she's making a sequel or a new really awesome D/G fic? That's what I heard from her beta at least...

~Nicole

The first fanfic was actually an h/hr fic with d/g in it. it's called The Last Task by karenkate-kitty at fanfiction.net. It's a really great fic! Though before I went into the h/hr section at ff.net, i thought, maybe I'll see if there is any fanfictions for draco and ginny. they make a good couple. well, i went to check out the h/hr fanfics first and that's how i came across The Last Task. i was lucky that it was just completed. if you want to chek out the fic, here's the link:

The Last Task
MOD NOTE: here's its Recommendation thread ~gal-texter

The summary is: Harry's 7th and last year at Hogwarts will he finally defeat Voldemort? Will he be able to profess his feelings to her (Hermione) at last? And will Draco fall for a Redhead Gryffindor?

Sorry if i misspelled anything cuz my computer is slow n it keeps freezing. I have to restart it... Oh yeah, this is my first post... so i'm sort of new here... sort of...

I can't remember the first D/G fic I read, just that it was mainly R/Hr (I used to be a big fan of the pairing, but I've been turning H/Hr.), but with D/G on the side. I thought the pairing was so interesting and original, so I went to read more. The first completely D/G fic I read was The Past Didn't Go Anywhere by fearthainn. I was amazing, and since then I've been hooked.

By the way, all of fearthainn's writing is brilliant. Her fic-in-progress right now is Dark Directed, which might even turn out to be better than her other one. If you haven't already read either of the two, I highly reccomend them.

Now I feel really dumb, I know what you meant before Ryoko...

I haven't read The Serpents Bride yet, and I have to say it took my forever to finally find the time to sit myself down and read All you Need is Love.

As wonderful as these fics are, some are just really long and take forever to read. Those of you who have read the Draco Triology know what I mean when I talk about LOOOOONG fics.

By the way, Kneazles ARE cool!

heheh! *waves GO KNEAZLES! flag*

I lvoe them! so cute and cuddly...and since I cant get a cat of my own..*stupid parents*....

anywho, that's offtopic. Actually, Sakura, I'm in the middle of reading Draco Veritas still! ACK!!!

~Ryoko~

that's okay, im on chapter 5 still. But i love it so much! I'm dying for Draco and Ginny to get together still......grrr, stupid Seamus!!!!!!

anwho, yeah, this is really offtopic......

~Ryoko~

Yeah, the lack of D/G in that fic is annoying. Sorry about the off-topic-ness...

This thread isn't really one you can post on again and again...I mean you can only have ONE first D/G fic...hehe

my first one was THE DRAGON REBELS by LEE VELVIET on fanfiction.net. if you havent read it you should. its f***ing awesome

I've read some other stuff by Lee Velviet, but never that one. I'll check it out sometime.

The first Draco/Ginny fic I ever read was "The Serpent's Bride" By Reiko. I swear I stayed up almost all night reading that thing. But I could't stop reading, it was that good. I'm pretty new to the fandom so a lot of the fics you guys have mentioned I've never read before. Looks like I might be up all night again tonight too!

I don't know what started it, but I do remember that I was obsessed with Buffy/Spike and somehow I got on this site, I thought it was Magical Theory, and I read tons of Draco/Ginny and I fell in love with it. I haven't read one single B/S fic since Maybe it's because Draco's hotter then Spikey

Well what started the D/G thing for me was Cassie and Lori... Those wenches *Grin*

It's actually fun to think that i have been in the HP fandom shipping D/G for two years now... I'm starting to feel old.

However the first strictly D/G writer i learned to love was probably wmlaw. *Sigh* I love her.

Hello, this my first post.

When I first started to read HP fanfics(about six months ago), I was strictly a R/Hr shipper. *ducks flying objects* Then one day I was poking around FF.net looking for something different to read and discovered D/G. The first one that I recall reading was Forever With You which is finished now and remains one of my favorites. Then I discovered the wonderful classics such as Serpent's Bride, All You Need Is Love and of course the Draco Trilogy(which marked the first time I read anything with H/Hr in it). So now I'm hooked for life.

Hmm... I can't remember when exactly I started reading D/G fics, but I think my two first fics were probably Wrongfully Accused by MochaButterfly, and The Little Child to Lead Them by Strangerwithmyface.

I think...

- MalfoyMyFerret

my first was "Our Winter" by Jade Okelani. that has remained my favorite fic. it's sooooooo beautiful.

My first D/G fanfic was [COLOR=silver] Ginny thinks she in love. From then on I love the ship D/G.

Holla

My first real D/G fic was The More is My Unrest and its sequel Rising from Ashes. I'm sure you've read them, they're absolutely awesome. Rising from Ashes is one of the best fics I've ever read. And I'm including PoU Series and the Draco Trilogy. If you've never read them you need to. The Yahoo!Group is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/risingfromashes/.

Em

I was a Ron/Hermione shipper at first. ..I actually started writing two fics about them before i kind of felt like they just weren't *my* pairing and browsed around before reading Davesmom's 'Desperado'. Now THAT fic was THE fic that made me a D/G shipper!!! and now i'm a diehard fan. the end! it's really gr8, i agree with Rhenn, Davesmom's fics rule.

My first D/G fic that I absolutely fell in love with was The Little Child TO Lead THem by STrangerwithmyface. I became a convert to the D/G ship because of it!
I also agree with the above post. DAvesmom rules! There's one fic where GInny has to give all the boys at Hogwarts a kiss(some type of spring ritual) and ends up kissing Malfoy. THat has to be my fav one-shot from Davesmom!!

I don't really know what made me like D/G. All I know is that I was walking around not knowing anything really, but thinking a little, something like. Oooh, Harry/Ginny. That would maybe be fun... but then maybe not. Maybe Ginny/Neville... or something. What? Some people like Draco Malfoy? Scary people, stay away from me. AAAAAHHH

And suddenly I read a lot of Draco/Ginny.
The first story I read was P.S. I Love You by VirtualFaerie. It's really good, and I've read a lot of the stories that she has written.

I don't know if I read it by accident and started liking D/G, or if I thought "Hey, Draco and Ginny. That would be... interesting." But ever since, I've been a big fan.

For me it was Even Better Than The Real Thing.
Eclipsed Planet
Not done but still oh so good
Even Better Than The Real Thing

An Addictive Solution by underyourstars is one of my favorite D/G fic.

An Addictive Solution

I dont know if I posted on this topic, but I think the first D/G fic I read was "all you need is love" by mocha butterfly. It got me hooked on D/G!

Even though Serpent's Bride was what got me into Draco/Ginny fics, my first real Draco/Ginny fic that I actually read was Wickedly Delicious by Black Pearl.

I read Wickedly Delicious at the start of my D/G obsession as well.. it was good. Doesn't it have a sequel called Tainted Tastes, or something like that? I think that one lost my interest though, or maybe it was never completed...

-Sakura

Yea. The sequel is called Tainted Tastes. She updates like... once every two or three months. Its gotten so confusing with that blue light possessing everyone. I just hope she updates soon.

Blue light? heh, it's been awhile.

If things get confusing, and aren't updated in ages, I just loose interest. *shrug*

-Sakura

Hi people! Merry Christmas!

I'd like to make a request similar to this one.

Thanks for reading that.
~Pen

My first Draco/Ginny was Atypical Lesson by Sarea Okelani. I thought it was excellent! My second one was The Pleasure Principle by Babygrrl, which I also liked. Both of these were on restricted section.

I must confess that these are the only two I've read so far. I've always been partial to Harry/Hermione and Lily/James, so I haven't fully explored the Draco/Ginny stories yet. But I liked very much the two I've read.

The fic that made me be an D/G shipper was the Draco "oh so predictable" Sinister/Veritas. I fell in love w/ the Draco and the Ginny in the stories. Cassandra made they both be wonderful characters.....

By the way, i'm still in the #9 Veritas chapter...

ohh umm this might be kinda off topic but for the Draco Trilogies which one is the first one? I'm kinda confused by it.=/ I think it's Draco Sinister but I'm not sure. So yeahh if anyone can tell me that'd be great
