Hey,

I thought it would be fun if people, especially new writers had a place to post their ideas for any D/G fic, and see what the general response to their fic would be.

Also we could help develop an idea with everyone putting in their thoughts.

For example: I have this fic that I'm thinking of writing. Basically Draco's in 7th year and Ginny's in 6th and one day Harry, Hermione and Ginny are sitting around looking at some of Lavenders cheesy romance novels. Well of course Draco comes onto the scene, being his usual annoying, yet adorable, self and somehow Draco and Ginny get sucked into one book and Harry and Hermione get sucked into the other. The only way for them to get out is to ride out the book to the bitter end.

Harry and Hermione are pretty close to the end so they're okay but Draco and Ginny are right at the beginning. Also they can't go anywhere in the book the characters don't

Well I'm at the early stages of planning for this story and I thought it would be nice if everyone gave their input. Like plot ideas and the like.

Well what do you all think? Also if anyone has an idea they want to run by people post it here.

Oh and PS D/G get sucked into a book about a pirate who kidnaps a girl (Draco in leather - need I say more?) and I'm not sure about H/Hr

I like the premise, but I'm wondering how it'll work to switch from one book to the other....

Raini

If you did that, I would like to see just Draco and Ginny. Like, maybe they come back, and they think it's been forever, but it's only been like a few hours. And they like one another then, and Harry and Hermione are like "What happened?"

PM me if you do this.

I'm writing chapter seven of my fic, "Finding Forever" and I'm kinda needing some ideas. I have the main direction of my story planned out, but I'd like some little plot ideas. Does anyone who has read it have any ideas? Also, I'm debating whether to keep my current idea of what the amulet will do, so if anyone has a suggestion I might replace it... Thanks so much!

Raini

Right then... well, i'm writing my first fic (everyone writes one eventually, right?) and I'm a bit stuck on the plot. If i post it here, PROMISE you won't steal it... I i thought about it for a long time on it and im anticipating a nice fic. right then.

Draco and Ginny had a bit of a history together, but decided to break it off. Ginny is now with Harry, and Draco is getting freaky with the Slytherin house inside and out. Then Draco's sister, (name here? I was thinking Antonia) comes to visit. Ginny wonders why she isn't in school, and figures out that his sister is a SQUIB. sooo thats where i am so far and i have no idea where to go from there. PLEEEASSE help me!

Oh, and why is there a black dot on that envelope thingie? it makes me v. v. sad!

The black dot is telling you, that you left a post at this topic

oh good... i was afraid it was like, dot o' death or something well, now you know im a newbie lol. Butttt anyway. HELP ME!

Sounds very interesting.

If you are introducing another Malfoy character, it is easy to bring up alot of tension. Maybe this girl (Antonia is a very good name) could become Ginny's friend, and that is why mixes up the whole past relationship.

Have fun with it, and i look forward to reading it when it is done.

Wow, I just read this, oh say a minute ago, no really I did. It's posted here people, look for it.
Well anyway, It's already great, but lets see plot, plot...

Oh, well from first impression Antonia seemed nice, and since she's visiting Draco it looks like she cares for him a great deal...
Hmmm I'm not good at this, but here I go: Ginny freaks out after meeting her and makes a hurried excuse to get away from her. Antonia procedes to the Hospital wing & sees that Draco is not his usual calm & collected self. She makes him tell her what's wrong. He tells & Antonia decides to help. Tada; she's match-maker! She'll probably also try to avert Daddy Lucius's attention elsewhere, maybe towad herself, she'll mess up or something & since she's a squib it's safe to say that he'll take the bait & get pissed at her & not notice Draco & Gin.

Wow, how bad was that! Yup, I'm cetainly bad at this. i just wanted to help.
Well anyway, update soon, I wanna see what happens.

could you post a link or something, so we could read it first?

Hey, that sounds fun. Post a link when you're done.

That sounds fun! hehe.

I wrote like 3 chapters of a fic that i started but i haven't gotten around to finishing, owing to my amazing laziness and apprehension for being accepted here, hehe. Mine got rejected because i had Harry kissing Ginny at the beginning, but she doesnt' want it and so on... i had no idea they coudn't kiss. ma.

But the basis of my fic is that D/G had a previous relationship and ended it because of Lucius (grrrr). Draco also goes on about purity of blood and whatnot. But then... Ginny bumps into Antonia, Dracos sister who is a squib! Lucius had let no one know about her and now he just wants to kill her so she goes to hogwarts for Draco's support... Ginny meets/befriends her and tahts where i am about now... what do you think?

hehe, sorry about the extensive plotline

Hmm . . . this is a tempermental thread to be posting on. Writers tend to be a bit protective over their story lines, so it might not be best to write out your plot ideas, as someone might come along and rip it off.

Though I think that it'd be interesting if people posted out ideas about how'd they like to see a Draco/Ginny relationship, and writers take up the challenge of creating those plots. Almost like a challenge, but not?

A link would help. But here are a helpful hint of two when it comes to writer's block.

-Go back and read what you have written so far and then using that information, plot the course ahead. It should help if you work out the details as you progress. Don't plan out every single detail ahead of time before you start the writing. As you're reading it you might see a different direction to take, do whatever feels best.

-Use the reviews you've recieved to help. See what they like or don't like and if any of them predict anything, use that as an idea.

-Sit back and think about the basic story line, see if what you've written falls onto the line, if not then rework the story line to fit what you've written.

Well it's an interesting idea . . . except for one thing - Why would a squib be at Hogwarts? How old is this girl? What other information have you've given her?

There could always be the whole love triangle thing. Antonia and Ginny could become friends once you decide how in the world she got to Hogwarts. Well Draco is ashamed of his sister due to some unknown reason, something could be wrong with her that Ginny doesn't know about. Well Antonia makes friends with Ginny and her friends ( Harry, Ron, and Hermione ). Then she starts hitting on Harry when Ginny isn't around, showing off the traditional Malfoy trait of being sneaky and sly and such. Harry and her could get together, leaving Ginny in the dumps, and she has no one to turn to so she ends up going to Draco to help get rid of this sister. Draco of course is ashamed of her because she is a squib, so he'd be more then glad to get rid of her and make sure there is only one Malfoy at Hogwarts. In the process they fall back in love with one another, and then Harry comes groveling back after Antonia leaves, but true love and that sort keeps Draco and Ginny together. The End!

Sounds like a cheesy teen movie, but oh well.

I don't think Antonia goes to Hogwarts, I think she's just visiting Draco

But anyway phoenixwriter, I like your plot a heck of a lot better than mine.

By the way magnolia90, have you updated?

Hmm... I like what Phoniex said, but I want to out in my own two cents.

I am reading a story similar to the plot you are thinking of. Draco's unknown sister comes to Hogwarts and is sorted into Grffy, befriends Ginny and the Trio, and both she and Draco are hiding a dark secret... yada yada yada. So I thought I'd warn you before you go down that well traveled road.

Don't get me wrong though, your plot seems good, and if thats the way you wanna go by all means go ahead! I'm just encouraging you to but your own original spin on it.

Your first focus must be on Antonia. You must give her some type of history. Not having a definite background planned out in the begining could make your plot unstable and give it a few holes.

Y'know what I mean, have certain things already down for Antonia. Such as, 'Where did she come from?', was she in a private school or instiution for all girl witches? Or is she a squib and spent her life living in Malfoy Manor, or some far-away boarding school so she couldn't cause Lucius shame. How old is she? And why is she at Hogwarts? And for how long? Because, I doubt a squib would feel comfortable around alot of witches and wizards, especially if that squib is a Malfoy, there is a reputation and a noble name to uphold. (But hey its your story you do it your way! haha)

Also, you have to decide on what type of personality Antonia is going to have.
Is she going to be the sly cunning slytherin in sheeps clothing, a good girl, or mix of both. And if you decide she isn't a squib and you want her to attend Hogwarts as a student what house should she be sorted into? Naturally people would only choose between Slytherin of Gryffindor, however there are 2 other choices. It quite common for people to place their extra Malfoy member into Gryffindor house, have the extra Malfoy befriend the trio, fall in love with Harry, Ron, or Hermione (depending on the sex of course..haha) and become fast and best friends with Ginny which usually causes Lucius to go insane. And then on the other side of the specturm, the extra Malfoy is sorted into Slytherin but hangs out mostly with Gryffindors(namely the Trio and Ginny), which causes angry house rivalry and livid Lucius. (haha Livid Lucius.. that sounds funny!)

But it doesn't really matter what house shes in, if u decides to sort her that is, he depends on the personality. Does she care for Draco, cas she see through the bad-boy exterior he puts on day by day and really reach him. (Not in a sappy way, but since they are sister and brother and had to grow up in same way in the samw house she could be the one he REALLY talks to, he can't really talk to those brainless dolts Crabbe and Goyle. And once a again I dont mean in a sappy way I mean from anything to Quidditch to the next Transfiguation essay he has). And if they have this connection she could she that he has feelings for Ginny and... well... casue mischief *wink wink* haha!

I dont know how to tie Ginny into all of this yet. She and Antonia could be friends, or she and Ginny could be they same age or something. And depending on when you set this fic, Ginny could be the prefect assigned the job of excorting Antonia around, and thats how their friendship coulld start. Well, thats enough from Sassy! haha

Whoa! I wrote alot! Naturally that was just advice, so if this displeases you, you can disregard all of it! haha. If ya need anymore help. You can IM me, PM me, or email me! (Haha I feel like kim possible!... Call me, beep me if ya wanna reach me Haha enough of my rambling! Bye! *waves*

lol i completely and wholly agree with Sassy. I like that plot idea best. No plot bunnies are jumping in my head at this moment though. sorry!

If you guys need to read the begginings of the fic I thing magnolia90 posted the link on here. Just snoop around the D/G threads, you'll find it. It might help if you read what she already has.

Hmmm, I now think my plot sucks. lol
But it was just to get the ball running, so I don't really care. I thoroughly suck at plots.

Hey Amber Your fic idea is great when you write it i will so be there and reading it i am shore i will love Your fic no matter what cause. I loveeee H/Hr fics and thankfully it looks like your going to put alittle of that in thanks. And i adore D/G i can see it happening most people don't see it happening but i so hope it does. Anyway i love the idea about the books and everything whatever possessed you to think up something so brilliant like that. I can't wait til you start writting it. Later

Amber, that sounds so cool!

When you write it, I'll be there to read it.

AH! I love it too, Amber! tell us when you start writing it so we can all go read it!!! ^-^ good luck!

and magnolia i saw you post about that on another topic before. it sounds lke a really good idea! I think it's amusing to think of Draco having a squib related to him! *snicker*

~Ryoko~

Okay, so I was bored and was thinking about what I could do. I figured I might write a fic. So here's my idea:
Have any of you guys ever read any of Janet Evanovich's(sp?) Stephanie Plum books? If you haven't go check them out! Well basically, I thought I'd use this as the first step and loosely base it around the book. In the book Stephanie (who Ginny would be) is a bail bond agent and goes and gets people who skip their court date. (I know what you are thinking... "But all the wizards who break the law go to Azkaban!" but the only ones addressed as going their that we know of are murders and such. Say you steal something, would they send you to Azkaban? probably not because you'd go insane is days or somewhere around there. At least that's how I figure.) So, Ginny decided that instead of becoming an auror like Harry, Ron and Hermione, she wanted to stand on her own two feet.... The bail bond agency reports to the head of a small group of aurors.... Draco Malfoy.... what happens when Ginny is in such close proximity...

The idea is still in the planning stages, so the description is jumpy and a little rant-ish... sorry about that... Well, I'd appreciate any feedback you guys have... Thanks in advance

woo hoo i am posting a response... what, two months late? hehe sorry. silly vacation. i was in sweden-land, maine-land, and new york-land, plus my home. NO TIME AT ALL to continue writing my precious fic, tee hee.

But sassy, i looove your ideas. I was just writing the third chapter until traveling duty had called to me. But the basis is that Draco does love his sister, but evil evil lucius wants to kill her. D won't exactly die for her (thats not the draco we... er, I know and love), but he is still willing to protect her, mostly out of contempt for his father. Antonia is visiting to get away from Lucius, because he has been threatining her and such. I know its a bit holey, but I'll get through it. Then... Ginny and Antonia become friends, she finds out her squibosity, da da da... then Ginny and Draco discuss it together, leading to... heh heh heh. woo!

Im not sure if i should change the beginning though. Do you think that they should have been enemies before this happened? or should i keep it as they had a relationship before? Im trying as hard as i can not to be cliche.

wooo thats it!

Sorry, here's the link.

I've finished my 7th chapter, but my beta is still working on it. Still up for ideas...

i can help you in that...and make a fanfic

I've had an idea for a fic for awhile, but I don't know how well it will work, and I haven't had much time to try it out.

Anyway, I basically want to write D/G into canon. After all, everything you see IS from Harry's eyes, so it's possible that both Draco and Ginny are doing things that we don't read about. Obviously, they aren't together, but we can pretend Obviously, this would have to use a lot of JKR's work in the fic, which is another reason why I haven't had a lot of time to really work on it, but I have made some notes here and there. There are only a few interactions that Harry sees or that we are aware of - CoS, Flourish and Botts, and OotP, Umbridge's office/Bat-Bogey Hexes, off the top of my head. What I would want to do is start with Book 1, though, and just go from there.

Does this sound at all remotely interesting? If it does, I may actually try it out.

I love this thread,

Amber, love the idea, hope you do it.

I had the first 2 and 1/2 chapters of something written out where Draco was assigned to date the girl Harry loved. Voldemort, of course, told Lucius to instruct his son to do so. Because Voldemort thought that Harry loved Ginny. And in luring Ginny through Draco, Voldemort could have Ginny for himself again and also lure Harry into a trap. But the instructions were just for Draco to seduce the girl Harry loved. So Draco started dating Hermione.

Then he lets Ginny in on the secret that he's only dating Hermione because he was told to and then he finds out it's the wrong girl. So he enlists Ginny's help to help break up with Hermione without getting Ron and Harry too mad... blah blah blah.

There's also a lot of subplottage in the Slytherin 6th years. Like Pansy's doing drugs and such. Hee. If there's interest I'll try and get it rolling again.

I love this thread too!

That sounds like a really cool idea for a fic, vanillapuf. I'd be interested in reading it.

I had a fic going for awhile that I lost interest in writing, and alot of people want me to keep going. It involved Hogwarts having alot more muggle features, such as alot of drugs and party-ing going on. Ginny was quiet, shy, and depressed, and her only friend is outgoing Blaise Zabini. Blaise drags her along to a party in Draco's room, and Draco takes a sudden interest in her. [might be because he's drunk]

Basically Ginny warms up to the party life, unfolds herself from depression thanks to Draco, and becomes [ironically] a better and stronger person via the Syltherin lifestyle. [although she does NOT get resorted....she stays a Gryffindor]

It is a very shaky plot and needs more conflict, but I need more inspiration before I can continue. If anyone wants to read what I have so far, you can find it at my fanfiction account. It's called "Fear of Needles".

I love the concept but I think that in reality the time should only be a few minuets that elapse before they come out, but Draco and Ginny think it has been months. I love your idea! Would you email me when your trying to read the first chapter, or if you need a beta reader...
