Hey Hwimsey,
I've been keeping an eye on this story almost from the beginning, and now that it's finished (I try to avoid getting caught up in WIPs) and I'm caught up on my other reading, I figured it's about time I actually started reading.
And, after one chapter, I'm very intrigued. The violence, the threat, the obvious tension and distance between Harry and Ginny -- all are pretty bold and exciting means to draw me in so early in a story.
Kudos as well for all the detail you put into creating your setting. It made the hospital, and Ginny's place in it, very tangible. I did think the hospital jargon might have been a bit too Muggle-derived for my tastes, but it did add the realism of the dialogue so I can definitely see went there.
So, anyway, I can't say exactly how good I'm going to be about reviewing, but I'll do my best. And I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing where you take this.

Well, I swore I wouldn't but here I am startina story that isn't finished once again.
You are off to a good start. I like, what is an obviously tormented, Ginny. It really is interesting how many people have her being a healer.
I get a little confused when we go into the ER. And any hospital I know of even if it were to be a magical one, would never have the assailants in the same room as the victims. Just a bit of an oversight that I saw. Other than that, I like the start. |

Hello! I've been meaning to read this story FOREVER. I keep hearing wonderfult things about it. I was hanging off for there to be a good chunk to dig into. I love my angst, but I like it when OTHER people are loading it on Harry and Ginny, not when they do it to each other, lol. Still, if everyone is raving the way they are, I know there must be good things to come!
I LOVE Ginny's version of a ciggarette break without the nicotine! Very funny. This was a very good opening chapter. ER like in its intensity, and the "He's coming for you, Ginevra" line wad very chilling.

I am thrilled, just thrilled you are reading this. You are the reason I found this site. I love your work. You are an incredible writer -- from your longer works to your one-shots, I cannot tell you how much enjoyment you've given me. I of course, am not as gracious as you are and am a lousy reviewer -- I will get my back field in motion and remedy that situation.
LOL, about the ER and cigarette break. I originally wanted to make her smoking but was talked out of it. I think it was a brilliant suggestion in retrospect!
Thanks again for taking the time to review. It means the world.

Hello MartinDean,
Thank you so very much for such a wonderful review. If you liked my story, I'd like to recommend Cursed by Myth and Legend. It is also found on this site. You will enjoy that tremendously.

| What a great story and suspenseful opening. It sounds like Ginny may be still carrying the torch for Harry. At the end she doesn't want to see hi, so, of course, I'm dying to find out what happened to their relationship. Is Voldemort still around? y gosh, already you'e raised so many good questions. What a gruesoe start .... is this going to continue in the same scary vain? |

Thank you for coming aboard! You're lucky -- most of these poor readers had to wait. They can be quite a fearsome lot.
And yes! It is going to continue in the same scary vein. Just finished up the most scary one yet -- but that will be posted in Feb. I think.
Thanks again!

| Oh, wow. This is SO good so far! I'm totally hooked. And I love fluff, especially your fluff, but it'll definitely be an interesting story even with less of it. It was pretty gruesome at some parts, but not over-the-top or anything, and the details and the characters were very vivid. I really can't wait until chapter two! That was quite a horrible cliff-hanger. *sigh* |

Hi Basketkiwi! How are you?
Thank you for your kind review. Yes, this chapter is particulary gory, but we don't revisit this level of carnage for a while. Now, while I may move away from fluff, I said nothing about moving away from romance or lust for that matter
Keep stopping by. I'd love to hear from you. And thanks again for the lovely review.

Anyway, the story. I don't know what to say because I'm struggling for words. This was incredible! How am I going to wait until the next chapter? Your writing is superb. You grabbed me right from the start and got me interested and excited. I can't wait to see where you take us on this new journey!

I'm so glad you're enjoying the story -- from a favorite reader and one of my favorite writers -- it means the world.

My first review was the source of misunderstandings, so let me publicly clarify: I've never said the story was not good or that I didn't like it.
My comment referred to Ginny's situation, and I was hoping to have hit on your intentions in creating this kind of atmosphere. - I did not say the story was a nightmare, even though I found it difficult to read, and saying that it needs explanation is a) hardly deniable and b) one way to say I'll be on the lookout for the next part, because I want to what happened.
Hope this has stopped the bleeding of your wounds! |
| Monday 6th November 2006 11:22 | The Coven of Echoes (Author Response) |
LOL. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt on that one!
Do you remember the "train" comment from my previous FF! Here I go off trying to justify that Harry and Ginny aren't sitting ON the train. Oh lord!
I can't promise it will be anymore easier to read, though. It's the nature of the beast. It's an angst-ridden, romantic, creepy mystery. A thick stew.
Don't worry about the wounds. I was a CPA for years and I have two small children, my skin is like leather.

So sad for Ginny -- you capture her sorrow well; nice imagery with the storm; both without and within .
Quite intense in the trauma ward. Why couldn't they save the parents? It seems like they delayed too much. Why are they so short staffed? (I know so many questions). And why is the ministry doing the wand imprint thing?
This is very good. You raise my curiosity in so many ways -- what was the song the man was singing? what is the significance of the cuts and removal of skin (octagon shaped)? what can't they touch the blood? It seems that there was some ritual going on. And who's coming to get Ginny ? Was the ritual to bring Voldemort back once again? Or is it someone worse (maybe Salazar himself)? And the auror in black must be Harry . I look forward to reading more for answers to these and other questions.

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. And thank you for the lovely review. Questions, questions, questions.
Yes, poor Ginny, she's in a world of hurt - literally. Sharp minded of you to pick up the storm imagery.
As for the family, remember they came in near death, suffering from a huge loss of blood, beaten to near death. St. Dymphna's had enough staff for a non-war time: Two trainees, two full fledged Healers and the Head of Trauma, but they got caught in a crisis. I think it would have helped if the DE didn't try to escape. At that point, all the incantations ceased, and one of the Healers was stabbed. Not good news.
The wand imprint thing I liken to having to take your shoes off when you go thru security in an airport. Does it help? Is it more of a hassle than a boon to safety. Governments aren't that much different.
Some of these questions I can't answer, of course. They can't touch the blood is my own invention. It has to do with the Charm -- there's nothing more than that. I became fascinated with Healer charms actually.
And yes, the black is
Thanks again for the review. It's a pleasure answering what I can.
Cheers,

Oh my....the long awaited "Coven"
This chapter is astonishing. It's drenched in the same dark hyponitc atmosphere I've last seen in "Cursed". Scary beginning. a battered, worn out Ginny. Don't know where this story will go, but it's close to the bone.
Her breath joined the fog where it disappeared to the sea.
Love lines kike that. OK,your've got my attention. Now I'm waiting for the next chapter. |

Hello!!!
How are you! Thanks so much for the lovely review. I know you like this kind of stuff (how's that for proper English!) Raw, tired, worn out is the theme -- it sets the stage for other emotions that don't always do so well with this underpining!
I liked that image too. I love seeing breath made manifest. And I'm very glad I've got your attention!

Where have you learned to write such gripping passages? Our dear Ms. Sayers wrote with a quality that pulled you in and could get the muscles in you shoulders tight and you have definitely achieved that here. From the start, you provided a great setting and mood that you continued to build on through the rest of the chapter. You didn’t just stay in the Ginny’s immediate area but helped us to see what she encountered on her brief respite from work.
“The echoes of ghosts swept down the darkened street running from the rising moon…”
I almost had to get a cup of tea to relieve the chill I felt on that cold evening; almost. Who could tear themselves away from this?
The visual images the passages evoked are quite vivid and when empathizing with Ginny’s fatigue from the long hours, it begs the readers to ask themselves: “How would I do under those conditions?”
The scene where Ginny is on break, looking up and the stars, closing her eyes and then feeling the rain on her cheek conveys the state she is in at this point. She doesn’t associate the raindrops as a symbolic measure of cleansing the days toil from her body but rather as tears, alluding to the potential that there is more pain in her life than comfort or reward. "Thank God no black..."
You have set a great tone for this story and I look forward to each installment.
~Very gripping! |
| Sunday 5th November 2006 18:52 | The Coven of Echoes (Author Response) |
Not just one review, but two!! You slay me. DLS is my idol when it comes to mysteries. Never in my wildest dreams will I ever be able to write like her -- but it's wonderful to dream!
You hit the nail on the head. Tone is key here. Tired, worn down, sad (we don't know exactly why) and then bam. All hell breaks loose.
I liked the rain as tears-- my dearest beta cleaned up my grammar on that one though!
Yes, the black is Harry of course. Will our black haired man make an appearance in the next chapter???
Hmmmmmmmm.
Thank you dearly for such a fabulous review.

Holy cow!
What the heck is going on here???
(You've made me incoherent!)
The little snippet you had in your LJ was great and got my attention, but it didn't do this justice. If I was hooked after that, it doesn't even come close to where I am now.
I was definitely on the edge of my seat while reading this. And you've conveyed Ginny's bone-crushing weariness *so* well (I've got a 6 month old--I know that feeling well).
This line got me: She never finished anything nowadays. That whole scene, actually, just seemed to describe Ginny's...hopelessness (I guess that's the word I want). The descriptions in this section caught my attention, too (I'm a sucker for word pictures like this--it's one of the things I fangirl Myth for).
I liked this description especially: Finding shelter under a fire escape in a nearby alley, she closed her eyes; one, two, three sucks, then she spit it out into her hand. She stared at it, the small yellow drop. Curling her fingers about it, she eyed her fingernails. They were yellow themselves now, chewed down to the quick. Fanning her other palm, she remembered a time when these nails used to be buffed to a shine: oval, perfect rings of semicircles, gracing long fingers, slender and full of healing. It emphasizes how far Ginny is from who she was.
And that makes me wonder...
What happened to get her to the place she is now? Part of it is probably the trials of being a healer, but there *has* to be something else.
And what happened between her and Harry? I don't think it's good, whatever it was. Her panic when she learned the Aurors would be involved and the last two lines point to that.
Ugh. I have way too many questions, and this is only the first installment.
More, please!

| Friday 3rd November 2006 23:57 | The Coven of Echoes (Author Response) |
Oh Julie.
You are a writer's dream, you are. I love your reviews.
You hit the nail right on the head with weariness. Raw emotions will run rampant thru this piece. Both Harry's and Ginny's -- so we needed to set the tone right off.
Never finished anything - was one of my favorite quotes. Great minds, right?
Oh, a six month old. You know weary -- that is weary beyond weary. So tired your spit is sleepy. My condolences. But what a joy too. A lucky baby to have such a wonderful mom.
Yes, it has to do with something else. You picked up on her panic and her dread that one of the Aurors would be Harry. Perfect.
I hate to tell you, more questions to come. But that's what mystery's are all about.
Thanks so much for such a heart-felt review.

| Hmm. That was a good begining. The last black, is that her saying there was a black haired person, or no? And, what does the Dark Mark mean? Voldemort is defeated right? Hmm. Canh't wait for more. And Ginny needs to rest herself. For being a Healer, she should know that she needs to rest. Very good. |
| Friday 3rd November 2006 20:38 | The Coven of Echoes (Author Response) |
Hi daniel! How are you doing?
Let's see. Yes, the last black is Ginny saying that their are no black haired wizards, ie, no Harry. Oh, I can't tell you about the Dark Mark, nor the flesh removed from the father's arm -- I'd give too much away.
Yes, that poor girl really needs to rest. I'm not very nice to my characters when it comes to sleep, I'm afraid.

Wow! So this is what you did with all that interesting stuff I looked up. Turned it into an amazing suspenseful chapter that grabs the reader by the throat. I loved Ginny's biting humor, yet through which you can sense darker, underlying feelings that have nothing to do with humor. One can really feel her weariness. Great vivid imagery! The ending, of course, surprised the heck out of me when that wizard stabs himself and then warns Ginny. Whoa! What was all that about? I loved the very end when she scans the hair color of the Aurors before she faints. I can't wait for next chapter to see what you have planned for us.
As I have said before, this has been so much fun for me, and I have gained a wonderful friend in the process, a truly win/win situation. |

| Hello my dear. Good grief, you don't pull your punches, do you? This is off to an absolutely fabulous start. I can't believe how much drama you've put into just one chapter, and you've captured the frantic and often exhausting pace of life in a hospital beautifully (I should know, I work in one). So many questions are whirling in my head, I can't pick which one to ask you! So I'll just settle for offering you congratulations (and congrats too for winning the Reader's Choice Award - I had a feeling that you wrote that wonderful story), and I hope that you update as fast as you did for The Eyes Have It.

I love this story, actually. I know I shouldn't say that, but I'm having a blast writing it. In addition, I need to thank kelleypen and iviolinist for their betaing talents.
Thanks. I wanted to have a completely frantic pace at the beginning. That coupled with the sheer boredom and exhaustion. I'm honored to have a real healer see that in the work.

Wow... what a way to kick off a story! Who's coming for Ginny? And WTH is up with the Dark Mark? Are we dealing with Death Eaters again, or a new group altogether?
And I'm really interested to see the backstory between Harry & Ginny. I know not to expect fluff in this piece, but do we see them work things out later on?
Just like the SNL sketch... "I need more backstory! There's not enough backstory!"
Excellent start! |

| Wow. That was intense and wonderful to read. I am somewhat in awe and don't really know what to say that wouldn't sound pedestrian and overly simplistic. I am always amazed at your attention to detail. I was completely carried away by this chapter and found it very easy to become engaged in the procedings. Your stories are so finely crafted and well thought out. I truly look forward to reading more. |

Thank you so much. I means the world to hear such lovely things. I need to thank my beta (both of them -- kelleypen and iviolinist) for their input. This work is a collaberative effort! Please let me know what you think going forward -- you are such an astute reviewer!
Take good care,

| Awesome!! This is such a compelling read! Oh, I can't wait until you update already! I love things that happen in St. Mungo's. Ginny stayed very in-character, which is good, because I love Ginny to death. Oh my goodness, this was AWESOME!!! |

Hi Connor!!
How are you? Thanks for the lovely review. We plan on updating every 10 days or so. Ginny is actually at St. Dymphna's -- a wizarding hospital in Edinburgh.-- you'll find out why very soon. Thanks a ton for the feedback on her characterization - I wrestle with getting her right. Take good care of yourself.

Thank you! Yes, this first chapter whips by. We will slow down though! Ah, Ginny. Backstory is coming, but for now, we have more of the mystery to unfold. Thanks so much for reviewing! Plan on updating every 10 days or so. Hope that helps!
