Thanks so much! I like Ginny's the best, too. After I finished them all I decided about cutting them and only posting Ginny's, because I felt like the rest kinda pale in comparison. Oh, well. I like to look at what happened to her in CoS as something that colors her whole life. Realistically, it would, but in the series it gets glossed over, but then so does a lot of stuff that would realistically be psychologically damaging, such as the child abuse Harry suffers. What surprises me is that in fanfic Ginny's trauma seems to mostly get glossed, too, whereas other realities (again, like Harry's child abuse) often get the realistic kind of attention they deserve.

The idea that Ginny can't kill Bellatrix because she is, in a way, Ginny's twin is awesome and opens up a world of fic-ish possibilities.

I always loved Ginny, and really disliked her lack of a part in book 7. This is my fanwank and I'm stickin' to it. Now that you mention it, I want to write more fic about this, and the parallels to Bella. And Harry trying to help her, and feeling like his war with Voldemort is still not over, and...it could be really cool.

Glad you liked the Neville one, too. I wasn't sure it worked, but it was fun to play with.
