Reviews for Three Options for Ginny
Oh, Bettina! THAT is the reason I agreed to beta for you on Draco! That chapter was wonderful! I had hopes of something a little mushy, but that was just perfect! Very nice. So much angst! Of course, if Snape is one of your main characters, that is to be expected, but that chapter was exceptionally so!
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Hi, well Snape did feel OOC himself, but he does go a bit far now, right? Thanks a lot for this nice review!!
I don't understand why Ginny rejected his kiss, alas.
But I ended this with tears in my eyes. So sad. I hope you update soon!
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
There are some hints, but as long as Severus doesn't want to hear it, what can we do?
Thank you for your review and patience -- we'll do our best to get the next chapters up soon.

Stupid Severus.Too arrogant to even listen what she has to say. I understand he is hurt but ... If he were lest stubborn, well we wouldn't love him so much *deep sigh*. Hope for more as soon as you can.
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Yes, he can make it extra-hard to like him, can't he? Thank you for your review and patience.

Poor Ginny. Is he going to let her explain?
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Eventually he is, but admitting a mistake isn't quite his strong side. Thank you for your review.

I love this story. This chapter is brilliant, so full of detail and angst. My heart almost broke for Severus and the agony he is going through, although I have to say if only he would listen to Ginevra I'm sure she has a reasonable explanation.
Please update soon.
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Yes, she has an explanation but she needs an 'open ear' to relate it to. Thank you for your review and patience.

welll... this was a long time in coming but it was good... though my curiousity as to why ginny didnt let severus kiss her did not get satisfied.... but i'm guessing it had something to do with the words umbridge spoke while finalising their binding.... do update soon....
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Severus isn't ready to ask her so how could Ginny explain it? I'm afraid you'll have to wait until she gets this chance.
Thank you for this review and esp your patience. We'll try to be faster now, but actually we tried all the time.

It's good to see them together. I liked reading about Severus in a Muggle store. Good chapter.
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
thank you!
Oh I thought this was a different pairing (thought was draco / ginny). Ah, good writing, but I don't like Ginny with Snape. sorry.I see your comments in the other reviews about the grammar rules. I'm glad they have them here. It provides us with clean stories. good luck
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Hi,
I try to reply to all reviews. What do do with yours, though?
You're right that the stories are cleaner with the commas, prepositions and all in place, and I'm not giving up! It explains, however, why the story is sooo slow going. Improves my English, no doubt there.
I could not pair Cissy off with Snape here, as you seem to prefer, sorry. Draco could not have achieved what I need either, but he will remain the third important person.
Thanks for letting me know you passed by and also for your thoughts.
I like the affection that Ginny shows him. It is sweet.
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
thank you!
A lovely long chapter that I enjoyed.
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
thank you!
A great story. Very enjoyable.
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
thank you!
o.m.g. ahhhhh!! my hands are shaking you have to keep writing!!!!! ahhhhhh!!! sfjgkjfgiegrkljfdg!!! ahhhhh!!! i love this.
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
I'm glad you like it! Thank you for your eloquent review :-)
ginny seems the type for a three-some with sev. and draco. at least in my opinion, excellent chapter! how long till the next 1?
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Hi!
The black the blond and the red? Hm, that sounds nice but it would become a different story!
The next chapter is waiting for a dozen or so commas, then it will be on its way.
Thanks so much four your review!!!
Response from sailorscout_k (Reviewer)
yay author!!!!!!!!!!can't wait for those commas!
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Hi, here is the next set of commas and some words draped loosely around them, too.
In other words: ch10 s up :-) Bettina
Another excellent chapter.
I could just feel the anxiety from the pair of them. Maybe they should ask Draco for tips 
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
hm, you think so? He might know, you're right.
No, I'm afraid they will have to figure this out alone. Please don't expect smutty details!
Thank you for your review, I love it.
Oh, those two. Poor Sev, performance anxiety and poor Ginny, wanting to not be hurt more by Greyback. Anyway, a lovely chapter.
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Thank you so much for your review, it is what I live from.
Wonderful story so far and I eagerly await the next update. Thank you for writing
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
thank you! You know it is the reviews that keep me going!
Another excellent chapter. Poor Severus he really doesn't seem comfortable around women - tee hee.
Can't wait for more.
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Hi,
thanks for your nice words. Yep, I think Severus cannot be a sex hero-- one needs time to research women, right?
I know it is slow going but there is more now, cheers Bettina
That was a brilliantly detailed chapter. I quite enjoyed it.
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
thank you!!
I like your Ginny! Not a weakling; not unnaturally stoic. The Severus/Ginny pairing never appealed to me much but I find myself liking this beginning a great deal. Looking forward to the next installment. Thanks for your work!
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Hi,
so glad that you like the story and even take your time to leave me a message.
I will do my best to convince you that Severus and Ginny have enough in common and a lot to give to each other. Let's see how I manage?
At times, I'm struggling with the grammar rules, TPP insists on, which slows the story down, but I can say that it is scetched to the end. Provided I don't overtax my betas, this story will finish.
Thank you for your encouragement--it feels good!
Bettina
This is a fascinating beginning to this story. I really like it.

I was so excited to see a new chapter! And Snape finally learns what has been happening in flying "lessons". What a bonus! I really like your story and the depth of the relationship you are showcasing. I look forward to your next posting. Thanks, JoAnne
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Thank you for your kind words and the stars, JoAnne!I've been working on the next chapter, but I really prefer not to promise anything.
Severus needs to be more careful of his wife. Although the rest of what he is playing with is dangerous.
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
True, but they keep him quite busy elsewhere. Thanks for the shiny stars, Bettina
Poor Severus must be very worried by now. :)
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
He is! Thanks for your review.
Ok I will admit it I am confused -- and surprisingly a little sad. What is she thinking? And more importantly how will she fix it? Severus isn't known for his emotional understanding. While I love this story, I'm not sure I can say I "enjoyed" this chapter. I look forward to next time when I hope there will be an explanation and hopefully a reconciliation too. Thanks, JoAnne
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
Ginny does have good reasons, but please wait a little longer than next time for the explanation. As you say yourself, Severus isn't exactly easy to talk to when offended.
Thank you for your nice review!
Oliver Twist? Interesting story.Livvy
Response from Bettina (Author of Three Options for Ginny)
it is indeed Oliver Twist. Thanks for leaving a note!
