I'm not really very interesting.
I am going to write a sequel to An Apple On A Bough. I even have an outline. However, I suffer from what medical professionals call "laziness."
Feel free to pester me about it; it might get done faster.
Also, all of my Harry Potter fanfiction is archived at the listed LJ community, Saltwater Ink.
Reviews for An Apple On A Bough
A very good story, it gives the reader a lot to think about.
It's a bit late to start trying to " raise Draco right" he is what he is. Narcissais grooming Ginny, but what for.
What is Narcssia trying to do to Ginny?is she turning her into a "sleeper spy"?I will read on and see.
Lucius is showing signs of having feelings for Ginny, not sure if Ginny is still being given potions.
Maybe there is still a little bit of ''Tom'' left in Ginny, she has succombed very quickly.
Narssia has this down to a fine art, understanding wife indeed.
This is why Harry wanted to end it with Ginny, so she would not be a target or a weapon, now she could be both.
This story gave me a similar vibe as Ang Lee's film "Lust, Caution". Have you ever seen that?
Anyway, I've never been a L/G fan but your story made it work, as the other reviewers have said. It's dark, twisted, but it somehow made sense.
I really liked this story. I wasn't sure how I felt, initially, but I came to really like it and I am sad that Ginny is leaving. It is an odd relationship, but it works. I would like you to continue you, maybe as a sequel. Showing Ginny when she gets back to her family, thinking of Lucius. If they get back together. Either case, it is a really good story.

I'm so glad you liked the story!I am working on some short L/G ficlets right now, and then I will be writing a sequel.
That was a truly excelent story. I sincerely urge you to write a sequel.
Response from themadmermaid (Author of An Apple On A Bough)
Thank you so much!!! I have a sequel in mind, but I'm not so good at self-motivation. I need a deadline looming over my head before I actually do things.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story! Lucius/Ginny isn't one of my favorite pairings generally, but this was very well written. I also loved Narcissa's characterization. Kudos to you!

I'm so happy you liked it!
Great story and I love the way you ended it. We can each imagine what might happen a few weeks or months down the road if they meet again....unless, of course, your muse could be bribed into a sequel

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! I have some ideas for a sequel, it's just a matter of getting them out of my head!
i love this story i read them at work.

I LOVE THE WAY YOU WRITE THEM ITS REALLY GOOD . NOT TO SAY I LOVE LUCIUS AND HIM AND GINNY IS GOOD. ARE THEY GETTING TOGETHEIR AGAIN?
Wow. Hot and sexy, but a little sad as well. I liked it all but I think I really liked your Narcissa and the kind of marriage she and Lucius had. Somehow I can imagine it ringing true. Is there any chance you plan a sequel? It could be fun... Thanks for sharing, JoAnne

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Narcissa was kind of a surprise for me; I didn't really plan on her having a very big role originally. Yes, I am planning another story, I just have to make myself do it.
Is that ending then? I wonder what sort of ransom was paid for Ginny's release? Do you think Ginny & Lucius are able to get together some time in the future? What would Narcissa think? Oh my! I have enjoyed this story. Thank you

I'm glad you liked it! I'm going to try to do a sequel so maybe I can answer some of your questions. And that little face totally doesn't look like a wink, does it?
Response from MollysSister (Reviewer)
WHERE OH WHERE is my sequel? Have you found a new love? Ditched this story line?
Response from themadmermaid (Author of An Apple On A Bough)
I was actually working on the sequel again, but then we bought a house and with that and moving... I will get back on it, I promise. Knowing that people actually want to read it helps.

Great Ending!
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it!
hmmmm...so what isn't Lucius telling Ginny? And how thick into the middle of it is Narcissa? Does it have anything to do with why she'd be coaching Ginny on manners?
And so the plot thickens. I do wonder what the issue is that Lucius has not told Ginny of. Perhaps the dark lord is losing his battle? I do enjoy the unflattering look at Draco. I can see him becoming a spoilt brat. Lead on!
Response from themadmermaid (Author of An Apple On A Bough)
I enjoyed making Draco a whiny baby, and I'm glad you liked it as well. One more chapter to go!

Yeah I hope you continue to do more like this. I´m a little bit tired of Draco and Ginny or Draco and Hermione or Hermione or Snape.
I think Lucius is a great charecter and put him with Ginny or Hermione it´s just brilhant.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I wish there was more Lucius/Ginny out there.
Obviously Lucius will read the letter before it goes to Molly…Im with Ginny, whatever will she say? I am being drugged, raped but well fed? Goodness. I worry about Narcissa and what she is doing to Ginny. Is she playing with her mind as if she was a toy, or protecting her wifely position?? So many questions I have! Thank you for the speedy update.
Response from themadmermaid (Author of An Apple On A Bough)
Thanks for reading and reviewing... and I hope that as the story goes on your questions will get answered.

Great story....original, and all. Please continue...
Author's Response: Thank you! I am finished with this story; the chapters are just winding their way through the queue. Then I have to write the next one. D:
hmmmm....and what little games does Narcissa like to play when she's bored? Is she somehow trying to set up or get even with her husband?
Ginny's having a good time (even if she doesn't want to admit it) and now Lucius has to go and spoil it by making her think of her Mum.
Response from themadmermaid (Author of An Apple On A Bough)
Yeah, Lucius really killed the mood. Nobody wants to think about their mom when they are getting it on.

It´s just me or Lucius is start to fall in love with Ginny? I really d´like to see that...
Those are some powerful potions they have given Ginny. She seems to be so close to touching reality and then it grabs her back again. I wonder how long she has been there?
Oh this was a short chapter! Was Ginny targeted to be captured or did the DE just get lucky? I assume one of the potions Narcissa administered was a contraceptive? Cant see her wanting any bastard heirs mucking up the family fortune. I look forward to the next chapter

Thanks for all the reviews! The chapters are winding their way through the queue, as the lovely admins have to correct all my grammar...It's those darn commas!
