The Chocolate War
pokeystar29 Reviews | 4.72/10 (29 Ratings, 0 Likes, 15 Favorites )
Much ado about tiny bits of confectionery.
What do a wooden puppet, a talking water cooler, a Greek god, archival folders, coffee, and magically altered choccies have to do with falling in love? Possibly everything...
Officially nominated at dramione_awards, round 3.

I read therefore I am.

Reviews for The Chocolate War
After I received your review I was like, okay I have seen her pen name all over the place, I must have read something she wrote (other than the ldws drabbles)! And sure enough here you are. This is absolutely wonderful and so funny. I can't believe you didn't win the Dramione. I also can't believe I never reviewed!Your story was very clever, I really liked your take on the kisses challenge. I laughed out loud several times while reading, and I absolutely loved Frank, Blaise, and Colin.

"okay I have seen her pen name all over the place"Muahhahaha. The plan for world domination is coming along nicely...Did I say that out loud?"I can't believe you didn't win the Dramione." Oh, aren't you sweet? Do you like dungeons? My iron maiden is lined with fake fur. Did you read The Politician's Wife? It's an amazinigly good story. I was honored to come in second to her.Shameless self-promotion: I'm currently nominated at the tnl_awards at live journal. *whistles innocently* If you're looking for something new and underappreciated to read...Thank you soooo much!

Adverb Man , is he the latest Superhero? Valiantly, intrepidly, magnificently, he trawls the Corridors of Grammar, seeking to eliminate Comma Crime from the Universe...
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
Do crimes of omission count?If so, Adverb Man will throw the book at me first!
brings a whole new meaning to the term "French kisses", doesn't it
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
Exactly the intent!!
you're killing me here, this is way too funny!
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
Should I call an ambulance?
LOL a water cooler that chats people up, now that I have to see !
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
I would love to see it too.*sigh*Frank, where art thou?
you're mad, nuts, crazy,.. but bloody brilliant!
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
The voices and I thank you.*blushes*
Ginny is in cahoots with the Forge! Hermione and Draco are doomed! More More MORE!!
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
Doomed! Doomed, I say!Don't worry, there's plenty of doom to go around...Doom and mayhem. Plenty of doom of mayhem for everyone.
I am going to pull something if I don't stop laughing so hard. Stop being so damn funny 
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
I'll try... I don't know if it's possible, but I'll try.
Screw the lads, he was off to jump a shark I very much enjoyed the double meaning of this line. Hey now I understand that icon of yours. Its Frank!!
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
C'est vrai!It is Franck!*glomps*That's one of my favorite lines!
This fic is hysterical! I got the Legally Blond line right away. Gay!Colin is a hoot! I hope this leads to nakedville!
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
points to PG-13 rating. no nakeyville in the fic proper.An outtake however, can be arranged...
Response from MollysSister (Reviewer)
Name your bribe for the outtake sister
"leaving pointy impressions in his stiffly gelled coiffure" I thought this was my favorite line of the chapter till Frank. Now my favorite line is “Otherwise, I’d have to report this as fraternization.”
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
Awesome.No wonder we are the smut twins.
Hermione only had on kiss on her desk? Obviously it was a trap. A sane and rational person would have her whole candy dish full of them. ((danger danger Draco))
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
REally. He should have been suspicious immediately.Maybe he thought it being Muggle chocolate made a difference.Foolish man. He deserves what he gets.
she's gonna figure it out soon.. she fancies him, she really does!
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
shhhhh!We know that, she doesn't... yet.

Resorting to more and more devious plots, eh? ;-)
Author's Response: Why yes. Is that a problem?
I'll never trust a Kiss again... and I loved the trademarked, ' His father’s expression of disappointment™' Just full of great lines.... Piper
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
Thank you.But it's a sad day when a woman can't trust chocolate.
Hahahahaha! What a great story! I hope you update soon. I can't wait to find out who the saboteur was.
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
I hope you know by now?I'm glad you like it, CF!
Response from CharmedForce (Reviewer)
Haha... I thought of this story just today as I had an almond Kiss.
I haven't laughed this hard at a story in a while. Thank you!!! I needed that. =)
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
You are most welcome, and I'm glad it made you laugh!*skips off with big grin*

*sigh* I have nothing more to say really. *sigh* So, so funny in all sorts of different places! I love the whole 'Pinching Pansy' thang! I really, really hope you win one of the awards you've been nominated for this round! Fingers crossed!
Author's Response: Sighs are music to my ears.
It's thrilling to be nominated, thanks for the crossed fingers!
ROFLMAO! "Franck is the french version of Frank!" LOL Reading it in French was great but then reading your translation of it was hilarious! Masterful!
Response from pokeystar (Author of The Chocolate War)
*cursteys*Made me giggle too. I was expecting Francois, I think.

Lurve this!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you do!
And thanks for picking up that last comma - I think my head was spinning from the back and forth. (darn A/Ns)

Hehehe. Like a mountain-goat! Definitely the funniest line there. Great little fluffy romp that you've got going on here!
Author's Response: I find it funny that Draco would know what a mountain-goat is.
Thank you - exactly what I was going for.
Angel Mischa's response: I'm currently holding out going to read this elsewhere because I like the suspense, and it means I have something fun to look forward to seeing in the queue! Am very excited for you in the dramione awards, btw! 
Author's Response: I admire your willpower. I've been known to hunt things down just so I could end the suspense.
And my husband has caught me reading the last chapter of books first too. (Though I amazingly did not do this with DH).
I'm excited too, and stunned!
I'll have to shove another chapter in the queue, then, won't I?

Draco resolved to ignore the fickle little slag and concentrated on his work.
Haha! Best line ever. Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Thanks!
There's more to come!
