WELCOME

ABOUT GUBBY'S REVIEWS

The first thing you need to know is that I'm a VERY PICKY reader generally. I either love something to pieces or am indifferent. But no, I'm not scary! I can inflate your ego or I can deflate it, depending on which you need. Probably the one thing you can guarantee from my reviews is rambling. I like rambling. I'm honest, not mean. If this doesn't frighten you..

GUBBY'S RULES

• One-shots only. That does not include a WIP with one chapter up, or a random chapter from a WIP.
• Give me two weeks for your request. I have a life, too, you know. Surprisingly. If it gets over a week, feel free to poke me through a PM.
• I accept one story at a time. We can count to one. If you request afterwards, I will ignore you. Blithely.
• NO extreme AU or M-rated slash.

GUBBY TOLERATES (as in, I'll review it, but generally I'm not the hugest fan of these things, so beware)

• Draco/Anyone
• 12+ or 15+ rated slash
• mild AU
• Trio era (I dislike them for the most part, but you're welcome to request anyway)
• Marauders era (have become weary of Sirius/OC fluff, but again, I still love the era)
• Founders era
• fluff
• Harry/Hermione

Other than that, I think we're good. Right?

Summary “I love you,” she whispered into the night air.

“You know I will always love you,” he replied and kissed her delicately.

It was her dream; he would say anything she wanted him to. It kept the feelings at bay long enough to survive the day without him by her side.
Focus on I never write Romance, and never Rose/Scorpius. This would be a first for a lot of things. I'd really just like your opinion on it in general.

SummaryYou could say that you’ve never seen this thing called love before. Sure, you’ve read about it, but that just isn’t the same. If there was one thing you’d want to experience before you die, that would be it. You just have to find it.
Focus on Plot, description, anything else you wish to point out. I should add that this was in response to your challenge on SAYS.

Holy crap, Lia! XD I remember that one. I feel so bad now -blush- Next time, tell me when I need to look at stuff! I'm so sorry!

Will get to these ASAP, Len and Lia.

SLOTS CLOSED

Heh, no sweat Gubby . Thanks for the review and I'm so relieved that you like second person!! I left my response there.

You're welcome, Lia! I'm still horribly guilty about taking so long.

Now, as school heads into hell and my time is sorely limited, I am changing the rules. There will be only ONE SLOT. Everything else still applies, but now I will accept only one story at a time.

SLOT OPEN
