Cupidity

AUTHOR'S NOTE -- AN UPDATE: I've had a couple of reviewers question the use of the name Ginevra instead of Virginia, and the last one was quite snarky about it. www.jkrowling.com, her OFFICIAL website, lists that as her correct name. As for the use of Tiffany and Faberge, I'll accept the criticism that it should have been Tiffany & Co., but the use of Faberge was deliberate, not 'name dropping'. The man was considered to be a 'wizard' of the jeweler's art, no reason he couldn't be a real wizard and still active in the Wizarding community long after his supposed death. That's called artistic license. As for the two pieces being incompatible, that was the whole POINT. He was as I said, demonstrating his love and acceptance of her, INCLUDING his quirks. She liked to wear tacky jewelry. He spent a fortune, but didn't try to change her. THAT'S what love is about.

And when the hell did I have Ginevra in the room with her brother and naked women? I wrote the story and I don't remember that.

As for the crack about 'getting my facts right', if I was submitting professionally for publication, I'd worry about it. This is fanfic. Not only that, it is a short, satirical humor piece.

And lastly, if you want to flame me, go ahead, but have the balls to admit it, don't weasel around it by calling it constructive criticism, not unless you have YOUR facts straight. Not to mention leave your address so I could have sent this privately. Sheesh.
