| The plot was well thought out and well written. The concept of a Box of Rain was very beutifull and poetically expressed. I thought the characterization of Glnny was especially interesting. Please keep up the good work! |

Shellebelle, your stories are so full of sweetness! I want a box of rain of my own! What a lovely idea...wouldn't it be nice if Harry really had one?
The growing friendship between Ginny & Hermione in this story is really a nice touch. And the interaction between Ginny & Dumbledore is very well written. |

| I really enjoyed this. I normally dislike songfics, but you did this one very well. Very heartwarming and sweet, without being too gooey or too angsty. Fantastic portrayal of Ginny! Thanks. |

This was so sweet! I loved the ending! Please keep writing. My cats and I are ardoring your every sentence on my screen.
p.s. How do you drink hot chocolate with a cat on one arm and a mouse stuck it the other? |

| *sniff sniff* That was such a beautiful story. I can imagine Ginny doing something like that for Harry, its so her, and asking for nothing in return. It was so sweet and i just loved the whole thing. I loved the part where Mrs. Weasley says 'Fred and George have finally blown up their room and Ron with it" That was great!! I love your writing, and im looking foward to reading more of it!! :) |

| Well, we had to review for 2 reasons. One, we have a weakness for songfics and just love the HMS H/G that sails through this one. Also, Gracie is a fan of the Greatful Dead, owns and loves their American Beauty album, and will be singing "Box of Rain" for days to come now. As a piece of trivia, the songwriter wrote this song for his father who was dying of cancer. A "box of rain" is used to symbolize the world (a "ball of rain" just didn't sound right). You can read more about the origins of this song on www.lyrics.com Thanks for some nice fluff! |

| What a cute story! Ginny is wonderful, I love how her peronality shines throughout this whole thing and the bits about Lily. Keep up the great work! |

| You've written a heart-warming story and I don't think it's silly at all. I read this story during a thunderstorm and when Ginny was performing her charm in the rain I couldn't help thinking how appropriate the weather was for this story. I'm looking forward to reading more of your writing. |

This is really sweet. I love the use of Latin - very clever. It's awesome that you keyed the thingy to Lily. I love it.

| very nicely done, my fav line: “The twins have finally blown up their room and your brother Ron with it." it seemed a little out of place, but on it's own, it's hilarious. just thought u should kno |

| Really, really sweet story. Ginny has a lovely voice in this; natural and caring w/out being soupy in her Harry-love. I love the part where she says she describes how Muggle clothes feel strange on her. It's one of those little details that really enhances the story and it reminded me of her character and where she comes from. Here's a little constructive criticism, though: the scene with Fred and George blowing up their room and Ron happening to get caught up in it seemed a little contrived, like you could tell the author was creating the situation to be able to further the plot. I would just have them be out of the house for odd reasons so she could make the box w/out the audience being distracted w/ the whole Fred/George fiasco. But that's just my opinion on a little nitpicky thing. Good job! Nice story. |

| Hey, Richard, thank you for the heads up on the Britishisms. I really didn't think much about that; I was nervous enough just getting the story written and read and posted! ;-) I will definitely remember your hints and try to get more "British" in the future. |

I'll comment on the story another time, but can I just point out a couple of Americanisms? (Not that there's anything wrong with American English -it's just that it's wrong coming out of the lips of British speakers). We never say 'write me' on its own - it's always 'write to me'. We do, however, say 'write me a letter'.
Our hospitals don't have 'emergency rooms', they have 'Casualty Departments' or 'Accident and Emergency Departments', sometimes shortened to 'A & E Departments'. I suspect that would apply to St Mungo's. (St Mungo is a real saint, by the way - Scottish, naturally, in honour of JKR's adopted homeland.) |

ahhh!! another Dead Head!! I love the Grateful Dead, it's pathetic actually.
Anyway, I loved this story, it was so realistic! I can really see this hapenning, the characterization is exactly right. Awesome job. |

| Wow...I really liked this. Most Ginny stories I've read either make Ginny out to be some giggling idiot of a girl who acts like Lavender and Parvati, or someone who's depressed and on the verge of suicide- but you got her perfectly- as a HUMAN!! This story was very deep and very well written. Kudos to you :) |

| This was an intriguing story, and very nicely done. I liked the unusual concept. Most fanfics leave Harry to deal with his emotions alone--good canon evidence for that, of course, but it is so nice to see someone giving him a bit of help. And such help--it just "feels" right; when I lived near the ocean I would go down to the beach and tell the water my troubles; it was old, and powerful, and could take things and make sense of them far better than I could. And the ocean has a voice; giving the box Lily's voice was inspired. Your Ginny is nicely drawn, also. Good work, and an enjoyable quick break from work. |

| Aww, that was lovely! I really like your depiction of Ginny, and the way she handled the Dursleys was brilliant. I love the idea of a box of rain, too. Harry's very lucky to have Ginny :) |

| That was just lovely - such a Ginny-like thing to do (at least I think!). Especially liked the idea for the box of rain. |
