VAAAAAAL.

 

There's so much fun plot potential here that I can't wait to see happen, and I really hope you decide to continue! Will Molly loop this person in on her scheme, or will they think she's actually dating her? What's going to happen at the wedding? Why is Roxanne such a weenie about the plus-one thing, HUH? Rude.

 

Molly is a lovely narrator. She's spunky and fun and feisty but in a believable way, and I love that this whole debacle started because she happened to lie in a rare silent moment and was overheard. The story about her ex was heartbreaking, and yet it felt perfectly woven into the rest of the chapter, and Molly doesn't seem like the kind of person to dwell on things like that, so the fact that it was mentioned in passing with some minor embarrassment checks out.

 

Another thing I love already about this fic is the narration. It's very uniquely your writing voice, and I love that you chose to do third-person, kind of whimsical with a touch of sarcasm. It's so so lovely to read. The description of the Burrow post-war is so good that I have no idea if it's canon or your own creation--either way, it's written so perfectly, and every character is unique and gets their own time in the spotlight without sounding too forced to include them.

 

BRILLIANT JOB. I'm so glad to hear that you might be continuing this, because I can't wait to read about Molly's misadventures <3

sian rec'd this to me on twitter today and just ahhh *_* i love it already and while i'm sad that there aren't more chapters, i'm hoping you'll still continue the story at some point :P

 

i really loved the whole set up, the fact that molly just landed herself in this mess because of a principle haha it's adorable.

 

also, as someone who experienced (though luckily not from a full on girlfriend...just a hook up and someone who i thought was a friend <.< ) the prejudice against bisexuals and the casual throwing off 'you'll come around as a lesbian' or 'you're just a fucking tourist' i'm always so so glad to see a bi character being portrayed in literally anything. i haven't read that many fics where the mc is bi and it warms my cold lil' heart every time.

 

annd i love molly's voice in this. she just seems like a fun character with this spark in her. and roxanne! hah i love her as well.

 

pls write more :P (no pressure. okay maybe a lil bit of pressure. but no really, i just liked this first chapter so much so.....)

VAL!!!

Salut, ma chère!

Here I am for our swap! I really should stop by your AP more often, I'm so bad at it... and you have a lot of cool stuff, too...

I hope you don't mind I picked this one, I thought that I should go for something light-hearted... and this introductory chapter is so promising already! I had no idea till not so long ago, but I really love a good fake-dating fic. :P

Poor Molly... I bet being part of the Wotter clan isn't easy... so many cousins, so little privacy... and she seems to be super proud, too, and unable to keep her mouth shut, and I'm not sure if that helps matters much... :P

Btw, I loved her annoyance at Teddy and Victoire. I think it's so fitting that they would have no organization skill but would still refuse any relative's help, I can see that for some reason, and it's great characterization in just a little detail. Love it!

The incident with Josephine was so sad to read about... prejudice always makes me sad... but I guess it's not that unusual, either? It must've been so disheartening for poor Molly...

I really thought, too, that Roxanne had seen through the lie. Maybe it's because I was so deep inside Molly's head and that was what she was thinking... I'm not sure if Molly had the best idea to keep lying to her too... now I'm really curious how the fake girlfriend hunt will go... :P I expect lots of trouble, am I right? :P

This was a lovely first chapter! You did a great job at introducing your characters and setting the bases for the plot! And now I want MOOOOOORE!

Thank you so much for swapping! Let's do this again sometime! <3

Lots of love and snowball hug!

So me again, I'm just stalking all your stories now. This seems great so far, I'm loving Molly and I can't wait to see how she manages to get herself out of (or most likely further into) the situation!

ANOTHER STORY BY YOU YAYY. AND FAKE DATING TOO I’M SO EXCITED.

 

Oh my gosh after reading the chapter I’m even more excited; it seems so much fluffier and happier than everything else on your AP right now, and I’m so curious and hyped to see what a lighthearted fic looks like from you! Especially since I already know you write the best humor (I mean, the fact that Logarithmic was still funny despite all the many depressing things going on was legitimately amazing), so I’m 110% ready for ALL THE FLUFF.

 

You create the most marvelous sentences and phrases, I just wanted to say. I mean, this line right here is so amazing—“It was to this court of slouchers and their parents that Victoire made her grand entrance.” It’s funny, snappy, and has wonderful word choice, and basically every single line in your stories are like this. They just feel so wittily and intelligently written; I don’t know if you understand what I mean, but this is the sort of thing that I feel comes from a natural cleverness haha. (I could never write things like this, for instance. I have the natural cleverness of a toad. :P)

 

MOLLY GETTING OFFENDED ON PRINCIPLE OMG. I love her. She’s such a dunce. Not actually, but she clearly doesn’t think before speaking, which gets her into difficult situations but makes for a very, very entertaining story. “Yes please. I’d like to bring my girlfriend, if that’s alright” was said with such confidence and no hesitation, and I was so impressed with her ability to just completely BS a girlfriend into existence. Your characters are amazinggg, and I can totally buy that she’s the kind of person who would land herself into such a ridiculous mess haha. A lot of the time, fake dating fics have to pass the hurdle of making their setup at least somewhat believable, but at this point I’m already invested in the ship and it hasn’t even come up yet. I just know that whoever Molly picks will be phenomenal. :P

 

Jennifer was…not great. Honestly, though, that must be the worst way to find out that the person you’re dating is biphobic. At least Molly managed to use her dating history as a way to pass off this one as semi-believable—though clearly she’s still really affected by this. I can’t even imagine how it must’ve felt, wow.

 

I also love Roxanne already. Please let her stay in the story omg. <3

 

THIS IS SO EXCITING I’M SO GLAD YOU’VE POSTED THIS.

 

Love,

Eva
