I've been trying to figure out a way to reply to this that's not basically me *squee*flailing* embarrassingly everywhere. But I think you know how I feel about your writing, so you can probably take a guess at how much this comment means to me :)
It's funny that you should suggest that Ginny is Rowling's Mary-Sue (I'd never really thought about it before, but I certainly see it now) because I have to admit that, the way I write her, I'm rather guilty of that myself. I adore Ginny, and that adoration fluctuates wildly between this-is-the-sort-of-woman-I'd-like-to-be-with and this-is-the-person-I'd-like-to-be. How I write her has a lot of the way I see myself in her (although not, I'm sure, how other people see me), although I'll confess to rather identifying with Hermione as well. Which may or may not be a little strange, but it, in some ways, explains why I love to write her so much.
As for the rest of your comment, given that I wasn't feeling all that good about this when I posted it, the words achingly mature, wonderful and very lovely make me unbelievable happy. I'm so glad it worked for you, and thank you so much for saying so :) ♥
