*sighs* You've made me cry. Though it's hardly a positive emotion, it tells you that your writing is effective. When I read about Fred's death in DH, I didn't give it as much thought as I did the overwhelming anger of the entire horrid book, even though Fred and George together are one of my favourites. To me, the last two books don't exist, so both live happily in my head.

A sad tale, but lovely all the same.

OK Haven't read it yet, but I just had to make a comment on the title. DROP DEAD FRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, when I was a little kid, I used to watch that show over and over. I never really understood it though, and I always thought Fred was a little scary and I didn't understand what happened to him at the end. I actually don't remember all that much about it. I'm saying all this presuming you know the movie and the title is a slight reference to the movie although by the sounds of it I don't know if it will be very relevant to the story. But it's a good play on words style title to go with the story - from the summary Fred is dead, so the title kinda works.

Anyway, just had to tell you that the title caught my attention and although I usually don't like Twins and Harry all that much, I was going to read this no matter what the pairing/summary just because of the title!!!! lol.

OK so going to go back and read this now and I'll leave another review when I finish and tell you what I think.
