Um, hi! I'm Tara-Lynn. I'm a high school student from New England. I'm a girl. I mostly write Harry Potter fanfic, but there are other things I write for listed below. Anyway, I started reading Harry Potter the summer before I went to kindergarten, so you can probably tell I really like Harry Potter.

A bit about me: I am really interested in mythology, art, and languages. I speak english and I want to learn: French, Latin, German, Russian, Chinese, Old English, Gaelic, Welsh, Elvish, and Greek. I also want to learn everything there is to know about as many mythologies and religions as I can, especially Norse mythology. I also want to make awesome visual (and maybe performance) art. Obviously, being a member of this site, I also like literature.

Fanfics I will possibly write:

Harry Potter

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Firefly

The Dark is Rising

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Merlin

Sherlock

Doctor Who

Torchwood

Sarah Jane Adventures

The Secrets of the Immortal Alchemist Nicholas Flamel

Dollhouse

Angel

IF YOU’RE TIRED OF BEING LABLED PUT THIS ON YOUR PROFILE (BOLD ALL THAT APPLY)

Note: Harry Potter is better than Twilight. Deal with it. Yell about sparkly vampires all you want. I really don't care.

Things that make me want to hit something:

-People who spell 'definitely' as 'defiantly'

-People who insist on calling HERmione "Mione"

-People who ship incest (EEEEEEEEEW!)

-People who ship pedophile (EEEEEEEEEEEEW!)

-People who don't use spell check (even though that's not totally foolproof. Use it anyway. Or get a beta.)

-OOC

-Character Bashing of any kind

A Note on Slash: I do not hate slash, but I don't generally write or read it. If a character is canonically gay, that's fine. I ship Willow/Tara for instance, but slash has never really appealed to me. That is all.

Ok, so in those Harry Potter "reading the books" fics, which I really like, if you read Goblet of Fire, it mentions Nagini being milked. Every single fanfiction I have read has said something along the lines of 'eeew, snake milk.' Snakes don't have milk! They are not mammals! When someone milks a snake, they extract its venom! Look it up, please!

If anyone is reading this and knows where to find good reading the books fics that have been taken off this website, please do let me know. I will be very happy and I think that it is so sad that some are being taken off of this site.

So, basically I will write whenever I have inspiration and time. I love getting reviews and I try to respond to them if they wont one. I also sometimes give reviews, but I can't say if they're helpful or not.

Thanks for visiting my profile! Feel free to message me or favorite me or review my stories or whatever. :D Love yous all!
