Vulcan. Slytherin. Mutant. Vampire. INTJ. Wayward Girl. Hopeless unbeliever. Lover of rainy days. Dreamer of dead dreams. Dead rose. I like writing fanfiction that is canon compliant. I mean, stuff that's not in the show/movie/book, but perhaps could be. Of course, my ideas of what could be canon can be very different from someone else's; And I strive to keep the characters as in character as possible. Sometimes it's easy - I really believe I understand Snape's mind, or Dumbledore's (when he was young), and I'm sure I understand Henry, Lucas, and Spock (I've been told that as a human I'm a great vulcan). Some other characters, though I don't get as well as I thought I might. I rely on reviewers and Beta readers to help me tell the difference. Lately my brain's been playing with some ideas for AU stories and I just might attempt to travell that road real soon... I enjoy writting long one shots... Actually, I just usually get an idea, start writting and before I realize the thing is above 6K (is that long?) Still, these stories take time, and I can't (or shouldn't) upload without a Beta, so i'm trying to focus a bit more on drabbles now, trying to boost up my fanfiction count (they are so short I generally don't mind uploading without a Beta reading it first!)... Most of my stories start with a quote and more often than not it comes from a song. I am particularly fond of Belle and Sebastian and the Manic Street Preachers. I am not a native speaker, but I have lived and studied in England for a while (you can imagine that felt a lot like going to Hogwarts). I have created this profile while I was there. Some stories here were written long before that and they're loaded with SPaG mistakes but I am trying to correct that. I still make mistakes, but hopefully, a great deal less than I used to... I enjoy writing (and talking) in English, even if it does mean I make a great deal more mistakes than a native speaker would. I'll try anything once, and I'm quite fond of Challenges and Competitions. Award Winning Stories The Savage Curtain - Winner of the Hogwarts Classes Category Competition (Herbology) The Not So Standard Book of Spells - Winner of the Return of the Daily Weird Prompt Thing [Speed-writing Competition] (Day 87) Harry Potter Challenges I'm currently taking part on Boot Camps: Your Favourite Hogwarts House Boot Camp Challenge! (Fallen Angels 6/50) - This one is fun. My house is Slytherin, but I added a lot more restraints to this Boot camp. I'm writting a drabble collection, of 50 drabbles, each of them with exactly 500 words (yeah! it takes discipline), based on a prompt (from the prompt list on the boot camp), an emotion (selected by me, and that is the title of the story), and a song by White Lies (that's why I combined it with the Music Appreciation Challenge). In addition, each drabble features a different Slytherin character. I truly believes that not every Slytherin was a blind/mad follower of Voldemort, and these drabbles aim to depict them as interesting people, capable of true, intense and uncontrolable emotions, both good and bad. In a way, they all relate to each other, so they make sense as a collection... A good thing about the strict word count is that i don't limit myself as i'm writting, so I write as much as comes to mind and later i cut of loads to fit the most relevant parts in 500 words. As a result, I am collecting a lot of material for further exploration of those characters.
- Henry Morgan, Forever Pilot “Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don’t do it for money. That’s not what it’s about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They’re fans, but they’re not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.” —Lev Grossman, TIME, July 18, 2011 |
