I’ll be keeping my challenge ideas, and any possibly too controversial stories (NC-17 ratings) or maybe stories with a lot of quotes from the books (like my Marauders-read-HP-books -- if I ever finish them) at this new location.

Gender: Female Height: 5’3” Weight: Darling – it isn’t polite to ask

(Draco Malfoy to Harry Potter) "Love your enemies Harry, because your friends may turn out to be a bunch of assholes."

- A Moment in Time by The Shadow Bandit - http://www.fanfiction.ws/s/1462543/1/

Birthday: December 23 – I went home in a stocking on Christmas Day when I was born!

"I think," interjected Remus, and James was delighted to see he still had that way of looking quietly amused that most people wouldn't notice, "that you must be a bit out of the loop, Severus."

"You see, James here was never dead after all," said Sirius helpfully. "Surprise!"

- We Are The Dead by sazzlette (found on LJ, I just love it because that one line seems to sum up Remus and Sirius perfectly)

About me: I am your atypical college student. I have been working to pay my way through school for the better part of a decade (life can be so cruel!). But, lucky for me, I have a boyfriend who loves me beyond reason and is currently helping me get through school (by letting me quit my job) so I can finish faster! Oh – to be loved! And so life is good again. And all this spare time is translating into creativity – hence the need to write! NEW NOTE: I am soooo sorry I haven’t updated in so long! I’m in my senior year at college – but :fingers crossed: I will graduate at the end of May this year, and have more time for my stories, which I have been working on off and on, but hope to get new chapters out at the end of May!

(Snape) “Knowledge is power.”

(Harry) “And power corrupts. So study hard. Be evil.”

- The Heir of Slytherin by rayama - http://www.fanfiction.ws/s/2905557/1/

Likes: Finding the humor in any situation, Living life to the fullest, Reviews that are constructive (not flames), Reaching for your dreams, The lost art of romance, and anything involving James and Sirius (truer friends you’ll never find)

Enough is never enough. Seriously, it isn't.

- Slytherin Code of Conduct by Philadelphia's Worst Nightmare - http://www.fanfiction.ws/s/3011585/1/

Dislikes: Overuse of the term “Unresolved Sexual Tension” – not every couple of friends who argue constantly are secretly in love/lust people! Sometimes they don’t have much in common and don’t know how to communicate!

(Remus) “Well, Harry, you got a very special present for your birthday.”

(Harry) “Present, what do you mean present?” I glowered at Remus, but my glare just bounced off him and set fire to one of the curtains.

Favorite Books: The Harry Potter Series – that’s a given, Anything by Jane Austen or Dorothy Parker, Sophie Kinsella’s books (Shopaholic series and Can You Keep a Secret)

Favorite Movies: Can I even list a few? I am a movie-aholic! Hmmm – thinking – nearly every Disney or Pixar movie; The Blues Brothers, Where the Heart is, any Muppet Movie, The Mummy & The Mummy Returns, All the Harry Potter flicks of course – I practically have those memorized line for line by now I bet; Signs – it was scary mostly because you weren’t entire sure what you were afraid of until nearly the end, and then all the pieces fell into place; What Lies Beneath – I love true suspense movies, you really don’t see enough of that these days.

(Harry) “Say it old man,” Harry gritted out, standing, fists clenched at his sides. Even Dumbledore’s pathetic expression was not going to calm him.

(Dumbledore) “Only the winner will be allowed to marry you.”

“You’re telling me that I get to be the jackpot prize in some Wizarding game show. Then this complete stranger who could be anybody from Voldemort to Fudge to you,” he jabbed a finger at the bearded man, “gets to knock me up and do whatever else they please and I get no say what-so-ever. Did I miss anything…Headmaster?”

Snape grinned evilly, “No that just about sums it up Potter.”

My philosophy on fanfiction: There’s enough angst in the world, I don’t really need to add more in fanfiction (but I confess I will occasionally write light angst). But, I do appreciate well written angst – only if it’s resolved in the end – I hate sad endings.

The man's demeanour was so blunt and self-assured it bordered on rude. The medi-wizard rather reminded Harry of Snape, except the potions master totally ignored the border and invaded the country in force, and with extreme prejudice.

- No Light Without Shadows by Draeconin - http:///viewstory.php?sid=17111&textsize=0&chapter=1

My Favorite Ships are: While I’m really devoted to slash, I do occasionally like het, so my favs of both are:

Harry/Hermione Lily/James Ron/Luna Neville/Ginny Ginny/Draco Remus/Tonks Remus/Harry Remus/Sirius Sirius/Harry Draco/Harry Hermione/Remus Lucius/Harry Severus/Harry

Rose: Doctor, they’ve got guns.

Doctor: And I don’t, which makes me the better person, don’t you think? They can shoot me dead, but the moral high ground is mine.

- Dr. Who (BBC Series)

Ships I hate or dislike intensely:

Harry/Ginny (Until HBP he never showed the slightest interest in her, and even though it's canon now, I still feel it was forced - sorry to H/G shippers)

Ron/Hermione (It would be fun for a while but it wouldn’t last – she needs an equal partner and he needs someone who won’t outshine him – sorry to R/Hr shippers)

Draco/Hermione (WHAT!) Ron/any member of his family (Gross!)

Harry/Luna (He needs more stability than she can provide – although I think they are excellent friends)

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experiences of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

- Adam Douglas (not to be confused with Douglas Adams)

Don't forget to check out my C2: Care of Magical Creatures at http://www.fanfiction.ws/c2/24549/3/0/1/ - this is all the ships that include a magical creature seeking a mate, primarily Harry focused, but could be anybody!

NEW! I also have a new C2 at my other username: Black Magick Rose

HP Crossover Collection is at http://www.fanfiction.ws/c2/45599/3/0/1/ - Where I keep all my Harry Potter crossovers that I like: Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Lord of the Rings, Charmed, Angel the Series, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There might be others but those are the main ones.

They landed with a thud on the wet pitch. Harry tried to throw Draco off him, but the taller boy held strong, so Harry only really managed to roll over on top of him and fist his hand angrily in Draco’s hair.

Draco yowled, for he felt it was the proper thing to do, and also, it bloody hurt.

They were clearly attempting to fight, but were failing miserably. This could not be helped, being English and all.

- How to Shag Your Most Hated Enemy and Still Feel Alright About it, You Know, Morally Speaking by Stellabelle (on LJ)

Coming up:

I am currently working on several stories that have been spinning in my head, and hope to post soon. Included will be continuations of a couple of one-shots by other authors (with their permission of course), a Severitus fic, and a new twist on the ‘Marauders-read-Harry-Potter Books idea’.

"Now, Remus, I believe the traditional question has to be asked," Ted said, with enough gravity that Remus knew he was having him on. "Just what precisely are your intentions towards my daughter?"

Remus set his fork and knife down and glanced at Tonks, clearing his throat. "Well, I thought I'd start with ravishment, move on to kidnapping, and finish with a shady half-legal wedding performed by a Muggle priest at knifepoint."

"Mmh. You're aware the traditional rope won't work on Nymphadora?"

"Oh, I've been practicing my petrification spells."

"You are the most ill-behaved man I have ever married," Andromeda said to Ted. Tonks was bright red. "You're only encouraging him."

"That's the general idea," Ted replied. "I want grandchildren, Andi."

"DAD!"

"Sorry, sweetheart. In your own time, of course," Ted patted her hand. "But if you're not planning on it until later in life, I wish you'd let me know and I'll get a puppy in the meantime."

Parting thought (I confess not my own): Existence is a generally agreeable but extremely under appreciated arrangement.
