Fandoms:
At the moment I'm only into writing Harry Potter. This is because all my other fandoms are TV shows that I haven't watched in a while...
Scratch that, I'm not really into writing fic atm.

Ships:
I'm pretty much into any ship involving Hermione. I like her with any of the Weasley boys (sometimes at the same time), except Ron and Percy. Oliver Wood, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin...the list goes on.

I also like to read. slash, threesomes, moresomes...whatever really.

Also, Theodore Nott is perhaps my favorite character in the entire Harry Potter universe, even though JKR tells us so little about him. He's just so appealing to me...so expect an abundance of Theo-related fics as well...

Ships I don't like:
The only ship I can say I don't like is Ron/Hermione. I really really really don't think it works. I'm not a huge fan of Ginny/Harry either but I can read it if I have too.

Oneshots
I never used to read oneshots or anything much under 10,000 words really. I used to think that anything that short couldn't possibly tell a story. In the last year I have become accepting of the oneshot thanks to the fandom Heroes as well as Livejournal which, as any LJ user will know, has an abundance of oneshots.

I have realised that oneshots are a great way to write a story without having to think up all that context and oneshots can be more effective than epics, especially when the story is particularly emotional and/or angsty.

I've even written a few oneshots myself! (Hint: read them)

My Fics:
I have an atrocious inability to finish a fic. I just lose steam after the first page or so you know? (That's why I'm quite one-shot prone) But I love writting and so I'm trying to concentrate harder on actually finishing something. Wish me luck =P

I'm gradually building my repertoire of fics and am quite proud of my work.

Working On:
I have so many idea that I fear I'll never get to write them all! Woe! (Lol)

Anyway, just a short note of what's going on with my in-progress fics, for those who are wondering.

NOTE: I am aware I’ve been slow to update but I do not need or appreciate people leaving reviews demanding that I "UPDATE ALEADY!". Doing this is not a cure for writer's block, nor does it eliminate any more important aspects of my life, such as exams, which have taken priority over updating my fics.

In short, reviews such as this are useless as they only serve to make me angry and do not motivate me to find time to write. Thank you to all those reviewers who have been nothing but patient, for you I am grateful.

Harmless Games: (TN/HG) OK, so, honestly, I had no intention of actually doing a sequel for this but I just came up with the idea and had to write it. You know how it is. Anyway, the sequel is called Think About It. It's complete and posted and perhaps you'd do me a favour and go read it? Updated: 15/07/08

Untitled:(FW/HG) This particular fic, at the current point in time, is untitled and un-posted. I've written 2 and a bit chapters. It's likely to be a bit complicated with some amount of humor and little to no angst or dark-ish themes at all. It needs much planning and preparation and therefore probably won't be posted until it's completely finished (which could be a while). Keep and eye out for it though, it should be good (I hope). Updated: 13/07/08

I know I've done enough shameless plugging of my own work already but while you're here, why not scroll down a little further and read some of my fics? Some of them are quite decent.
Go on, you know you want to.

And don't forget, reviews make me feel loved!
