Hello. I'm aussiesheila47. As you can probably tell, I'm from Australia. I go by JennyBear on FictionAlley and Checkmated, and jennybear47 on DeviantArt. jennybear47 here on Fanfiction.Net was taken when I signed up, I believe...

I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, and that will almost always come first. But I also like High School Musical, Pirates of the Caribbean, Love Actually, Superman (in almost any incarnation, but the 90s TV series is the best IMHO, since I've never seen Smallville), Little Women, Phantom of the Opera, My Fair Lady, Anne of Green Gables, and (almost) anything by Meg Cabot. Oh, and Scooby-Doo. ^_^ I do NOT, repeat NOT, like Twilight.

Ships I support and thus you will likely find in my stories: Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione (my OTP), Severus/Lily, James/Lily, Troyella, Chaylor, Zekepay, Gilbert/Anne, Clark/Lois (duh), Nat/Daisy, Erik/Christine, Michael/Mia, Buzz/Jessie, Darcy/Elizabeth (because how could you not ship them?), Bingley/Jane, Col. Fitzwilliam/Georgiana, Brandon/Marianne, Edward/Elinor, Knightley/Emma, Edmund/Fanny, Tom/Susan, Wentworth/Anne, Henry/Catherine, et al.

As you can probably tell, I prefer canon ships! The only uncanon ship I support in any way, shape or form is Elizabeth/Norrington from PotC. (Why did James Norrington have to DIE in AWE??)

Best villains: the ones in Lois and Clark: the New Adventures of Superman. Tempus especially - he had some great lines.

Anyway. I feel vindicated, because JK Rowling recently said that although there was a bit of Voldy's soul in Harry, Harry technically wasn't a Horcrux as Voldy never encased that bit of soul in Harry. Yay! (I never liked the idea of Harry as a Horcrux, so I'm quite pleased.)

I don't like Emma Watson as Hermione - at least, not since Movie III and that horrible pink hoodie. (Since when did Hermione wear pink?) But Rupert Grint is wonderful as Ron ... then again, Rupert Grint is wonderful in anything, even Thunderpants. Edit: Ms Watson has dissed Twilight. Good girl.

I got Phantom of the Opera tickets for Christmas 2007! I'm going to see the show in March when it comes to my city! I was on a high for twenty minutes when I opened the envelope ... Update: March 23 2008, I saw it last night. I have one word for you: SQUEE! Anthony Warlow was amazing as usual, and he wore Erik's fedora like Gerry Butler didn't (such a classic silhouette, my younger brother jumped when I squealed). For some strange reason, the show treated Raoul more sympathetically than the Phantom. (No idea why - isn't it called the Phantom of the Opera, not the Vicomte de Chagny?) Anyway, I could die tomorrow and I'd die happy. Not too sure about the wonderfully kind people who have my fics on Story Alert, but I know I'd die happy. :)

I am now officially into 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. My opinions so far, since I'm only partway through Season 5? Anya is cool. Xander is cool. Anya/Xander is fine. Angelus - i.e. shirtless!Angel, IrishAccent!Angel, and BadBoy!Angel - is hot. Faith is hot, especially pre-coma, where she's better-groomed. Willow is hot, especially in Doppelgangland, especially torturing 'the puppy'. Riley can go jump off a cliff. Buffy can go have an unconsumated relationship with Angel. I want Spike! (And Giles. Which can't be as weird as a friend of mine shipping Giles/Willow. Because that's just odd.) And Oz serves as a warning to all werewolves (coughRemusLupincough), vampires (coughEdwardCullencough) and other supernatural creatures that it is not a good idea to let your ideas of nobility 'I must keep my girlfriend safe' get so irritating that you must leave, because by the time you come back, having supposedly mastered your inner demon, she has moved and and got herself a GIRLfriend. Not that I have anything against Willow/Tara, I actually think it's cute.

I have also read every novel Jane Austen finished. 'Sense & Sensibility' is my favourite, possibly because the latest movie (i.e. Ang Lee's) had Alan Rickman as Col. Brandon and I just adore Alan Rickman. My least favourite would have to be 'Emma,' which makes an original story I'm writing very odd, since I discovered over the June-July holidays of 2008 that it is a modern of Emma. Which means that it's not original at all, and I must like 'Clueless' more than I realised. I haven't read 'Sanditon' yet, and I was turned off by 'The Watsons' when I read on the first page of Joan Aiken's completed version that there was a character called 'Emma Watson.' So totally not a book I would read. Edit: Rank order: 1) 'Sense and Sensibility'. 2) 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Persuasion' (equal, since they're both awesome). 3) 'Mansfield Park'. 4) 'Northanger Abbey'. 5) 'Emma'. NB I consider 'Northanger Abbey' required reading for Twihards. See Twi-hating paragraphs below below for more information. Edit 2: 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies'. Read it. It's inspired. 'Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters' isn't quite as good, but it's not bad. Unfortunately I can't find 'Mansfield Park and Mummies' or 'Emma and the Werewolves.' Can someone tell me please if the werewolves in question stand in for the gypsies, or if they're actually Mr Knightley/Frank Churchill/Mrs Elton/any (combination) of the above, or if they're a plot-point added like the zombies. Also how 'Mansfield Park' stands with three guys wanting to marry Fanny Price. I just can't see her as that popular. And does anyone know if there's going to be a mashup of 'Northanger Abbey'?

I have now read 'Twilight,' at the insistence of various friends. I wouldn't have gone on to read the next two if they hadn't hyped them up so much. Favourite character: Alice. Freaky coincidence: I have a friend with red hair called Victoria whose canine teeth used to be like fangs before she got braces. Rant: Wtf is with the vampires? Practically everything about them helps them catch their prey. And their one weakness - turning to dust in sunlight - is made into 'We only sparkle.' And could Stephanie Meyer please actually describe Edward, instead of just saying he has 'perfect' eyes and a 'perfect' forehead and is basically undead 'perfection'? Personal shipping: Bella can have Edward, I want Jacob. Except my friend Victoria has claimed Jake for herself in our group, so when we talk about it, to keep from having my head ripped off, I have to settle for Seth. (And now I'm older than he is. Oh dear.) Plus, could Ms Meyer have ripped off 'Buffy' any more, only omitting to give Bella a personality? I'm not such a big fan that I'll buy 'Breaking Dawn,' (I'll borrow it from the school library in a few months. (Edit: I read the first chapter in a bookstore and have decided it's not worth completing) nor am I going to subject myself to the movies. (Robert Pattinson wasn't Cedric Diggory. What makes them think he's Edward?) Edit: there is a chain store for teen girls' fashion that is highly prevalent in the country I live in. Holy printing presses, they have t-shirts that say 'I kissed a vampire and I liked it' and 'I heart Jacob'. Please, has everyone gone insane??

Speaking of actors completely and utterly visually wrong for their parts: Prince Caspian. Actually, I have quite a large rant about Narnia, so bear with me here, OK? The only reason I went to the first one was because William Mosely is hot. I knew it would be terrible; book-to-film transitions are, as a rule. Then I was peeved off because they hadn't started with The Magician's Nephew. That really irritated me. Next thing I know (aside from the God-awful 'Epic Movie,' which should be burnt) they've skipped The Horse and His Boy, and gone on to Prince Caspian. Which I can understand, since they would have wanted to use the same actors as in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, but The Horse and his Boy is my favourite. Three things about Prince Caspian which I can take from the posters and the trailers, without even bothering to see the film: A) What. Did. They. Do. To. Peter's. Hairstyle? B) Trailer: 'I am Prince Caspian.' Me: 'No. You're not.' Prince Caspian is fourteen, blond, and Narnian. Not 18 (or is it 19?), dark and Spanish. I guess they needed a dark-haired foil to Peter's blond-ness? C) Could Caspian's uncle look more like armoured-up-Sauron from LotR? The next thing I would like to know is if they're planning on skipping Voyage on the Dawn Treader? Because they shouldn't, since it's basically the same characters plus Eustace. And I do actually want to see their take on dragon!Eustace. Plus how would they do The Silver Chair without introducing Eustace? Then they have the problem of Tirian's vision-thingummy in The Last Battle where he sees Polly and Diggory along with Eustace, Jill and the Pevensies minus Susan. What, will they cut Polly and Diggory completely and just not do The Magician's Nephew at all? ... It has just occured to me that I haven't read the Narnia books for about 5 years and I still remember these details without having to consult them. Or Wikipedia. And yet I never really read them very avidly. This is strange. Edit: I watched 'Prince Caspian' on the plane from Paris to Singapore, which is an extremely long flight and I didn't want to disturb my neighbours with my reading light (I was close to finishing 'Lorna Doone,' which is beautiful if lengthy.) My verdict is that it is better than I expected, although I know I'm in the minority in that the Susan/Caspian subplot disturbed me. And I'm still peeved that the filmmakers decided to make the Calormenes Spanish instead of Turkish/Persian/Indian. I imagine it was so they weren't accused of racism. Still, it would have been nice if they had gone along with the illustrations in the books, which to the best of my knowledge had C.S. Lewis's approval. And ... a group of my friends and I went to see the Dawn Treader as the filming was going on; it was absolutely beautiful (the ship, I mean) and we had a good time sniggering to ourselves as the extras came off the lot and went for lunch, while being harrassed for photos. I'm almost certain we saw Ben Barnes walk off the gangplank a few minutes earlier, and if the girl we saw in the Lucy-dress, going onto the lot, was the actual actress, she's super-tiny. Then again, almost any girl would be dwarfed by those buff sailor dudes. Their costumes, btw? Gorgeous. This is a film I want to see, even though Ben Barnes. Is. Not. Caspian.

OK, so North and South is basically Pride and Prejudice: 50-odd Years Later. Still, Richard Armitage is hotter than the sun. The score is nice, the sets are beautiful, and whoever played Frederick wasn't half cute. If you are into North and South and you haven't heard of , this is an unpaid, unasked-for plug, you should go there. If you have a sense of humour, check out the Humour page. Especially the 'Things Learnt From N&S.' Also the conversation between Thornton and Darcy. Gotta love the Brits! Edit: I have now read the book. It's bloody brilliant. I've also read, now, most of Elizabeth Gaskell's other works, with just the novellas 'My Lady Ludlow' and 'Sylvia's Lovers' to go, along with the short stories that I can't seem to find. She's a great writer, or perhaps I just really warm to that Victorian sentimentality+moralising+exposing-the-situation-of-the-poor shtuff. No, she has sensitive prose, and constructs her plots really well, IMHO. I recommend her books for anyone for whom Dickens is a bit intimidating. Then you can work your way up to the Brontes, and then and then attempt Dickens. And after Dickens, try George Eliot. After all that, the French (Dumas, Hugo, et al) and the Russian (Tolstoy et al) novelists will be a piece of cake. Well, maybe not the Russians, but you will have been primed!.

Aug 1, 2008: I just got around to watching the teaser trailer for HBP. What. The. Hell? There is more to HBP than young Tom Riddle. Such as the Half-Blood Prince himself, perhaps? And Ron and Hermione's fight? And Harry/Ginny? July 19, 2009: I saw it. Omfg, what a horrible movie. They took so many liberties with the book! Harry/Ginny was sooo badly done, there was hardly anything about the Half-Blood-Prince himself, and what. The. Hell. Was with (SPOILER) Dumbledore's death scene? (END SPOILER) I saw the movie with my friend wiccabookworm and we both laughed out loud at the sight of Michael Gambon flailing around when he was (SPOILER) supposed to be dead (END SPOILER). People around us were either sobbing or staring at us for laughing. But we couldn't help ourselves! Also, Dan Radcliffe didn't play Harry, he played Dan Radcliffe. Harry wouldn't be so crass, even under the influence of Felix Felicis, at Aragog's funeral. And what was with the Dumbledore-only-just-realises-that-Harry-is-a-Horcrux moment? If the people making the movies had bothered to read the books, they would have realised that that moment was actually in 'Chamber of Secrets,' with that dialogue exchange: 'Voldemort put a bit of himself in me?' 'It certainly seems so. Not intentionally, of course...'. No, I didn't like it. I also find it rather interesting that JK Rowling was so full of praise for the first three movies, but I haven't head her opinion on anything about the most recent three. Maybe she doesn't like them abusing her opus. I know I wouldn't. If I ever get rich enough, I swear I'll blow it all on making HP movies that actually are true to the books! In the meantime, there's always fanfiction :D

July 11 2008, I saw 'Wicked' down in Melbourne. Wow. I watched 'The Wizard of Oz' a fortnight later, with my mother, and I think she got fed up with me commenting every 3 lines of dialogue. And another musical - I'm going to see 'My Fair Lady' when it comes to my city. Whee!! Edit: We never got around to going to see it. On the other hand, we may end up going to see 'Chicago'. Funny thing: the woman who plays Kim in 'Kath and Kim' (Australian version) is going to play Matron Mama Morton. Can we say weird? And Craig McLauchlan or however you spell his name is going to play the lawyer, so I don't think I'll go see it after all.

Aug 24, 2008: My first flame. Yay. Oh well. At least I can delete emails. Thanks so very, very much to Flame Rising for taking the time to comment with such biting wit on 'Eleventh Grade Social'. No, I'm not above naming and shaming. Although I have to say, the last time I was attacked so ... viciously, I was twelve. And so was the attacker.

OK, I have to have another rant on 'Twilight'. Could it just DIE, please? Pretty please? Painfully? The thing about it is that Bella. Is. A. Fucking. Mary. Sue. So it seems as though every girl at my school between the ages of 12 and 15 can put herself in Bella's place. Because who wouldn't want a gorgeous vampire in love with them? (For absolutely no reason than that she is extraordinarily pretty and her blood 'sings' to him. Um, wtf?) To the extent that there is a shelf in the 'M' part of the fiction section of our library with a 'Stephanie Meyer' sticker on it. Now, there are lots of authors out their who deserve their own shelves - Dickens, for instance, and Dumas, and Austen, and Isabel Allende - but no, Ms Meyer is accorded that honour as well. Yeesh. I can understand why people say it's their 'guilty pleasure,' because that's what Meg Cabot is to me. It's when they say that the characters are so deep and true to life and that the books are so well-written that I get pissed off. Stephanie Meyer really shouldn't brag about having no formal writing training. It shows. And these girls are reading this rubbish writing and not realising that vampire fiction - hell, even vampire chick-lit, shout-out to Betsy Taylor - is usually not very like 'Twilight'. But these are the same girls who read 'Gossip Girl' (excuse me while I vomit) so Bram Stoker is a little beyond them. Ugh. I am so over Twilight. Kudos to Stephen King for slamming it.

Another rant - Wuthering Heights, which I read from cover to cover over the June-July break. Oh ye gods, what an awful book! I could not like any of the characters. Heathcliff is not a Byronic hero, he has serious mental problems. Cathy is a self-centred bitch. Hindley, Edgar, Isabella and Linton are weak. Catherine-the-younger alternately is a spoiled child and a sullen bint. Hareton is the only halfway decent one in the main action of the story, and then I only feel sorry for him for what Heathcliff did to him. Nelly is definitely an unreliable narrator, and Lockwood is kinda stoopid. I also have to question the introduction to the edition I have - the woman who wrote it just gushed about the appeal of the book (which I still can't see) and how big a part of her life it's been. Every other so-called 'classic' I've read has had a thoughtful introduction discussing the themes of the book and its initial critical reception. Um, problematic, huh? I suppose I ought to have taken warning at the mentions of WH in 'Twlilight,' huh, since I also don't like 'Romeo and Juliet' which also rates a mention in Stephanie Meyer's prose. I just finished Jane Eyre, and I liked it much better. That text is definitely feminist, though colonialist - all those casual dismissals of the people who live in countries other than England, but Rochester has to lean on Jane a couple of times; that definitely appeals to my own feminist mindset!

May 03, 2009: Last night was my senior formal. So the music sucked (as usual ... call me a snob, but I don't like pop music) but other than that I had a great time. Especially as I didn't take anyone, which meant I could focus on my own enjoyment and not have to worry about a bloke all night ... pick-up, button-holes, dinner, dancing, the post, the post-post ... I was so lucky. Plus, even though the theme was Moulin Rouge (the girls in my grade would choose the skankiest theme ... we could have had Gods and Goddesses and been classy and all Mt Olympus, but no) the formal was, for me, themed rose. Seriously. First of all, my middle name is Rose. Then my dress design, for all that wiccabookworm calls it 'Cinderella' (because I kept paying her out about the massive slit in the skirt of hers!) is called 'Rose'. Then for Easter my grandma gave me a huge chocolate egg and a pack of scented soaps, one of which was ... rose! And when Mum and I organised perfume for the night, we found a really nice rose-scented eau de toilette that came with a rose-scented deoderant (a word which I can never spell correctly, but you get the gist, right? Right?). The Dress kinda poofs out in the skirt since it has tulle underneath it ... I didn't want to be all scratched like I was when I had tulle under a ballet costume years ago, so I had to get a half-slip - which has a lace trim on the hem, in the pattern of, you guessed it, roses. Then when I asked about a corsage, from a florist called Rose Garden (!) I found out the options were roses or orchids. By that time I just decided to go with the theme! And then this afternoon when I got my make-up done, the spa-lady chose the shade of lip-gloss, but Mum bought me a tube of it so I could touch it up throughout the night ... I looked at the box while she was paying for it. "Mum, you're not going to believe this!" I also had a bit of a Cinderella moment, but not with my shoe. I was running to get back into the hall for the Grade 12 dance (to 'Single Ladies' ... I never want to hear that song again, even if I totally agree with its message...) and my corsage, which annoyed me all night, fell off. Unfortunately there was no handsome prince running after me; I had to turn back and pick it up myself. :sigh:.

July 03, 2009: I go to Mugglenet for HP news, and have been reading the GMH stories-of-the-day that they post. Today I actually went to GMH and found a link to a Youtube video that amazed and humbled me. Copy and paste the following link into your browser for one of (if not the) most inspirational things on the web for Gen Y ... and our critics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42E2fAWM6rA

Like several million others, I've been waiting 11 years to see Toy Story 3 - and it doesn't disappoint. KNEEL BEFORE PIXAR, LESSER MORTALS!!!!! They have once again proven (as if there was any doubt) that they are the premier artists when it comes to CGI. The short at the front was adorable, and I - I! - had, er, something in my eye, at numerous points in the main story. I don't know what little kids get out of it, but when I came home from the cinema I went to my old toys sitting in a corner of my room and cuddled them, and told them I still loved them, because I felt so damned guilty. This is an awesome film and I can hardly wait for the DVD, so I can weep over it in the privacy of my own home. :) Edit: I received the whole trilogy on DVD for Christmas 2010. The Pixar love-in will commence momentarily!

My stories:

HP:
Post-GF, Pre-OP and Post-OP, Pre-HBP
None at the present moment. A summer-after-fifth-year, Ron/Hermione Harry/Ginny story may be written eventually. If the muse pleases...

Post-HBP, Pre-DH
Unwritten - A preDH story, spanning several generations. The then untold story of the Potterverse. Rated for safety. Now abandoned, sorry. (Please don’t let the Maruader-era chapters put you off, I know they suck but they are a part of the story.) Edit: This will most likely end up deleted. I can't believe I used to write like this. Ugh. Or maybe it should be read as an exercise how-NOT-to-write, a kind of cautionary tale of bad writing. Bleurgh.
Unwritten 2 - Sequel (duh) to 'Unwritten.' A pre-DH version of Book 7. Canon ships, of course. Rated for safety. Not entirely necessary to read 'Unwritten' first. Complete!
Hermione Granger, the Cleverest Witch in the World - What would The Princess Bride be like, told with the Harry Potter characters instead? Maybe a little something like this ... currently on hiatus.
A Random Conversation Between Two HP Fans - A Random Conversation Between Two HP Fans, Their Friend And Their Teacher, circa 2005. True story! (One-shot, complete)
Three Act Comedy - Revenge of the Frustrated Writers, or, Harry Potter’s Life is Disrupted by Original Characters. Trailer inside. Complete.

How Aeroplanes Stay Up - Severus sees an announcement in the Daily Prophet which prompts him to make a lifechanging decision. Oneshot, sequel of sorts to Mistletoe.
Threaten And Adore - Christmas 1979. One man watches another leave his house, his wife. The first man pays a visit. Oneshot, sequel to How Aeroplanes Stay Up and Mistletoe. Rated for safety.
Across The Hall - My first Rose/Scorpius fic. Al Potter gets frustrated and attempts to match-make his best mates. Oneshot, rated for suggestion at the end.
Series of Unfortunate Events - The Life and Lies of Severus Snape. Proper summary inside. Rated for safety in later chapters. No connections to the Mistletoe series, except for the characters. WIP. (Will probably end up deleted, since I'm going to put all my energy into Perditus, which will cover everything I'd planned for this and more)

Coming Soon
Perditus - 'perditus.' adj. Forbidden. (Latin). The years Severus spent with Lily, and the years without her. First in the Perditus series, so no connections to the Mistletoe trilogy, except for the characters. Contains possibly the darkest scenes I've ever written - stalking, self-harm, domestic violence, and marital rape. Severus/Lily, James/Lily, hints of Remus/Tonks, and bits of Lucius/Narcissa, Arthur/Molly, Ted/Andromeda, Ron/Hermione, Harry/Ginny.
Perditus Redux, or, The Second Chance of Severus Snape: Severus gets a chance to relive his life, starting with his biggest mistake. Inspired by the 'Back To The Future' trilogy (kinda sorta). Second in the Perditus series. Rated for a considerable mental age difference which could make eventual sex scenes squicky.
Aedificium: 'aedificium;' n. Building. (Latin). Harry has just defeated Voldemort, so he wants ... a sandwich? OK Ms Rowling, you create the canon, I'll do my best to work with it. Canon pairings, as per usual, i.e. Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Bill/Fleur, Percy/Audrey, George/Angelina, Neville/Hannah, Arthur/Molly, Teddy/Victoire, Draco/Astoria, Lucius/Narcissa ... etc. Will go right up to DH's Epilogue. Third in the Perditus series.
Minutiae: 'minutiae.' n. The small things. (Latin). Albus Potter, Rose Weasley, Scorpius Malfoy, Alice Longbottom. Four firm friends trying to make it through Hogwarts with less drama than their parents. Fourth in the Perditus series. Largely Rose/Scorpius; also contains Teddy/Victoire, Al Potter/OC (Alice Longbottom, Neville's daughter).
Roses: Eileen Snape grows roses in her garden. Severus Snape sometimes has occasion to send a bloom Lily's way. Companion-piece to the Perditus series.
Blue: Rose Weasley likes the colour blue, and dresses, and blue dresses. Companion-piece to the Perditus series.
Presents: A tale of childhood, and material things. Companion-piece to the Perditus series.
Relationship Upgrade: (title subject to change) In which Teddy and Victoire become rather more than 'just friends.' Characterisation drawn from the Perditus series; plot is unrelated.

HSM:
High School Afterparty - Oneshot. Written before HSM2, set directly after HSM1. Troy and Gabriella go to the afterparty, and Troy drives Gabriella home. Includes mentions of Chaylor and Zekepay, mainly Troyella.
Eleventh Grade Social - Inspired by true life! The Eleventh Grade Combined Schools Social between East Boys' College and East Girls' College is coming up, and everyone is looking forward to it. Well, except maybe Ms Darbus. But that's not important. Complete.
The Little Match Girl: What if Chad and Taylor never felt their consciences pricking them in HSM1 and Troy and Gabriella stayed apart? What if their paths cross again 10 years later in New York? Troyella, Zekepay, Relsi, mild Chad- and Taylor-bashing. Rated for themes. WIP. Edit: Undergoing a rewrite, removing the Relsi. Ryan is now gay.
The Accompanist: Kelsi watches Ryan demonstrate swing-dancing to the Wildcats, and wonders. A missing-moment rehearsal scene from HSM2. One-shot, complete. Not even remotely connected to 'The Little Match Girl'.

Coming Soon
(Untitled-as-yet): When Gabriella's dad comes into town, her life takes a rapid downhill spiral. Can Troy help her out? Troyella, Chaylor, Zekepay, Relsi, HSM3 doesn't happen. I will finish writing it eventually, and post it at intervals. NB: This is shaping up to be a post-HSM2, rather expanded version of 'High School Afterparty'.
Books and Basketballs: We all know that HSM1 was a modern!Grease and/or modern!Romeo-and-Juliet (puke). What if there a modern!Pride&Prejudice going on as well? Major Chaylor, minor Troyella.

PotO:
N.B: My old story, 'Phantom of the Opera' is now deleted due to its utter crappiness.
Down Once More: Christine and Raoul visit the Opera Populaire twenty years after leaving it. All goes well, until Christine falls down a trap-door...

Coming Soon
Sleepwalker: Songfic to the song of the same name by Nightwish. Erik teaches Christine to sing.

Coming Soon
Sometime over the December/January holidays of 2008/2009 I will attempt Fanfic100. Wish me luck! Edit: nothing doing, for a while.
Walking In The Air - A fic, or maybe a real songfic, inspired by 'Walking In The Air' as sung by Nightwish.
Call Me Irresponsible - Songfic, kind-of crossover with 'Angel' for the karaoke bar Caritas.

Coming soon:
Sense and Sensibility:
Reason and Romance - A S&S Modern.
Wives and Sisters - S&S Regency continuation, in which Marianne gives her hand to the Colonel.
Pride and Prejudice:
First Impressions - A P&P Modern. Liz Bennet never thought she'd fall for a man who called himself 'Fitz.' I mean, really, who does that?
Five Gold Rings - P&P Regency continuation, in which the author shall strive to remain true to the Word of God ... er, that is, the Word of Miss Austen, when moving secondary characters around.
Emma:
The Perils of Matchmaking - An Emma Modern, in which the age gap between our two leads has been lessened to reduce the squick factor.
M Takes N - Emma Regency continuation.
Mansfield Park:
Mansfield University - A Mansfield Park Modern, set at (oddly enough) a university.
Mansfield Parsonage - Mansfield Park Regency continuation. Henry Crawford is an unmitigated prat.
Persuasion:
Peer Pressure - A Persuasion Modern. Anne felt as though she was living in a romantic comedy, except there was a decided lack of comedy and the male lead wasn't interested in her. But that, of course, was her own fault.
Salt Water - Persuasion Regency continuation. Anne and Frederick made many mistakes. But it all came right in the end.
Northanger Abbey:
Catherine and the Chocolate Factory: NA modern, complete with 'Twilight'-bashing and a smattering of philosophy. Three guesses as to the title's origin...
Well Read - NA Regency Continuation. Catherine and Eleanor get their happy endings; Isabella ... does too?

Anne of Green Gables
Coming soon:
In The Wee Small Hours: In which Gilbert dreams of Anne. Songfic to the song of the same name as sung by Frank Sinatra.

Toy Story
Coming soon:

Tangled
