Sooo... Some basic information for those of you that are interested:

I am a 30 year old social scientist working in statistics. I am not a native speaker (nope, I am German) and I only write fanfiction from time to time. I have now three one-shots and one four chaptered story completed. My incomplete story "A Lover's Complaint" is on indefinite hiatus. I hope that the muse will kiss me so I can finish it, but at the moment it doesn't seem to be too eager to do so, unfortunately.

Okay, after I had found that one of my stories (Red Hot Lover) had been plagiarised some time ago, I received a message that somebody read a story very similar to The Escort somewhere else. I quote: "Not sure where, but I read the escort elsewhere, but it was Lucius, and the girl a boy. All the rest is lost (sic!) the same. Word by word." unfortunately the person who send me this message doesn't remember where she read it. I still don't know who did that or where the story is stored, so I'd really ask you to send me a message if you had read it, too. Because I want to see that for myself... Thanks a lot!

On a much happier note: Pineapple.X translated my story Red Hot Lover to Spanish, I am so honored she thought it was worth her time and effort! If your mother tongue is Spanish, please go and check it out. She has translations from other stories also...

Ships I sail: My pen name says it all, I love HG/DM as well as HG/LM stories. I am a bit flexible, though, as long as the story is nicely written! Lately I've been reading a lot of HG/SS stories, but my "first love" will alway be Hermione and the Malfoys.

Things I appreciate: Constructive criticism. If you like my stories, that's great, tell me. If you don't, that's okay, too. Even more reason to tell me, at least if it is due to: a) my writing style b) mistakes I and my beta missed or c) things that seem not plausible or confusing to you. I always strive to improve my writing, so this kind of reviews help me a lot!

Things I don't appreciate: Criticism that leads to nothing. If you don't like my pairings or my plots or even the way I describe a character... Well, that's just bad luck. I won't change it (except if it's because you can point out that my writing was not consistent). Nobody is obliged to read my stories, so if you feel like you can't connect at all with what I am writing, just don't read it.
