Well hi! My name's Becca, I'm a Gryffindor, and I reside on the forums as twilightHPgirl18. I live in New York, I love the 1940s-'70s almost as much as I love Ashton Kutcher, and I'm actually working on an OF that takes place in 1966, and another in 1976 based on my dad's teenage life :)
My favorite bands are, in no particular order: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Bruce Springsteen, The Doors, and Pink Floyd.
I love the TV shows The Big Bang Theory, Gilmore Girls, Happy Days, Glee, Saturday Night Live (I love Jimmy Fallon and Will Ferrell), and Survivor.
My favorite movie at the moment is Pirate Radio (which I love oh so much), but I'm also very fond of Tommy Boy, Across the Universe, 21, The Breakfast Club, The Blues Brothers, and Grease.
My dream is to live in New York City, London, or New Haven, Connecticut. I'm just that cool ;)
Becca:D
“What we have is something special.”
“I thought so too until you cheated on me.”
They were the golden couple. They did everything together. They were totally in love, everyone could see it. But life is turned around when another girl comes into the equation. Nothing will ever be the same again.

Errr... wow? That's probably the best word for this. Basically, I love Gwen! She's original, at least what we get to see of her. So... any chance of expanding it? Maybe a Remus/Gwen one-shot? They seem to be the better pairing (to me at least) then Sirius and her. I love the ending sentence too. Powerful. Really. Anyway, I think it was really good, but roo short. It's one of those fics that's really great as a one-shot, but could possibly be better if it was chaptered. But I really did like it. I could see Sirius doing that (the whole cheating on his girlfriend thing), except maybe not as bad as he did. I think the emotions were captured perfectly as well. Great job, Mere! {BeccA} P.S. Just a quick question: are you going to update Everything Happens for a Reason soon? Because it's really good and I can't wait for another chapter of it.
Author's Response: -grins hugely- Thanks Becca! Your review just made my day. :D As for an expansion... I don't know. One of my beta's wanted more too, lol. I'm considering it. ;) I'm glad you like Gwen, she's one of my favourite OCs. I love the last sentence too! I was so proud of myself when I thought it up, lol. Thanks a lot for your review, kid. xo Mere P.S. Chapter two of EHR is in the queue! ;)
That was interesting. Is it finished, though. Because I think it says it's finished but it seems to short to be finished... it's very good though. I hope, if it is finished, there's a companion fic, and if it's not that it's updated quickly. Great job, Lena! {BeccA}
Author's Response: Hello!!
Thank you for taking the time to leave me such an encouraging review. I'm sorry about the confusion. When I said that the story was completed, I meant that the WHOLE story is completed, beta read, corrected etc on ALL ELEVEN chapters. So, stay tuned. I will try as hard as I can to get chapter 2 uploaded.
I must say, I can't take all the credit for this story. I was blessed to have three wonderful beta readers work on it. If you want a great beta reader, may I recommend Thegirllikeme, and or Shev. BTW I adore your penname. I'm a huge Beatle fan!
Victoria, I found this when I noticed the name 'Sirius Blac'. haha so... I like how this starts and ends in the same place, I like how finally someone wrote about how Walburga was nice until Sirius became a Gryffindor, and I liked the emotion in this, Excellent job, and it's going on my favorites. {BeccA}
Author's Response: Haha. Well, thanks for all the feedback...and WOA! I GET TO GO ON YOUR FAVORITES?? Wow...Thanks soo much! --Victoria
This was written by harry4lif of Ravenclaw and BE Evans of Hufflepuff for the August Interhouse Co-op Challenge.
This is such a great story! I love how they were so close to Seth, and that he had the gifts for them in Lily's dorm and that she remembered them. I read this book called Elsewhere where the girl, Liz, died before she could tell her father where his birthday present was. She contacted her brother Alvy with the help of her new friend and her father knew that she loved him. It reminds me of this a lot, and I just love all the emotion in it. Great Job! {BeccA}
Author's Response: I remember that book! Lol. And thank you. I love to here that people liked Brooke's and my story. :D ~Alyssa
I saw this title and had to read it! HILARIOUS! haha I love the Hufflepuffs yelling whe you come in. It was great! Nice job! {BeccA}
Author's Response:
Oh good! I’m glad the title caught your eye! Figuratively speaking, of course…
Thanks for reviewing! Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter!
Tim the Enchanter
Haggis? Really, Tim? That's the first time I've ever seen haggis appear in a fanfic... One of the only times I've ever heard the term 'haggis' used (this, and during a scene of National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets). Haggis-references aside, that was a purty good chapter! I can't wait to read the rest of this story! {BeccA}
Author's Response:
It’s a good thing you been sheltered for so long from the evil destructive power of the Haggis! Anyway, thanks for reviewing, and I hope you like the rest of the story.
~ Tim the Enchanter
"Marry me, sexy"? Vampire lesbian porn? Tim, I thought the communist invasion, and the haggis were enough! This chapter was still brilliant, as were the others, but wow. I have no idea where some of that came from!
“Hey Wat – what’s this I hear about you getting some girl pregnant?” asked Chris near the conclusion of this chapter.
Wat Tyler said nothing and merely fumed in private: Tim will definitely have to suffer for this.
BADLY.
Ooh, what are they going to do to you? I can't wait to find out! {BeccA}
Author's Response:
Hello Becca, again! I also happen to have NO IDEA where many of my ideas came from! Probably the same scary place wherein my brain lurks…
More insanity lies ahead. Read if you dare!
~ Tim the Enchanter
Tim the Enchanter munched on his cold, sugary cereal unusually aggressively. To put it in simple words, he was just plain mad… as in angry, not insane that is.
^Oh, I'm pretty sure he's both... No offense meant to you, Tim!
Even Lord Voldemort was in the disgruntled crowd. He was wearing bright yellow Wellington boots and a blue overcoat, and cuddled in his arm was a flamingo named Mr Sexy Pink. “Why did Tim have to save over Git.doc?” he bemoaned. “I loved being out of character – it was fun! And Tim is sexy!”
^Oh, my... I will never be able to see Volders in the same way again. And I thought that the PotterPuffs and PotterPuppetPals were OOC enough for him! You know I love it, though.
Brilliant, yet again. {BeccA}
Author's Response:
Thank you so much, Becca, for this story’s 100th REVIEW! Hurrah! I’ve actually drawn a picture of the Volders who appears in this chapter (though note that the flamingo has changed form!). Just copy and paste the URL below into your address bar to view:

. . .
Tim... I have no idea what to say to that grisly, horrific ending. So I'll go with my original idea:
I
LOVED
IT!
It was brilliantly written, and I do feel awful for Wat, Meagan, John, Harriet, Alice, Zigmond, and Chris... And I thought that in the beginning, there were 8 Gryffindor friends... what happened to the 8th one? Ah well, that was a pretty good story!
{BeccA}
Author's Response:
Thank you for reading and reviewing, and I’m glad you loved this story! Concerning the number of friends, there was originally eight, but in chapter two, one of the nameless girls in the group of friends went mad and left the story, leaving seven behind.
~ Tim the Enchanter
Whoa, Luna! That was great!!! I liked, uhh... Okay, I liked it all, but this was my favorite line:
I send it back with no remorse -
Quidditch is my driving force.
^^Sounds like me with my favorite soprt (for lack of a better word), Fencing. It's funlicious, and I'm actually pretty good at it, too... ANNNNYWAYYY, this was too awesome for words. Great, great, great job/idea/poem/type thing. Heh... {BeccA}
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review Becca! I've never tried fencing but I have a not-so-sneaking suspicion I woudl love it. Random question: is there a move in fencing called 'Tybalt' or am I going cuckoo?
Errr... I'm not exactly sure about Tybalt... I can ask my coach on Thursday though!
Author's Response: I could have sworn they described a sword-move as 'Tybalt' in The Princess Bride. (I mean the book not the movie.)
Wow. I really liked that! The ending was brilliant! My favorite part was from "We'd like to tell you about Sir Oscar O'Reilly's greatest accomplishment to date," to "Cassie decided Charms wasn't nearly as boring as she'd previously believed." Wonderfully well-written and funny! {BeccA}
Author's Response: Thanks very much! The ending was a lot of fun to write -- I'm glad you enjoyed it, too! :)
No one stole from Scorpius Malfoy unless he allowed it.
*A Scorpius/Rose Halloween story*
Very very interesting story; I loved it! And good stories always help me, because four of my stories (one MWPP era, one Next-Gen, one D/A, and one poem) have been rejected (sobs) and so I need all the help can get! So, on to the review:
Haha I liked it! I guess Scorpius's reasons for helping Rose is that he likes her?????? Just a hunch... haa it was really good! Now I have to go study for a math test, in the course I am currently failing... yay... big time... Okay, so i give this 5 stars! {BeccA}
Author's Response:
Scorpius wanted to ensure his House would win, :D, but he is aware of Rose now in a way he wasn't before!
I'm happy you liked the story and sad you're having trouble getting approved. Have you tried to find a perfect imagination beta? The link is on the Navigation menu to the L of the screen. It might make all the difference!
‘Thou shalt not sin’ – Bible
Yeah, right.
Sirius knows what he wants and he’s not afraid to chase it. She makes him feel more than he’s ever felt before, but getting what he wants may cause him more heartache than he ever imagined. Thus begins a thrilling game, a game of vice and virtue, of betrayal and affection, of sin and atonement.
The forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest.
GAH! Lydia! Only you could write a chapter that made me feel so happy and mad at the same time. Happy that Caris and Sirius are back together, and mad that you ended it there! Argh. I do like the ending, though, and I think it fits the story perfectly. I certainly hope to read more from you, because you have a rare talent. It's rare that I read something as wonderfully created and thought through as this. {BeccA}
Author's Response: Lol, thanks becca, you're a sweetie. I'm glad you enjoyed the story, and I hope you keep an eye out... I have this odd feeling that something is coming soon (other than the 'it's coming' that the mods have promised).
Wow, Lydia... That was amazing. I love the emotions that Sirius and Caris portrayed at the end, Sirius's hatred of April and Caris's feelings of betrayal towards Sirius. You have such an amazing writing style, I won't be surprised one day if anyone reads your original works in print. {BeccA}
Author's Response: Aw, thanks Becca! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This is really, really good! I liked chapter two, because the tension really starts, and you can't really tell where it's going with Sirius and Caris (who is really cool!) So, I'm assuming that there will be seven chapters, after the seven deadly sins, but what exactly are the seven deadly sins? I've only heard of Greed before I read this, and now I just know Greed and Gluttony... I'm so confused! Sorry... Anyway, it's really good! I hope chapter 3's up fast. {BeccA}
Author's Response: Thanks for your praise, and I'm very glad you like it so far. And I agree with you: Caris is very cool :D The seven deadly sins are Gluttony, Greed, Pride, Wrath, Sloth, Lust and Envy, though my chapters aren't in that order. I won't say what order they are in, as that would spoil the surprise :) And chapter three is with my lovely beta, so hopefully it will be up very soon.
Lydiaaaa! You can't just end a chapter likethat! I'm dying over here. Anyway, all that aside, this was a really great chapter. I loved the emotions portrayed, and Caris and her never-backing-down-from-a-dare thing reminds me of myself ;) . Is there going to be another chapter? Because if there's one chapter for each of the seven deadly sins, and then this is chapter seven, then this would mean it was over. So I hope that's not how it is. Great job, as usual, and if there's another chapter than I am eagerly looking forward to it. {BeccA}
Author's Response: Oh but I can, because I'm evil :D I'm glad you like it, and now only the epilogue remains.
Well then! This certainly was interesting! I can't believe that anyone, een the great Schmergo, can pack that much entertainment and comedy into a not-even-10000-word story! It was amazing. Tyrone was hilarious, and I loved his potions-class antics.And Haley and Sinclair were very funny, too. And about Tyrone and the candy canes: in four houses, in seven years per house, shouldn't there be a lot more than 140 girls to give candy canes to?
And when Tyrone started speaking in Spanish, I almost died. I hate Spanish, but somehow if I just imagine Tyrone speaking it during class, maybe I can get through it! Really good story though! (in your response to one of my reviews to The Past, u mentioned u thought i would like this. u were right, i did) {BeccA}
Author's Response: Beccca, Becca, Becca! I love getting reviews from you! I'm glad you thought it was hilarious... I am less happy about the math, though. My math is terrible. I multiplied five times four (five girls per House) and got twenty, and then I multiplied twenty by seven and got 140, but that is probably wrong. I did it in my head. There is a reason why I write fanfiction during math class-- I have no head for math at all!
I'm glad that someone who actually takes Spanish could understand my pidgeon Spanish at all. I speak NO Spanish at all, only German and English, so it was totally botched. Thank you again so much for (my first!!!) review!
That was really good! I love the original song, and this was really good and fit the melody well. {BeccA}
Ooh. Dark. I really enjoyed Alone, and this is starting out wonderfully! Is Nell going to be in this story at all? And I wonder what will happen when Remus and Sirius find Snape. *softly in singsong voice* someone is in trouble. Anyway, great job! I hope it's updated quickly! {BeccA}
Author's Response: I'm so happy to see that the first review is by someone who read Alone! Thank you for being such an awesome reader :) Nell's time in this story is up. This one is Sirius in the spotlight. I have an awesome plan for IF *coughwhencough* Remus and Sirius find Snape and I hope you enjoy the way I do it. It should not take too long to update, it is a short story and I have everything already figured out. Thanks for reading and thank you for reviewing! Keep reading :)
