I am in college, American, and in love with God. I enjoy reading, writing, music (playing, singing, listening), my friends and family.
I am a compulsive editor. This means that while new chapters may come infrequently (translation: I write slowly), the older chapters are always under revision. Check back now and again to read the new and improved versions! Also, I've been working on Britishisms, but as an American, my knowledge is limited. Please, feel free to (gently) Britpick.
I also write a lot of drabbles, which you can find by following that link to my website, along with some poetry and original fiction.

At The Ceili: This is a Christmas gift for Cinderella Angelina, a beloved fellow SPEW member. The title comes from the song it is based on, performed by the very excellent group Celtic Woman. Enjoy, Leslie!
Gold: This was originally the third chapter of In His Own Right, but I felt that it really didn’t fit with the others, so now it is a sequel.
Hide and Seek: This slightly lengthy one-shot deals with the choice between good and evil. It’s under Romance only because it didn’t fit in any of the General categories.
Home To Stay: Based on and set around a song by Josh Groban (same title), Hermione goes travelling Europe, trying to find what she’s lost during the War. Ron waits for her, living for the short notes that she sends to Ginny, waiting for the day when Hermione will be ready to come home for good.
In His Own Right: It was after writing my SPEW 007 challenge (seven prompts, one character) that I really came to appreciate Neville. He’s been through a lot, but he is strong and capable—he just needs a chance to show it. (It has a sequel in Gold.)
Left, Right, and Centre: This began as an attempt to understand why the relationship between Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour seems to work, though no one else understands why. The reason? Fleur isn’t the idiot everyone thinks she is.
Love Is Not a Simple Thing: For now, this is a one-shot (its continuation is unlikely, and depends on the revival of a long-dormant plot bunny). It is a Remus/Hermione romance, but features no time travel. Instead, the setup comes during Hermione’s school years. Following chapters (if they appear) will follow their growing relationship during the war and post-war years.
So She Dances: One of my personal favourites. It's based on the Josh Groban song of the same name, and is a Neville/Ginny missing moment from GoF. It was the first atmosphere-based piece I wrote, and it came out quite nicely.
The Unknown: Also Neville-based, I consider this the best thing I have yet written. It's a little darker, but very real, with hope at its end.
Transformations: This is a Remus/Tonks, my first—and most ambitious—project. It began back in August 2005 and has been heavily rewritten and edited in preparation for the long-awaited finish. It will be around 11 or 12 chapters when finished
Waiting: This is a post-HBP one-shot, now AU. It was written for the S.P.E.W. Anniversary Challenge: Friends discussing changes since the one-year anniversary of an event (in this case, the death of Dumbledore).

Molly & Arthur - The Beginning by GringottsVault711
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: It's Molly Prewett's fifth year - and her and the lovable-but-odd Arthur Weasley have been made Gryffindor Prefects. Molly begins to wonder if there's more to the way Arthur feels about her than she's ever realized.

I like this a lot. Sounds a lot some of the R/Hr stories I've seen lately. Not too farfetched to think their stories similar though.
Date: 06/11/05 Title: None
Eeeeep! That was really really good! I'll bet that was Harry... never mind that, when's the next chapter coming??

This is really interesting. Where's the rest? *hint hint!*
Wish Upon a Star by snapesluver
Rated: •Summary: Hermione has lost the most important people in her life because of the war. She makes a wish and a certain Potions master is the only one who can grant it. This fic is about a student/teacher relationship. If this bothers you, don't read.
Date: 06/10/05 Title: Chapter 4: Sleeping Angel
This is good! Next chapter coming soon, right? *big puppy eyes*
Through the Fire by Croyez
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It all starts out with a meeting. Little do Harry and Hermione know what problems and dilemmas will surface along with their secret relationship. Hearts are shattered, prophecies are spoken, disappearances occur, dark plans are schemed, and discoveries beyond their understanding are made. Can their relationship withstand the perils it is subject to? Will their fate and worries stand in the way of true love? They can only hope not…
He didn’t notice it when his hand began loosening its grip on the edge. He didn’t notice it until he began to fall to the ground, but as soon as he did, he pointed his wand at Voldemort. He felt seventeen years of suffering, seventeen years of mystery and trials…he felt hatred like he had never experienced before, pouring out of him. He felt every single thing that had happened to him on Voldemort’s account, rising to the surface, almost drowning him in a mix of emotions.
And then, he yelled, with all his might, “Avada Kedavra!”
He wished for it all to end…for it to be over…
The Last Chapter (Twenty) is up on [July/12] Thank you so much, Stephanie!
H/Hr, and Book 1-5!Hermione! will only sink when there are none loyal to them. So there.
Date: 06/27/05 Title: Chapter 5: Villains Arise
This is interesting. Caitlyn pointed out that Trelawny is a bit different -- I thought her letter was much more coherent than I'd expect from her normally! -- but you've done an excellent job at keeping them in-character. I don't know if I'd consider Ron a candidate for murder or suicide, but then I never figured he'd lose Hermione :-P. Going to read the rest now!
Never Forgotten by Ladidah
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A six-year old Ginny meets a seven-year old Draco in the Ministry of Magic while waiting for her father. An innocent friendship forms, and they remain playmates throughout their childhood—unbeknownst to their families. However, moving on to Hogwarts splits them, because they each have their own images and families to support—but they will never forget their childhood memories. Details what really happens behind the scenes between Draco and Ginny during the first five years at Hogwarts. Pairings: Draco/Ginny, Other Pairings: …dunno yet…

This is good. Keep it up!
Oblivious by Pallas
Rated: •Summary: What if there were more to Remus Lupin's bite than a badly timed stroll in the woods? The arrival of a feral invokes secrets of the past and terror for the present...
Date: 09/11/05 Title: Chapter 42: Full Circle
Oh my gosh...I started with In From the Cold and followed the links here and sat down and read all 42 chapters without stopping. Brilliant. Please keep writing, I love your stuff!

I loved it! You were really good with depicting all the characters the way they "really" are. Keep writing!
Chasing A Dream by Noldo
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: They looked back and had no regrets, because it was for Remus. A vignette.
Date: 12/10/05 Title: Chapter 1: Chasing A Dream
Wow. I love this. You’ve captured the dynamic between them so well.
Sirius said it, when he risked life and limb – and detention – hiding behind bushes and jumping nervously at the darting shadows, just to find out how to get into the tunnel beneath the Whomping Willow. I love the humor there.
Characterization is excellent. You gave Sirius his moments in the wind: It gave him a feeling of power, of hope, and of indefinable, all-pervading peace. And there he remembered that it was for Remus, all of it, and went about his work with a little more vigour, a little more happiness. You gave Peter the frustration of not being very good, but wanting so badly to accomplish this. And James can be hardworking when he wants to. Very very nice.
~My Eternal Love~ by mrs_depp
Rated: •Summary: A rather dark SS/HG ff that will only be two chapters ... The first chapter isn't that bad, but then the second one will be worse ... set in the gang's seventh year, post-Last Battle. My first fic on here, please review, even if you don't like it ... I like getting criticisms ...
Date: 06/09/05 Title: Chapter 2: A fateful ten seconds
Um....that was...odd? A little more character development might help. Snape's "You don't love me?" was kind of weird, coming out of the blue like that.
Hopes, Lies, and Discoveries by JoWannabe
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Begins at King's Cross and continues at the Burrow the summer after 5th year. Ron confronts Hermione about Viktor Krum and learns a few things. A little fluff, a little angst, a little Fred and George...
Date: 06/09/05 Title: Chapter 1: A Surprising Goodbye
I loved this one too! Please, please don't stop writing!
Date: 10/30/05 Title: None
That's great. I really like that you didn't use one of those Harry-Hermione-Ron triangles where everyone ends up angry and Ron punches Harry and Hermione hexes Ron and so on. I also like your descriptions, very vivid.

I really like this! We gonna get an update soon?
Reversal by Fain Oakenbringer
Rated: •Summary: After unwittingly consuming a potion, Harry and Draco switch personalities. And though he's horrified at his niceness initially, Draco's starting to have a very warm, fuzzy feeling for a certain Mudblood...

This is different. Interesting -- keep it going!

That was FANTASTIC! I'm not normally a D/Hr shipper but you've very nearly converted me -- that was really really good. I hope you're still writing other things!

Something Old, Something New by hpgurl2121

In this chapter, Ron considers spending the holidays with another old friend, but he has always wanted it to be more than that.

I liked it. Pretty good keeping them in character.
