*As of 2020 I've moved Snowflakes over to AO3!
And on the off chance that anyone is reading this bio- I'm writing a sequel to Snowflakes over on AO3 as well :)

Hello everyone! My name is Dylan and I am 16 years old. And for the record... I am a girl. Some people get confused... Dylan is usually a boy's name... Anyway. Some things about me:
- I have read Harry Potter more times than I can count
- I went to the midnight release of the 6th movie and to both parts of 7
- I love musicals, but suck at singing
- My friends and I make movies... a lot
- I have a pet bunny
- I am going to be a junior
- I am obsessed with Tiny Wings
- I love my HP soundtracks
- There is a picture of a door on my door
- I watch The Office, 30 Rock, Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother, Arrested Development, Community, Parks and Rec, Gossip Girl, The Newsroom, and Doctor Who
- I always dress up as a Gryffindor for Halloween
- I'm sorta addicted to youtube
- The Vlogbrothers are my heroes
- My favorite band is Fountains of Wayne
- I love British Television like The Inbetweeners, Sherlock, and The Office (UK)
- Currently, my favorite non HP movie is V For Vendetta
- I'm very interested in films and I want to be a film major in college
- I write mostly James/Lily, but I want to try some other genres
I am completely obsessed with Harry Potter.
Right now, I am working on two chaptered fics-
Snowflakes:
Lily and her muggle friends go to a ski resort over summer holiday and James turns up with Sirius Black. They have some good fun and run from some Death Eaters and get up to shenanigans ;)
The Marauder's Map to a Gryffindor's Heart:
I started this a while ago, so it really isn't the best piece of writing... but I do like the story, so I will probably continue. Ten chapters have been written (from about three years ago) so I hope to edit them and hopefully get them on this site! This one basically follows the Marauders through their years at school. Don't expect much character development, since I wrote this when I was about twelve. At least until I get past the first ten chapters :P
Then there's a one-shot!
The Sorting Hat Put Me in Slytherin:
This one shows what might have happened if Harry had become friends with Malfoy... *shutters* It has a lot more to do with Harry's character and all that deep stuff. Enjoy :D
Plot bunnies:
1. A second Generation story about Lily Luna Potter's Hogwarts experience and her unexpected friend, Scorpius Malfoy.
2. A tale about Dobby's life
3. A fic about Merope Gaunt and how she fell in love with Tom Riddle
4. A story about Seamus' mother and how she grew up in a muggle home as an adopted servant girl and after going to Hogwarts, falls in love with a Muggle
I always love getting reviews! (but then again, don't we all?) Well, I think that's all I have to say!
Cheers :]

wow! this is really good! i think you did a great job with snapes character and it seams pretty believable. i cant wait for part two!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you think so :)
So, Neville's dead, his parents are alive, and the Potters aren't in the picture yet? Interesting idea... I've actually written a one-shot where Harry is in Slytherin, myself. I'm curious to see how you pull this off. Also, you may want to look back at your second to last paragraph- the commas are kind of over done and its a bit of a run-on sentence. And one more nit-pick: your dialogue is a bit formal. For instance, try "can't" instead of "cannot" to make it a bit more believable. Good luck with this story!
Author's Response: Yep, Neville is indeed dead and his parent's are alive =]
But see, just wait till the next chapterand it will be a tad more explained..
I know that the story is about Harry being put into Slytherin but I felt like I had to add these first to chapters in =]
And thanks.. I will try and sort that a litte
Thanks for reading and reviewing though

That was really good! I think Hugo's was my favorite. You did an excellent job with all the different characters and all of their personalities. I hope you do more of these! I would love to see some other characters! Anyway, I absolutely loved this!
Author's Response: Thanks! Hugo's was probably one of my favorites to write, so I'm glad you liked it! :)
This was really funny! I left you some questions on your Dueling Club forum btw! "I'm still a badass mofo." lol. I laughed pretty hard at that for a good 5 minutes. Keep writing, update soon!
Wow. That was brilliant. SO well done. I LOVEDIT!
Author's Response: Thank you!
Wow! That was great! I really like these little "character studies" as you call them. They're witty and emotional and wonderfully written. I really like Harry's part. I thought it was really in in character and perfect for him. Can't wait for the next one!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! "Character study" might not be the right term, but I can't think of anything better -- and it's starting to grow on me ;) I'm glad you liked this and enjoyed Harry's part; his was actually the one I had the most trouble writing, as odd as that might be.
Hello! I really like this story so far! Sirius is great, James and Lily are cute together, and it all seems so lovely! It's interesting to see what things might have been like if Harry still had his parents. I know the letter at the end pretty much sums up that Harry was in Gryffindor, but what about Ron? What about Neville? I'm assuming the Longbottoms would be a complete family, so has Neville changed at all? I'm excited to read about Draco and I'm anxiously awaiting the next chapter! Keep writing!!
Author's Response: Oh my gosh! You don't even know how cool I think it is that you read my story and wrote a review! Like really, and I'm not just being cheesy! You're, like, one of my favorite authors on MuggleNet FanFiction, and I think it's really cool of you to read my story! I think it's cool of anyone to read my story, but I think everyone knows that by now. :-)
Anyway, thanks bunches! I think everyone knows by now that I'm like in love with the characters of James and Sirius, and my friends tell me I'm a little bit like Lily (mostly Ginny, though), so she was easy to write about. As for Ron, well, I can tell you write now he's not as insecure around Harry as he was in the books, because... well, Harry's not the Chosen One, or The Boy Who Lived, or anything like that. He still likes Hermione, of course, that's kind of unavoidable. And I wasn't even thinking about Neville when I started this story, so I'm glad you brought him up. You know, yeah, I guess he has a complete family and he's not as insecure and awkward as he is in the books since he never had to deal with his parents being tortured to insanity. Also, my best friend Michaela -with whom I share an account with, so you can read her story on our bio- is like, in love with Draco, so I'm definitely going to ask her to help me out with him! Thanks again for the review, and I hope you'll stick with the rest of the story because one, I'm hopelessy slow and lazy and two, it's gonna be AWESOME!
P.S. I've had WAY too much sugar today!
Wow that was really good! I loved all the description and how there was hardly any dialogue. It really worked well with the flow of the story. And it is definitely interesting to see Hermione grasping for every little bit of hope like she did at the end. I especially enjoy how you ended it sort of up in the air, like anything was possible. Thanks for writing this!
Aw, that was cute =] I really liked Remus' characterization and the way Peter is really cool and sweet. So much different than the wormtail that he is in the books. Good job, I really liked it!
Whoa. I actually had a gasp moment when I read your summery, so I just had to see what it was all about! Wow, Lily is really brave, I definitely wouldn't be able to do that! But how will she get along in Slytherin? Will she have any friends? I'm really excited to see how this story turns out!
Author's Response: Hahaha GOOD! :) It's so awesome to hear that my summary is drawing readers in. They're not always my strong point--I usually just use a quote from my story! I know, if I were Lily, I'd definitely just agree and say, "Yup, Gryffindor is fine with me!" She's definitely going to struggle this year. People in Slytherin don't necessarily like the Potters, and people in the other houses are not going to like her because *they* didn't hear her conversation with the hat, so everyone just thinks she's...well, evil. Haha I feel bad for her brothers, too, who also won't have an easy year. It should mean some pretty interesting chapters in the future, though! So excited that you're interested! Many thanks for the review.
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

September 2012: HEY guess what I couldn't wait, and the third installment, "World Enough," is UP NOW under James/Lily. Or just under my name. Or at this link: http://fanfiction.mugglenet.com/viewstory.php?sid=92131. Yay! :D
Another amazing chapter! Yikes, this cure thing sounds bad, but hopefully Lily will understand why James was being a prat! Was there a stone under her pillow as well? Please update soon :)
Author's Response: no worries, i want to be nice to them for awhile, they've been through a lot....but i will! thanks :D
Oh no! Stupid ropes :O Such a good chapter, you write the most adorable James :)
This story is so amazing :) But the Peter problems at the end made me kinda sad... If only JK Rowling didn't make him a traitor. But I love your story and I really like the way you characterize Lily- it seems really realistic and sweet :]
Ah, amazing chapter, like always! I'm really interested to see where this Flint girl's character is going! Update soon :D
Ahhh! Wonderful chapter! That fight at the end was really scary, I thought for a moment that you had killed off James, before realizing that you... technically... can't :] But this is an amazing story! Update soon!
This was really cute! Usually, you read fics where the guy likes the girl but the girl doesn't like the guy (or vise versa). It should be interesting to read about them both liking each other! Update soon, this is a rally good start and I'm excited to find out what happens next! =]
Author's Response: Chapter two is already being betaed :) thanks for the review!
That was super cute! I really like stories like this, where Lily and James are looking over Harry. You do a really good job with adding the dialogue to your story, you should write more of these! Keep it up, your writing is awesome =]
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Thanks to all this positive feedback, I have submitted a story of a similar style, Potters Go For Redheads, which will hopefully be accepted soon! It's about Lily and James watching Harry and Ginny kiss for the first time. Look out for it!

That was so lovely! It's strange, I don't think I've ever read a story where James and Lily don't get married right out of Hogwarts. I think it worked really well and was definitely believable. Great story, it was sweet and wonderful! Keep it up :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm sort of fascinated by the idea of James and Lily breaking up and getting back together later. I'm contemplating a chaptered fic about it. This was a fun way to explore that idea, and I'm glad it was believable! And I'm glad you enjoyed it - thank you so much for reading it and for the wonderful review! ~Gina :)
Wow, this is such a good idea! This one was really good and I especially like that you that the POV from one of the other family members. Keep this up, I'm definitely going to be following this one!
Author's Response: Nice to hear from you again, Dream Team. All these stories will feature a witch or wizard from Harry Potter's cohort, but they will all be narrated by some other family member. Thanks for following along.
I'M SO FREAKIN PROUD OF YOU!! This made me very happy :D Congrats!!
Author's Response: *incoherent squealing* Now let's see if I can get chapter two up..I should go find that...I dunno where it is.
