I've loved hp since I was about 10, and I've loved writing since about that time too. I've got a lot of ideas for new fanfics, the only problem is actually getting the time to put them on paper. Or screen. Or both. XD
I'm really happy with how "a mourning to remember" turned out. It was my first fanfic, and now I'm addicted. As is life. :D
At the moment I am working on some other fics, (Ron/Hermione, and other types too) but they definitely are still works-in-progress, for sure.

First Date Disaster by Equinox Chick
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Lily Evans wasn't quite sure why she agreed to go on a date with James Potter. It had surprised them both when she'd said 'yes'. But James hadn't stopped grinning and she was happy too ... until the owl turned up at breakfast.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. Her lawyers agree.
Thank you so much to Natalie (hestiajones) for beta'ing this tale for me. Sorry the IES didn't make an appearance. This fic is compliant with Veils.

Author's Response: Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sirius is naughty. ~Carole~
The Seven Potters by Gmariam
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Harry is about to leave the Burrow for the final time when his six doppelgangers give him something to think about. Set during book seven and based on the chapter of the same name, but having little to do with it, really.
Winner, Quicksilver Quill award for Best Humour story.
Date: 08/09/10 Title: Chapter 1: The Seven Potters
nice, i really enjoyed that. at first i was kind of confused as to why there was 6 different versions of harry instead of 6 different imposters, but it all made sense in the end. very clever fic indeed, i laughed at the part "stay in canon, stay in canon" that was great. all in all, very well done!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! I'm glad it all worked itself out at the end. I was worried it might seem a bit odd, lol. I'm glad you enjoyed it, I really appreciate such a lovely first review! ~Gina :)
Taking Direction by WeasleyMom
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: What if the characters in the Harry Potter films were portrayed—not by actors—but by the book versions of themselves, as created by Rowling? How might things unfold on that set? What would the characters think of the changes made from the stories they’d already lived out… to the ones written for the script?
This fic is a series of one-shots, posted as chapters, each from the perspective of a different character who is dealing with the changes occurring between the book and the script.
Â
Holy Movie Canon, Batman! This fic won the 2011 Quicksilver Quill Award for Best Chaptered Humor Story. Thanks so, so much!

Date: 09/05/10 Title: Chapter 1: Jazz Hands
this is very interesting because it shows how the book versions collide with script versions, and really, how the books collide with the movies. good job!
Author's Response: Thanks! I have more chapters planned, but they are not quite ready yet. :)
Swimming Lessons by WeasleyMom
Rated: 3rd-5th Years • Summary: Six weeks after the battle, Hermione puts on a bathing suit for the first time in nearly a year... scars are revealed as painful memories rise to the surface yet again.
I almost submitted this under dark/angst, but at the end of the day, I see it as Ron/Hermione. *shrug* Also, a gazillion thanks to my awesometastic beta Natalie, and to both Neil and Carole for helping me with all things British. :D I'm thrilled to announce that this story was nominated for a 2011 Quicksilver Quill in the category Best Canon Romance. YAY!
Date: 09/05/10 Title: Chapter 1: one-shot
oh, i loved that! it was heartbreaking at first, but later, it was so tender and sweet and raw (much like ron and hermiones' relationship.) i really do love your writing, weasely mom. you really seem to have a talent for writing about ron/hermione. keep going!
Author's Response: Oh, what a nice thing to say. I am truly trying to branch out a bit with other characters, but I always come back to R/Hr in the end. They are the ones my brain sort of defaults to, if that makes sense. Thanks again for the lovely review. :)
Shrouds by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Not all Voldemort’s victims were on the side of right.
Over a year has passed since the Battle of Hogwarts. Families grieve, but their dead are remembered with honour.
For Draco Malfoy it has been a year of nothing. Merely existing, he is bound tightly to his past as if enveloped in a shroud, unwilling to accept help. It takes a chance encounter on a cobbled street to jerk him into the realisation that he cannot go on like this. A chance encounter with the one person who has most cause to hate him.
But shrouds, however tightly bound, unravel.
A huge thank you to Natalie (hestiajones) who put her laminated canon card in jeopardy by beta'ing this fic and being very supportive all the way through.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. Her lawyers agree, so please don't mistake us. I just like taking the odd liberty (ahem) with her characters (and pairings)
Nominated for two QSQ's in Best Non-Canon Romance and also Best Post Hogwarts story for 2011. Thank you.
Date: 01/14/11 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 - My Talisman
dang! i wasnt expecting it to end like that, with ron and hermione getting back together again. i have to admit that i was really happy about it, me being the avid ron/hermione shipper that i am. with most of the dramione-type fics it ends with them just being together forever and all that jazz. but like i said before, you made hermione's relationship with draco that much more realistic and relatable. once again, great job and im very glad u finished it. so happy ron and hermione are back together again! squee! good stuff. :D
Author's Response: Thank you very much. I have a problem with Dramione, in general, because it tends to either ignore or demonise Ron. Plus it also ignores Hermione's friendship with Harry and how that would be broken if she took up with Draco, so I wanted this to be plausible and within the confines of canon. I'm glad you liked the ending. I do actually like Ron very much, but am not convinced him and Hermione would have had a perfect relationship (does anyone?) so I wanted to explore that as well. Thanks again ~Carole~
Date: 09/25/10 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Blood and Glass
this story is intruiging. you really got into what draco is feeling, the tortured man that he is. usually, im not a advocate for draco/hermione fics, (im not going to lie) but your story makes that pairing much more realistic. i also thought you did a excellet job of capturing what hermione felt when she encountered malfoy manor again. i really enjoyed reading this, and i hope you add more on to it. :)
Author's Response: Thank you. I'll let you in on a secret, I'm not really an advocate of non canon pairings either, but I did want to see if I could make one feasible. The fact that you find this plausible means a lot to me. I will be adding to this because I've actually finished the story. There are 6 chapters in total. Thanks again ~Carole~
Letters from the Tent by WeasleyMom
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: A distraught Hermione takes quill to parchment.
Date: 10/23/10 Title: Chapter 1: The Letters
you did do it again, i loved it. in response to some peoples comments that hermione is acting "out of character" i do believe that hermione does seem to act a bit differently than she usually does, but let's see, nearly getting killed more times than you can count, running from only god knows what, and getting your heart dashed into a million tiny pieces would make anyone a little upset and just a smidge irrational. :) shes pissed at first, (anyone would be) but then she sees him again, and those feelings get pushed by the wayside because she truly cares about ron. nice job. :D
Author's Response: Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked this. You know, I've been thinking about this whole OOC thing... several times folks have said she was OOC and then agreed that these are intense circumstances, so who knows? I guess maybe it comes down to semantics, and I just wouldn't call it OOC. Because in my life, when I am pressed to the breaking point, I might act out in ways that would surprise those who know me best. And here, Hermione has really been pressed, and she's not talking about it to anyone, and this is the kind of emotional turmoil and inner dialogue that could really happen. (Well, if she were real, of course... hehe.) Anyway. Just thinking out loud, I guess. Thanks again for reading and reviewing--I appreciate it so much!
I Wouldn't Change A Thing by The_Real_Hermione
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Brothers were strange creatures.
For as long as Lily can remember, there has been a gap between her and James which she never felt with Albus. When Lily is kidnapped, will James prove her wrong?
A story about the discovery of what family really means.
Date: 11/26/10 Title: Chapter 1: If You Disappear
great job! it did remind me of ootp, and i loved the gap, both age wise and other wise, between lily and james. i thought you captured his and albus's characters quite well, along with everyone else. i hope you keep writing more next generation stuff, i enjoyed it a lot. keep writing! :D
Author's Response: Thanks for the review!! I'm glad you liked it so much. Yes, it was a lot like OotP - partially that's my lack of creavity, and partially because it creates and interesting parallel between them and their parents. I'm glad you liked how I wrote the gap between Lily and James and my characterisations. Thanks so much for reviewing, it makes my day :).
Barely There by ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Dean Thomas felt like his soul had been ripped out when he survived the Battle of Hogwarts and his best friend did not. Grief-stricken, his brain simply couldn't wrap around what meant anything to him anymore, but the unlikeliest of heroines pulled him from the brink and maybe saved herself along the way.
Date: 11/06/10 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
i think it is unusual, but in a good way. :) nice job, and keep writing!
Author's Response:
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Have a nice night.

The Story of Ron and Hermione by WeasleyFamilyLove
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: A look at moments of Ron and Hermione's life through the years. The narrative alternates between their two POV.
For those of us that wonder what Ron and Hermione's life would be like through the years.
Date: 11/15/10 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter One: The Early Years
aww, i loved this fanfic. it was tender in all the right places, and gives u that warm fuzzy feeling at the end. i cant wait to read the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you! Hearing that the story gave you a warm fuzzy feeling made my day!
Excruciatingly Painful by xxbabewithbrainsxx
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, five men deal with remorse, yet in completely different ways. It affects the soul, mentality and even the body. This poem explores the way these five men cope with wrong actions and the guilt that follows it.
By the way, I'm not J K Rowling. I doubt you're surprised. All reviews receive a response!
Date: 11/06/10 Title: Chapter 1: Remorse
i loved this poem! i think you really captured the feelings and internal stuggles that each of these guys went through. i also liked how the definition of remorse changed as the point of view changed. the internal rhyming, (or at least i think it was that) worked very well. good job, and keep writing! :)
Author's Response: Thanks! You're right, the guys - Harry, Ron, Remus, Peter and Tom - all had internal struggles while they felt remorse. And, of course, like a lot of words in the English dictionary, remorse has multiple meanings, and I'm glad you picked that up in my poem. I'm glad you think the rhyming worked, I was pretty worried about that, so I'm relieved that you thought it worked. Thank you for your review.

Apathy by inspirations
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
This is what happened to the side who lost.
Date: 11/06/10 Title: Chapter 1: Apathy
wow, that was intense. incredibly sad, of course, but the imagery was beautiful. its very interesting to read about what could have happened if voldy won. all i can say is, after reading this, thank god jk had the right side win in the end. :)
Author's Response: LOL, thanks so much :) xx
Hannah's Hero by kalae_zoe
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Neville Longbottom went looking for air, wondering why everyone was calling him a hero. What came looking for him convinced him that maybe he was a hero after all.
Neville/Hannah
Takes place after the Battle of Hogwarts in DH, but before the Epilogue.
Date: 11/20/10 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
aww, i loved this! i always kind of wondered what had happened to neville after the battle. u really captured his character, how he would have reacted to all of the attention that he was suddenly receiving. also, in a short amount of time, u also captured the essence of hannah and nevilles relationship, which was very sweet and unfulfilled. (at least until now.) good job, and i hope u keep writing. :D
Author's Response: Thanks for the sweet review. I'm glad to hear you liked it. I always felt that Neville and Hannah's relationship started off as friends first and then grew into something more over the span of that horrible year at Hogwarts. I will keep writing. Don't you worry :)
The Journey to Hogwarts by Hiya24
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: An light-hearted almost-epic about a student's first year at Hogwarts, and the mixed emotions he goes through.
Date: 11/24/10 Title: Chapter 1: The Journey to Hogwarts
i really liked this, the rhyming is what made it, and though the syntax and word choice you used in this story, it makes it easy for anyone to relate to. this story could be about anyone, (except maybe the "catching the eyes of pretty witches part", but you never know, some girls might be like that.) good job, and keep writing! :D
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, and I definitely will try to keep writing! :)

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: September first was not a day Hermione was looking forward to. As she boards the train, she
must say goodbye to those she loves.
Date: 01/31/11 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
aww, i really like this one! i love me some ron/hermione fanfics. ;) it was so sweet, and not ooc with anyone, it was lovely. i hope you add more to it, i'd love to read more. :D
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm very glad you liked it.
Mere Wisps of Light by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: It is Christmas Eve 1998, and the Magical World is shakily celebrating the first Christmas since Voldemort’s defeat.
For one, though, there is no reason to celebrate. Draco Malfoy sits alone in his room refusing to join his parents as they try to regain their social standing.
He does not want to see another Christmas, but he reckons without a redoubtable figure from his past.
My name is Equinox Chick from Hufflepuff, and this story has been written for prompt four of the Great Hall Christmas Challenge over at the MNFF Beta Boards.
Thank you to Natalie for a quick beta job on this – anything to get her away from Rabelais, I guess.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. Her lawyers agree, so please don’t confuse us.
Date: 12/04/10 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue - Shining Angels
very nice, i loved seeing this newfound depth that you have added to draco's character. the christmas carol theme is cool too, put's you in the holiday mood. you really seemed to capture the essence of who draco his, the way he thinks, the things he does...good job! :D
Author's Response: Thank you. I've only just become interested in Draco and the possibilities of his redemption. I don't think he became a saint, but there was some good in him. Glad you're enjoying the story. ~Carole~

One Second Can Be A Lifetime by charlottetrips
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Imprisoned, alone, about to lose his life. Some would say that there love was never meant to be. But Draco would disagree.
The companion piece to "The Longest Walk of Her Life."
Date: 12/21/10 Title: Chapter 1: Draco's Soliloquy
LOVED IT!! i must admit, im not a big dramione person, but i thought that this story was told in a particularly realistic way. (in terms of how draco and hermione got together that is.) i wish there was more to it though. :(
you really got into dracos head, and you personified him beautifully by what he says and what he does. gold star for you! good job, and keep writing. :)
Author's Response: T H A N K Y O U ! ! ! The story's not done yet madam! :)
Tears In Heaven by The_Real_Hermione
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Three years after the Battle, the Weasley family is once again shattered by grief.
A songfic, based on Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton.
Date: 01/05/11 Title: Chapter 1: Tears in Heaven
oh, that almost made me cry, and not a lot of fics do that. (especially when ron was holding jean for the first time, and of course, when she passed away.) i remember learning about SIDS in my child development class, but somehow it hits closer to home when you see it to happen to someone you know. (even though hermione isnt someone i dont personally know, yada yada yada.) you get what i mean though? the way you added to hermione's character, with dialouge and otherwise, was spot on. it was quite sad, but very beautiful at the same time. i loved it. :D
Author's Response: Wow!! Thanks for all the praise. I'm really pleased that you thought the way I added to Hermione's character was spot on, and especially that you liked the scene when Ron first held Jean, as I sometimes have issues writing Ron. I've never known anyone whose had anything to do with SIDS either, but I think it's just such a terribly sad thing to happen to people and I was really inspired by this song to write it.
So anyway... I don't know if I've ever had such a glowing review, you've really made my day!! Thanks.
Chances by ron lover
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Lauren and Robert had a plan if something happened to Hogwarts while they were still students. It was a simple plan, easy to follow, but Lauren couldn't go through with it. Even though it would mean she could get herself killed.
I am ron lover of Gryffindor and this is my final for the Missing Moments class on the MNFF Beta Boards.
Date: 01/05/11 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
i liked this a lot, and i also liked what someone said before, (the fact that these characters really slip into the world we already know.) question: when robert is saying goodbye to his parents to go back to hogwarts, do they try to keep him from leaving because they know whats going on there now? or are they still half asleep and what he says doesnt really sink in for them until hes gone? just curious. :D
anyway, i hope u add on to this, id love to see what happens next. :)
Author's Response: I am pretty sure that you questions will be answered in the next chapter, so it would be unwise of me to tell you now! I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up, but hopefully within a few weeks! Thank you for reading and reviewing!
