I am an older person (ok, so maybe 21 isn't TOO old, but I feel rather old when it comes to these fanfic sites and all of the amazing younger people who write such fantastic stories) who is hoping one day to become a writer. Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and anything along the lines of these books (like The Bartimaeus Trilogy or Eragon) are the books that have inspired me so much that I have decided writing is what I want to do, and I have tested the writing waters by writing my first ever fanfic, The Vision of Light.
What else about me? Besides obsessed with great books? *teeheehee* I like to snowboard, paint, volunteer with animal help organizations, write (um, yeah, obviously), read, watch movies and generally learn constantly. I am taking a year off school this year just to go to Egypt for ten days *YAY!*. Thats pretty much me in a nutshell! ^_^
Hey! I like what you have so far! Just one little mistake I noticed, and that was that you spelled Ron's last name wrong in the letter...but i still loved it and am very interested to see where you will take this! Ruby Red earrings? I wonder...
Author's Response: Haha ohmigosh i cant believe i spelt wesley wrong. Well thanks for the review and i will be adding again soon and i promise you that theyre will be some twists!!
Author's Response: lol i did it again!!!!! WEASLEY!!!!!! there haha
hey Mellowdrama! Thought I would say hello and let you know that I read your first chapter! Very very good stuff here, you DO have a knack for writing and if this is any example of what your own story will be like, I encourage you all the more to keep on with it! I love this, and it flows amazingly. Poor Harry! It made me laught the entire time! ^_^
Author's Response: Hi Goddess! Thank you so much for reading, and for the sincere compliment! I do enjoy making Harry blush, the poor dear, but I promise not to leave any lasting scars. :-) Chapter 3 is coming soon (if my internet connection ever comes back up at home... grrr)! There will be 5 chapters in all.
hehe...it all makes sense now! Good job, I really enjoyed this one! It IS fun looking in characters' heads in ways we never expected to!
Author's Response: I know! Oh, and since he's really bummed that my story is getting way more reads than his is and his has been up much longer, I'll advertise here for my friend x2pttrclue32 's story.....
A Day in the Life of Cornelius Fudge
Read it, it's good!
Very very bright idea, and I am interested in where it is going! Well written! I think the other reviews about it having the honest potential for a humor fic have a valid point, and I don't think that for any reason you should be offended by it...it's just something that could make the sotry just as interesting. So that being said, try to take others suggestions or comments more lightly, because it really is a good story, and as an author, be open to what your readers have to say! Good job!
Author's Response: Okay, fine......it's just that x2pttrclue32 is a really good friend of mine......I guess it IS kind of funny, isn't it? Thanx for all the compliments, I'm blushing! It's fun exploring characters we don't know much about or have no idea about certain aspects of their life.
Great last couple of chapters, here...I haven't gotten time to read this story since friday, but I am glad I finally got to sit down and read it. It's an excellent story, full of diction that fits your plot and the energy that naturally comes from Christmas events...love it. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you! I have a feeling that you're going to like the chapters I post on 13th-16th December...
Another fantastic chapter. I love Arthur Weasley because he is such a humorously inquisitive character, and you have portrayed him PERFECTLY. This had me grinning the entire time I read it. Bravo! I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Mr Weasley was great fun to write, and I had a whale of a time coming up with the lyrics for the Santa Claus doll. :D
Absolutely brilliant idea. I am very taken aback by your individual creativeness and I can tell, as the other review said, that I am going to love this story. Who doesn't love Christmas?! ^_^
Another wonderful chapter. I must say, you are truly capturing the magical anticipation of Christmas in each Chapter. I love how waiting for another chapter is just like waiting for the oncoming of the big day...DECEMBER 25TH! Fantastic. You have no idea how much I am enjoying this! First story added to my favorites list! Keep up the great work! ^_^
Author's Response: Thanks for the great reviews, Goddess! Yes, I wanted this story to be a kind of literary advent calendar -- something to open every day, and each chapter a little part of a puzzle that will make complete sense by Christmas Day.
