Where does the time go? It seems like only yesterday I was avidly on Mugglenet and writing so many HP fanfics that my fingers coulnd't keep up with my brain. *sigh* The times have changed, and thus, I find I'm not writing many - if any - HP fanfics any more. Aside from the long overdue Helga/Salazar story I've sadly neglected, I find mostly that I'm writing Supernatural fanfics, and am more active in that fandom than this one. Such is the way of life, I suppose. I do check in here from time to time, so if you've left me a review and I haven't replied, please don't take it as a sign that I'm ignoring you. It's just that I don't come here as much anymore. But I do appreciate and love the fact that you take the time to review my work. It makes this fangirl very happy! xD And I will make a better effort to leave a reply.
You can keep up with me at my LJ page, which I keep more up-to-date, with different fandom ramblings, fics, and artwork. If you are interested, here is the link: http://princess-schez.livejournal.com/
Ttyl!
Here are just a small fraction of actual reviews left for my fics:
A Death Eater Handbook
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe this! I just reread the last chapter of "Sweet Sacrifice" and I would have never thought that an author who writes dark stories could write something so funny!!! *envies your multi-talentedness* I can't decide which is my favourite rule... they're all so funny! I love rule #5, #7, #10, #11, #13, #16, #23, #26, #28, #30, #31 and #32 (I tried narrowing it down to my absolute favourites, I swear.) I'm getting more weirded out by the second though... I just don't get how you can go from the Professor rated SS version of Voldemort+Bellatrix and than do this . Well, however you're doing it, it's working very very well;). Unfortunately, the hillarity of this fic resulted me from being kicked out of the school library for laughing to much... No biggie though, I'm still going to your author's page to dig for more awesome fics!" ~ Lily Roxy
"Very amusing - I only wish Voldy was like this in the books! I particularly liked rule 23: "Rock, paper, scissors is not the best way to go about deciding something. Trust me. I speak from experience. Anyone remember the Godric's Hallow incident? Yes, I thought so.", and all the jabs at Bellatrix. You use his formidable and anti-social nature to superb comic effect ;o)" ~ LuckyRatTail

Adventures Through the Firewhisky Glass
"lol! I love it! it's hilarious and stuff like that. I am glad that there are some people out there with the super power of making people laugh. You are a comical genius! I look forward to reading some more of your work! ^_^" ~ MooseButter_queen
"dude it's wierd but i love it!!! i just woke everyone up laughing (it's 4:08 AM here) just had the visual of Voldemort and Dumbledore singing another Michelle Branch song keep writting you are so F'ing Hilarious i love your story" ~ alexjulygg144

Excerpts from Nagini's Diary
"I love this so much! I can't believe it's the end of it all, but in some twisted way, it somehow makes sense. I proclaim that this story is... HOHOLARIOUS. You can make a great big brass plaque and hang it on your door and write, "MY FANFICTION IS HOHOLARIOUS." That's not something that most people can boast!" ~ Schmerg_The_Impaler
"Very nice. I so needed a laugh tonight, and what do I find? You’ve added two chapters to this story that I didn’t even know about. The story is so funny from the first line—I love Nagini’s “voice”—but here’s an especial pleaser: “Also, I can't expect to travel without Mr. Snuggley-boo, my teddy. Did I just admit that?! Oh well, it's not like somebody is going to steal this diary and post it for a bunch of people to read....” The idea of Voldy’s snake with a teddy just cracks me up, and the second half of the passage…lol! It reminds me of those movies (like Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) in which one of the actors looks at the camera and shares a moment of pure irony with the audience; I can almost see Nagini doing the same. Speaking of movies, whatever made you think up Nagini, the film director?! Wherever the idea came from, I’ve got to say, we’ll all be lining up to see Voldy on the Toilet for sure! (Though I do have to say, I’m completely with Nagini concerning the idea of Peter in a Speedo. :-P )" ~ Lunafish

Furvus Cruor
"I'm not quite sure if I can picture Voldemort writing a letter to his mother, especially with all of his bitter feelings towards his family, but you wrote it well all the same. I like how you ended the chapter. It ends his childhood life and opens another door into the pathway of the evil life he chooses..... Overall however, it is a wonderful story. I wish you the best of luck for other chapters. " ~ greeneyes
"it seems soo like Tom to write a letter like that... powerful but harsh." ~ Ice_Princess

Ginny Weasley's Diary
"This is the most inspiring fic that I’ve read in a while. I read this yesterday but as I didn’t leave a review then, I thought about it all day and decided, finally, to leave one today. This is a wonderful story that you have written. The first line is so powerful and it sets off a tone to the story. It is a great starting line and it easily captures the readers’ attention. Brava! The frequent images you use of the thunder and lightning illuminating her room sets a also sets a nice feel to the story. I say ‘nice’ because it perfectly describes the emotion felt even though this is an angsty story.
A sudden loud boom of thunder snapped her from these thoughts.
I absolutely love this line, as it also snapped me from thinking of her second year. You’ve made her emotions and thoughts so clear that it’s as if we also go back and think about them. That line immediately snaps a reader back into reality – reminding them that they are just reading a story. Not many fics do that.
Dense white fog hung low to the ground, strangely reminding her of Dumbledore's long white hair.
Great imagery! Your style of writing makes the scenes so real we can see it. :)" ~ sayiansirius
(Sayiansirius also made me three banners for my fic. Aren't they just gorgeous!?)

Harry Potter and Viva Las Vegas!
"I loved it!! It was great!! The last line is priceless. Very funny :)" ~ KASK
"I loved it! The last sentence made me laugh! Good job!" ~ purplepanther

Hogwarts, A Beginning History - By Helga H.
"I enjoyed it! I think you truly captured the sweet nature of Helga Hufflepuff! (and, if I may say, the shrewd and sometimes devious nature of Salazar Slytherin). I liked the light air of the narrative..." ~ Hero London
"Well done! A great monologue. I found it very interesting and highly entertaining. You seem to be a very good writer. I wonder what the story would be like from Salazar's point of view? Probably not so upbeat and cheerful I would imagine." ~ Silverboy

In the Shadow of the Serpent
"Schez, you are awesome! So is the chapter! You kept everything at a good pace, some stories just move too slowly." ~ Dara
"wow. it really does just keep getting better and better! this is without a doubt my favorite fan fiction on mugglenet. just keep updating because i love it!"
"wow, wow, and wow. this is truly an amazing story. i love the way you incorporated hagrid in, and i love everything about this story. why are you writing fanfiction??? become a novelist!! :)"~ gryffindorgirl531
"ohmigod! This is such a good story!!"
"I've had a fabulous time reading this fic and I hope you have a lot of fun with futre fic writing!" ~ Ellie4Harry

Long Since Forgotten
"This was really good; I actually kind of feel sympathy for him. You made him seem human, which is something he's not really in the books. This way we can kind of see how he falls. I think you did an excellent job." ~ Chaser921

Sirius Black... Babysitter Extraordinaire?!
"ahahahaha!! this story is soooooooo cute! and funny! (harry sure drools a lot, doesn't he?) anyway, i loved it! sirius was really hilarious...the issue with the other story that was very (very) similar to this was...weird.(now how could that have happened?) anyway, good job!! i loved this, and i give this a two thumbs up!" ~ BertieBotts
"WOW! I'm a sucker for Sirius stories, so I read this one about 15 millon times! Keep writing!" ~ Ginny806
"this is one of the most awesome stories ive ever read! great job! even though it ended, ill just read it over...and over... and over...ive saved it to my favorites. humor is my favorite kind of fanfaiction and you are an aweosme author!!! 10/10 :P" ~ lunagirl824

Sweet Sacrifice
"I like the way you change the points of veiw. It's sooo much more intresting than the usual 3rd person. I can't wait for the next chapter!!! Update soon!!! :)" ~ Irish writter
"Yay! I love anything that's inspired by Evanescence. S.S. is one of my favourite songs, this promises to be angsty and intense...
Uggh, Voldemort is absolutely disgusting... good chapter though. " ~ Lily Roxy

Out of the Shadows
"Great chapter! I don't know whether I've ever reviewed this fic or "In the Shadow of the Serpent" before, but I've been following them for a time now. Keep writing!" ~ the_wind
"Wow! That was probably the best chapter I've ever read. Not that all the other chapters weren't BRILLIANT but this is AMAZINGLY FANTASTICALLY BRILLIANT! *takes breath* I liked the reaction Miriam had about Tom's apperance! Keep up the AMAZINGLY FANTASTICALLY BRILLIANT good work!!" ~ Ellie4Harry

The Cave by Ellie4Harry
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Amy Benson was an ordinary girl living in an orphanage, the same orphanage that housed the less-than-ordinary Tom Riddle. While at the seaside Tom takes Amy and her best friend Denis Bishop down to a cave. Something happened there, but nobody knows what...
Date: 09/24/06 Title: Chapter 1: Love and Torture
By the way, Schez, TV was invented in 1927, just not that many people had TVs.
I just checked Wiki; you're right. :-) But I'm going to hazard a guess that TV in the 1930's probably wasn't cheap by any means, lol. And like you said, not many pople had them back them. It was probably more of a luxury item for the wealthy of that era. I'm not saying it's not possible, but I doubt an orphanage in that era would have a TV - especially during war years. I don't know about England, but here in the US, radio was a popular form of home entertainment in the 30's. I kind of figured it would be the same "across the pond." :-D
Btw Ellie, please update with the next chapter soon. :-)
Author's Response: I know! Bad Ellie, Bad Ellie. I\'m 3/4s of the way through the next chapter! It\'ll be a long one, and I am so incredibly sorry for the wait! Ellie :-)
Date: 09/10/06 Title: Chapter 1: Love and Torture
Great story! I've always wondered what happened to Amy and Denis in the cave. And Tom's being a very bad boy. ;-)
There were just a few things I wanted to point out you: They didn't have TV in the 30's. That didn't come around until the 50's. :-) Maybe you could have the boys upset that they were going to miss their favorite radio program. Just a suggestion. :-) Also, I don't think they had soda cans back then. I think they had glass bottles in that era.
Other than just two small things, I really loved the story! Are you planning on adding more to it?
Author's Response: I am planning on adding more soon, yeah! As you can tell I\'m not a major in History so I\'ll have to go back and change them :-( but thanks for telling me!
Date: 10/26/07 Title: Chapter 6: Midnight Attack
Great chapter. And Tom is kind of... freaky for keeping the death notices, but he is the eeeebil Dark Lord after all. ;-) Hope the next chapter goes up sooner, too. (Also, just want to let you know that I'm going to have a third part to ITSOTS up soon in case you want to check it out.)
Author's Response: ZOHMIGOSH! There\'s going to be a THIRD part???!!! *squee* Oh that\'s just made my day :D Glad you enjoyed the chapter! :D
The Dark Lord's Blog by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: What does Lord Voldemort do in his spare time? Well, that's an excellent question. Who would have known that the Dark Lord has a blog? (He also has a loyal following of readers, most of whom are Death Eaters and who post their comments.) Voldemort dispenses advice on everything from murder methods to germ protection to Power Rangers to shoes, and gives an account of the life of an evil overlord. But is he posting too much personal information online? And will Harry read it and find out more about the Dark Lord than Voldemort ever intended? Read and see.
WARNING: Extremely OOC behaviour from almost all.
RUNNER-UP in the 2007 Quicksilver Quills Awards for Best Humour fic! Also nominated like 21 times, because apparently my readers are as insane as I am!
Date: 11/18/06 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5: The Plot Sickens (Or: Not-Fan Mail)
Two words: Simply brilliant! lol I can't believe that Voldy is going out on a date. He just doesn't seem like he's into that kind of thing. :-) But he's still cute, btw. How can you not love the baldness and the red glowing eyes? lol Btw, does he know about Nagini keeping her diary?
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Scheherazade!
Hmmm... he probably suspects that Nagini does more than he thought before after discovering that she ordered so much stuff on his account on eBay.
Sorry for throwing her down the drain!
Date: 11/02/06 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2: A Selected List of Imbeciles
Great second chapter! I love the comments the other DE's write and Voldy's smart-arse answers! lol I'm heading over to now read the third chapter...
Author's Response: Thank you! The most fun part to write is the Death Eater comments.
Date: 11/02/06 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3: R.A.B. and Romance
Hilarious! You really have a knack for humor! I'm heading off to read some more.... :-)
Author's Response: Thank you! That\'s a big compliment, especially coming from the autho of Nagini\'s Diary!
Date: 11/02/06 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Fan Mail
I love the music choices you have for him. Though, I've always imagined him being into rock, like Evanescence or Lacuna Coil. lol Thankfully, he's not into Britney Spears. That would be wrong on more levels than I care to contemplate.
Tommy, just so you know, you're still a hottie! ;-)
Author's Response: Ummm... yeah. I admit, I just gave Voldy my tastes in music. But in the original Spoof Riddle Diaries on COSforums, Tom Riddle is VERY emo and loves all of the emo bands (as well as Josh Groban.)
Date: 12/12/06 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6: I Sold My Soul on eBay
Awww.... I'm so sad it's over. :-( I really wasn't expecting that much of a plot twist to it! lol You sure showed me! Great job! Please consider doing character blogs for the other characters!
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m glad you liked the plot twist! I shall indeed consider doing other blogs or perhaps a sequel.
Date: 11/02/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Don't Try This At Home
LOL! I love it! And the usernames definitely fit the characters. :-) I can really see Bella being a bit of a freak like that... I'm adding it to my favorites...
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, the usernames were fun to come up with... my friend and I made them up on a car trip.
The E-Journal of an Evil Janitor by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: It's the sequel to "The Dark Lord's Blog," guys! (And girls... and, I don't know, gender-neutral people and centaurs and walruses and parameciums and shrubs and stuff.)
Several months have passed since Filch came into possession of Voldemort's magical powers, and he has taken over Hogwarts.
With Filch serving as The Dark Lord Snoogerblossom, the position of Hogwarts caretaker/janitor is open. Seeing as Voldemort wants his magical powers back, he and his extremely attractive new sidekick, Mungo Phelps, go undercover at Hogwarts, with Mungo posing as a transfer student and Voldemort posing as the new janitor. Wacky high-jinks ensue.
Join Voldemort as he tries to get back his magic, kill Harry Potter, steal Gryffindor's sword to make a shiny new Horcrux, romance Minerva McGonagall, discover Sirius's secret to becoming a chick magnet, and swallow a teaspoon of his pride to mop up spills the Muggle way and wear an unflattering uniform! WARNING: Extremely silly and very out-of-character.
If you haven't read "The Dark Lord's Blog," well, what are you doing? GO READ IT NOW! Just click on my author name and you'll be directed to my chaotic author page, which lists all my wacky stories.
This is on hiatus, dudes. Ooh! But it was twice nominated by nice (and insane) people for the Best Humour Fic award in the Quicksilver Quills thingy!
Also, some wonderful loony nominated Mungo Phelps for Best Male OC, making him if possible even more conceited! (No one had the heart to tell Mungo that he was designed as an example of a terrible OC.)
EXCITING NEWS! "The E-Journal of an Evil Janitor" is now continued as a Twitter blog! Go to Twitter dot com and find thedarklord666. Voldy's waiting!
Date: 04/29/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Not A Loyal Slave In The World
Nagini has an e-Bay problem??? Oh dear...lol. I'm glad I found this fic before signing off... I just read two sad fics here and needed something to cheer me up. :-)
Oh, and Voldy, can't you just conjure your own food?
Author's Response: Ahhh, yes, you are the brilliant voice of Nagini. Well, you\'ll be pleased to know that chapter 2 has a HUGE amount of Nagini in it, and she\'s just as much of a, er, sparklediva (as she calls herself) as ever.
Author's Response: Oh yeah, and he can\'t conjure his food because he has no magic abilities now, remember?
Date: 05/31/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Not A Loyal Slave In The World
Can't believe I haven't left a review yet. I read it, but forgot to leave a review. *blush*
Loved the chapter. And Voldy, you must respect Nagini. Otherwise, she might write something nasty about you in her journal. ;-)
Author's Response: Oh dear! Hear that, Volders! ^_^ Thanks for your review. I thought you might enjoy the increased Nagini-ness.
Tom Riddle and the Deadly Mallows by Zetera
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Sequel to the parody 'Tom Riddle and the Half Blood Prince', which I am proud to state won the 2006 Quicksilver Quill award for best humor. Prior reading is advised, but not absolutely necessary.
Date: 05/30/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter One: Who Writes This Stuff?
EXCELLENT! I'm super glad you're doing a sequel! *squee! The first chapter was great! And I feel bad for Voldy... there wasn't any Voldy in book 6. Though, there was the incredibly hot Tom Riddle... ;-)
Author's Response: Haha, oh I know. We love Tom :)
Date: 05/31/07 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter Two: A Dreadful Discovery
Best line ever:
“Oh Merlin no, this isn’t going to be ‘slash’, is it?”
“Let’s hope not,” said Sirius as he slowly backed away.
Don't particularly care for SB/RL slash fics, so I nearly died laughing when I read that! lol
About the horses, though, does it have something to do with the Equus play? XD
Author's Response: Ahhhhhhhh you\'ve figured it out! And I\'m only on the second chapter! Shh, don\'t tell. A major plot point of this fic is the whole play/horses/horcrux thing. A well, I hope you enjoy it! And thanks for the review, I\'m not a fan of slash either :)
Date: 06/27/07 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter Three: The Best Plan Ever
Another brilliant chapter. I swear, you're a genius! lol I love how you incorperated the horses into it. Horses = horcruxes, lol I can't wait to read more, so don't keep us waiting please. :-)
Author's Response: Thanks - I\'ll try not to :-)
