Hey all fellow authors, readers, Harry Potter fanatics :P,
My name is Rachel and I'm sixteen in May. I'm quiet, kind of shy, a daydreamer and artsy/creative I guess. I like Art - drawing and painting. Most of my stuff is just doodles and sketches which I just sort of keep in a drawer, but I have sketchbooks too. I like writing, i like reading. I like exploring, I like walking in the countryside and feeding the ducks. If I could go back in time, I'd meet Beatrix Potter for a day and we'd go up a hill and paint and write stories about the animals there; I'd meet Shirley Hughes and ask her to teach me how she draws and writes, and I'd go back to Jane Austen's life and find out who Elizabeth Bennet was and whether Mr Darcy exists for every eligible bachelorette!
I like singing, dancing and acting too, but usually only in my room since my dancing is umm...interesting! I hate Maths and science. I wanna kill algebra one day. I love kids and their imaginations. I love looking after them and I like inventing stories and games for them.
I'm doing English language and literature for the the next year (and hopefully after). Writing is a skill that has to be practised to become anything, so I figured, writing stories is pretty much a way to keep me motivated!. I love harry potter and JK Rowling is pure genius. She's my favourite author, hands down. I don't care about all those people who make digs at her by saying she only writes basic literature for kids...so? Just look at this site, dedicated to her :)
Since I was little I've always wanted to write professionally. Nowadays I'd still love to write a book, but realistically that's quite a big dream! Whether or not I publish a book, creative writing is a really useful skill to develop. So writing fanfiction is the way forward! It's far more fun and way less stressful than school will ever be - and no one judges you!
I like general fanfiction, but Harry Potter's all I've ever written. I almost started a Lost fanfic once since I'm really into that show and believe that Kate and Jack are made for one another! Lol. Anyway. At some point, I'll get my next fanfic up. I swear, exams and school are almost NOT worth the effort...but once they're over I am going to SIT DOWN with a HUGE cup of tea and write a fanfic :)
PS: Check out my awesome, wicked banner for "The New Surprise". All the credit goes to sayiansirius, who made it for me. Oh and HPobsession helped ;). Thanks guys!!
Here is the bit for all you lot reading "The New Surprise". Chapter 15 got deleted first time round, so that's why there was a wait. I had to completely re-write it, but I think the 2nd draft has improved a lot, so I'm glad really! Again, my apologies for making you wait!!
Anyway here are the quizzes I liked!

Which HP Kid Are You?
Which Harry Potter Marauder Are You?

A Broken Wing by annie
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Narcissa Black was, in every aspect of her physical appearance, an angel. She had long, golden locks and beautiful eyes that were, on the surface, of a sparkling sapphire blue. Every women who passed by her on the street envied her and every man wished they could take her home with them. On the outside, Narcissa was perfect. But, as with everyone and everything, there is no such thing as perfection. If you looked deeper into her eyes, you would find a different story... (One-shot/AU/songfic to Martina McBride - A Broken Wing; Narcissa may be slightly OOC)
Date: 09/16/06 Title: Chapter 1: A Broken Wing
That was good - I think its interesting to finally read about Lucius and Narcissa's relationship cos no-one ever really writes about it. Narcissa's one of those interesting characters who I like reading about. nice work

DUI (Dating Under the Influence) by Narwen3
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: A Story Inspired by Page 308 of Half-Blood Prince. Rated for drunken behavior. One-Shot.
Date: 12/11/05 Title: Chapter 1: 308 Continued
Hahahahaha....that was funny! Y'know, JK Rowling never put any of that type of romance/comedy in the books...damn! It was a light, funny short read, glad i read it....i liked how filch started ripping up books and Pince started calling mrs. norris a "Filthy anilib" or wateva...
Author's Response: I truly enjoyed the writing of this one. The minute I read about Harry thinking that Filch and Pince might have something going on, something in my mind said, "Hey stupid, you should write about this" and because something in my mind insulted me like that, I decided to go for it! I'm really happy with the result and I'm glad that you liked it!
Date: 05/01/06 Title: Chapter 1: 308 Continued
hahahaha....sorry just had to comment on it again ;)
Author's Response: No problem, comment all you like!

The Girl Behind the Bookworm by Hermione Weasley_Ginny Potter
Rated: •Summary: Hermione Granger is not the person everyone thinks… sure, she regards the rules more than most people and tries her best to keep her grades perfect, but a real teenage girl resides. This story is Hermione’s diary, and if you read it, you will read about the girl that is hidden by the bookworm, and we will explore Hermione’s real thoughts. Rated PG-13 for language. Author’s Note: This fic was written BEFORE the publication of HBP, so it will follow through OotP cannon. And, I promise that the story is better than the summary! ;) Chapter Five accepted!! The story is finished now... you know you wanna review!
Date: 02/01/06 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter Five
Oh wow!!!!!!! That was a perfect ending!!!! I loved Chapter five so much ive added it to my favorites!!!! This was such a sweet story, i'm not just saying that. I loved the bit where hermione was about to kiss ron for the first time and how you built up the tension for that moment, it was really good. And then i laughed wen hermione gave ron a hickey by mistake!! So great!!!
Author's Response: Thanks! :D
