Hey, I'm Lilypudding AKA LongbottomsLady... I just started writing fanfic a few months ago, but I've been writing all my life!
I'm really sorry I had to delete "A Summer to Remember." I fell of the face of fanfiction Earth for nearly three months and once I rejoined, I had forgotton my plans for chapter two. I solemly swear never to attempt another chaptered story again and I am sticking to one shots. I am sorry for the pain it has caused any of my readers. The regret I put into deleting it is unmeasurable.
Series Status:
The World's A Stage for Lily and James: I'm updating that periodically; however, I'm only going to add a new story when natrual inspiration strikes. I'm thinking about songs from several shows, like RENT, Into the Woods, Guys and Dolls and maybe even Fiddler on the Roof.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: "I'll Cover You," a songfic to the song from RENT, is in a beta's hands as I type this. I'm hoping the nature of this song in the musical won't turn people off, as this fic completely focuses on Lily and James's wedding and has nothing to do with the homosexual relationship of Angel and Collins. "I'll Cover You" is a romantic song, and can fit many couples regardless of sexuality.

ABOUT ME:
I'm just a HP fan who is obsessed with musical theatre and dogs. I enjoy performing, even though I'm not very good at it, and my love of theatre is second only to my love of writing. I generally try to be a constructive reviewer - don't be insulted if I leave a long and not-so-positive review on your story, as I sometimes will, because my intent is to help. While I usually give long and guiding reviews on barely-reviewed stories, I'm not above the occasional "Great story!" review.
Ok, heres a banner for Defying Gravity, courtesy of Token from HPFF:

Well, I hoped you enjoy reading my bio and you enjoy my stories!
I loved how you did this! I noticed you kept the perfect thing in, but it looks right so I don't care. I loved what you added about calling Petunia and her Mum. Great job! Best chapter yet!
Wow, that was great! I can't imagine Harry would be sad that Voldy was gone, but I think that interpetation was great. 10/10! Great job!
Author's Response: I am glad you thing so. I agree that the 'sad about voldy' thing was a bit strange but i had to have something to compare to him being happy about voldy gone and i decided that most authors would write 'excitement is over' kind of stuff. (Might be a bit unoriginal but there you go...)
That was short, but powerful! It conveyed so much emotion. The only thing I would suggest is fixing the summary to be more grammatically-correct.
I really like this! I think the idea is really original. This is such an awesome story, I don't understand why there aren't more reviews. I enjoy the world you created for Bruno. I've never read another story like that... such a brilliant idea!
A good first chapter. Thier were a lot of spelling mistakes of words repeated for other words (you wrote "drug" instead of "drag" and "blinded" instead of "binded") but other than that, it was perfect. I look foward to reading the second chapter. Once again, great job!
Wow, keep up the amazing work! I know first-fics are a pain in the neck to write, but it was still really really good. I'm really intrigued by the insight you have got here and I can't wait to the next chapter. Great job!
Author's Response: thank you so much!!! wow, getting reviews really is fun, thanks! working on the next chapter now, hope you like it! thankyou again! :)
Beautiful! Beautiful and wonderful and sad! But where's Luna??
Author's Response: No Luna in my story - you'll find out next chapter who his love interest will be. Thank you for the lovely review!
I LOVED IT! Omg, it is so funny. I love seeing the Marauders have a good time, because when you know what happens to them, you really think they need it! I loved the part where Remus was all like "You are not dead. You say this every morning!" Sooooooooooooo funny. I feel so bad for poor Remus though. At least he has nice friends, though. 10/10, 10/10, 10/10, 10/10, 10/10, 10 million/10, you get the pic. Please, write a sequel! I just loved it soooooooooooo much!

I don't know how my review got up their twice, but I'm sorry to bother you with 2 reviews. I still adored it though!
Author's Response: Erm...four, actually. =)

A good story, but I won't deny I am a little confused. I'm not sure which one of the girls is the red-head mentioned in the summary. You need to give the girls more characteristics. I am also very confused over when the story takes place... at first it takes place on the train, and then it seems like to be several years later, with no type of transition. Good first chapter though, I am really looking foward to the next one!
Author's Response: Thank you, yes quite a few people are confused also so I think we (the two authors writing this fic) will try to edit this chapter and make further chapters clearer. Yes, at first the story is on the train, and it shows both girls' POV's, and then it changes to 5th year. We hoped readers would grasp this concept easily but apparently we were wrong. We'll have to edit this chapter and the other chapters we have already written to be more clear. Thanks for your feedback and support!
That made my Christmas. Officially. Forget about presents, trees or family, that made my Christmas. It was so sweet except I didn't get where it took place; it was obviously before the end of the Order of the Pheonix, but the only time they weere at Grimmauld Place with Sirius at Christmas was when Mr. Weasley was in the hospital after the snake attack. Still, I don't care, it was much to sweet. Like always, it was absolutely perfect. You have an uncanny ability to write the sweetest R/T! Not only are they good, but you have written a lot of fantastic fics! Where do you find the time? Ten out of ten!
Author's Response: And this review is pretty much an incredible Christmas present for me. Sixteen days early, too. THANK YOU so much for spotting a minor canon detail. In my summary, it says that it takes place the Christmas of Harry's fifth year. I didn't have my book with me, though, and I forgot about poor Mr. Weasley! But I changed it so that he was in St. Mungo's, not at work, and you can easily rearrange it to make sense in your mind. At least, I hope so. It means a lot to my romantic little heart to hear I write sweet R/T, since that is my ultimate ship. *squooshes them together under mistletoe* As to finding the time, one word, dear: summer. lol. Plus, I type fast, and I don't start a story unless I know pretty much exactly what's going to happen. One-shots are easy, they don't take up time. *snogs the ten under the mistletoe* Thanks SO much, you're a fabulous reviewer!
Wow, I only have 2 suggestions- subtly add more suggestion to who were speaking at (I knew the second girl was Ginny... duh... but I wasn't sure about the first one) and turn the hte in the summary to the, its a small typo but it makes a world of difference to reviewers.
Short but sweetly sad! 10 zillion out of ten! Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I can't tell you how much reviews mean to me! And the first one was about Ron and Hermione, with the mentions of the trio. Anyways, I probably should've been more clear with that. Thanks so much for the reviews, again!
That was intersting, and definitely intriguing. I think Dumbledore was slightly out of character... but then again he is Dumbledore, so really, can you honestly describe Dumbledore's character? I think you placed to much emphasis on the names thing and also, I think you should change Wesley's name because I was reading it rather quickly and thought you named him Weasley, and I was all like, "Its Uncle Bilius!" Also, I think the chapter should have another name besides Chappie One... thats really not good. Still, its a very intriguing first chapter and I expect great things to come in future chappies!
Author's Response: Thank you very much for your review. Sorry about the name emphasis. I thought it was rather funny. As for Wesley, you're completely right. It does sort of look like Weasly. I didn't mean to confuse you. I would change it, but I'm rather fond of the name Wesley.
By the way, I changed my first chapter's name. It's rather boring, but I'll try to come up with more interesting names for my future chappies!
Wow, that was beautiful! I have never read a poetry fic in my life, but after reading this I am going to have to read some more. How can I start? Hm... ANDROMEDA BLACK IS THE COOLEST CHARACTER EVER! You are probably one of the first authors that really takes her seriously. I know there is a lot of margin of error in the Andromeda area, because we know nothing about her. Most people assume she is out of character or in the wrong time frame wherever she is written, no matter what story. Just daring to tackle Andromeda haters deserves a ten in my book. However, the way you handled her is absolutely brilliant. I've always thought of Andromeda as a mysterious character, and you captured that aura perfectly! 10 million out of ten without a doubt!
10/10 for effort, but I'm not sure if I really liked it. It was sort of cliche, but it was very good. It finally proved to me that James Potter had brains of some sort. However, I don't think he would enchant Lily like that, and I don't think Lily would be stupid enough not to realize it was a trap and I do not think she would open her heart out to a mysterious stranger who cast a spell on her so he wouldn't be reconized. It was highly unlikely, but well written. I'm not crazy about the content, but you definitely have a lot of potential to be a good fic writer. I would however suggest you relocate your fic to James/Lily to recieve a wider reader range.
Author's Response: thanks for reviewing, it means a lot, and so does the constructive criticsm! i really need all i can get, i know, so thanks!

What did being a Marauder truly mean?... Let's just say that some tunes cannot be played by a lone musician; and those four's lives were certainly not soloists' scores. In class or in detention, in Quidditch matches or full-moon wanderings, fleeing before monsters or confronting dark wizards, they wrote, measure after measure, their own eight-handed piece.Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, are proud to present a Symphony for Quartet.
10/10, 10/10, 10/10, 10 million out of ten! What can I say but fabulous? I think you need to read it more carefully for grammer, and perhaps change the summary and chapter title, but it is still absolutely amazing! I love what you have going on here. You have brilliant potentiall, and have a unique flair for making a first chapter interesting, fresh, and fun. I'm looking foward to further chapters. Keep up the excellent work, though!
Author's Response: Thank you sooo much for this review. I was expecting some remarks about my grammer, as I'm French and this is the first time I've ever written in English. I wasn't too happy about the chapter title, either. Your review is really helping me, I appreciate it. No, wait, this is the understatement of the century. Actually I'm dancing around, laughing like mad.
Intersting. I am highly against Draco/Hermione, all though I have several friends who support that ship, but I did like the poem. I loved the way it seemed loaded and full. The only thing I would suggest it to change the line, "then I laid in bed" to "as I lay in bed" or something more grammatically correct. I'm not good at grammer, so it may technically be correct, but it didn't really flow.
Author's Response: Thank you. Ya, I wasnt sure about that line either, but i used a grammer checker. but i agree with you. I'm glad you liked it. <3
