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.
Stories Status:
Perfect for Each Other: Completed
How Did It Happen: One shot
Defying Gravity: One shot
A Mother's Love: One shot
Somewhere: One shot
Such Sweet Sorrow: One shot poem
Your Eyes: One shot poem
A Summer To Remember: WIP chaptered L/J
COMING SOON: I'll Cover You- One-shot L/J.
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!

Missing Scenes by MoonysMistress
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: In every story, there are missing scenes: smaller stories that don't make it into the main plot, but that subconsciously happen all the same. Harry Potter is no different — behind the scenes were the makings of a love that surprised us all.
Date: 02/12/06 Title: Chapter 5: Rumors
Wonderful chapter! Dumbledore was straight on perfect. As a fellow writer, I know he's a challenge to write and I tend to try to avoid him, but I thought he was wonderful. It's not my favorite chapter, mainly because it seems to be sort of a very small stop on the way to the end of the story, and not that important, but it fits in perfect with HBP. I think you need to cite the area that came out of the books, but besides that, it was good. I was estatic to see it had updated because it is definitely one of my fave stories! Keep up the awesome work!
Author's Response: Straight-on perfect? Meh...veering to the left a bit, I'd say. This really is such a plot filler chapter. And it doesn't have Remus. Yeesh. Woo, good idea with the citing thing. I'd hate to get in trouble. What's the best way to do that, you think? Star all the transcribed passages and add a disclaimer? I'll figure it out. Update coming soon! If I have time, I might even send it in tonight (being Feb. 20). Thanks for reviewing! ^_^
Date: 11/08/05 Title: Chapter 1: Remembering Sirius
You know, this is like the first fanfic I've ever read that actually fits in with the time frames and characterizations and everything. It's amazingly great! I love this story so much!
Author's Response: Dohh, thanks! I was really worried that I'd screw the canon timing up, I kept HBP at my side at all times for reference!
Date: 11/08/05 Title: Chapter 3: A Farewell of Sorts
10 million out of ten! omg, its the only lupin/tonks out there where the author actually bothers to try to keep in in character and in the right chronological order. moody's speech was a little forced (sorry, i noticed that and for some reason was annoyed by it) but i can totally see him teasing Tonks. keep up the great work!
Author's Response: :)!!! This makes me so happy. It's good to hear that y'all don't hate this story. Which speech of Moody's was forced? Most of my Moody stuff is iffy at best, since I've never really written him nor really wanted to. I like Moody, but I prefer to write about others. But if you point it out to me, I'll definitely try to fix it! The way Moody ragged on Tonks about wands in the back pockets was why I added him in as her teaser. (Wow...that made NO SENSE.) Anyway, thanks so much!
Date: 03/05/06 Title: Chapter 6: The Moment to Discuss It
Aww... sweet! That was so cute... hang on a minute, its over? Like seriously over? Like done? Darn it! That was really really good. I can't say anything but amazing! I'm so sad its over!
Date: 11/09/05 Title: Chapter 4: Christmas Memories
yay, thank u so much for updating. *sniff* that was everything, it fit in chronologically it was good, I loved it! You are one of my fave authors!
Author's Response: Oh, it was my pleasure! I get to read reviews like yours! *squee* Thankees!
Date: 04/26/06 Title: Chapter 7: Remembering Albus Dumbledore
This is really an amazing chapter! I really couldn't believe it, when I got the email saying "A story on your favorites, Missing Scenes, has updated." I thought it was a mistake, because I thought Missing Scenes was over in the sixth chapter! However, now I realize that chapter was nessecary. I just can't believe one of my favorite stories of all time (this was the story that made me a fan of yours) has come to a close!
For Padma's Sake by HermioneDancr
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Once, Parvati and Padma shared everything: pain and tears, happiness and laughter. But time has changed them, and now -- as Parvati sits with her sister at the dining table -- she cannot share. She must be strong. For Padma's sake. HBP Spoilers.
Date: 04/03/06 Title: Chapter 1: For Padma's Sake
Oh my god. This one shot stunned me. I'm absolutely stunned at the sheer beauty of this story. Let me start by first stating that I've never really thought of Padma and Parvati's relationship until now. I've always thought that they (Ok, mostly Parvati because of the Lavender thing) were silly girls that really didn't deserve much attention. I even felt bad for Hermione because she had to share a dorm with Parvati. This fic really changed my view on them. Second, I want to tell you I am a twin (my sister, lupinslover12, will probably pop in to review this story shortly cuz she reads everything on my faves and this is going on) I tend to stay away from Parvati fics because I hate seeing twins and their relationship being portrayed in the Mary-Suish cliche way they usually are. I must congradulate you- your portrayel of a twin and their relationship were extremely accurate. I really enjoyed how you portrayed Parvati and Padma's relationship- not extremely lovey, yet they sort of have a dignified best friendship in your story. The relationship of a twin is usually something like that. I enjoyed how you used flashbacks to effectively give your story a wonderful past. My only regret with this story is that it's a oneshot. 10/10, definitely!
Author's Response: I'm glad this story was so meaningful for you :-) Thanks especially for the feedback on the relationship between the twins... I have to confess that I myself am an only child, so my portrayl of their relationship is based entirely on observation. I suppose I just take it as a general rule by now that any close relationship is going to be complex. Thank you for taking the time to read and review!
Date: 04/23/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Veil
This poem had a lot of impact and stlyle for a short poem. Honestly, I saw this poem on the tens smallest story list, and didn't read it with high expectations. While I expected this poem to be brief, I didn't expect for it to be so sophisticated. I can tell from this small medium you have a great way with words. The words really flowed, and even though the poem itself is a short and compact peice, it had a great legacy. This poem is sort of like, in terms of performing, a little kid with a big and beautiful singing voice. It doesn't seem rushed or crammed at all, and fits the space it's given perfectly. I really can't say more, for fear of writing a review more than twice the size of the poem, but congradulations on an excellent job!
Author's Response: I\'m starting to really like these top tens lists...I\'m getting publicity! :P
I\'m glad to see my story rose to and beyond your expectations.
Your in depth review and compliments are greatly appreciated. :)

Silver-grey meeting chocolate brown by tetris
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Just a little poem I wrote for fun..... :) Please read and review! ^ ^,
Date: 08/04/06 Title: Chapter 1: One-shot
This is a very cute poem, with a good rhyming pattern. Though I am definitely not a fan of Draco/Hermione, I enjoyed reading this poem. I think the only thing in this poem you really need to work on is the title, which is a bit too long for a poem that is so short. I like what you put about Draco's frown. Good work!
Author's Response: thanks! :D well, about the title, I don\'t know if I\'ll change it but thank you for pointing it out! :) I\'ll have to say I agree with you ^^
Date: 11/10/05 Title: None
woohoo, cool story. please update soon, it will make everyone smile. ;) I saw u're author page about constatine from american idol, and i just wanna say my mom knew him when he was in a community theater show with her. sorry, that was random. like your story. but i like random!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: OMG YOUR MOM KNEW HIM!!!COOLNESS!!!!! When he's famous (which I know for some reason he will be) then I bet he'll organize some reunion of something or another and then your mom will come and you might get to meet him! right on!
Thanks for the great review!

Date: 11/19/05 Title: Chapter 1: Of Umbrella Stands and Magic Eyes
I loved it! Every one is perfectly in character, even Moody. I've read alotta Remus/Tonks and I know everyone tries uses Moody as sorta a matchmaker of some sort and usually Moody is a little forced, but your Moody was just perfect.
Author's Response: Thanks! I was worried about my Moody, but he turned out better than I thought he would.

Date: 03/21/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Invitations and Complications
I saw your plea for help on the forums for a beta, and I was so interested I decided to check out your story. I liked the start, although I was curious about the fact Lily liked James. If you can remember back to Snape's Worst Memory in book five, you'll notice Lily absolutely despised Snape. I liked how you characerterized Roselyn though, at least in the letter. It will be interesting to see if she keeps up her attitude, but I like her a lot so far. Remember, if you still need a beta please PM me or email me a lexhart92@hotmail.com. I really liked this so far and want to help you work with it in the future.

Wow, I really like a serious story from the perspective of Nagini. And I find it fascinating that Nagini can also be a person. I give her major thanks for torturing the former-proffesor-who-will-not-be-named-who-killed-my-favorite-character-and-made-Harry's-life-miserable, and give you a 10 million out of ten for an excellent story. Go Nagini! Its just sad that she's going to have to die in the end, so Harry will win, because your Nagini is a seriously cool character. Keep up the good work.
Date: 12/03/05 Title: None
Go Nagini, give that filthy slimeball what he deserves! ;) What Snape said about the washcloth made me laugh out loud, I completely agree with Nagini. I feel bad for her- imagine being married to Snape. EWWWWWWWWWW! Except for the kind of graphic dialogue (I really did not need to know about Snape not washing) just kidding, I absolutely loved it. Ten out of ten, definitely!
Date: 12/03/05 Title: None
I'd always thought Snape would be good with a snake- he is one himself. Nagini is just who he deserves. Sorry for reviewing every chapter, but I just adore this story and think you should get alot more reviews than you have. Hear that people- review or else!
Date: 12/04/05 Title: None
As usual the content was excellent, though it was a little short. I think there were quite a few grammerical errors that could have been fixed. Snape washing his hair? I don't think that would happen even in the most unrealistic of fanfics- you are very daring. I feel bad for Nagini- imagining having to spend the rest of her life with that creep- but she's so lucky she gets to torment Snape like that. Nagini is my hero!
Author's Response: *bawls eyes out* More reviews! No need to apologize for reviewing every chapter. I'll look through and see if I can spot those mistakes. Thanks for letting me know! Don't worry Snape washing his hair is pretty much going to be a one time thing.
An Exercise in Pointlessness by lunafish
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Snape has some unfinished business with Dumbledore.
Submitted by lunafish of Ravenclaw in response to the extra credit challenge "Letters to Heaven." Posted before DH.
Date: 11/20/05 Title: Chapter 1: An Epistle to Dumbledore
that was really powerful really emotional and really good, but i can see u r one of those poeple who think dumbledore chose 2 die. he did not chose 2 die; if he did, why would he leave harry?
it was really well written though and it almost makes u feel bad for snape- but not really
i would have liked 2 c something about him overhearing the prophecy and going after the potters thought
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, Lilypudding! I hope you're right about Dumbledore not choosing to die (and I can't wait to see what we will learn in book 7 about all this!), but it's fun to explore the other possibilities, isn't it? Maybe I'll write another story about him overhearing the prophecy someday; that might be fun. Thanks again!

omg, this is one of my favorite fics ever! i love how its all like harry thought lavender needed help in a large way that was hiliarious. about u cowriting this with u're sister, i understand because i have a twin too and she helps me write stuff, i don't need a beta cuz i have her
Author's Response: That bit was actually Judith's! Yes, exactly. She is my beta..... but neither of us can spell, so speel check is my buddy too :D!
