I know what you're thinking. You're probably thinking, What kind of username is x_lily_evans_x? And I agree whole-heartedly with you. x_lily_evans_x is a username that I'd chosen at the tender age of thirteen and five-sixths, and while most people at that age were capable of thinking wise beyond their years, I was, very unfortunately, not one of their number. And then now, two years on, when I'm capable of a higher level of thinking, I've wanted to change my penname loads of times, but it's just not allowed here. And because I have quite a number of stories up, I just simply cannot be bothered to sign up for a new account. So I'm stuck with that lousy penname. The end.
I'd like to thank all my former beta readers, and Joanna (lucilla_pauie) for beta'ing Intertwining Fates. I'd also like to thank my homies, Eliezer, who read through my excerpt bunnies and give me great suggestions for my romance fics, and Cherie, who came up with the brilliant title Turning Tables.Thanks go to Quan Yue, who tirelessly read through and edited my fic. Thanks, you guys! :D
Well, you-who-are-reading-this-page, I hope you'll take some time to browse through my fics, especially the more recent ones. Enjoy!

What Does It Matter? by MagEd
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: The first war with Voldemort is at it's worst, and everything is going wrong for Lily Potter. Her sister is blaming her for their parents' deaths. Her friends are dead or in danger. Nine out of ten nights, she doesn't even know where James is, if he's even alive. She can't confide in anyone. She is just about ready to give up, when suddenly she is handed new hope -- in the most unexpected way. Originally written for the New Year's Myth and Magic challenge. *one-shot*
Date: 02/10/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
oops. I didn't realise it was a one shot. But I liked it anyway. I wish there was more about the part where Brigid visits Lily again, though.
Author's Response: Perhaps if inspiration hits me I\'ll write a squeal as Bridget did say she was going to find Lily again when Harry was born!
Never To Be Forgotten by Valentinia
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A dream or a nightmare? He can't make up his mind. He's seen. His dream. His nightmare. But he'll win this war, won't he? He knows he will.
Date: 06/09/08 Title: Chapter 1: Never To Be Forgotten
You were freakishly close to the truth. I didn't know for sure whether it was Grindelwald or not, but I was mentally riffling through a list of names and his seemed very likely. And then I saw the first review and it was Grindelwald. I think this fic has woven the Wizarding world together with the world of the Muggles (us, unfortunately) really well. Nicely done and written.
-Mavis
Author's Response: I had the same thought. ;) *brags* (about the first part, not about my fic being nicely done. i\'m not _that_ conceited. :D). Anywayyy... thanks for the review! *is pleased* *very pleased*

101 Ways to Woo Hermione Granger by Katdiva
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Hermione Granger is pursued by a relentless Draco Malfoy. And what a Malfoy wants, a Malfoy gets!
Date: 07/19/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Good lord... that was so hilarious! I love the different ways Malfoy signed himself off. They were all so egoistic! And the way he misinterprets Hermione's attempts to get rid of him, he's so cutely oblivious (or cutely in denial). (: Loved it.

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Parvati, Cho and Ginny - the three prettiest girls of Hogwarts, demand Harry why he didn't simply stick around with one of them. And he answers each of the ladies in limerick-like stanzas, giving his own "verdict" in the end.
Warning: Slightly idiotic
Date: 07/19/07 Title: Chapter 1: "Oh Harry, why not me?"
Cute! I'm not particularly pro Harry/Luna, I'm more for Harry/Ginny, but this poem was interesting (:
Author's Response: I know, they don\'t have any fan-following...but after OotP, I can think of nothing else, even though HBP betrayed that
There She Goes by Jazzinator
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Love is not love,
which alters when it alteration finds...
Nyxandriana Brisk: Ravenclaw, sixth year, Shakespeare buff, designated 'odd one out', never been kissed, no one knows her name.
Nyxandriana Brisk: Just fell in love.
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
-William Shakespeare
Date: 09/15/07 Title: Chapter 3: Three
Oh, this is an interesting little fic. I like the way you portray Nyxandriana. She sounds like a most intriguing character. Continue this story, yes?
Author's Response: I do plan on continuing, though only if I can get over this WRITER\'S BLOCK. It is the bane of my exsistance.
Minding the Baby by Rhetor
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Andromeda is left alone with Teddy, or so she thinks.
Date: 08/06/07 Title: Chapter 1: Minding the Baby
OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. I love this story. Gosh, I especially liked the last paragraph, it's kind of sweet and touching, the fact that Malfoy is repentant. I'm favouriting this one-shot and reading it again and again when I have th time. (:
Author's Response: Thanks, Mavis. I\'m glad you like it so much. I\'m not sure how repentant Draco is -- but it\'s certainly a start, isn\'t it? ~Ken
I Love You This Much by MagEd
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: This is the story of a boy and a girl. And a boy. This is the story of love returned and unreturned, of friendship gone dry, and of the things people will do for love. This is the story of James Potter and Lily Evans and Severus Snape. *two-shot*
Date: 08/15/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Yet another amazing fanfic from you. Gosh, the characters were so well characterized, I can imagine everything. I felt a little sorry for Snape, but I was really quite disgusted when he laid a kiss on Lily. I'll be sure to keep a tab on this one. (:
Author's Response: Thanks, I\'m glad you think so! The character J.K.R created in Snape is amazing, and it\'s good to read you think I\'ve captured some some part of him!
Date: 09/03/07 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2
This was undoubtedly brilliant! You did manage to show that there was no way Lily and Snape could go back to being friends after that.
However, here are some nitpicks. You confused "your" with "you're", but that's only a few times. Also, it's "slid shut", and not "slit shut". Otherwise, this story was perfect, and yes, there is no doubt that Lily belonged with James and he her.
A job well done, as usual!
Author's Response: Thanks! Ah, I always do manage to have a few typos! I need to fix those, thanks for pointing them out.

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: James Potter is about to give up his pursuit of his six-year crush, Lily Evans. But will he change his mind after an enlightening conversation with an understanding taxicab driver? One-shot, R&R!!
Excerpt:
“Have you ever fallen in love?” James asked hesitantly.
“Yep.”
“Have you ever loved her with all your heart and soul?”
“Yep.”
“Have they never requited your love?”
“Yep.”
“Have you ever thought of giving them up?”
“Yep. Did it too. Was without a doubt the worse mistake I’ve made in me bloody life.”
Date: 08/09/07 Title: Chapter 1: Taxicab Conversations
Oh, my gosh, this story's so original! I loved how James got advice from a total stranger, and it was a stroke of genius that he told that same story to Harry! It's so sweet, really loved it. And what's with that author's note at the end? This one-shot was amazing, you're being too harsh on yourself! (:
Dear Snivellus Snape... by Solemnly Swear
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: When second-year James Potter decides to be quill-pals with Severus Snape, he at least amuses himself...
Date: 08/31/07 Title: Chapter 1: Dear Snivellus Snape...
Oh, hilarious. This seriously cracked me up. A chapter well done! I'm looking forward to more. (:
Author's Response: I\'m looking forward to writing it :)
Click! by Pussycat123
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Before Harry’s fifth year at Hogwarts, he is shown a group photo of the original Order of the Phoenix, back when it was his parents fighting against Voldemort.
But a photo doesn’t show their lives, their personalities, their every day conversations ... or how much organising can be needed to take one single photograph when you have a room full of people – especially when four of whom liked to call themselves “Marauders” back in their school days ...
Date: 09/01/07 Title: Chapter 1: Click!
Gosh, that's a really bittersweet one-shot. Everyone was still relatively happy, and none of them knew what was going to happen to them... anyway, nice one!
Author's Response: Bittersweet ... exactly what I was going for. Glad it worked!
The Promise of Hope by solemnlyswear_x
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: In a world where Harry Potter failed to vanquish the Dark Lord, Muggle-born Clare Morgan must honor her binding contract as a servant to the Ashwood family. Abuse and struggle were expected when she arrived at the manor, but falling in love with her master’s son was not. A story of love, hardship, and the promise that hope brings.
Date: 09/26/07 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 2 - A Lack of Common Sense
Oh, man! This is one interesting plot you have. Although it's a dark, dark world with the Dark Lord, and I normally don't like this sort of stories, but I'm definitely keeping a tab on this one. It's sounds really interesting. Gavin seems like a really enigmatic character! :D
Author's Response: Yay, I\'m glad you like it! :D
Hogwarts Musical: Chamber of Secrets by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Anyone heard those rumours about a Harry Potter musical?
It better be just like this.
No, but seriously, it's a spoof of the songs from Disney channel's infamous "High School Musical," telling the tale of JK Rowling's infamous "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." (I was dared; I took the challenge.)
You will never see the Basilisk the same way again.
P.S. You may also want to check out my Beatles and Phantom of the Opera spoofs. Just click on my username and it'll take you to my delightfully chaotic author's page.
Twice nominated for Best Poem in the Quicksilver Quills Awards!
Date: 08/30/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 and Only
OH MY GODRIC. This was fantastic! I kept looking at the lyrics and grinning at how they fitted so well in those HSM songs. Hilarious! (:
Author's Response: Awww, thank you! I\'m glad you thought the lyrics fitted well. I tried to make them work!
With You by bluemoon13
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It was insane. It was stupid. But he had to do it. Severus Snape knew he would never be able to live without knowing.
It all came down to her.
Lily.
Date: 09/14/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Okay, I've never really liked James Blunt's You're Beautiful, but I must say this fic is really good and I think you did the Lily-Snape confrontation rather well. Excellent!
A Highly Combustible Situation by whatapotter
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: When James makes a cocky boast that he knows Hogwarts so well he could make his way around it blindfolded, Lily unexpectedly takes his bet. Now, James has to spend twenty-four hours with a magical blindfold on, fumbling his way around the trickiest areas of the school. If he loses, he must publicly announce his failure, admit he’s not really as cool as he thinks he is, and give a large apology to Severus Snape. If he wins, however, he gains the adulated prize of giving one kiss to Lily Evans.
Suddenly, James is very keen for this bet to take place…
As for Lily… well, at first she thought it would be a grand idea to humiliate Potter, and was looking forward to his embarrassing debut. However, as any student who’s attended Hogwarts for longer than a few hours would know, Hogwarts just isn’t that safe… especially not when you’re blind, have a natural affinity for trouble, and your name is James Potter. Somehow, Lily’s been roped in for Potter-sitting, and it’s starting to look like a very, very long twenty-four hours.
Date: 10/15/07 Title: Chapter 2: In Which Disagreements Are Had, Shouting Occurs, And Conditions Are (Finally) Set
Oh, this is going to be one fun story, all right. I loved how you made you made Sirius torn between Moony and Prongs, and in the end he sided with James. It just shows how he's kind of really with James all the while. “You obviously have no comprehension of the power of my kisses, Moony,” boasted James. That was definitely my favourite line. James is being such an idiot! I can't wait for the third chapter! :D
Author's Response: I loved that line too, lol! So glad you're enjoying, thanks for reviewing!
