If you look at my favorites, you'll see that I am a
Ron/Hermione shipper, and Harry/Ginny as well. I love those crazy kids :-)
I'm probably not so good at writing romance, though -- my main strength is character studies. For me, writing is a way of trying to understand the world around me, and figuring out why people do what they do is a theme that will probably crop up a lot in my writing.
Also, I am a PI-Accredited beta, and my specialty is helping those whose first language is not English.

This is brilliant. Brilliant. It's so real, the depression, Harry's guilt, everything. Brilliant. Excellent. Wow. (Have you ever read the Ender's Game series by Orson Scott Card? The whole theme of war and guilt is a big part of that, and I think I love this story for the same reasons I love that.)

Author's Response: Thank you so much. It was definitely some work making sure that I got Harry\'s state of mind down perfectly throughout this story, so I\'m glad I did that right by you. No, I haven\'t read Ender\'s Game, or anything by Orson Scott Card, but the name definitely rings a bell. I think a friend of mine was into his books. well, thanks or the review.

You know what, I almost feel like you are stalking me ;) "I’d rather like to have Harry as a son-in-law one day." -- my mom said the same thing about a friend of mine, AND the only thing close to a "date" we've had is ice-skating. No kidding! Anyway, I am really enjoying this! I LOVE your Ginny, she's so cheeky! I love this story so much, can't wait for the next installment!!!
Longing... by AstroFire
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A little poem Ron wrote in one of his History of Magic classes while Professor Beans recited with monotone voice. To who it was addressed? To Hermione, of course!
Date: 06/07/06 Title: Chapter 1: Longing...
That's beautiful! Very much how I imagine Ron and Hermione feeling for each other, too. I speak Spanish too, so I have an urge to translate it and see how it compares to the original! haha! Excelente :)
Author's Response: Thank you very much NorskHeksen! I must admit this poem made me nervous because it is the first I publish here (or in any other place of the internet). Oh, and if you want, I\'ll email you the original poem, so you can read it just as it came to me :) Thanks for the review!

Date: 08/19/06 Title: Chapter 1: speaker for the dead
Oh, that was very beautifully Ender-ish. Harry and Ender really do have so much in common! (SftD is my absolute favourite book of all time. Is it bad that I pictured this taking place on Lusitania? lol) You were also very true to Draco's character and, well, life story, I thought. So you did quite well by both OSC and JKR! I'm favourite-ing this :-)
Author's Response: I love Ender too, and saw the parralells almost imeadiatly. I really just tried to pull two great philosophies together, and hope that it worked. Thank you very much for your kind words and letting me know it did.

Wow, that's intense... very sick, but of course that how it's supposed to be. Just out of curiousity, do you study history or are you just interested in it? I can't guarantee I'll be able to read the rest of it, but it's a very interesting project and I applaud you :)
