My name's Lucy, I'm 15 years old and from Australia. I picked up my first Harry Potter book around the time GoF came out, and ever since then I've been madly obsessed. Just as a note to any readers, the four stories I currently have posted here are all quite old. I like to think my writing has improved since I wrote those (particularly Imperfections- my first), but please still feel free to review. :) And I'm afraid that, at the moment, it doesn't look like Letters from the Other Side will get completed. Sorry to anyone who was enjoying it.
Aside from reading and writing, I love music. My list of favourite bands is forever changing and updating, but at the moment a few favourites are From First To Last, Nightwish, All-American Rejects, Snow Patrol, AFI, Cute Is What We Aim For, Drop Dead, Gorgeous, Hidden In Plain View, Jack Off Jill, In This Moment, Oasis, Senses Fail, and many more.
I'm currently working on a new fic about Bella, my current obsession. It's pretty dark at this stage, and possibly a little violent, so I'm working on toning it down a little. Hopefully it will get submitted sooner or later.
That's all for now. Happy reading!

Too Sweet to Remember by Canadian Confessional
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Meet James Potter, a clever, somewhat mischievous, popular student at Hogwarts. He takes every situation in stride and has everything under control, except one: Lily Evans, an amazingly beautiful and intelligent individual. He loves her more than anything, but she despises him more than anything, and a not-so-impressive run-in late at night with her leaves James thinking that chasing after Lily might be hopeless. Then, a series of events happen in James' life, which is topped off by an unexpected visitor that makes his sixth year too sweet to remember.

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: 09/15/06 Title: Chapter 2: Because of Parvati
I really loved it. So sad.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Date: 11/06/06 Title: Chapter 2: Because of Parvati
I came back to re-read this fic, and thought I'd leave you a more substantial review than last time. So, here goes...
First off, your writing style is excellent. I loved the way you kept repeating the title throughout the story; it was really effective. You have a brilliant way of describing people, places and emotions.
You really captured the feelings behind anorexia. I have struggled with this disorder on and off for a while, and I can completely identify with her feelings. I know what its like to never feel adequate, and to be so desperate you will reach out to anything for control.
I am glad you added a second chapter, it showed a whole new aspect of the story and fitted really well. I loved the way you incorporated the two different viewpoints in the story.
This was an absolutely excellent story; touching, haunting, and brilliantly written.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing again! I\'ve been kind of amazed at how many anorexics and former anorexics have come out of the woodwork and reviewed it. Hopefully it means something; I wrote this as a way of coping with a friend\'s anorexia, and I hope reading this can be part of the healing process for other people.
Forever Yours by harry_potter_star
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
sigh.
Okay. Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay
For all of you who wanted an update, I have a proposition. You may or may not like it, but it's all I can offer.
Check review challenge for the last chapter. details there!
James and Lily Potter were possibly the most famous parents in wizarding history. We know alot about their adult life, but what do we really know about their childhood? Even Harry never knew about the Drama, jealousy, danger, friendships, happiness, sadness, resentment,confusion and love that his parents went through as children. Here, their lives, from when the two of them were eleven to when they were brutally murdered at only 21, is recorded. Lily and James Potter were unsung heros. This is their story.

He Made the Stars Fall by cor_leonis
Rated: •Summary: Petunia reflects back on the first time she met James Potter. Their introduction was quite different than she'd expected it to be, and not exactly what she'd hoped for.
Date: 07/16/06 Title: Chapter 1: He Made the Stars Fall
i loved your portrayal of lily and james' relationship. vernon was so awful, i felt desparately sorry for petunia! how could she love a guy like that? the idea behind the story was quirky and original, i liked it!
Get One Thing Straight, I'm Not by LadyLupin827
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: The comedy of how Remus and Sirius got together in their fourth year.
Date: 07/08/06 Title: Chapter 5: Pure Pleasure
oh, my god, this whole story was so funny! i laughed so hard. i admit i found the last chapter a little weird...i'm not homophobic and i have friends who are gay, but its just strange thinking about it so directly. it was still really good though. and i think its good that the story shows gey people as completely normal as well, coz there is still so much prejudice against them, its sick!
oh, and i love remus' obsession with chocolate! so funny.
anyways, great story!
Author's Response: Ah, Moony and his chocolate! *sighs dreamily* Thank u oodles!
Proud Can I Never Be of What I Hate by song_breeze

sirius and lily...wierd! i really like it though. please update soon!
Author's Response: Yeah, weird is the word I\'d use. Thanks.
She's No You by 1coolmuggle
Rated: •Summary: James Potter was a quidditch star, popular, and had great hair. Of course, he loved Lily Evans, and never gave up on her. But remember what Ginny said in the 6th book? She never gave up on Harry, but she still dated other boys. Well, James did the same thing. This is a fic about what went on while he was waiting around for Lily. A/N: Oh, and don’t think, from the title, that I’m one of the girls that obsesses over Jesse McCartney. The title IS the name of one of his songs, but that’s because it seemed to make sense. He was cool, for a short while, before every radio station overplayed his songs. And now that he’s the king of pop, he’s down there with Hillary Duff and all of the other overplayed pop-stars I dislike.
Date: 06/25/06 Title: Chapter 1: Passing the Time with Sheryl Zinn
omg i HATE jesse mccartney hes the biggest loser he thinks hes so cool but hes totally not! ok, um, sorry about all that, the story is really good i loved it what is going to happen with amos diggory? i hate cliffies they drive me insane pleeeeease update soon!
A Few Detentions and A Story by LaneTechFreshie
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: James Potter: Marauder. Lily Evans: Prefect. They're both seventh years at Hogwarts. They're also about to have a pretty interesting year--complete with a few detentions, pranks, confusion, and laughter--in which they get through school, make some trouble and maybe, just maybe, sort out their feelings for each other.
Thanks to all you who have made it possible for this story to be in the Top Tens. It was a very happy moment when I first saw my story on the list, and I love being able to go back and see it there now. Still. Yay!
Throughout the latter half of 2010, and the first half of 2011, I re-edited this story. The changes were mostly to fix stray (and annoying) grammar and spelling errors, but also to rework some plot points in an effort to stay truer to canon. I also updated the style; having written this story so long ago, my writing has definitely developed (and I would say gotten better), so I edited to reflect that. (I apologize for the errors that were in the story before all this editing. I found them immensely distressing when I reread my chapters. Heartbreaking, really.)
Big “thank yous” go to the three people who helped edit/nitpick the first edition of this novel: violagirl, fairiesandcream, and Omagus.
And yes, this story is up on Fanficition.net under the penname: Io.Sono.Emilia.
Of course, as a disclaimer, I’m not JK Rowling. The Potterverse does not belong to me, but I am in it and love it.

hey, did you know W.C. also means toilet in french? just thought i'd mention it.
Author's Response: Does it really? Like \"WC\" means toilet? Or what \"W.C.\" stands for? Interesting....I\'ll have to add that tidbit in. THank you!

Date: 07/01/06 Title: Chapter 5: It's All a Matter of Time

fantastic chapter! rather short, but still very good. is there more soon? please update!
Author's Response: if i can get kathleen to come visit me this weekend, then YES, there will be more soon! it\'s a hypothesis that i plan on proving to be true... hopefully, with any luck, this next chapter will be a bit longer! i personally hope it will be a LOT longer, but we\'ll just have to see which way the wind blows... we\'ve been thinking of a few new ideas that were not originally in our plot plan, so again, we\'ll just have to see! :) thank u so much for the review! enjoy a trip to the leaky cauldron on us (not the website... b/c u know, on mugglenet, that could be bad)! have a LOVELY day! :)

Will the whole thing blow up in his face? . . . Or will Lily have some secrets of her own?
Warnings: Excessive amounts of romance, jealousy, and PMS.
I'm a'comin with the newest chapter!!
Date: 07/07/06 Title: Chapter 8: One Hell of a Hangover
great chapter! poor lily! hey, just a question, where did you get the story name from? i dont really get it. anyways great story, keep going!
Author's Response: I go the name from the song Mr. Brightside by The Killers. The song goes Jealousy, Turning Saints Into the Sea, Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your allibies, but it\'s just the price I pay, destiny is calling me, open up my eager eyes, \'cause I\'m mr. brightside. It\'s basically a song about jealousy because of love and a twisted world, which I thought was very appropriate for my story. ~SM
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping by Werewolf_sympathiser

For Challenge One of the Winter Snows Holiday Challenge, Redemption. May include slight errors in what Draco should and shouldn't know.
