Call me Mari. :)

Need a beta? Contact me; I'll be more than happy to do it!

I have recently returned from a year-long hiatus, but I'm back! I definitely am excited at the prospect of being able to write and to read the fics I love so much. I don't think I can stay away from this site for too long; I just love to write and be able to see my works posted and being critiqued and reviewed. :)

Five of my fics are over a year old, so if you want an accurate representation of my current writing, I do not suggest basing it off of at least the first three of the following list. The oldest to newest of those five are The Secret, Blind, It Means Nothing, Draconis Viridans, and Exposure. To Be Loved in Return was written in a similar time period as that of Exposure, but was not posted until my recent return. My newest fic, written post-hiatus, is Fall For You, which is probably my favorite of them all, though it is a very close call.

Well, I hope you enjoy my fics, and please review, if you do read them. Thank you! :)

Meanwhile, the pair is thrust into many different dangerous and humorous situations with their friends. Will it take a disaster to help Lily believe in true love?

Chasing A Dream by Noldo

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: They looked back and had no regrets, because it was for Remus. A vignette.

Reviewer: pheonixflame Signed
Date: 12/24/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chasing A Dream

Ooh very interesting. I like the spin you took on it. I enjoyed the dedication you showed that they had to their friend, and that you wrote no more and no less than how they fought to become Animagi. I really like this story (even though your profile says you don't). :]

Too Far Gone by Gemmika

Rated: Professors •
Summary: *How far would you go for love?* "If you touch her again, I'll kill you." "Go ahead for I'll come to her again and again." *Is it worth it?* "James leave her alone, she's no good for you." "Don't say a word against Lily!" *Will it last?* "It's forever, I've known it sice the day I met you." "Forever is a long time." "Not if you love someone..." I am finally re-editing this story, please take a look and see all the new stuff!

Oh, very nice ending. And bravo for such a nice story! :]

I don't have much time, or I'd leave a nice, long review but I look forward to reading your other stories soon!

Meant To Be by chloish

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: "What can I say?" James shrugged his shoulders. "We are just obviously,"

"Completely,"

"Irrefutably,"

"Logically,"

"Undeniably,"

"Unfortunately,"

James laughed, "Meant to be."

Lily Evans and James Potter share absolutely nothing in common, not even their feelings for each other. Lily, perceived as a ‘model student,’ detests the handsome, popular, Quidditch star James, who she thinks to be something of a git. James, on the contrary, has been infatuated with Lily for years, and has let her and the whole school know it.

As time progresses into Voldemort’s ‘reign of terror,’ the two have to learn to trust, tolerate, and love each other.

Please note, this story is incomplete, and will likely remain so for a long time. I apologize!

Reviewer: pheonixflame Signed
Date: 12/29/06 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 14 - Time to Waste

I honestly say that I love this story. :D

I love the way it's written, and that Lily didn't discover her love for James and run to him as soon as possible. I like that you made so many twists in here.

I would tell you to update soon, but I think you have a hoard of readers doing that already (my god you have a lot of reviews!) so I'll just say "Listen to your reviewers!" :]

I Loved Him First by Valentinia

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: For Petunia Evans being at Hogwarts is indeed a magical time. Why? Because there, for the first time in her life, she doesn't stand in the shadow of her beautiful sister Lily. That is until she finds herself falling in love with none other than James Potter, Lily's biggest admirer. And this is only the first of the many trials and tribulations Petunia will have to face in a world where peace is a nothing but a memory.

Note: This fic is mostly canon compliant through DH, but has some obvious AU elements, too, though I hope I've explained them all satisfactorily!

Ooh, I like your characterisation of Petunia. The Marauders, too!

Hehe, how you made Petunia all nosy and the like, asking all those stupid questions really caught my eye. She seems like a rather difficult character to pull off, especially in her younger age. It almost makes me want to smack her, simply for the way she acts, prying into everyone's business. It's always a good thing when readers tell you something like this; it means you did a really good job!

The Marauders are often very hard to pull off as well, but you did this well too. Remus' line made me smile and I totally pictured Sirius going "that IS your name, right?". James was cute too. :]

The last few lines, where Petunia told herself to let go of her strict ways and have fun while she could, were very nicely written, too. It's a strong message that encourages Petunia to live life fully. *sighs* Too bad she changed so drastically later on, eh?

Well, very nice job so far! Keep up the good work!

~Mari

Author's Response: Yay! Thanks for the long and kind review! I\'m so glad you like my characterizations, I worked long and hard trying to do the Marauders justice! :D You\'re right though, it\'s too bad she becomes what she is in canon... I hope you read on and find out my take on how! Thanks again!

Phases of the Moon by BlackClaude

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: In Remus Lupin's fifth year at Hogwarts, his devoted friends finally master the complex Animagus spell, beginning the adventures they will remember for the rest of their lives. But Remus must also face prejudice in the rising war, a test of loyalty versus love, and the danger of his dark secret being revealed.

Pet Peeve Disclaimer: Peter is not worthless, Lily does not have three friends who fall for the Marauders, and no one calls Remus "Remy."

Oh wonderful! I was all smiles the previous chapter and I certainly liked this one! You have such a way with words. Honestly, I didn't find a single mistake in here, and I felt like I was reading JKR's work herself! :]

A funny thing is I was just about to review on the previous chapter, and I noticed that chapter 7 had been validated at the exact moment that I had read chapter 6. Nice little coincidence, don't you think?

Can't wait for more - this is definitely going on my favorites!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! You know, reading this was actually how I found out that chapter 7 had been validated!

Something to Think About by chloish

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: It's our favorite couple-to-be's 6th year! Lily is outside studying, and James is playing with that darn snitch again, distracting her. Irritated, she goes to confront him and 'politely' (cough) ask him to stop. Madness ensues, and the two have a civil conversation (gasp!). James ends up giving Lily something to think about, though it may not be exactly what he intended.... [One-shot L/J - fluffy]

Wasted Years by MoonyPadfootProngs

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Sirius reflects on his life as he lives out his lonely twelve years in Azkaban. One-shot Songfic based on Cold's "Wasted Years". (All recognizable characters are owned by JK Rowling)

Reviewer: pheonixflame Signed
Date: 09/20/06 Title: Chapter 1: Wasted Years

wow really good story. i love how you placed the song in, it fit very well. only thing is that sirius ran away at 16 years old, not 13. but otherwise it was flawless. you put the reader in sirius' shoes so well and your description is amazing. :]

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: It's just your average, boring Summer day on Privet Drive. Or is it? Harry is stuck doing another one of his many thankless chores, when he hears something VERY interesting coming from Dudley's room and goes to investigate.

First by Hallie Black

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •

The Princess and the Prat by DanielRadcliffeandMe

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary:

30 July 07: Chapter 15 up and runnin'!! Eventually, 16 forward will post. Thanks you guys - and yay Deathly Hallows! No Spoilers, but definite cannon!!!!!

Even Harry wondered how in the world the obvious loathing Lily felt for James could have turned into a marriage. How could they have loved each other? Well, if this ever bothered or troubled you in the slightest, look no further! 'The Princess and Prat' picks up around the time of the Pensieve Scene in book 5...

Read "The Princess & the Prat" to find out how it all began!!! Also posted on HPFF.com, with over 1110 reviews.

Ohh gosh how sad!

It Didn't Start This Way by Marauder by Midnight

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: James Potter and Lily Evans weren't exactly buddies at first sight. They began virtually as enemies. Gradually, however, they came to respect each other and like each other at Hogwarts. Somehow, that like turned to an eternal love.

Described through the memories of all who knew them, this is the story that follows them through the seven years in Hogwarts, as their rocky relationship develops into a bond that becomes the envy everyone. This is the story that describes the difficulties that they encounter during the terrible years of You-Know-Who's reign. This is the story of the parents of The Boy who Lived. This is the story of the love between Lily Evans and James Potter.

Chapter Five (Friends?) posted - Lily walks into the world she never knew.

Sorry for the (very long) delay.

Ooh bravo. Looks to be a very promising story, yet you have it put off. :[

Hope you'll continue it soon!

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.

oh gosh. can you say cliffhanger? well of course lily will help but...

great story! haha.

“Well, mystery solved,” Sirius said joyfully. “Lily and James went off to snog in a corner somewhere, and Peter went to watch.”
I was cracking up at the thought. Fave quote.

Author's Response: lol im actually really surprised thats such a popular quote! But ive noticed it\'s always the random little things I come up with suddenly and dad in there that everyone seems to love! Meh, I\'ll never understand it :p thanks for the review, Im glad you liked the story!

The Prongs Complex by Cherry and Phoenix Feather

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: James finally asks Lily out. The problem is, he chose a roundabout way of getting to her. Plus, he stands a high risk of breaking his neck in the process. Told from Remus Lupin's POV. Rated 3rd-5th years for slight language and mild innuendo on James's part. One-shot.

A/N: Quick note to all: I am sorry, but there are no plans for a sequel for PC. I hate to disappoint you all, but I feel that the story is better standing alone, leaving the rest to your imaginations.

Ahh, gotta love this story. This is my second review, but I just like this story so darn much! :]

And I think it's best if you leave it as a one-shot; I don't think it would be nearly as heart-warming and happy if it had something added to it.

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.

Ooh I like how you put the little kids in to progress your story on. It's cute how they say it. Geez, those two kids will probably end up going out too!

Author's Response: *zips mouth* Can\'t give away the story. Hehe. I love the little kids too. I\'ve got a few plots for them. :-)

What the Papers Say by Catrin

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: We've seen Hagrid's rage, we've felt Harry's betryal, but there were more there that day, when the man face the rat. A muggle's confusion, a mother's pain, they were all there that day, when the man faced the rat

My son, my beautiful son...

Obliviate him…

And do you know what he did then? He laughed. He stood there and laughed.

How sad!

But very well written, I think. It's just like Remus to try to find the hidden explanation. And I think you portrayed Mrs. Pettigrew's thoughts and actions very, very well. It was like reading her diary.

I especially liked the random diary entry in there. Lots of emotion, and it seems like something one would actually have found in a journal.

Very nice. :]
