Beautiful banner made by WhittyLeah!
Hey, I'm Erin. I'm 16 years old and am either writing, studying like crazy (since school has now started) or doing photomanipulation in my free time so any banner on here not credited was probably done by me. I'm a member of Hufflepuff on the forums, though I don't seem to be able to stay very active on there, and below is a list of my Works In Progress. I hope you enjoy what you read in my stories!
I am indeed a proud member of the Poetry Club! I've thought about submitting poetry on here but none of it's Harry Potter related soo... that wouldn't really work, would it? ;-x
Updates: December 1, 2007:
Death Wish: There should be about 20 to 22 chapters for this story and chapter 12 just got accepted so feel free to check out that update and review! :p I'll be sending chapter 13 into my betas for comments and corrections, but since I've made the changes I like it shouldn't take that long to get the next chapter posted unless the mods find something that my betas miss. Like always, feel free to email me if you just want to discuss ideas that you think could improve the story or just leave a review if you're too lazy to click the "contact" button right above this huge paragraph. Lol. Either way, I hope you check out my stories and enjoy them when you do.
When Impossible becomes Reality: This is the first part of a series that I have decided to write, dedicated to Luna and my original character, Noah. This first, very short story of about 5 to 6 chapters is meant to explain how Luna and Noah first met in a rather entertaining and (dare I suggest it) comical way. I'm proud to say that so far I have made it on my own, without a beta and chapter 3 has been accepted. I only have a few more corrections to make before submitting chapter 4. I have all the chapters written up to chapter 5 so the story is basically done and just needs to get posted. There should be two more, much longer stories following this one and I hope you all enjoy!
Gah! This can't possibly be a one shot! Do you realize how perfect of a story this would make? How dare you toture us with only one chapter??
I don't like begging more than I like reasoning with people buutt.... OMG! YOU HAVE TO WRITE ANOTHER CHAPTER! Do you want me to sue you?? Lol.
Please think about it?
Author's Response: Ha ha! Don\'t worry, I am thinking about it. It\'s just with school and my other WIPs, and limited computor time I don\'t know if I\'ll be able to. If I do, however, it won\'t be until later on this year, definetely no time soon.
Wow. That was very deep and very sad. You did a good job of showing how their relationship crumbled slowly by slowly, by switching between past tense where time would fly by and then the present, showing what part we were up to.
Enjoyed it very much and I hope you get more reviews. As a fellow writer, I know how important those are. Lol.

Author's Response: Thanks. I thought about all the switching and explaining really carefully. I wanted to provide a lot of detail, and really freeze the moments of their friendship, but I wanted to explain how and why it happened, and I\'m glad you thought it worked.
Cute first chapter. This looks like it shall be an interesting story. How many chapters are you planning on having? Shall it be a long or short story?
Loved the descriptions and how you've already made Lily and James not get along but not HATE eachother so that will make it easier for you and not seem so unrashional for us, when you get James and Lily to start getting along better. -wink, wink-
This was truly enjoyable. Update soon and I hope you get many more reviews.

Author's Response: Thanks very much. I\'m only planning on about 8 or 9 chapters, so a pretty short story. I\'m not a great romanticist so it\'s only a bit of fun for me really, and I don\'t expect it to be my best story.
I think the plot is going to be fun to play with though, so I hope to write pretty quickly. Thanks very much for your review! xx
Very creative and refreshing. I had forgotten about that small detail mentioned in the book and I think it's very creative that you chose to continue on with it.
You did a very interesting job of bringing up things that seemed to constantly remind them of their daughter and then the voice in their head would point them in a different direction. Lovely, lovely.
And this is your first fan-fic, too? Well good luck on future ones as well. From the way your writing style was displayed in this one, I would say you defanitly have a knack for this.
I hope you also get lot smore reviews since they do seem to be so desired by we authors, don't they? Thank-you for the entertainment.

Author's Response: Thank you very much for your support! It is indeed my first fic on this site – even though it’s not the very first overall. I have been writing for quite a long time already; I’m just lacking experience in writing in English (it is not my native, you see). I’m still having a language problem, but now it’s getting better, I hope :)
I must confess that this story is rather unusual for me. I decided to write this fic because I was really struck by Hermione’s actions. They just felt so wrong to me, even creepy. And then I noticed that in the Wizarding world it is a very common practice to alter human minds – the ‘good’ guys do it as often as the ‘bad’ ones – which is rather disturbing, to my opinion. So I just ought to write it.
Absolutely touching. You did an excellent job of envoking their emotions of need and longing upon us readers, and even though I was doubtful what someone could do in 700+ words at first, you fulfilled those emotions quite nicely. Another great story to enjoy by Subversa.
