Hi, all!
My name's Taylor, and basically I'm an art loving, accident prone, outdoors lover who can't spell to save her life (how ever did I pass the second grade?). I'm a 15 year old witch with my nose constantly in a book unless of course I'm writing my own, shopping, sleeping, eating, or talking ( which I do quite alot of actually...).
That just about sums it up...so, (once the little-peolpe-in-my-head stop arguing and decide to take that time and actually send in a fic,) please review, even if only to say how much you hate me, I'll do the same for you! And remember, though reviews are much appreciated, this is mostly just for my own personal well being (the-little-people-in-my-head liked the site and told me to join). L8R and keep in mind I'll probably have some fanfics up really, really REALLY soon...really....
GENERAL DISCLAIMER: I niether own, nor am economically profiting from the fantastical world of Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. do...I just live there..., so if you have any issues, go rant at them, though I do occasionaly use tid-bits of other songwriters/authors in my work, basically anything/anyone else is mine, (especially Acris, as she's basically me...) so NO TOUCHY!!!
~Taylor A. A.
P.S.
In case your wondering, I choose my penname because a while ago I was diagnosed with ADHD (big suprise there...) and a severe genetic mutation of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (which is some rare freaky collogan thingy that makes my body about as stable as your average rubberband) type 3 and Genome 13 (visit http://www.ednf.org for more info and to support the cause/spread the word!). Hence, 'Venia' is Latin of 'Grace' meant to be symbolic of innocence, wisdom, insperation and divinty whil e taint, well, that's pretty self explanatory, so if you don't get it, I'd suggest trip to St. Mungo's...really nice place actually, the little-people-in-my-head say they like the squishy walls...

I cannot believe you did that to poor Remy and Tonks, honestly, those two are just ridiculous! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!! *runs after you with large/spikey object*...
You write beautifully, I loved this scene, frustruating as it was, it has suspense, emotion, and even humor, which you incorperated wonderfully to compliment and support you characters. The plot thickens! Great job! *swats you over the head in congratulations* opps...sorry *shrugs* forgot I had a mace in that hand...

In the Eyes of Others by Vindictus Viridian
Rated: Professors •Summary: Severus has never seen the appeal of repetition, particularly of things that ended badly the first time. In his life, he has kept one pet, owned one broom, and had one close friend.
Winner of Mod Quicksilver Quill for Best Novel! Thanks, all!
Rating and warnings do not apply to all chapters; I just didn't want anyone hooked and then shocked.
"What is it?" His mother held out her hand, and he put the letter in it wordlessly. "Are you eleven already?"
His father lowered the newspaper to look at the calendar. "Yesterday. ‘Appy birthday." And that was the end of that.
Date: 12/30/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Letter
I really really really REALLY love this fic, it's truly amazing...your portrayal of Severus is fantastic, especially his relationship with James, Lily (you do an excellent job on thier interactions together and really explain alot about Snapey and his feelings towards Harry) and your Narcissa/Bella/Andy work is fantastical. Please consider expanding on severus and Dumbledore, I think youd be really good at that...as for ink, and his representation as Snape's mirror image, excellent...I also enjoy the scenes in which you pay Lucius, you do so very delicatly and quit well, it explains alot about his troubles with Draco...as for Hadrien, that was a truly touching scene...*sniffle*...I cried for hours. Keep up the GREAT work!

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing (a lot, at that)! Still writing away; it seems to be a compulsion of sorts. I hope you keep enjoying it!

Wait a minute...did Malfoy, like RAPE Snape?!?
Author's Response: Was it really that unclear?

The ode to Odo by Erik
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: This is my verison of the song Slugtorn and Hagrid sang that night after Aragog's funeral. Odo himself, as well as the entire last paragraph, belongs to Rowling.
Date: 12/30/06 Title: Chapter 1: The ode to Odo
YAY! a great poem, one to just make you laugh, and it really fits well into the sixth book, I can imagine Hagrid and Slughorn bealching this out drunkenly!
GREAT JOB!

*Ch 20 Quote*
It was the happiest Christmas of my life.
Date: 12/31/06 Title: Chapter 1: Moonlight and Roses
YAY! I love your Remus/Tonks fics! Another triumph...the bits you did with the concert were really well done, and the 'Little Red' allusions were absolutly fantastic! They really brought your fic to life, your writting is amazing, and as for that book that Remus's mom wrote, so sweet, *sniffles* made me want to cry...and the scene in the night club, LUV IT! It was really well written and had alot of clues embedded within, you did tend to carry on in parts of this fic though, you eventually fixed that though and left yourself with a clean cut story with no loose ends, and still room for a sequel! fantastic writting, and even better love scenes, Tonks loosing her memory :D All of your characters seemed very well developed, except for your OC (the missing girl who was with drummer, her name escapes me)...apart from that though, well done!

Author's Response: Happy New Year! Thanks for the concrit along with the compliments and double thanks for taking the time to review. I hope you had a fab New Year\'s Eve and a great New Year!

I absolutly LUV Mione/Vicktor stories, and this one was espcially fantastical! Please consider writing a series tracking the Mione/Vicky ship...you write beautifully, keep up the good work (I am especially fond of the scenes in the Library and the Durmstrang boat scene :D)

More Than a Feeling by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
Severus Snape has ambitions to rise above his humble beginnings. Eris Greyback has a family debt to repay. Their romance is a more complicated brew than the trickiest of potions. SSEG, LEJP. The sequel, The Potions Master's Apprentice, is also complete.

Date: 12/05/06 Title: Chapter 21: Surprises
YAY!!! I'm the first to R&R!!! Great job, I love your descriptions in the fluff, scences, they're so hopelessly romatic, keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Three cheers for you being the first reviewer! Huzzah, Huzzah, Huzzah! Thanks...and for enjoying the fluffy moments. :)
Date: 01/03/07 Title: Chapter 24: Decisions
This is probably one of my favorite fics of ALL TIME! your characters are really well developed, and you make some key points as to relationships that occur with Severus in the HP books...Your writing is gorgeous, and the Greyback family adds so much depth and meaning and explanation to the books, keep up the fantastic job! The only thing I'm dissapointed about is Sirius, yoiu represent him as such a...blank...character, just a face with a voice and nothing behind it, very little expression or reason...all in all a fantastic piece though! and I absolutly love the Greyback house scenes; they'r well put together and really openup alot about the characters...keep on writting (I'd like to see a Tom Wilkes fic personally) and best wishes in the New Year!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Wow, thank you for the nice compliments! As for Sirius, yes, exactly, to Severus (Eris too, really) he has no reason for acting the way he does than a rabid (pun intended) dislike of Slytherin in general and Snape in particular!
If you ever read the Sirius fic Semi Charmed Life you\'ll see that Snape comes across as a snarky git to prank to Sirius and a boy to be pitied to Rosmerta, but doesn\'t have much of a role in that story, because he just wasn\'t that important. What is primary is Sirius\' friends and girl.
In this story Black is despised, but this is seventh year--Severus has his future...and a girl...on his mind.
Thanks for bringing that up. I love to talk stories...as you can prolly tell....:D
A Furry Little Problem by Vindictus Viridian
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: The young and bored Sirius Black amuses himself with the top hat in his closet, inspired by the nefarious influence of Muggle television. **Warning -- natural rabbit behaviour within**
Date: 01/03/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Not my favorite...it was good, yet it tended to drag in places, and slow in picking up, it was amusing, but you still leave Sirius a blank character...you show very little emotion with him, apart from boredom, keep developing him...I liked your fic over all though!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: I have to admit -- I find Sirius to be one of those Really Hard To Write characters. Probably because I spend so much time with Severus. Still, I\'m glad you liked it overall. Thanks for reviewing!
A Broken Heart by Bryant
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Severus Snape has secretly admired Lily Evans for a while now. He risks humiliation from the two people he hates most at Hogwarts (James and Sirius), to tell Lily how he feels. Only he finds himself with a broken heart.
Date: 12/30/06 Title: Chapter 1: A Broken Heart
*sniffles* so sad :( well written though :) and as for Sevy, wonderful portrayal, it really explains his feelings for Lily as well as his loathing/love for Harry...good job.

Curves by Vindictus Viridian
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Lily returns to Hogwarts at the beginning of her sixth year and discovers how inconvenient it is to be sixteen, pretty, and Muggleborn.
Date: 01/03/07 Title: Chapter 1: Curves
Awwww, how sweet! I absolutly love this fic, and i think every girl can relate!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Thanks! There\'s a tendency to write Lily as being perfect, or nearly so, and I think she just works better if she\'s a nice person who has the occasional PMS moment, a conflict with a teacher, unwelcome attention from more than just James, and so on. \"Give your character some flaws,\" we say, as though there\'s some sort of character-creation recipe book, but really, I think it goes better to give a character a bad day now and again and a few things she just doesn\'t know yet. I\'m glad you loved it!
