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...

Author's Response: Thanks, I\'m glad you enjoyed the beginning.
Date: 01/31/07 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Aunt Hannah is One Smart Muggle
WOHO! Go Ginny! have her grow her hair out agian too! and more Harry! Also, for future writtings, please explain more about the kids and have them more unique instead of one big group with multiple mouths.UPADTE SOON!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: It would be good to add more personality to the kids, but with so many of them, it\'s harder to do, especially since this is more of a story about Harry/Ginny than there kids, and of course, Lily. The sequel to this story will have more of the kids though. Thanks for the review.
Author's Response: *Than about their kids, sorry, I type too fast for my own good

Simply wonderful! (apart form the few spelling problems) I cannot stress enough how sad I was to have this come to end, but It was a fantastic ending, you have such a magnificent talent for writing comidic underlines with a well wrought and thoughtful plot. Congratulations!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I know, I couldn\'t spell to save my life-- I\'m glad you liked the story anyway!
A Black Destiny by Sly Severus
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: The time has come. Bellatrix is finally being initiated into the Death Eaters. But was it really what she wanted? Was she really meant to follow the Dark Lord?
Written by Sly Severus of Slytherin for the Gauntlet's 3rd run
Date: 12/21/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Intriguing take on Bella (and, suprisingly, Rodulfous, please expand on this character, you could do alot with him and giving him a past would open up a whole new level of fic ideas for Bella) and it was beautiffully written *curtsies and smirks* as always. You did a realistic and rather creative redition of the initiation ceremony, consider sparking a set of one-shots devoted to how different characters dealt with this (speciffically the question, this was probably the element that fascinated and intrigued readers the most). Yet you still leave Voldemort one dimensional. An attribute to a great author is thier ability to give even the most menial characters life, with a past, a future, and emotions to relay on, not just a a blank face. Keep up the good work!
~The Tainted One
P.S.
Sorry for blasting you with reviews today, I've been meaning to put up some reviews for my Favorites FOREVER...stupid doctors, need to quit arguing and make a decision! (speaking of, please stop by http://www.ednf.org to support the cause!)...so today is my catch up day as they have atleast agreed on the fact that I'm stable. Anyhow, if you get annoyed with the adolescent babble of a 15 year old, feel free to tell me to shut my trap...I swear I won't be offended, I get that alot actually...
Author's Response: Are you kidding? I love reviews. I was thrilled when I logged on and saw all the new ones. Please feel free to blast away. And I hope you\'re feeling better soon. :D
For the story, the theme wasn\'t my idea. This was a Gauntlet entry. Meaning it was written in different sections, I received a prompt for each section and had to work my story around it. I don\'t like the end because it goes against what I believe about Bella, but it fit the prompt so that was what I did. Also, thanks for your feedback on Rodolphus. I write him different ways and I\'m currently trying to figure out which way is best.
Thanks for another lovely review. :D
To Be Or Nott To Be by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Theodore Nott has never had much respect for anyone but himself. But after being summoned by Lord Voldemort to join the Death Eaters, his world turns upside down, and he finds himself questioning everything, including his own values and beliefs. Darkish, but with surprisingly light and fluffy bits, kind of like my Dad's pancakes or a truly hideous dress that my Mum once bought for me.
Written by Schmerg_The_Impaler from Hufflepuff House for the Gauntlet's 3rd run. Whoot!

SEQUEL PLEASE!
Author's Response: YAAAY! This is my least-reviewed story, but I\'m rather fond of it.
In any case, you will see more from Theo and November as soon as the next Gauntlet challenge occurs...

YIPES!! SO SORRY! sometimes I double click the submit button when I only ned to do it once...live and learn, right? I'll try not to do it agian...*swats at keyboard and glares* ya hear that?! no double clicking, Qwerty!
Author's Response: That\'s okay, it happens to everyone! (I once triple-posted... EEK!)
Date: 12/28/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Adventures of a Self-Centred Cynic
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WRITE A SEQUEL! this was really awesome, your crude humor beautifully complimented your story, which, though not hopelesssly romantic, did retain a very smooth/delicate tone of love, loss, and sacrifice...job well done!
~The Tainted One
P.S.
thanx a million and 3/4 times for reviewing my poem...no one EVER reviews poetry...whats up with that?!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! That was a very detailed and complimentary review that really made my day.

A Different Sort of Peace by Vindictus Viridian
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: At some point there had to have been a choice.
The logical place to begin a story is at the point of the first decision. But what if there were no decisions? What if, at every point, there was only one possible act? What if the story simply cannot be told?
Completed (though not posted) entirely pre-DH.
Date: 06/29/07 Title: Chapter 13: Saturday
Lovely written , as usual...these past couple of chapters have all been rather brilliant, and your metaphor on the 'kernel' (though slightly overused) was magnificent, perhhaps during the trial we shall see a rose bloom of this curious seed of emotion. I also would like to suggest a day devoted to Ginny, and her thoughts on this ...curious...situation...perhaps during the trial, you could arrange a sort of 'mirror' chapter with Ginny's thoughts and feelings on all the goings on, reflected in Severus's opinions...a kind of switch-back between two copletly different peoples. keep up the good work friend!
Date: 06/29/07 Title: Chapter 14: Sunday
I have always been found of your church scenes. The symbolism inbeded within each foriegn thought of 'something greater' held close by ritual.
And really, aren't we all hypocrites for entering a holy place each Sunday as a chore instead of the higher calling we seek and claim we know?
Date: 01/29/07 Title: Chapter 8: Tuesday
Delightfully wicked...I do enjoy your stories, so update soon! And keep delving further into Severus's past...and Ginny's, she's developing nicley as a character, but it would be interestin to see her life with Harry and the others as well as her thoughts on Snape. ANother suggestion, keep up the religious/philisophical thoughts within Snape, it not only creats more intriguie and scincerity in your character, but also allows you to interpret your own feelings and opinions, hence the great calling of writting and the arts: So that others may live, and that they may learn why.
~The Tianted One
Author's Response: There\'s so much I could put in here, but there\'s also a strong chance of too much detail. Conversations have a fundamental tendency to never be as rich as they could be; I\'m trying to leave the gaps in purposeful places rather than out of carelessness, but nobody\'s perfect. Involving Ginny\'s time with Harry is tricky with the current POV, as Severus so emphatically doesn\'t want to know! But bits will sneak in from time to time. Harry is being treated by Severus much as Severus is treated by Harry in canon -- an annoyance to be avoided whenever possible and to be thought about as little as possible! Thanks for reviewing; I get all sorts of good thoughts and tips out of you.
Date: 01/05/07 Title: Chapter 6: Sunday
*smiles widly* yay! another amgnificinet chapter. You've voiced many thoughts and notions I myself have often pondered, so congrats. As for bringing up the Tonks thing agian, though...*eye twitches* and I had just statrted sleeping well agian!!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: *snicker* And you\'re only just now guessing that I\'m evil? Thanks for reviewing!
Date: 12/31/06 Title: Chapter 1: The First Day
WOWOWOW! I'm lovin it so far...well done, you really get inside nape's mind, and incorperating muggle law into the wizarding world, was done well and subtly...as for Ginny, she's great, I really love how you take us inside Azkaban and into the mind of one of HP's most intriuging characters...though you do seem to drag on a bit, don't get me wrong, cause it's all very well done, but we hardly have any information and were already 5 chapies in! you'll get to it though! *looking around eagrly for a new update to the fic*
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Thanks! No, there really isn\'t much information yet, is there?
Date: 02/03/07 Title: Chapter 9: Wednesday
Wow, a truly gruely pain for Severus, if only it were those memories that had been mauled and swept away by the dementors's poisened tounges...Alas. Well, you've yet to really bring out a solid Snape, one rather independant on reader's viewing of your previous stories (all jems, by the way!). You've also yet to place empasis on Ginny as more than a fantasy of Snape and a kind face in his solitude. Delve more into her personal, her emotions...you did quite well in the last chapter with her boggart. And keep drawing more on the goings on outside of Azkaban. Oh, and before I forget, I was rather dissappointed in this chapter, I think it could have been really great, the content was hearty and the emotions well translated, but you seemed to lack your usual suspense, intriuge, and passion...it seemed rather rushed, and not quite as eleoquent as your other work. I;ve no doubt it will transform into something spectatcular though! All of your stories have that innate quality :)
~The Tainted One
P.S.
I've a favor to ask, I worte a one-shot/song-fic recently that seems rather up your ally, and it would mean tons if you would critique! AND UPDATE THIS FIC SOON! (make the next chapter REALLLY long...this one is probably the shortest chapter you've ever written...ever...)
Author's Response: Rushed? Hmm. And here I was afraid it was too slow. It\'s actually longer than Sunday, and considerably longer than a few of my one-shots, so what it means that it seemed the shortest has been puzzling me for days! And I\'ll try to have a look at your fic, though I\'m terrible at actually reviewing things. I\'d blame it on modding, but was terrible even when I wasn\'t a mod! Thanks!
Date: 01/09/07 Title: Chapter 7: Monday
WOW! Excelent! You most definitly depend on readers having to have read your other stories though...good job though. Beautifully written.
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: So I hear -- it\'s hard to clean the old fics out of the memory banks when I sit down to write a new one, even to the point where I can say, \"You know, I should probably say more to explain...\" Thanks for reviewing!
Blood Ties by Sly Severus
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: A young woman feels as though she has lost it all, until she accidently runs into someone from her past.

Awww...*sniffles*...that *sniffles* is so *sniffles* sweet! *blows nose hard...eww...* a very different take on your part, and the transitions between the points of view of your characters were seamless, and eloquently placed...congratulations *curtsies* agian *rolls eyes at lack of better words*...
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review. I\'m glad that you enjoyed it.
