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...
This was a really great lil' fic, your Molly Weasly was very well done! your Severus is, as always, fantastic. I am slightly dissapointed how you wielded Sirius though...you leave him so, blank...just an angry face and nothing more...build on him, you'd write a great Sirius fic!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! Sirius gives me difficulty, especially since I\'m so often writing him from the POV of someone who mistrusts him. I tried to write up a character sheet for him once, on notebook paper, and Severus wouldn\'t let me leave a blank for good points.
WOW! I love your Bella stories, you really capture the character and give her dimensions *curtsies and inclines head* excellent job.
Personally though, I think that you should add a few accompanying oneshots to this; either expand on Bella's emotion in the after-life, explain the feeling of death, or (if yoiu don't do this, please give me permission) have the voice that said 'Avada Kedavra" be Lucius (escaped from Azkaban) and/or Andromeada (searching for her crazed though still beloved siblings) and the curse was aimed at Rodulfus who was never dead to begin with but only stunned and hiding in the shadows. Then Lucius can comfort Bella and bring back her sanity or Andy can bring Bella home to comfort her, or Nymphadora can bring her to Azkaband where she losses the last dredges of her sanity. OR enter Narcissa who is stunned and then mortified when she finds Bella rocking Andromeada's dead body!
But it would still be fantabulous (is that even a word?) if you were to leave it as it was...I personally think that you should expand more on Rodulfus in the future though. As of now, in all of your stories you leave him as a one dimensional figure...he's unduly cruel, crazed, and controlling...but why? what happened in his past? Explore his true feelings for Bella and the Dark Lord...I think that you'd do great on a fic going back and forth between a selection of the Death Eaters (I'm thinkin' Bella, Draco, Rodulfus, Lucius, Nott, Snape, and Voldy) reflecting on thier feelings, past, future, and present at the start of the Final Battle.
Your an AMAZING writter, I look forward to many more sinisterly picturesque fables from you...
~The Tainted One
P.S.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR REVIEWING MY POEM! YOU ARE MY HERO!
Author's Response: Hmmm...well, the voice that said Aveda Kedavra was Bella\'s. She couldn\'t bare what she had done to her sister with Rodolphus\' voice taunting her and she gave up.
And yes, Rodolphus is a bit of a problem for me. I struggle with figuring out who his character is. He\'s hard for me, but I am tryingt to figure him out, since he\'s such a huge part of Bella\'s life.
Again, thanks so much for the review. :D
interesting, though I do think that there are several problems with rythem that could have been easilly fixed, such as; you better watch out,
you better not lie,
you better bail out
I'm telling you why,
Voldemort is coming to town.
or
he'll kill you while your sleeping,
he'll kill when you're awake,
he knows if you are bad or good
so be bad for Merlin's sake.
or
with murder and pain,
that flow in his wake,
Voldemort is coming to town.
Author's Response: :D Rythem is not a strength of mine. I don\'t even remember what possessed me to try this. :p
Sequel to More than a Feeling
*Chapter 10 is 'A Wedding and a Funeral'*
YAY! great story, all of your words are so delicatly wrought! Tobias's death was rather sudden, though expected, and Severus's emotions were accurate and beautiful, though I did feel as though you rather avoided an extreme exploration of Eillene's and Severus's feelings...but it was beatifully done (as always) so congratulations :) ans HAVE MORE FENRIR!! (*smiles sheepishly* him and Siri are my favorite!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: There will be more Fenrir, I promise, before the story ends. As for exploring reactions to Tobias\' death, I think mother and son are far too self-controlled to \'talk it out\' or reveal any deep, hidden feelings. They move on and deal with things in their own ways. Severus\' happens to shake chandeliers, ;)
OH! GOOD WORK, and update more soon. also, have more Fenrir!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Thank you, I will, now that I\'m down to one story in the Marauder cat....and you\'ll definitely see Fenrir again! ^_^
*tehe* oppsies about that whole submitting twice thing...hehehe...well, anyhoo, great job, and I love the languages yoiu inccorperated into the fic, it really brings the story to life!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m so glad you love the Welsh. It was a lot of fun doing research!
Too true about Harry! Still, I don't ever think that Eris/Epis would ever allow Sevy to be so cruel to someone as Snape is to Harry...Thank you very muchly for adressing my questions/comments, and for reviewing my poem! :D Update soon, and most importantly, if ever you have time, consider writing a fic on Tome Wilkes, you've made quite an interseting character out of him! (Great song by the way, really suites Eris, ohh! and befor I forget, keep on developing the Murdoug family, they are beciming quite fascinating...)
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: I think a lot of how Harry is treated is pov, his versus the person responding to him and if you only knew what Snape or Malfoy or Umbridge even, had to say, lol. I\'m sure Snape would put any remonstrations he gives in a much different light than Harry would shed upon the subject, lol. It\'s human nature. :D

~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Huzzah for you hitting submit twice so I could say Thanks! ^_^
Please, please, PLEASE say your going to make this fic at least 27 chapters long! and update every week...and have more Tom... :D
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: There will be more Tom, but this fic will be ten chapters with at least a one shot following. I\'ll have another chap up soon, though, if that cheers. ^_^
Ohhh, this is such a marvelous companion to your original story! Eris is beautifully done, yet I feel as though your making her slightly to dependant on Severus...anyhooo, please continue with this story, the proffessor at Hogwarts has no cat...it would be interesting to see what tragic event leads to Eris/Severus's demise, this would also explain Snape's sour temper...another triumph all in all, but everyones hanging on for more, especially your truly, I want to know what happens with Tom and Fenrir! so keep it up!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Who says Severus has no cat? :D He has no cat that Harry knows of. I slip a Sirius/Rosmerta pairing ( even Tonks and Remus during GoF and OotP!) through the canon loophole...in Kerichi terms, as long as Harry doesn\'t know, it isn\'t beyond the realm of possibility. ^_~
As for Eris, she has skills, she could leave, but she chooses to stay. I prefer to think of them as interdependent, but she does fit the song \'One Thing\' If I traded it all...If I gave it all away for one thing...Just for one thing...If I sorted it out...If I knew all about this one thing Wouldn’t that be something...
YAY! Rather good, and I would like more with the dragons, with them showing deeper philosophy and notion than Severus origionally saw...Mordred is reat, I quite like him so keep developing!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Maybe I should write a Charlie one shot from a dragon\'s point of view, lol. I\'m very fond of Mordred, but next chapter will find Snape in London with \"a real job\" and realising it does not exceed expectations! :)
YAY!!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Yay\'s are contagious....Yay! :D
Ohh, very good! I love Fenrir, giving him a dak and twisted pain wasz a wise decision and not overly done, so congratulations! I'll be expecting more from yoiu soon!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Fenrir without any reason for his feral, twisted nature is a caricature instead of a character. Understanding his reasons for being the way he is makes him more real, and even scarier! Thank you!
*tumultous applause* that was really beautiful and truly explains alot about the sisters. I think this same story in Bella PoV would be great, just to give her more than a blank face obsessed with power.
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Normally I write in Bella\'s POV, but somehow it seemed that this story needed to be in Andromeda\'s POV. Although, I assure Bella was thinking about a lot more than power. ;)
Thanks for the review.
Fairly good, I do hope it's not finishedd yet, though...brining Andy into the plot would be great! This fic wasn't as indepth as your others, but it is still fantastic! keep up the good work.
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: No, it\'s not finished. There\'s more to come...:D
Thanks for the review.
Beautifully done, though I do think that a little more explaination is in order before an ending.
Author's Response: Thanks. Could you tell me what was unclear?
Oh, brilliantly wrought.
Author's Response: Heh, thanks! What a wonderfully terse review.
hmmm...intriguing. Personally I think an exploration of Lucius's biological family,his realtionship with Aethonia and his dark objects collection are all in order! Keep up the good work, oh! befor I forget, WRITE MORE NOVEMBER/THEO FICS!
~The Tainted One
P.S. new fic up!
Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much! By the way, another Theo fic is coming soonish, though November\'s part isn\'t QUITE as big. I will be sure to check out your story!
Ohhh...eerie...I like!
~The Tainted One
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m glad you enjoyed it.
Awwww....so sad...beautiful and sadistic! OHH!! GREAT IDEA! : What if yoiu did a little twist on this fic, (maybe not fully explain the 'incident' leave something for the imagination) but what if...TONKS is Bella's daughter!!
~The Tianted One
Author's Response: Ha! That is so weird. I actually thought of that just a few days ago. I thought it would be an interesting idea. I don\'t think I\'ll ever use it though. It just doesn\'t seem to fit into anything. I definitly wouldn\'t use it with this story. It was meant to be a tragedy.
Anyway, thanks for the review. I\'m glad you liked it, even without a few twists.
