Why, hello there! I am FenrirG, but everyone around here knows me as Fenn. I'm a proud Ravenclaw over on the beta boards, and am also a PI Accredited Beta Reader. I'm a member of SBBC, and absolutely love writing and fanfiction of all sorts.
Ahem. More about me, you ask? The truth is, I'm not too fond of giving out personal information. (Understatement of the year) But here are the essentials:
I ship Lily/James and Dramione. I have an unhealthy obsession with werewolves. I love Romance and Maurader Era fics. I was the June Ravenclaw of the Month, and won the Gauntlet Round 4. I love my Turnips!
Now, as for my stories. I have four chaptered fics up currently: Fenrir, Barmy With Love, Peeves and the Blue Fairy, and The Lycanthrope and the Leper. However, the first three are currently on hiatus, as I'm very engrossed with the L and L.
There was a little Ravensprout
Her name was FenrirG
And she thought that Turnip-Land
Was the best place to be
The other 'Claws were kind to her
And taught her all they knew
Now she's a juicy Turnip
Who will do the same for you

The Unseemly Proposal by sparx
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: The reign of Voldermort comes to an end, and with it ends the prestige and power Lucius Malfoy once had in the Wizarding World. In order to regain the respect of his fellow wizards and to make them believe that he has turned over a new leaf (which he actually hasn't) and has graciously accepted muggles and Mudbloods, Lucius asks Hermione, a Mudblood, to marry his son, Draco, a pure-blood. Obviously, they both refuse, but Lucius isn't going to give up easily. After all, he wants his status back. He still has a few tricks up his sleeve and is determined to play match-maker. What happens next is a series of events that serve only to bring Hermione and Draco closer, both literally and figuratively speaking. Read to find out how this one unseemly proposal causes absolute chaos in their lives! THIS STORY IS NOT HBP and DH COMPATIBLE! Hey all! Check out my personal info for the expected date of the next update. =)
Date: 02/02/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1- The Unexpected Visit
This is fabulous--my favorite fanfic by far! 10+++, I love it!
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."
Date: 02/24/07 Title: Chapter 8: The Moonlit Battle
Hi, BlackClaude!
I doubt you remember, but I'm your fan from over at the beta boards. =P
As I said there, your story is absolutely enchanting. I love it, and especially how you've characterized Remus, the rest of the Mauraders, and Lily. They seem so real and lifelike, and you truly did capture Remus' thoughts and feelings.
I absolutely love werewolf stories, so needless to say "Phases of the Moon" is on my favorites list. Great job, and I can't wait til your story is updated! =)))
~FenrirG
Author's Response: Of course I remember, you saved my chapter! Thanks so much for your lovely review; I\'m glad I could satisfy a werewolf fan. :)
MOMENTS OF BLISS by moonymaniac
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Remus Lupin is a man with a tragic past, filled with pain, suffering and sorrow. But it is also a past filled with great adventure, true friendship and…love? Even though the odds were against him, Remus found happiness at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had the Marauders, he was a prefect and his transformations were less horrible, thanks to his Animagi friends. What more could a teenage werewolf want? And how long could his happiness last? Remus and the Marauders prove that in the saddest of lives and darkest of times, there can still be moments of bliss.
Remus centric but with a lot of the other Marauders. This story is a romance, but has almost as much general Marauder era background and side story as romance.
Pre-HBP and DH, so some things from DH will be disregarded, as the warning indicates, but some Spoilers will be incorporated.
Date: 04/17/07 Title: Chapter 42: Out of His Mind
Oh, moony!
I knew that this chapter would be amazing, but you've really, truly outdone yourself this time! *sighs*
Remus' father is so kind and so very wise; he's such a sweetheart, just like Remus. I'm still in awe of his wise and wonderful words. (Ooh, alliteration! *rolleyes*) I think you've developed his character beautifully, and it's so touching to see their close-knit and lovely relationship. *squees* They're both just so amazing!
Now... I do believe that Remus made a good choice not to tell her, though I dearly wish that he would. But his father is completely right on all counts, and he should let her mature a little bit before telling her.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot. =) The little Sirius vs. Remus confrontation in the beginning was a very nice touch. So many fics portray the Mauraders’ relationship as perfect, but we all know that even the tightest friendships can be rocky at times. You portrayed Sirius very well; stubborn and headstrong, but bringing up excellent points as well. And James was hilarious!
One little observation, though. Remus is in his 6th year, I believe, but doesn’t the werewolf prank occur in fifth year? (Correcty if I’m wrong--my memory is known to be faulty at times!) If so, then Snape would already know about Remus’ Lycanthropy. If not... Forget I said anything! =P
Well... Like I said, this chapter was just as (if not more) amazing as the rest of your story. Great job, and I can’t wait for more!
*hugs* Fenn
Author's Response: Thank you , Fenn. :) I\'m so pleased that you like Remus\' dad. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing him so I\'m glad to know you like the way I\'ve portayed him. I\'m also glad you like the dynamic with Sirius and Remus. I think they are such different personalities that there would be some conflict from time to time and it is important to their story given that Sirius actually suspects Remus eventually. Okay, I could talk about that stuff forever, but should try to get some writing done so I\'ll shut up. The thing with the prank I discussed in the A/N. Thanks for pointing out that confusion so I could address it. Thank you for another wonderful review. :)
Date: 02/11/07 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue: Notes on a Life
Wow. I cannot tell you how much I *adore* this story. I literally could not stop reading it; it is definitely one of the best fanfictions I have ever read.
I just love how you were able to capture so many elements of life in the story. Sadness, prejudice, and irony, but also humor and friendship and romance. I think you're one of the few people who are actually able to make the characters come alive. I absolutely love Lindi, loathe Darlene (in a good way, of course--I don't like the character, but you wrote her wonderfully), and enjoy the way you've characterized the Maurauders--and especially Lily, she seems so lifelike and vibrant.
Needless to say, this has earned a spot in my favorites list. I just love your story so, so much. Good work, and please update soon!
(PS-Sorry for the long and rambling review)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for such wonderful, kind and encouraging words, FenrirG. It means a lot to me, especially now that I find myself bogged down in the latest chapter. I hope I don\'t disappoint you. And don\'t ever apologize for a review like this. Any author would be thrilled with it; I know I certainly am. Thank you so much. :)
Date: 03/05/07 Title: Chapter 40: Under Pressure
*dies* I'm soo excited! I've got to go to dinner, but I can't WAIT to get back and read.
*bounces away*
Author's Response: *grins* I hope dinner was yummy!
Date: 03/05/07 Title: Chapter 40: Under Pressure
She's done it again!! Great job, moonymaniac!
This chapter was absolutely wonderful I was laughing hysterically at the thought of Darlene giving Lindi the love bites... and of that picture of Remus in the tree. *cracks up again just thinking about it*
Anyways, you've characterized Remus' mum and dad wonderfully. The mum is such a classic, well-meaning but overprotective mother, and Remus' dad sounds absolutely wonderful.
I love the tree-trimming scene, it really put me in the holiday spirit *pouts that it's only March* And Adamson... *urgh* I shudder at the thought of him. I hope he gets attacked by Red Caps.
Ahhh I really hope that Remus tells her soon... and I wonder how she takes it. I have a feeling that you'll have fun with that scene...
Hmph, well I suppose I shall be ending this review. The chapter was absolutely fabulous (as usual and expected), and definitely worth the (ahem, loonngg) wait. *hint hint*
A very contented Fenn.
Author's Response: I\'m so glad to know you liked it and if it was worth that wait, I’m very happy. I\'m really glad you like his mum and dad. I\'ve said it in earlier responses, but I really felt the need for Remus to have good, loving parents and the only things he\'s ever said about them indicated that they probably were.
The holiday spirit... I so wanted to have these \"Holiday\" chapters ready for the Christmas break, but obviously, that didn\'t happen. :*( Adamson\'s a slimy git! And I’ve registered another vote for Remus telling her soon... :) Actually, I already have that scene written. It has been written for over a year, and I did have fun writing it. :D Of course, it will need to be tweaked to fit (when the time comes). And no, I won\'t say when that is. <.< *Muwhahahahah* (I haven\'t done that in a while.) And I\'m getting the feeling that people didn\'t enjoy the wait. I don\'t need to be hit in the head to take a hint! LOL Thank you, FenrirG.
Date: 09/08/07 Title: Chapter 46: Almost Perfect
Oh my, what a wonderful chapter, Moony! *smiles dreamily* The ending was just so cute; I love how Lindi blurted out her question, and the way Remus answered her was... awww. And the kiss in front of the Slytherins was fantastic!
Once again, I just adore your characterizations of all the Marauders. I actually think your characterization of Sirius was perfectly fine. =] Oh, and did I mention that I absolutely adore all the little banter between the Marauders? It's so light and refreshing, and contrasts nicely with the dangerous backdrop you're setting for the story.
So once again, another amazing chapter! *warm fuzziness* You're wonderful!
Author's Response: Aw, thank you, Fenn. I\'m so glad you enjoyed it. And to think I wiped out my entire profile trying to get a defense of my characterization of Sirius up...*rolls eyes* It took me two and a half years to get that profile that messy! LOL But I\'m glad you don\'t think I need the explanation so far. :) The banter is really what makes the Marauders so much fun for me to write. I just love making myself a fly on their wall, so I\'m glad you enjoy that, as well. Thank you so much for a lovely review. I think you\'re wonderful, too! :-D

Once again, this chapter is simply amazing. =) I'm so very impressed with your talent and skill; the imagery is amazing, and your characterization is so wonderful yet so real. I love how you've written Hermione, Draco, and Violet (she's a real sweetie! =]) but hate Jessie at the same time. I was very shocked to find out that they're all witches and wizards--what an excellent and intriguing twist! I can't wait to see what happens. Once again, great job!
Author's Response: Hello!! I truly appreciate your review - thank you so much! =D It\'s great to know you\'re enjoying the story and the characters i\'ve created! It\'s been hard to keep Draco OOC, but I think he\'s turned out okay hmm? lol...

I've also been to Jurong Birdpark, the Night Safari, Sentosa Island, and pretty much everywhere you mentioned. (Hmmm, just a suggestion, but I think the sky tram to Sentosa would be an excellent opportunity for some romance *wink wink*)
Anyways, great fic-10++ Kudos to you!
Author's Response: THanks!!! Oh you have?! I think i\'ve gone to Jurong BirdPark years ago...can\'t really remember though =D Ah well...they\'re leaving Singapore so they can\'t really go on the tram *blushes* sorry about that, but thanks a ton for the suggestion! Hope you continue to read on...thank you soo much for reviewing!

I've been meaning to review this for a long time, and I just wanted to tell you how amazed I am by your writing. Your imagery and characterization is excellent (Sirius is amazing) and your writing style is beautiful; casual yet personal, it's simply amazing. As a fan of Maurader Era myself, I absolutely love this story and am eagerly reading your sequel. Great, great job!

The Stupid Toad Woman by mugglegurl
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: One-shot challenge- owls, written by the patient Hufflepuff, mugglegurl. We all know that Hedwig was attacked by Umbridge in OotP. Here's her tale of what happened. Somewhat funny, if I do say so myself.
Date: 03/19/07 Title: Chapter 1: The Stupid Toad Woman
Wow, I'm so happy I saw your thread over on the Cloud 9 thread--I had no idea what I was missing out on!
This fic is absolutely brilliant--funny, witty, and downright hilarious! You've characterized Hedwig in a believable but knee-slappingly funny way--she just oozes attitude! I love Buckbeak and his Aussie accent... Sirius and his dispicable manners.... I love it all!
This fic is Definitely going on my favorites. I'm so glad I discovered it--keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Wow, thank you! I knew that posting in the Cloud 9 thread was a good idea ;)

Selena's Choice by megan_lupin
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: “The greatest conflicts are not between two people but between one person and himself.”
What if doing the right thing wasn’t as simple as everyone thought? What if there was no such thing as an easy choice? What if both answers to a dilemma led you down a path that isn’t right or easy? Selena Rosa struggles with making just such a choice, a choice where neither path seems right. What will she ultimately choose?
Written for the “June/July Monthly Challenge Two: Conflict” by megan_lupin of Gryffindor.
Date: 02/26/07 Title: Chapter 1: Selena's Choice
Megan, I love it! It's quite a lot darker than what I usually read, but it's extremely well-written and wonderfully thought out. Sad though it is, it really was a darkly enjoyable read.
I have no criticism excpet that you have a messed up html tag in chapter 2.
"You’re being selfish, you know. The voice was back. ,i>You’re not refusing the offers because it’s “not the right thing”; you’re just selfish. You don’t want to appear like a traitor . . . You’re self-centred and egotistical, and ---"
Also, I really love how you used the dementors to show Selena's past. It was really very clever! =)
Anyways, I enjoyed your fic a lot. You're a brilliant writer, so keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thanks, Fenrir! I\'m very glad that you liked this. The darkness of it was my favourite aspect, and I had a LOT of fun writing it *loves Dark Lords and Death Eaters*
Also, thanks for pointing out the tag; I went back and fixed it! As for the Dementors, I love using that technique; it makes it so easy to tell important pieces of a person\'s past, without having to think up lengthy scenes and whatnot.

Making Up for Lost Time by athene
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It had been two years since the final battle.. two years since Hermione Granger was thought to be dead my the wizardng world.. Thus, being 'shocked' would be an understatement when Severus came across a Miss Hermy in a remote Welsh village, whose unmistakanable brown hair hasn't change one bit..

Never Forget by Simply Being
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Sara Hewitt isn't talented, or pretty, or rich, or famous. And worst of all, she's a Mudblood. This is her story.
A/N: Thanks Betas!
Date: 08/02/07 Title: Chapter 1: Never Forget
Once again, I'm truly floored by your wonderful story. This was such a beautiful, deeply personal piece. From beginning to end [and especially the first and last paragraphs] you've created such a beautiful story and beautiful character... it's amazing.
One thing I truly love about this story--besides the remarkable writing, of course--is that you managed to convey a message in such a natural way.... simple but not forced, beautiful but not over-the-top.
On a personal note, although I've [fortunately] never been bullied, your story really makes me realize how much one person can do to help another out. I've been known to defend people who are teased... Defend them, I guess, I've never really befriended them. *nods* But your story shows how much good a kind word can do. It's inspiring, really, and just plain beautiful.
I love seeing how far you have gone into really exploring Luna's character. Even her brief little speech ["They don't think I feel like others do..."] was so poingant and beautiful, and truly shows great insight into her persona. And the first paragraph! I can't even begin to say how wonderful your yoyo metaphor is.
Hm. I seem to be saying this a lot today, but you're amazing. Great job. I can't stress that enough.
Author's Response: Thank you so much wonderful reviewer! I got the idea for this fic after thinking about all the muggle-borns tormented by bullies like Malfoy, and I wanted to explore that more with my own character.
Thanks again!
The Dark Lord's Blog by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years • Summary: What does Lord Voldemort do in his spare time? Well, that's an excellent question. Who would have known that the Dark Lord has a blog? (He also has a loyal following of readers, most of whom are Death Eaters and who post their comments.) Voldemort dispenses advice on everything from murder methods to germ protection to Power Rangers to shoes, and gives an account of the life of an evil overlord. But is he posting too much personal information online? And will Harry read it and find out more about the Dark Lord than Voldemort ever intended? Read and see.
WARNING: Extremely OOC behaviour from almost all.
RUNNER-UP in the 2007 Quicksilver Quills Awards for Best Humour fic! Also nominated like 21 times, because apparently my readers are as insane as I am!
Date: 02/16/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Don't Try This At Home
Wow! I just love love love this fic! It's fresh, funny, and fabulous (sorry for the alliteration). =P Anyways, you're an excellent writer with a lovely sense of humor.
I've actually started writing a humor fic about Luna's unlikely lover (a house elf named Barmy) but I'm still trying to achieve even a fraction of the degree of funniness (if that's a word =P) you incorporate. I have to say, I was thinking about giving up when I read your story and was inspired!
I love your story, and it's earned its place in my favorites--for sure!
Say Hi to Voldy!
~FenrirG
Author's Response: Thanks so much, FenrirG-- and I like your username. I\'m glad you like my sense of humour, because my mum seems a little scared by it.
I would love to read your story-- Luna\'s a terrific character, and I personally have trouble doing her justice when I try to write her (although I\'m a Hufflepuff, I mostly stick to writing about Slytherins.)
Voldy says \'hello!\'
Leaves by Simply Being
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: I would look out into the forest, full of huge lofty trees covered in leafy green foliage, pointing downward as if sensing the rain, and trying with all their might to get as far away as possible from it. It doesn’t really make sense, I used to muse to myself. Why would leaves hide from the rain? Maybe, I decided, because they were afraid; afraid that the thing they loved the most would somehow hurt them, and why bother even taking a chance? Therefore, I had concluded, they pointed downward as far as they could reach.
What if the death of Luna's mother wasn't an accident?
A/N: Thanks so much Kasey, Rachel, and Catrin! Also: This comes with a slight AU warning, it all depends on how you look at it. But, strictly speaking, it does not go against cannon.
Date: 08/02/07 Title: Chapter 1: Leaves
Wow. That was my first reaction when I read this story. Wow.
I'm literally floored by all the thought and emotion you poured into this beautiful, beautiful story. There's something about it... no, everything about it is simply amazing. The word choice, the imagery, the emotion, the metaphor of the falling leaves... It all left me speechless.
I'm no good at leaving long reviews, but I seriously cannot express how beautiful and poingant I found this story. You're an absolutely amazing writer, and I can't wait for more from you.
Good, good job. Enough said. =]
Author's Response: *squishes* Thanks for reading, I\'m really glad you liked it. Luna is one of my favorite characters, I hope I did her justice.
Draco's Trick-or-Treat by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Three-year-old Draco goes trick-or-treating for the first time. His mother takes the opportunity to teach him some lessons and Malfoy family values that she believes will be important to her son later in life. This depiction of Draco is VASTLY different from the version of him that I write in "The Dark Lord's Blog."
Ridiculously short one-shot.
Date: 02/18/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter One and Only!
Ohh.. welll... I'm not quite sure how to respond! It was incredibly cute and well-written, but very sad too! It was a great idea of a story, though; shows a different side to Draco, for sure.
Well, great story as usual! Three thumbs up. =))
Author's Response: Thanks very much! (Though you should try to do something about that third arm.)
