*deletes old about me and bounces in* Hi folks! We're going to do two reps of squats, move onto the bench press, run on over the small step ladders for a minimum of 30 seconds to get those buttocks scrunching, and then we're going to collapse into a desk chair and read!
That's it! One! Two! Three - four! Reeelaaaaaaaxxx!
Vhe are - Dawnie & Steph Aspiring Spice Girls, Princess & Queen of the Typos, Two Top Investigators (and, quite obviously) Skinny pigs and Photobuckeneers.
Oh yeah.
Oh wowee. That was a nice little dumplin of b.s! Or like, interpretive dance in the form of words on a computer screen being blasted across all of the world to make some crazy dog lady drinking tea smile. Or, someone wearing very sexy cowboy boots in a very Salty Lake city grin. Or, it may even be possibly that someone in a very Ily-nnoying state of mind may be reading this. In which case, if you've recovered from the little workout earlier, you'd know I ♥ my sport, particularly the one I'm coordinated at, LJ & PV. Because the others are fun mostly for the laughs I get directed at me when I fall on my sweet little toushe. Although they may not be laughing with me. Hmm.
I'm a Turnip. I atually cooked some the other day, and heard their little plot-bunnies goig up in smoke with a guilty little voice wailing in my mind *cough* But I adore my SPEWlings more than anything, and I love the PIBETA gang more than they know. ♥

Black Chronicles - An Ancient Legacy by the nutty imp
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: 6-year-old Sirius Black just wouldn’t listen; he snuck into the family cellar despite being forbiddened to do so... A broken artifact brought about a chain of events that’ll bring us to a different world. Although most of the events stayed the same, his absence brought about some minor changes - now Sirius is in Harry’s time.
This is a story that will reveal what will happen if the most mischievous of the Marauders joins forces with the ever-creative Weasley Twins.

Hello, hello again! 'Tis Christmas Day, 1:00am, to be precise. My Dad thinks it's funny to tormet me a with KING SIZE Green prawn head that he had for dinner. Ever since I was a little girl I've been scared of those things, and all because of his stupid Christams Antics! Hehe Wolfsbane Potion "Pity Sugar makes it useles" Sirius has enough Suger in his that it woudn't do anythign anyway!
Merry Christmas, Miel! I get prezzies in about 8-9 hours! Woot!!!
-StephAuthor's Response: King Size Green Prawn?!? *lol* Your dad sounds like a fun guy.
You've got a point there. *lol* Sirius does seem to be on a constant sugar-high. *lol*
Merry Christmas! I already opened mine ^_^. So satisfying to rip those wrappers and have ribbons flying about :)
Date: 01/14/06 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 9 - Draconian Methods
Aww. I only got up to Snape, but thought I'd leave a review before i forgot different things.
"So long, farewell. I need to say adieu. Adieu to you and you and you and you..." I lub The sound of music. Good stuff. *thumbs up*
Eeewww Dolores Umbridge/Pettigrew. Yueach. Oh wait, though... err... no one knows Pettigrew's alive at this point. Huh. *stumped* unless it's not Umbridge...
Sorry Really must. Conversation between Peter and Remus- Voldermort. Sorry. I just have this obsession with people spelling the main charatcers names wrong. Myself included. I feel so ashamed for my tedious Typos!
OOh, and one more thing. I never quite worked out why the dialogue is on Italics. Prolly shouldna asked before now huh?
I've submitted another story to MN! It's called The Potters and the Blacks; a Family Torn Apart and i wrote it when iw as 11! Wowsa. I only foudn it after 4 years the other week! oooh *jumps up and down* I'd like a copy of book 7. ch. 1 pleeeeeeeeease.
-Steph. LOL. And this wasn't even for the whole chapter. (",)Author's Response: *lol* That pairing grossed so many people out *lol* so much so that it's funny *giggle* (yeah I've got a sick sense of humour)
Oh this is an AU - no Sirius around thus Petey got away scott-free and is now 'ugh' Deputy Minister. *snicker* and you thought the Ministry under sudge is bad enough *lol*
The italics? *lol* When I started ... I had a hard time with switching tenses - so, the genius that I am figured this system out. -- non-italicised words ought to be in past tense *lol* -- Now, I can handle the tenses better, but since I started off with that style - I had to continue doing that.
I'll be sure to check that as soon as I finish beta-reading some chapters.
*lol* I'll sent it to you (well ... as soon as I can find where I buried that file *L* It's probably burried somewhere with the partially done chapter of this story that I've also been neglecting ^_^)
Date: 02/05/06 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue
Hey!
I hope you don't mind, but I've used a piece of your review in my summary for Malicous Intentions, basically promoting the story, and letting people know just what the great author's are reading!
Just tell me if you don't want your quote on there, I'll take it down instantly if you want =)
-StephAuthor's Response: I don't ^_^ the reviews are yours to use as you wish :) -- BTW you can email me for these the next time :) I just prefer not to spam up my review page after raving (in the forum) on how I dislike spammed up review numbers because the review page is being used as a chatline :)
~Miel :)
Date: 12/23/05 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 1 - Out of His Time
I LuB this story, I am SO glad i ead it. Oh, and Nataniels wand, noted.... but you see i tink you might have made a time error/ harry will be 7, Hermione 8 and Ron, 8 depending on what time of the year it is, and Sirius is only 6. Nicholas Flamel died some time between their first year, and their sixth year, i should think. Nicolas and Perenelle visited Nathaniel just befroe they too died, and Nathaniel would still be im possession of his wand it this time. But, taking into considereration, this si the statr of a wonderful fic. I'm off to read more, and will reveiw at the end. Kudos!
Author's Response: *wince* canon error? I'll have to re-check those date lines.
Whoops I guess I'm not that good in trasitions and managed to confuse you on that other story *lol* C.A. did pointed out some problems in the transitions. Nathaniel was supposed to be an artist during the Renaissance era. This story takes place in a more modern era - thus he's long dead. (but he'll make an appearance since I originally created him in this story).
Transitions in time frame is definitely something that I need to work on ^_^.
Date: 12/23/05 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 6 - S.P.A.W.N.
Wow, could that have takne any longer? Only 10 chapter to go! LOL I love the idea of a Permanent Sticking Charm. I'm with Sirius. I love the Kelpies way of thinking "i lub to drown people" LOLaaaaaaahhh Christmas Eve. This is bascially a rejoicing review: i finished one of you chapters, and its Christmas Eve! T-minus 9 hours, 21 minutes and 27 seconds! Woot!
Author's Response: (Drowning ... and Permanent Sticking Charms) @_@ You're one scary gal *lol*
Merry Christmas! Be warned a couple of those chapters are REALLY looong. (I don't exagerate on this) *lol* I wanted to try making long one ... and it's harder than I thought, ^_^ but I did it ^_^
Date: 01/17/06 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 9 - Draconian Methods
"Mudbloods, half breeds, and Weasley trash" Covered all bases there, Imp. I don't get how Sirius could be swayed so easily. Like, didn't he hate Malfoy? *Confused* I just thought (even though Sirius is open to pranking anyone, anytime) that he wouldn't have done it in plain view of Harry, Ron and Miss-know-it-all knowing they ddin't feel the same way.
*Sigh* My computer had died... again. I swear, if they take 3 months to fix it again, *shakes fist* This is the third time it's gone to silicon heaven... come to think of it, yours was the last review i ever wrote before it died. *glares at Sirius*
-Luridly, StephAuthor's Response: He’s mad at the Weasleys , so he’s likely stupid enough to go along with Draco just to spite them. He doesn’t like Lucius and probably finds Draco overbearing – Sirius is not exactly known to ‘think’ before he acts :) after all in the canon he did sent Snape towards a rabid werewolf without thinking that this could have killed the git. He rushed off to the Department of Mysteries despite Dumbledore telling him to stay put. I like Sirius, but he’s not exactly a reasonable guy :) too fiery, impulsive – he’s an idiot sometimes.
I don’t know why but I can’t find your new story that you mentioned. Maybe my laptop needs a good shake *lol*
Date: 01/17/06 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 10 - Tricks and Deceptions
"Mix his blood with a kelpie he attempted A bride which the family rejected" *giggles* eww! That's worse that the Umbridge/Peter ship. *rolls on ground with tears of laughter in eyes*
Learn more about Nathaniel Black, we did indeed. I find Aris interesting, i love the rhyming. I think when rhyming, certain things become very ironic when you read them again, you can cover your tracks.
*guawff* Look! It is a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's the Amazing, flying Pest Percy!
*squishes with toe*Author's Response: *giggle* Given the ship I come up with – aren’t you glad I don’t write romance *lol* Rhymes are good that way *grin* - you can be vague (and truly not know what you’re talking about) but seem smart – later you can say – that’s what I meant – you’ve got to read in between the lines *snicker*
You wonder who’s truly the bigger pest: The Pranksters? or The Prefect? *lol*
Date: 01/17/06 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 11 - Mirror Mirror
"Tenebrus" *nods* yup, got that one, although.. i thoguht "it" was a guy... something about a whole heard? *eyebrows knit*
Tee-hee, i loved the Sirius prank. Seemed a little like "Squigly wiggly, jigery pokery" in CoS.... "Muggle Beheading Device" classic.Vell, ve haff to go, toodles!
-StephAuthor's Response: I did too … but luckily I check via the HP lexicon. They’re bound to be correct :) She’s the head of the herd and also Hagrid’s favourate.
I’ll have to look up that CoS squiggly thing *lol* I can’t remember that :)

OKay sorry to burst your bubble.. but should 't Malfy have said why sin't his MOTHER taking him if he hates muggles? And Voldemort's wand is made of yez, not beechwood. Ollivander says so in PS/SS sorry. =-) thanks for the reviews, mate!
Author's Response: I can't remember every little detail. I try but I can't and Malfoy said that because he believes fathers are dominate figuares and should take care of their kids muggle or not.

Dare i say it? Yeah.. aww! Poor Tommy! Lol I love the names u came up with, and i think its halriousm (my word of the day) when u read pre-HBP stories and look at what people belive to be canon. lol Kudos mate!
Author's Response: It isn't canon anymore so I don't care but if it was that would be creepy that me and Rowling tyhink the exact same way.

Hey, i liked the story about Pyhthias past, really gave you some back round info and shows you that teachers ARE human. I thought some of the dialogue was a touch OOC for a stereotypical teacher, but ah well, what would I know? I've only got 6 chapters up, wheras you've got 8! You also spelt Parsletongue wrong repeatedly, lucky they didn't pick you up on that, and defense against the dark arts should be Capitalized, it being a Poper Noun.
I really enjoy this emotional side to Tom, a sharp contrast to the rude stuck up kid in HBP, i must admit. Well done, Jas! Keep up the good work, and chapter 9 will be up before you can say Waddiwasi! ~Steph*~10*
Author's Response: She is far from a stereotypical teacher. She feels much sympthey for the poor boy that is her house and any other creature that she comes across that is injured. And yes Tom will continue to have a very emotional side until he uses it up and is no longer human. A.K.A Voldy

I know what you mean when you say waiting for acceptance! I had my chapter 2 in the line for about 2 weeks (no joke) and then it gets rejected! As for the other first chapter and 3rd chapter...it would be great if you returned the favour and reviewed! Oh, poor Tommy! He'd probably kill me if he ever heard me calling him that! I got the hissing/gurgling thing, but why don't you say something about his eyes? are they normal, or are they just a tinge strange? i love when people tlak about his eyes, and can't wait to see then on GoF!!! 10/10- not bad aye?

Hi! I know how hard it is to get reviews, so i'm giving me 'fine tuned adivice' to everyone i think might be kind enough to review my story, LOLZ =-) It's a really great story. I love how in depth Harry was, and how In-character Ron was, suspicious lil blighter he is! I'll give it a ten, and I'll keep my eye on it for the next chapter, (i'm adding u ti my favs list just to make sure) hope to see a review with your name on it! 10/10
Author's Response: Thank you very much for reviewing. This is my first stab at HP fanfic so i was very nervous, thankyou for your kind thoughts. I'll remember to check your's out when I've got a bit of time to give it proper attention. Shouldn't be long til next chapter so stay tuned!
Fool Me Once... by Crickette
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: “You were the first thing they took from me,” whispered Sirius. “My only happy memory. I haven’t thought of you in fourteen years.”
“And I’ve had to think about you everyday. For fourteen years,” said Miriam, darkly. Her voice trembled. “I win.”
Miriam Daniels had lost everything she’d ever loved the day Sirius Black was sentenced to a life in Azkaban. Now, years later, she needs to find the strength to accept a past drastically different from the one that she had just begun to acknowledge as truth. Will the most celebrated Healer in England be able to nurse back to health a broken heart and shattered dreams? Or will a secret kept locked away for fourteen years drive Miriam even further away from the man who once adored her?
A/N: A/R with aspects of MWPP-era-ness! I hope you like it!
NEW CHAPTER! I really hope you enjoy it.
Date: 08/04/05 Title: Chapter 1: The Healer Returns
This story is really intruging! I know exactly what a nice long review does for the self-esteem, so here goes: I'm not sure exactly when this is set, I'm guessing (just from reading the Hearing and when Harry said Oliver had just retired from Quidditch Captain at Hogwarts) that this is an alternate ending to Harry's Wizengamot Hearing? (sorry, not a fabulous speller =-/ ) Either way, seeing Sirius alive is any girls dream, so well done! On to the next Chapter!! ~10
Date: 08/05/05 Title: Chapter 2: Can't Change the Past
Okay.. now I'm kinda thinking its between 5th year and 6th year.. but Sirius would bedead by then! That was just the Pre-HBP warning you put on it =S uh.. oh yeah. I'm really sorry (something lukewarm coming up) but the tags you put in < p > you don't need to, and when u do it causes weird spacing that DOES make it more suspensful having to scroll down for that little tad of a second, but it's also a little annoying =( sorry. Also some stuff is spelt wrong, and there's something about the first chapter I can't quite remember...argh later. As for the rest of the writing, I'm glad you updated, coz soon there will be another chapter for me to read! To chapter 3! ~10*
