*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!

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. ♥

Well, i feel for Ginny, as Harry signed his letter as "your friend" Harry, and as for percy, well Ive always imagined him apologising to the Weasley's minus the parsnjips, but in a letter? It doesnt seem like Percy, also tyhe use of third person "why would Harry being tlaking to Percy?" perhaps "myself" would have been a better choice of words? TTFN- chapters await!
Date: 11/12/05 Title: Chapter 4: Choices
I dont know how this time turner thing is going to work out, hopefully for the best! I love stories where there are lots of plot turns, and left-out information,so it is more of a jolt of recognition when you finally realise sometyhing... seems to me this is going to be one of them!

Thanks for reading!
Date: 07/02/05 Title: Chapter 4: No One Cares
Wow. I was waiting for this story to end... but then i see it still hasn't! It must really take time to pout such feeling out into the computer for other people to see... It really moved me when i read the first 3 chapters, i couldn't believe how realistic it was, and i couldn't belive the pain and conflict Mione was going though. It's so sad, but maybe... just maybe... the last vivist she got wasn't from Draco, and subconsioul;y she belived it was someone else?
its would be so cool if you could check out my story, Malicious Intentions, the latest chapter i wrote (not on there yet) was actually inspired by your story, but of course has nothing to do with it. I don't think anyone could ever compete with such a moving story. ~Steph*

great to see you're still here, my queen :) Wooh, go emerson! *hands emerson flavoured marshmellow*
Date: 02/19/06 Title: Chapter 10: Decisions
I started to read this story in the early days, back when Delightful Pain was assumed to be a one-shot. That was before I became Lurid, so almost a year has gone past form when i first started reading.
From When Draco first said his first line if dailogue in ch.1, i felt an intense hate for him. I felt extremely sorry for Hermione. I wanted revenge. But, as the storyw ent on, and we delved into Draco's P.O.V (which, might I add was a stroke of brilliance) we saw the inner Draco, and from that, his side of the story. His lust, his wanting and his need. And then, we saw Hermione's character start to develop. We saw her character pitied by many, and then, we saw some reel back in revulsion, all because she discovered she did actually feel soemthing for Draco; something other than fear.
I think that transition was extremely well done, and although you might have lost some reviewers, i feel the message you send from this story, and the power that seems ot come form each chapter effects people in either a negative or positive way regardless.
I would just like to congratulate you on a fantastic story, one full of emotion. Hate, fear, forgivness, and ultimatley, freedom. I thought that final chapter wiht Draco pleading for her to send him to Azkaban was simply beautiful. So plain, so simple, yet so intricatly involved wiht the whole story. It wa slike you summed up the entire story in one, small, sad paragraph.
I hope there is more ot this story, and would just like you to know, you have earned a permanent place on my favourites.
-StephAuthor's Response: Oh wow thank you so much for such a long review. Normally when I get such long ones I start to bite my nails, fearful of whether this is going to become a flame or what, but thank you for not doing so. DP was once again deleted in another site so I just need all the positive feedback I could get. BUT...I digress...Thanks for sticking with the story, I took the risk to post the rest and I hope some people like you have stuck by me regardless of how much it might have impacted others negatively. I have more to the story though, theres a total of 13 and so we have 3 more to go! So I do hope to and everyone else who might be reading this reply, will stick with this until the end! Thank for rewarding my efforts at such a deep yet controversial story by putting me in your favorites!
Harry Potter and the Balancers of Death: Book 6 by jparan1
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: This a story about Harry and his friends in their 6th year. It take's place after JK's OOTP. THe charaters and concept belong to JK Rowling and I am just using her great works as an output for waiting for her next book.
I do think you will enjoy this story. I have gotten many positive reviews. Alot of reviewer says it reads like if JKR wrote it herself. I am not that good, but I do appreciate the kind review.
This is an action adventure, with a touch of romance. I have tried to stay true to JK' orginal works, but there could be inconsistancies. Forgive me, for I am merely a muggle.
Date: 07/21/05 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1- Gracious Hosts
James...james...james....how can this be true? How could you know they would learn to Apparate in book 6? I must say.... this poses some very interesting theorires...like how you knew they would be practicing with circles...maybe you're JKR in disguise...she has been on here before ::looks arund shiftily, then continues with theory-ising:: hmm... the naked part was totally new to me though =-) it would be cool if yopu could check out my story....i only have one, and it's no where as good as this one =-D ::just smile and wave, smile and wave::

Lestrange Days by ancientgirl
Rated: Professors •Summary: Sequel to "The Long Wait." It's been thirteen years. The kids are in school, Severus and Hermione are teaching, and all is good, or so they believe.
Date: 07/29/05 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
erm.. was that Andromeda? Too right that was graphic...but if she was stupified she wouldn't have been able to cry or anything, coz you're 'asleep' looking when you've been hit with Stupefy...ah well. getting your face peeled off does kinda wake u up =P
Author's Response: No, that wasn't Adromeda. It was just someone Peter found.

Finally Home by Weasley Mom
Rated: •Summary: This story starts during the summer between Harry's fifth and sixth year. It follows his journey from the skinny, guilt-ridden Boy Who Lived to the Man Who Would Defeat Voldemort. Some H/G and R/Hr romance. Chapter 50 is up!!!! STORY COMPLETE!!! Written pre-HBP. This story no longer follows cannon.
Date: 04/18/05 Title: Chapter 36: Flight of the Pheonix
Great chapter! Can't wait to be back at Mungo's. Usually i love it there. It just seems so mch less sterile than normal hospitals, and JK makes you feel right at home. It's just so sad seeing Molly there coz as Bill said she's neverbeen admitted before.... Harry's Patronus... i read somewhere in one of your reviews that JKR didn't want them to become Animagus so you wern't going to have that in the storyline...i LOVE the whole green flame aspect, is that referring the title HP & Green Flame Torch? If so where's the torch?
Date: 04/15/05 Title: Chapter 35: Cry Havoc!
exellent!!! Best chapter yet i rekon, but if it was longer you probably would have told us about M.W. Is the curse the same as Snivellus used on James in 'Snapes Worst Memory' and on Hermione in The Department Of Mysteries? Funny how these thingys connect aye?
Date: 03/18/05 Title: Chapter 30: Expecto Patronum
I've really looked forward to this chapter! I usually check every day, but my computers had some bugs =( I hope it doesnt do it again coz i really love reading your FF!! I think the animals you chose were appropriate, but yeah for names like that SSmg or watever it is said whats 'Roe' mean? For Hermy....hhmmmm...maybe a scrambled version of a nickname or real name like I AM LORD VOLDERMORT (Tom Marvolo Riddle) Coz like in this other story it said she got ful owl... just like Ol' Voldie. Maybe they're some likeness?
Date: 07/13/05 Title: Chapter 46: Not Quite Right
Well done Weasley Mom! I am detirmined to make this my longest review ever..
okay i thought it was absolutly halarious when Harry gave Remus the impresion he wanted 'the talk' lol you can just imagine Remus looking around shepishly then going "ahem... well... erm the birds and the bees, Harry... we should probably sit down.." lol just my view. You can imagine Sirius boasting about all his shags...."Oh yeah, and then there was the one in 6th year where we got busted by McGonagall in the broom closet...that was good..." he said with a wistful look in his eye. "Yeah,. those were the days..." lol sorry got carried away..
I've never really thought of Tonks as an Auror in a story before... she's always seemed so flippant...my new word. Apparently im 'flippant when it comes to concentrating at training' :S yesmm....but yeah. When Tonks took on sucha serious tone i was like "wow! That's right! She's an Auror!" ahh... i can't wait for their wedding! Wonder what colour hair Tonks will have? Knowing her.... purple to go with some violets??? even tho violets are kinda blue ::scratches head::
Yay! I think this is deffinetely my longest review! I just hope when you finish the last two chapters you'll ask us questions. I love answering questions in reviews... makes me think for once...not that i don't always think.. being a year 9 student...thats reminds me; i go back to school on the monday afetr HBP! I should be finshed by then! I hate being in Australia some times...BTW i think ur Canadian or from America, coz Brits and Aussie spell 'mum' with a U and you spell it with an 'O' just a lil tidbit sorry... I'm straying from the path =-)
I've been following this story from the start, tho *sorry* not reviewing coz I haven't had an account that long, but this was the first story i EVER read ::honest:: and i love it to bits! It's a shame to see it finshing, but at least this way we can always go back and nit pick obsessivley without having to wonder stupidly if our questions will be answered in the next chapter ::grins sheepsihly:: i know from experience =-D
well, its time for me to stop rambling, hope you start a seventh year Fanfic once HBp reveals the new plot line, and I look forward to reading it, as i expect, Will does! Lucky boy! ~Steph* ::20 as always, but if i had my way, 100000... you get the picture:: 62 lines!
Date: 03/11/05 Title: Chapter 29: In the Dungeons
I agree with Lisa K and Nadia ( the most recent review before mine. JK does refer to Ginny as a cat alot? Maybe a nice Giger Kneazle (Fantastic Beasts -- Crookshanks is most probably one, maybe Ginny could have some kinda connection?) She could have her new scar as a sumbol like McGonnagall's glasses.... As for Ron the idea of Birds is coming up alot, Maybe a Pheonix, with all that red hair he's sure to fit the part :) maybe a roan unicorn (totally random I know) because his wand has unicorn hair in it, but if he was a pheonix maybe they could fashion their own wands with his feathers for a stronger connection. like a junior branch of the Order. I have almost no ideas for Hermione, except the little bit of info that Otters are oart of the WEASEL family. Maybe if Ron & Hermione's romance became stronger she may one day become a Weasley (I know big step 4 her) but that could prove a strong connection. Also maybe Neviile could be a 5th Marauder? Time's have changed and he's really closely linked to Harry with the prphecy and all, maybe a toad like Trevor or a Hawk? They're really wise & detirmined, like he is to avenge his parents. I can tell I've tired you out with all my thinking, so ttyl all...
Date: 03/11/05 Title: Chapter 28: Professor Tonks
I like the way Tonks percieved fear of predictability ( i know, big word for a 13 yr old :) )but yeah, well done. I think her little talk has scared them into thinking they can't trust strangers, no matter of the saying (a strangers just a friend you haven't met)
Date: 04/25/05 Title: Chapter 37: Waiting
YAY!! first reviwer. I think this is a really well structured chapter. i just gotta go back and dreg up some questions for you....
Date: 06/16/05 Title: Chapter 45: Up in Smoke
Aww! Sirius is back! I love when people put Sirius back into their stories; i would just like to add that chapter with Andromeda and Ted was fabulous. I'd just like to say (sorry for nit-picking) but you spelt maliciously wrong =-) I should know, i only spent about five minuted trying to find out the right spelling for my story (Malicious Intentions, General Fics, could you please take a look? It would be such an honour =-)) but other than that, I am so sad to hear that this story is almost finished. I almost cried when Colin died, and i just hope he doesn't die is HP1/2BP!!! Loves it!
