I'm 16, and from America (unfortunately). I love math and German and writing.
Favorite HP characters: Sirius, Draco, Oliver Wood, Fred and George, Ginny, Bellatrix, Tonks, Remus, Moody
Favorite Ships:
Ron/Hermione (they're so perfect for each other, even if I can't write them *tear*), Draco/Ginny (My absolute favorite ship!! Read A Tale of Two Matchmakers if you haven't. Honestly, you need to. Go. Now.), Remus/Tonks, Sirius/Lily, and Sirius/Ginny (Honestly! If it weren't for the creepy age difference thing, they'd be perfect for each other!)
And pretty much anything else well written... except slash.
Favorite Non-HP books: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Gone With the Wind, Watership Down, and Dune
Favorite TV shows: Gilmore Girls, and a whole bunch of really old shows no one's ever heard of

My friends and I wrote a really hilarious humor fic that everyone should read! But, the thing is, MNFF won't accept it because it's too ooc. But if you ever want to read a really good humor fic, I know you'll love it. It's called "No One in Their Right Mind..." Here's the link: http://www.harrypotterfanfiction.com/viewstory.php?psid=221997
Oh, and here's the summary:
After the semi-final battle, Voldemort makes a life-changing decision.
“I’m tired of trying to take over the goofy Brits,” Voldemort said. “Let’s go to Canadia. And once we get there I can take over America – I’ve been wanting it since I was a small and underappreciated child of amazing talent anyway.”
As might be expected, hilarity ensues.
And I accept anonymous reviews, so if you like it, you can tell me!!

Lovely banner by Tash/Pondering!
My two chaptered fics are going to have to be put on temporary hiatus for the next month or so due to the guantlet, classes on the forums, and RL. Don't worry, I'll update ASAP!
Even though I'm a die-hard R/Hr fan, I thought this was cute. Draco seemed really IC, as did Hermione. I loved Hermione's rhyming verse scolding him about how he needs to sound more poetic. The only problem I had was how abrupt Draco's shift from sarcasm to love poem was. It just seemed surprising to find out they were married. But maybe I was just being oblivious! >.
Author's Response: Thank you for the review. I suppose that Draco\'s switch may have seemed abrupt, however, I always hear it as sarcastic more than romantic. In fact, I wrote it rather as a farce and bad hodgepodge of romantic poetry rather than something to be taken seriously. To me, the most touching part (by Draco) is only in his last poem. The rest are simply bantering and teasing. Perhaps that is only me being cynical, which is why the transition seemed abrupt, but I hope that clarified it a little!
It was cute, and the Draco/Ginny mention made me shriek with joy.
Severus Snape has ambitions to rise above his humble beginnings. Eris Greyback has a family debt to repay. Their romance is a more complicated brew than the trickiest of potions. SSEG, LEJP. The sequel, The Potions Master's Apprentice, is also complete.
*Winner of the 2007 QSQ Award for Best Marauder Era Story*
Severus fell to his knees, one part of his mind unable to believe this was actually happening while another part calculated how best to use this turn to his advantage.
That is how I see Snape becoming a Death Eater (or a Knight, in regards to this story). I think part of it was complete desire to not be looked down upon by his peers anymore (since he was a half blood) and other things like that – his 'advantages', and another part would be that he would want to get someplace where even other purebloods couldn't...just to say that he did it. And along with that would be that he wouldn't really know what was coming. No one could have told him, so in that way he was ignorant. And I think that's what comes out in your story. It isn't sympathetic, but it's better than that – it's real.

Author's Response: Oh my heck, you see things so perfectly! I heart you to the moon and back, Alison. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and making my night! *hugs*
I can't even think of what to say except....I loved it! I'm envisioning problems ahead, though...
~Alison
Author's Response: The road to true love never running smooth is only a cliche because it\'s true, lol.
They are such a good couple!! Their personalities are really compatible. I love this fic so much – more than I thought I would!! ^_^
~Alison
Author's Response: Thank you! Snape romances have to toe a thin line. You can\'t change Snape\'s personality, goals, and ambitions, because he should be loved because of who he is, not despite it, and yet you have to show a softer side that Harry would never have seen. I\'m glad you love the story. I loved writing it! :)
I just want to be the first to say congrats on getting a QsQ for this fic!! I was hoping it would win—it's the best Marauder Era fic I've ever read!!
~Alison
Author's Response: Did you nominate me? If you did, tell me, so I can thank you in big, bold letters on my author page! :)

~Alison
Author's Response: Good thing you hit the submit button with extra oomph, because I forgot to say thanks! ^_^
I love the line : ‘Hippocrates wants his oath back’ LOL
This is a lot different from other marauder fics – and I mean that in a good way!!!
~Alison
Author's Response: Thank you for saying that! *hugs* Severus is a lot of things, but a Marauder isn\'t one of them, so his story should have a darker edge than the others, even if it\'s lightened considerably by romance and humour! :D
I think the names Eris and Epis are too close to be a coincidence? Not to mention the similar blue eyes and fondness for Snape?
~Alison
Author's Response: Maybe you\'re right and maybe...you\'ll find out very soon! ;)
I have a most definite feeling that this fic will change my entire opinion of Snape... Well, I guess Matchmakers changed my entire opinion of Draco and Slytherin, so perhaps it will be a good thing! After all, you already made me think his voice was sexy...
~Alison
Author's Response: Alison, you have the bestreview timing EVER! I was just getting ready to write the Tonks-tells-Andromeda-about-Sirius scene and hoped there would be an email to uplift, and there was your review! I heart you for that. :)
Of course I nominated this (and a few of your others as well, lol)! But you don't have to thank me on your author's page! It's enough that everyone will know what a great fic this is!!
~Alison
Author's Response: Are you kidding me? If no one nominates, then your story isn\'t up for consideration. You rock! You\'re the woman! My hero! :)
Oh. My. God. This is a short review; I have to read the last chapter!!
~Alison
Author's Response: You reviewed. Sometimes, you say it all in a few, perfect words!
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As to specific things I love...
I really like how you portrayed Snape – but I've already said that haven't I? ^_^
Dani was an amazing kid...she had some of the best lines.
Slytherins with Hufflepuff tendencies are the best, aren't they?
This was a refreshing break from the marauders. Your characters are amazing. Eris is perfect for Snape!!
I love the ending. And I love that there's a sequel – which is where I'm going now!! Good job!
~Alison
Author's Response: I heart you! I\'ve probably said that already too, but I\'m more than happy to say it again! :)
After 'Snuffles' is revealed to be a fugitive Animagus, Sirius must convince the woman he loves to make him her most wanted.
Outtake to chapter 11 of A Wolf in the Moonlight
That was so cute! Sirius fully deserves to finally reveal himself to Cami (although that part was completely different than I imagined). I can't wait to see more of them!
*off to read the rest of A Wolf in the Moonlight*
~Alison
Author's Response: If you said you had a suspicion zombies would be involved, I would tell you to go to Vegas or at least by a lottery ticket asap! :D
Great poem. And I loved how you gave yourself a review. One of my friends got on my HPFF account and reviewed our humor fic... it was very embarrassing ^_^
~Alison
I've read editorials about the chess game in PS/SS. And this was a really interesting addition. I never really thought about it, but Ron really would make a good strategist for them. Smart people like Hermione are bad at chess. I'm bad at chess. Sorry, but a lot of really smart people can't play chess. I never really thought about what an advantage Ron's chess playing would be to them, but now I can. Clearly. Thanks to you. Oh, and you really did bring a lot of depth to Ron's character. I hate when people think he's stupid. He's just smart in a different way!
~Alison
Author's Response: I think he\'s basically smart, just not intellectually inclined and rather lazy--but there is a good mind there--he got more OWLs than the twins certainly and an E in enough subjects to fill out his schedule. And anyone who can play not only chess but disucss Quidditch strategy...
Thanks for the review!
Within the Marauder band of Merry Men, Sirius is the dashing Will Scarlet. Seventh year, his goal is not to rob the rich, but to help poor Robin woo Maid Lily, avoid sermons from Friar Moony, aid a rat in need, and win the love of a fair lady.
Nominated for a Quicksilver Quill for Best Romance- Non Canon.
*Chapter 30 is 'To Be Loved'*
Sirius' hotness makes me hyperventilate sometimes, but that's not the point... I love this fic! How much older is Rosmerta supposed to be–like 4 years? *Off to read chapter 2*
~Alison
Author's Response: Yes! Four years exactly. Old enough to be a hot older woman, not so old that she\'s a perv and Sirius needs counselling about his mother-figure issues, LOL.
Awww that was so cute!!
James is looking for a ring for Lily, and Lily said she doesn't mind Sirius hanging around all the time.
Sirius and Rosmerta are a good couple!
Poor Remus has to wait quite a few years for Tonks, though...
~Alison
Author's Response: But think how much more he appreciates her love after all those years of waiting! Ditto for her after a failed relationship. When the right one comes along, you don\'t take love for granted. :)
I loved how you inlcuded the song Dancing in the Moonlight...it's one of my favorite songs!!
Good chapter...I really like how you characterized Rosmerta!!
~Alison
Author's Response: Sirius sure wanted to make sure his mates didn\'t enjoy \"a fine and natural sight\" LOL. Thank you for liking Rosmerta\'s characterization. I think she\'s as self-assured in her attractiveness as Sirius and in a slightly different way--she sets up the party, he\'ll set it up and be the life of the party too--is just as social and outgoing and well-liked. They complement each other in ways that will be more apparent as the story goes on, so I hope you like her even more at the end than you do now! :)
Awww...James and Lily are together!! And Sirius in Rosmerta's room was amusing. Jane really needs to go die or something (not literally, lol)
~Alison
Author's Response: Is ending up with Peter the same as death, or worse than? LOL
