Hi! I'm Alyssa, and I'm 16. I'm a busy sophomore. Harry Potter is my default "homework-break." I love to write, and I'm currently obsessed with the Next Generation. JKR is a genius for giving us all these characters so conducive to fanfiction. :)

Gratification and Justification by Cinderella Angelina
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Victoire Weasley can hardly believe it herself. How is it that she's suddenly developed feelings for her best friend, Teddy Lupin, and in his last year of Hogwarts too? Now she must spend her sixth year not only adjusting her long-held sensibilities of how their relationship should work, but his as well.
There's not always a reason for everything that happens, and sometimes the reward for action looks more like a consequence. But that's just how life goes sometimes.

Luna's Truth or Dare by Hutchinson

Date: 02/18/08 Title: Chapter 2: Boxers and Beans
Ohh, brilliant chapter! Too bad the queue's closed...I want to read more!
Author's Response: Oh, I know! I\'m on the edge of my seat waiting for the gp-ahead so I can slip the next chapter into the queue. Thanks for leaving me a kind note to read until then! And if you like, feel free to check out my other story, called Hermione Greater. Cheers! <3

I really like this story! Please update soon! (Sorry this review isn't more constructive, I usually like to give long reviews, but I'm dead tired right now.)

Really Wicked: Stephen Schwartz's Wicked Gone Potter by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It's another spoof by Schmerg_The_Impaler!
This time, it's "Wicked," by Stephen Schwartz, remodeled to tell the story of Voldemort's life!
I also have spoofs of Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and High School Musical on my profile, if anyone would care to read.
Date: 03/24/08 Title: Chapter 1: Act One
The following is the sentiments I had upon finishing this.
SCHMERGO IS THE BRILLIANTEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!!!!!!!!
Wicked is like, my favouritest musical EVAH. I've used "Popular" in many an audition. That was my favourite song of all of them. It made me laugh so hard, and that's pretty rare that something I read makes me laugh aloud. (Though I must say, Schmergo, your stories do that rather frequently.) I can't wait to see act 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!multiple punctuation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!excessive exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: Oh my gosh! The brilliantest thing since sliced bread? That\'s quite a hefty compliment, especially seeing as sliced bread is pretty darn brilliant! I\'ve sung \"Popular\" in a voice recital and two talent shows, so that was song that spawned this whole spoof... I wrote my version of it, and then I wrote the rest of the show.
\r\nI did already submit Act Two, though.
Coat Of Many Colours by boo_kat
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A special moment between two friends at Christmas time.
Date: 04/18/08 Title: Chapter 1: Coat Of Many Colours
Awww, I loved it! This was very well written. You portrayed Lily and Severus in a way I hadn't really thought of before, but it worked really well. It was very believable.
A Different Kind of Love by Nymphea
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: James gives Lily a letter on the last day of sixth year:
I’m going to be perfectly honest with you—I’m not that good with feelings. I usually just ask Remus; he’s pretty good with that sort of thing. But I can’t ask Remus to write this letter for me, so you’re just going to have to bear with me while I set the record straight before the school year ends and I forget how to describe my feelings about things between us. [2000 reads! thanks guys!]
Date: 04/21/08 Title: Chapter 1: A Different Kind of Love
aw, sweet! I liked it. I'd leave a longer review, but I'm dead tired. Keep writing, I'd like to see more.
Author's Response: heh thanks for reviewing at all ;)
Pride and Pre-Juiced Plums: A Potter's Pentagon Love Story by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: A companion piece to the Potter's Pentagon trilogy... it's better if you've read the Potter's Pentagon trilogy, but you don't necessarily have to.
It's five years after Emma Weasley and her chums graduated from Hogwarts. Ted and Ivy are married, Haley is working at Madame Puddifoot's while trying desperately to break into show business, Jordan's doing whatever it is he does, and Emma is an Auror trainee working as a guard at the Chudley Cannons' stadium. The Cannons have actually been doing much better lately, due to their new star Beater, Tyrone Thomas. Unfortunately, Tyrone is Emma's ex-boyfriend. OH, THE AWKWARDNESS.
Follow Emma through her awkward adventures told in her usual insane way, as she experiences angst, hilarity, obnoxiously strange people, misadventures involving a deceptively dashing cad, Haley's wedding, the birth of Ted and Ivy's baby, and her own eventual descent into LURRRVE.
Written for the marvellous Vindictus Viridian's Pride and Prejudice NEWTs class on the Fanfiction Beta Boards, based on Jane Austen's fantastic novel, "Pride and Prejudice.".
Nominated in the 2008 Quicksilver Quills Awards for Best Non-Canon Romance Story! And its lovely (haha) heroine, Emma Weasley, received two nominations for Best Female Original Character, while Haley Potter and Ivy Potter each received one! Thanks so much, guys!
Date: 12/08/10 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Thomas the Tank Engine Versus Nacho Cheese
SCHMERG!!! You're baaaack!!!! We've missed you. :) I guess college is a good excuse though...
Anyway, excellent chapter as always. I've always loved your characters, even though they're decidedly AU.
Sadly, Patrick Wormwood reminds me very much of a guy at my new school. (I decided to attend a charter "early college" high school with a focus on science and math--what was I thinking????)
I'm excited for another updaate--obviously Emma and Tyrone will get together, but HOW? You're always super-creative--I'm sure you'll pull off something spectacular.
--Alyssa
Author's Response: HIIIIIIIIII!!!! Thank you so much. It's so funny, I almost went to a high school like that, but I eventually turned them down because I'm not really a science and math fan at all. I feel like I would've loved going to a high school filled with such eccentric nerdy types (Jordan Potters galore, yaaayyyy!), but my own high school experience was as amazing as possible. I do know some Patricky type people, though, haha.
Tyrone and Emma don't OFFICIALLY get together until the very last chapter... but you better believe that this chapter is the catalyst for sparks beginning to flyyyyy! And remember, this story includes a wedding and a birth, tooooO!
Date: 05/07/08 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Werewolves And Wolfgangs Of London
Brilliant! I'd leave a long, gushy review but I don't have time at the moment. i'm a Potter's Pentagon fan and I am now in love with this story. Update ASAP!!!!!!!
Author's Response: Wows, thanks! I\'m updating this story as soon as the humour fic I submitted the other day is validated (or rejected).
"I Want To Go Home." by coolh5000
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: “But I want to go home,” whispered the girl. “I don’t want to fight anymore”
DH p558
Not everyone who fought in the Battle of Hogwarts wanted to be there, and not everyone survived. This is the story of one of those people.
Date: 03/16/09 Title: Chapter 1: "I Want To Go Home."
Oh....this fic was so powerful!! It's sad the Charlotte died....but I suppose there had to be casualties somewhere. Keep writing; I enjoyed it!
A Summer Thing by KASK
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Everyday, they lead different lives in different cities with different people. But the summer sun threads their lives, bringing them together for three sun-kissed months a year. People change, though; they grow up and fall in love. They realize that what they have isn’t what they want forever. He did, anyway. No matter what she wanted, the world always has another plan.
Date: 04/18/08 Title: Chapter 1: A Summer Thing
This was a very well-written piece. I was a bit confused as to what Olivia was. Is she a Muggle? A Squib? A witch who attends a different school?
Honestly, I was a bit apprehensive to read something that wasn't James/Lily, but you wrote this really well. Good job!
Author's Response: Thank you! I picture Olivia going to a different school. Since it\'s her grandmother\'s house (she comes to), she can really be from anywhere.
Balcony Scene Not Included by Cinderella Angelina
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Alice is a hopeless romantic. Frank is sensible and down-to-earth and very kind. Can Alice bring herself to look past what she thinks she needs?
Date: 04/16/08 Title: Chapter 1: But soft!
Wow. Just wow. I love this story! The first thing that attracted me was the witty title--we're reading Romeo and Juliet in my English class. You captured Alice and Frank so well. Frank was so awkward, making him so adorable and completely believable. This is one of the most well-written romance fics I've ever read. Please write more!
Author's Response: I have written more, just not with Frank/Alice. You might consider looking at some of my other work; if you enjoyed this one, you might like others. Thank you so much for your review! Have a nice day! *D*
You Win by KASK
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Victoire has always won everything, maybe even something of Teddy's.
Date: 05/07/08 Title: Chapter 1: You Win
Awww, sweet! I love Teddy/Victoire. I loved the imagery in this story. Great job! Keep writing, s'il vous plait! (Victoire is rubbing off on me ;) )
Author's Response: Hehe. Thank you!
The Hero Complex by Pendraegona
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Eleven-year-old James Potter is fearless, clever, nimble, fearless, and--by his own reckoning--the future hero of the world.
At the moment, he's not much more than an amateur.
Date: 05/26/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Yay! It's validated! This is great. Let's hope the next chappie gets up soon...I'll try and beta quickly :)
Author's Response: I\'ll try and write quickly as well...and see how it goes. You\'ve been a fantastic beta so far--thank you for that!
Growing Pains by starscribe
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It is the Marauders’ fifth year at Hogwarts, and friendships are being tested. Sirius has run away from his family and is struggling with the consequences. Severus desperately tries to hold on to Lily’s affection as James attempts to gain it. Then Sirius plays a dangerous prank on Severus, and everyone must decide where their loyalties lie…and how much friendship really means to them.
Date: 06/28/08 Title: Chapter 2: All in the Family
Ahhh, brilliant! I love your characterization of Sirius and James so far. I could really picture what Sirius was going through... *sob* But he'll come through. Sirius always does. Well, not always... *sob again...*
Anyway, I can't wait for more! Please update soon!
Not Yet A King by Evilevergreen
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: [One Shot] "I'm not Fred!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, when she tried to compare the two. "I'm not any of my [Censored] brothers." [Ron Weasley & Angelina Johnson]
Date: 06/18/08 Title: Chapter 1: Not Yet a King
I loved it--it captured Ron's personality very well. The only part I thought wsa out of character was what he was doing with Angelina; "it comes and goes," he said. But maybe that's just me.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review. I\'m glad you enjoyed the story. This is actually the first story were I have written about so I\'m sure he does seem off here and there, thank you for pointing it out. =D
Kill Bill (And Arthur) by Schmerg_The_Impaler, Nevilles Girl
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: It is a blustery day in Hogsmeade, and Arthur and Bill Weasley are minding their own business. That is, until they each receive letters instructing them to mind each other's business in a most intrusive and rather final sort of way.
But this is not just about Arthur and Bill. They happen to be a small part of a much bigger, much more ambitious scheme that they know nothing about, run by a frighteningly powerful organization. What exactly is going on, and what exactly will Arthur and Bill do?
Written as an entry for the Gauntlet, by Schmerg_The_Impaler of Hufflepuff house (most of the Bill bits) and Neville's Girl of Slytherin house (most of the Arthur bits). Probably the strangest thing either of us has ever written.
Date: 07/07/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter One and Only
Bahahahaha, Schmerg and Luna, this is officially the awesomest contest submission ever. Well, maybe except for mine and Evester's (called "No Hope for Those with Notes" *hinthint,* you should read it.) Anywhoo, it kept me lauging the entire time. It's so...random. I love the MNFF as the bad guys, because that's really what we are, isn't it? Haha. I loved your characterisation of Bill and Arthur. It was so...Bill and Arthur.
On a totally unrelated subject, I've drawn at least 3 pics for your art contest thingy, Schmerg, but I haven't scanned any of them. One involves "The Five" as Disney characters...Jordan and Ted are both based off Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid, but they look entirely different, don;t worry.
Author's Response: Awww, thank you so much! This was bucketloads of fun to write. I\'m the evillest of all! Oh my gosh, please scan in the pictures! I would be thrilled to see them! Weirdly, I\'m listening to the gorgeous song \"Her Voice,\" sung by Prince Eric, from the Broadway musical of \"The Little Mermaid\" right now. (I\'m seeing it in August, my first ever Disney show!) Oddly, I realized after watching \"The Lion King\" on Saturday that Simba reminds me a lot of Jordan (except he\'s a tenor with a dad who\'s a bass, and Jordan\'s a bass with a dad who\'s a tenor.)
Potter's Pentagon: The Past (Book Three) by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: The final installment in the Potter’s Pentagon Trilogy. Read “The Five” and “The Truth” first, myess? Okay!
WARNING! Contains Muggle adventures in Diagon Alley, unusual eyebrows, cheesy clichés galore, psycho Ted, the not-so-lost years of Merlin, a school-wide singalong, the old potato joke, Tyrone’s Princess Bride obsession, Emma’s stubborn denial of the existence of Tyrone’s mustache, a graphic death, a joke shop product as a major plot device, hobo Jordan, Jordan hugging, Jordan pulling pranks, time travel, the Love Shack, angst, and worst of all, Professor Zabini.
It’s the sixth year for Potter’s Pentagon and company, and our heroes learn that in the wizarding world, coming of age has a somewhat weightier significance. Students are busy with an Inter-House Unity Project, Jordan is having weird dreams, Pansy and Ophidias Malfoy have been released from Azkaban, Professor Zabini has a mysterious project of his own, and almost everyone is acting strangely. Meanwhile, at the Ministry of Magic, a man with a vendetta against Ron Weasley is trying his hardest to get him in the biggest trouble possible. Is the only way to save him to travel into the past?
New talents are discovered, new friendships form and old ones change, pasts are dredged up, and, of course, there’s lots of good old-fashioned snogging. And one of the five kills for the first time… while another becomes a casualty of war.
Starring 2008 Quicksilver Quills Best Male Original Character runner-up Jordan Potter, Best Female Original Character nominees Ivy Potter, Haley Potter, Emma Weasley, and Giorgi Anderson, and Best Male Original Character nominee Ted Lupin! Nominated for 2008 Quicksilver Quills Best Post-Hogwarts Story.
Date: 07/22/08 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2: In Which Tyrone Makes Dorkiness Cool
GlubbaBLAHHHHH!!!!!!! What?!!?!?!?!! Noooo!!!!! What is up with you, Schmergo?!?!! Ivy has to have a nice, happy, care-free life now that her evil dad's gone and she's happy with Ted and she has amazing parents who will do anything for her...no, no, no, this can't happen!!!! Make her stay with the Potters, please with a cherry on it???????
Hahaha, I love the Jordan/Giorgi-ness...it is awesome. (For lack of a better, non-overused adjective...) Ha, I can just picture Giorgi force feeding Jordan jellybeans...that is the best mental image I've had in a long time. Well, it was until Tyroonie came on the scene. *sigh* *gets over her swooning spree because Emma will surely kill her if she finds out, whether Emma wants to admit her undying love for Tyrone or not*
Ha, I might have to keep a tally of Ivy's blushes, too...ha :)
I love all the WWW products. They're brilliant. Ooh, what is Emma going to use the special jump-off-cliffs bean-majiggers? This shall be...interesting.
Okay, I should probably scan in my pictures for your contest... *contemplates whether she'd get in trouble as she isn't really supposed to be on the computer now...* *decides: "what's the harm? my mum's gone and it'll take all of 5 minutes. then I promise I'll clean my room."* *goes off to submit or whatever*
Author's Response: GlubbaBLAHHHHH???? Is that any way to greet your old friend! ^_^ As for Ivy, you'll see inthe next chapter. Hey, the best way to get Emma to declare her undying love would probably be to make her jealous! Want to help with that? ^_^ I love writing about Jordan and Giorgi. Their interactions are so much fun. But even more than that, I love writing about the wacky Weasley Wizard products. OOOH! If you were to submit, I'd be such a happy camper that I'd share my s'mores with you! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Date: 06/17/09 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16: In Which Emma and Ted Are Just A Tad Cranky
Oooh, I really love this chapter. It's so much angstier than, like, everything you've written on MNFF, but it still has those little bits of Schmerg-humour--"Tyrone Thomas was foaming at the mouth..."
I have to say--Ivy reminds me of me. I can see myself going "Uh....wow. Wow...." to a question like Tyrone asked her. Your characters are all so unique (actually, they're just unique, because my grandpa says that nothing can be more than just 'unique,' because 'unique' is an extreme in itself.....or something. It made sense when he described it.....)
I like how you described Tyrone. If you remember, which you probably don't, I didn't used to like Tyrone. He bugged me. But that's because I didn't know the awkward 11 year old he was, and people who are popular like Tyrone bother me. Maybe because I'm not popular....? But then, I don't have the slightest desire to be, so.....I dunno.
(This is kind of weird; I feel like I should be writing a spazzical review like usual, but this wasn't a spazzical chapter at all and therefore doesn't demand that sort of review. Have you ever noticed how that works with stories?)
Anyway, I should leave now in order to wake up at a decent time for my youth church camp thing (YAY!!!) And so, on that note, I'll go to sleep. I eagerly await your next chapter.
Seriously.
Author's Response: Whoa, hey there! Yeah, this was a pretty angsty chapter... but it's funny, because every time I post something angsty, everyone says, "This is angstier than anything else you've written." So I think I just keep topping myself in terms of angstiness.
Thanks so much for the compliments on the characters! I get really, really, attached to them... sometimes I worry about myself! ^_^
I love Tyrone so much, and he's the character who I've been introducing in little increments bit by bit-- the others, we kind of all got to meet at once and just developed from there, but Tyrone is the one who is really a mystery at first. He just looks like a self-absorbed jock at first, but he has so much personality and so many quirks, and he's so much fun to write... I'm so glad that now readers get to know him, too!
But yeah, most of the characters I write about are outsiders, just because outsiders make for much better reading-- normal is boring, especially for fictional characters! So we have characters like Giorgi, Anatoly, Vladislav, and Arden, none of whom really had any friends 'till they met the Pentagon, and then everyone in the Pentagon itself is a little bit of a freak to boot! So now you see why Tyrone is more attracted to that group than the other more popular people-- because he relates to them better. He knows how it feels to be a loser.
Have fun at church camp! Next week, I'm going to this horrible thing called Girls' State at some college where we have to pretend we're in government... luckily, it'll only be for a week.
Date: 12/06/08 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9: In Which Jordan Loses His Marbles
BAHHH! You've updated!!!!! eeeee!!!!!!
I'm kind of...scared of Jordan, actually. He's disturbing and/or but mostly and disturbed. He needs a barrel of happy pills and a good slap upside the head. Then he will be happy and not slightly deranged.
Except, that would be weird. i had this mental image of Jordan acting like Haley, sparkles and all, and it's not right. And that's what would happen if Jordan took a barrel of happy pills.
Now on to what I was GOING to tell you. (I really did think of you the second I read this....or, of Haley...)
Wait...is it illegal to post spoilers of Beedle the Bard up here? Um... *looks around surreptitiously*
********SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!**************
(a mere precaution. Don't read this if you've not read Beedle the Bard and do not want to be spoiled.)
In Dumbledore's commentary of The Fountain of Fair Fortune, there is mention of a certain Wizarding acadamy for the dramatic arts called the Wizarding Academy for the Dramatic Arts. GAHHHH!!!!! THAT WILL BE, LIKE, HALEY'S NEW HOME!!!!!
ANd that is all, because it's midnight fortyfive and I'm dead in the computer chair.
Author's Response: INDEED I HAVE! And expect another update quite soon! Okay, Happy Pills Jordan is my favourite mental image of the day, I have to say. Now... I have not read Beedle the Bard, but THAT IS SO TOTALLY AWESOME! Dude, Haley needs to go there. She would find OTHERS OF HER KIND!!! And now, instead of wanting to go to Hogwarts, I have a new dream school...
