Hi, I'm a recently-graduated college student, finally about to become a productive member of society!

That being said, I use cheesy titles. I'm wacky with a sense of humor that I occasionally try to slip into my chapters. I hope to make you smile or capture your attention for a few hours, but if my writing isn't your style, no sweat!

This is a hobby, a side project where I blab about random things that catch my attention when vaguely thinking about certain fandoms. This isn't a job or a large part of my life; I don't do much fact-checking and I won't always remember things I've already written before. That being said... feel free to throw me a line if you see wrong information in a story, information being repeated, or 'who the heck is this? Like, you never mentioned this person before.'

Oh... Did you come here to learn about me as a person...? Oh, okay. I played Quidditch in college (Yes, it's an actual sport. Buncha' nerds running around an open field, holding sticks between our legs and tossing balls. Check it out on YouTube - we even have a World Cup). Um... My voice embarrasses me; my accent, combined with the odd pitch I have, gives people a pause. I'm still stuck in the 'boys have cooties' stage. Let's see... Bacon is life. I microwave chocolate chips with a dab of butter to make them get that crunchy 'burned chocolate' taste. My secret ingredient in pretty much anything is honey. I don't know what else you'd like to know...

Tip to all Fanfiction readers: Sometimes, you just have to write the fic. you want to read. Seriously. Go forth and write your heart out.

I only type for early in the morning, from around 2 to 4, during infrequent bouts of insomnia while eating highly sugary foods. It probably shows, too...

Fanfiction.net = Fan fiction. = Fan. Fiction.
Fan (NOUN): a person who has a strong interest in or admiration for a particular person or thing.
Fiction (NOUN): literature in the form of prose, especially short stories and novels, that describes imaginary events and people.
Therefore, I don't own it and take no credit for the franchise or any character from it, only the general plot for whatever I cook up. Maybe not even that. It depends. I mean, I might go over to 'live journals' and adopt a 'plot bunny.'

Random Grammar Tips for Writers (A.K.A. Stuff that Annoys Me and/or Trips Me Up):

Your: You own it
You're: 'You are'

Its: Possessive - belongs to 'it'
It's: Short for 'it is'

Who: Identifying pronoun for a person
Whom: The receiver of something (ex. To whom it may concern)
Who's: 'Who is'
Whose: Possessive (ex. Whose cup is this?)

Their: It belongs to them
There: Refers to location/position (in/at/to/etc, ex. over there)
They're: Shortened form of 'they are'

Nauseous: Has the ability to induce nausea (ex. That meat loaf is nauseous) Nauseated: When you feel ill/disgusted (ex. I was nauseated by the meat loaf.)

Farther: used for physical distance
Further: used for figurative distance

Weary: tired
Wary: cautious

Lose: lost your way, lose a bet, etc.
Loose: set free, your tooth is wriggly, etc.

'Anxious' is a fear. If you are 'anxious' to see your friends, that is a bad thing and means you're not looking forward to it. 'Alot' is not a word. Neither is 'impactful.' 'Broadcasted' isn't either, but it's becoming more common and accepted.

In speech (At least, in the U.S.): Put commas and periods inside the quotation marks. Colons and semicolons are placed outside. As for what to use? I'm bad at explaining, but this is my best shot:

Commas in Speech: If you put a variation of 'said' (ex. replied, answered, muttered, etc.) you generally have a comma. Ex:

I said, "No, sorry."
"Oh, hey," she said.

To make sure, remove the speech (quotation marks and everything inside them) and look at what is left - both 'I said' and 'she said' would be sentence fragments, not full sentences, so a comma is needed.

Periods in Speech:

The silence was broken. "Um, okay." That said, she looked away.

Both sentences, before and after the speech, are full sentences and the quotation is part of neither.

UPDATES: If I ever make a promise that I'm going to update something soon, don't take it seriously. Like I said before—not a job, just a pastime, I write spasdorically—this is not a big piece of my life. Just give some credit to my stubborness—I'm too mulish to leave something unfinished. I'll get there eventually. (Plus, isn't time relative or something?)

6/7/2020 Update: Theoretically, how would you guys feel about me starting yet another fic that I will doggedly manage to finish within the next decade?
