CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS LIKE CANDY TO ME. PLEASE, R&R. (:

More than likely, if I've been lurking around the site, I'll do the same for something of yours.

There isn't much about me that you need to know; I'm really not that interesting.

I'm nearly a twenty-four-year old girl that has an unhealthy obsession with Harry Potter and a need to express this obsession through the occasional fanfiction because she struggles with developing her own characters.

I love to write—when I'm in the mood to, it makes me ridiculously happy, verging on hyperactive. I have a strange obsession with em dashes and use them often, and no doubt quite frequently incorrectly, in my stories. I think it would be wonderful to become an author but I have little faith that it will happen because most days, I'm perfectly content writing in another person's universe.

I'm my own worst critic and am well aware that I am absolutely horrid at finishing stories, which is why most of my recent stuff is written in a one-shot format. I've had a major plot bunny for the past four or five years, however, so maybe my one-shot streak will turn around soon.

No, I haven't really considered going through and deleting my old stories, even though I have no real plans of continuing them. I kind of like the fact that they're on here. They show how I've grown over the years and how my writing style has grown with me. When I started writing fanfiction here I was but fourteen or fifteen and I'm very aware that it shows. What ever flames are thrown their way will be compiled into a bonfire for s'mores.

If you'd like to get to know me, the girl behind the pen-name, feel free to PM me.

PLEASE?

I have a few requests. Well, sort of, anyway.

As of 8/30/2012.

I want you to challenge me. If you'd like to see something written, feel free to run the idea by me and, chances are, I'll give it a go. In other words, please, please challenge me! Challenges are my writer's block medicine. If you'd like to give me a challenge, there are only two rules; it must be in a book category I've already written under and it cannot be novel-length. If you're interested in doing this, email me!

Moving on.

I am almost always looking for new roleplay partners. Unfortunately, as of now, I only roleplay in the Harry Potter fandom, but I've several originals and canons. My canons are as follow and are listed from most developed to least developed.

• Draco Malfoy
• Harry Potter
• Theodore Nott
• Severus Snape

These characters are all slash but I may be persuaded into playing them straight. If you're interested in roleplaying with me, please shoot me a PM!

Information regarding Saved: Please, please continue to review! I love you all and your encouragement is much needed--but telling me how ridiculous it is that I'm no longer updating every two days is probably not. Life happens. Real life, and I'd appreciate it if you would all respect that. That being said, I do love hearing from you all.
