Hi there!

I am Crystal. I'm a wife and mother of two and plenty old enough to not be reading or writing fanfiction, but I have a degree in creative writing that I intend to put to good use at some point and figure that this is good practice in the mean time. And it kinda helps to keep the creative juices flowing, so there you go.

I've got some Harry Potter fics posted. Proud Harmony shipper here! I've also recently posted a few Percy Jackson fics. Bring on the Percabeth! My newest stories are from the How To Train Your Dragon fandom. And I've got a few Christian poems and such on here, too.

I hope that you'll read my stories, and please leave a review. Let me know what you think; I'm not afraid of constructive criticism. If you don't like something, let me know. If you liked something, let me know that too. I do ask that you do not send me flames, and to please not use foul language in your review. In my opinion, people who post things on this website have worked very hard to provide entertainment for the public with no compensation for their efforts. Authors should be respected, even if the reader dislikes their work. I do not use foul language in my reviews, and simply ask that you don't either.

On to happier things...Mind if I preach for a moment? I want you to know that regardless of what's going on in your life right now and however unloveable you think you are, there is someone you cares about you and loves you. That is the one who is called "I AM." I AM is God. Yes, God as in Heaven, Jesus, Adam and Eve, Holy Bible - God. Did you know that He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross for your sins? Not only did He die for you, but also for me and every other person that is living on this Earth, or has lived on this Earth! Incredible, huh! That, my friend, is love. Something so powerful that it can save you from the firey depths of Hell itself! However, before you can be saved, there are three things you have to do: admit, ask, and accept. Admit you are a sinner in need of God's grace and forgiveness. Ask for Jesus to have mercy on you and save you from the clutches of Satan. Accept His gift of salvation. It's that simple. You do have to truly mean what you say, however. Unlike in Harry Potter, these are not magic words that can simply save you if you say them. You have to have what is called faith because you are saved by grace through faith. God's grace - your faith. "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1 - NIV) That's all there is to it.

I hope that you have a great life. Hopefully,one day I'll see you in Heaven! God bless you and take care! It's been nice meeting you!

One final random thought:

I'm a full-grown married woman with two kids, and the (over-used) phrase "their lips moved in perfect sync" makes absolutely no sense to me. And it just sounds really strange. Like are they computer algorithms or something? I get fighting in sync, but lips moving in sync only makes sense if someone is speaking with their mouths and translating into sign language with their hands. But, maybe that's just me.

Anyway...Ta-ta!

See you in the funny pages!
