Ruby-Jo Grapefruithide bio
 Author has written 8 stories for Harry Potter. Hi there! You've reached the profile of me, Ruby-Jo Grapefruit, or more commonly known by my given name, Ruby. I have a pretty normal life really - I'm 22 years old, and live with my fiance in the north of England. I have four sisters, three nephews, a niece, and my own little bundle of joy due June 2013. :) I work as a receptionist at a vet's surgery and will be going on maternity leave in May, so will have more time to write then! I LOVE to read fanfiction, especially Harry Potter, Buffy, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Prison Break, and my newest obsession, The Dark Knight. I can't abide self-insertions, sloppy writing or bad grammar. I'm picky about what I read and I'm VERY hard to impress, so trust me, anything on my favourites list is excellent and definitely worth reading. All my fanfic is Harry Potter - I've tried my hand at other stuff, but none of it's been good enough to publish yet! Mysterious Ways is finally complete! I am working on the sequel, entitled Aftermath, which will be from Lily's point of view. In addition, I am writing another chaptered fic entitled Forgiveness, which is an AU story focusing on Draco/Hermione. I have a few other little oneshots in the pipeline, so stay tuned everyone. :) P.S. Check out my one-shot, Not Just For Storing Brooms, Weasley - this is my most popular story to date and has been read aloud in the form of a radioplay on FictionCast. Yes, shameless self-plugging, I know, but I was very proud. :D | |||||||
