Myself: I am not that great at summarizing myself, so bear with me. I am young, gullible, and imaginative; these qualities tend to make me overly obsessed with the worst stories. Reading is like a second oxygen to me. I absolutely love Harry Potter and A Great and Terrible Beauty. I tend to put myself and others into stories I read; seriously, it makes it that much better when it's a Hermione/Sirius story on paper but in my head it is a Rissa/Sirius story. That pairing doesn't even sound good. : I love writing; I always have and always will. I plan to someday write an entire story in Spanish. I'm getting there, slowly.

Personal Philosophy: To be content and wise, you must walk in others' shoes and understand their point of view, while thoroughly understanding your own beliefs, standing by them, and never letting them falter.

Stories: Mostly, I read romance stories. I am absolutely ashamed of this, and considering how much I made fun of my sister for buying novels like this, I very well should be. My favorite pairings would have to be Sirius/Hermione, Remus/Ginny, and Snape/JustAboutAnyone for Harry Potter and Kartik/Gemma for AGATB (you have to root for the inevitable, sometimes). Slash stories never seem to strike me as believable unless it is the classic "Sirius is questioning his sexuality, so he seeks Remus' help." and even that is far fetched. I mean Sirius was the "ladies man" of the Marauders; I find it hard to believe that he could be batting for the home team.

Writings in Progress: The Carving: A multiple chapter romance that may or may not be finished. The rating has a one in three chance of being raised to M, just to be on the safe side (mostly for language and strongly implied sex). Celtics totally rule. (Yeah, if you haven't read it, but more likely if you have and haven't gone over anything Celtic, you won't understand that one.) I've Always Loved You: Lily Evans was on her way to Hogwarts when she met James and his old crew. It was the entire basis for her apparent hatred towards him. Can she over come this memory during her last two years at school? Tiny Vessels: Sirius is accepted into a foreign exchange program during which he will travel to two schools in America. Based off of Death Cab for Cutie's song "Tiny Vessels" If you read my stories, please review, but be kind about it (well, as much as possible; I understand that sometimes I just need slapped with harsh criticism for wretched writing). If you are going to be sarcastic, make it obvious, because it usually just comes off as idiotic and annoying.

Disclaimer: For every story that I write, I do not own anything besides the plot and any original characters. Please don't be mad at me. (Shouldn't it be obvious that we are not claiming these stories as our own, considering they are posted on a fan-fiction site? I would think so.) El Fin.
