Hello everyone!

First of all, thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed, followed, and favorite-ed my work. I was absolutely floored going through my personal email and finding so many since I had last been on here.

Now, for an update: It has been a wild two years since I last logged on to fanfiction.net. I graduated with my BS in Chemistry and I am now in graduate school for a MS in chemistry. I do research full time and I teach laboratory classes as well. Transitioning to graduate school had left me with almost no time to myself, but now that my first year is done I feel confident that I can attempt to do things that don't involve studying and still be successful. As such, I am vowing to start writing again. One of the other MS students in my lab was talking about his star wars fanfiction the other day, and it made me miss mine oh so much.

Know that it will be a slow process, but it will happen. I am determined.

"I, Tanna Jade Carien, have challenged myself! I'm proud to be a part of the HPFC forum."

My general disclaimer: Just about everything I use in my writing on here is the property of the original creators. Sadly, I am not one of them. Unless there's a random OC, but you know that already!

My Stories:

Jar of Hearts: A Ron/Hermione fic based on the song of the same name. My first attempt at a songfic, and even though it isn't the greatest, I like it!

Iron Crosses: These are a collection of drabbles for the 30 drabbles, 30 days contest on the HPFC forum that was issued by Mystii. Each is about Fred and Hermione's growing relationship. I failed miserably at getting them in on time, but I finished on the 31st of August! Yay!

Hermione's Memories: Based on the 10 things I hate about you challenge. Rose finds Hermione's scrapbook from her days at Hogwarts. After DH, Epilogue compliant.

Beautiful Ravenclaw: This is a free verse poem I wrote for Mystii's Free Verse Competition on the HPFC forums. It's my first, both for free verse and Blaise/Luna.

F a l l i n g: So, this is another Free verse for the competition. This is the one that's going to be judged. Um, it's Percy/Audrey from Audrey's pov.

The Love of Scorpius: This is for the Try Something New Challenge. Scorpius is trying to tell Draco that he's in love with the daughter of one of his father's enemy's from school.

Charms Lovers: This was for the Daring, Different, Dangerous challenge. This is about Vicky and her horrible potions day!

Gryffindor Colors: This was another challenge response, for the "Things I am not allowed to do at Hogwarts" challenge. Fred/Hermione oneshot.

Obsidian Night: From Hermione's POV, a story told with no dialogue. I rather enjoyed this challenge.

The Walls Come Crashing Down: A 3 challenge response. Dramione. Oneshot. Takes place after the war, ignoring the epilogue.

Not Just Another Day: This is a companion fic of sorts to The Love of Scorpius. Scorpius, after having let slip his intentions to his father, has steeled himself up to ask Rose for her hand in marriage. Can be read separately, also fits in after Hermione's Memories.

Windows: This is my first pure fluff fic. Makorra. Mako can't sleep and sneaks over to Air Temple Island to visit Korra.
