Hello there! Welcome to the profile page of LucyCrewe11!

F.A.Q:

Q: Hey, Lucy, wasn't there supposed to be a sequel to These Games We Play? Doesn't it say "end of Fanfiction one" at the end of that fic?

A: You are 100% CORRECT! A sequel WAS originally planned for These Games We Play, as I never intended it to be a stand-alone fic; however, among other problems, my notes for this sequel got lost during a computer crash and a flashdrive that got scrampled as well... This sequel will most likely never see the light of day.

Q: Okay, so what was the sequel to These Games We Play even supposed to be about?

A: As I said my notes were lost, but strictly from memory it was meant to concern four separate plotlines. 1) All of the stuff about Peter (and other victors) being mistreated after winning the hunger games was going to be explained in more detail, whereas it is only strongly implied in the "first" fic. 2) A love story between Peter and Susan. 3) Jill and Eustace's lives as fugitives after their escape. 4) Edmund and Lucy's lives as mentors, particularly Lucy's inability to cope and Edmund's growing anger over the situation. Again, I don't know if this will ever see the light of day, but yeah that's what it was supposed to be about. It was a much darker story than its predecessor. That's about all I recall.

Q: Isn't "A Year of Golden Silence" basically Speak / "The Leather Bound Journal" the same plot as The Notebook?

A: Guys, you have to understand, when those fics were written the popular trend in AU Narnia was to take an unrelated property and give it a Narnian makeover. At least in the writing circles I was familiar with at that time. So yes, Golden Silence was my "Narnian response" to Speak, I did my own thing with it but you'll recognize the story structure from the original. I don't know when the "Narnia version" of other stories trend died out, but my old fics that follow it seem to confuse a lot of people these days.

Q: Where's the Swan Lake Ed/Lu fic?

A: Nowhere. One was never even planned, though a lot of people seemed to think I intended to write it because of some Swan Princess fanvids I made with Edmund and Lucy a long time ago.

Q: So where are all your fanvids now, anyway?

A: Sigh. YouTube deleted/made me delete them after that hostile Google takeover. I still make videos (never stopped) I just don't have anywhere to safely post them at the moment. When/if I do, I'll totally share a link here.

Q: I followed your instructions in your A/N and I can't find the promised fanfic trailers! Where are they?

A: You are several years too late. See the above question.

Q: Can I message you just to say hi?

A: By all means, send me a PM! Here or on my other account is fine. Whichever you prefer. OR find me on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/lovetolovefairytales

Q: Why do you have two accounts/pennames?

A: Long story. It started out as a way to "hide" my authorship of Merlin fics. At the time, somebody who knew me as LucyCrewe11 didn't know I watched that show. They were really whining at me to read/watch Harry Potter, and because I declined to do so, I thought they'd freak out if they found out I was a Merlin fan. I ended up telling them anyway, and I wish I hadn't, but yeah the purpose got sorta defeated.

Q: Didn't your penname on that account used to be Adelina Le Morte March?

A: Yes, I changed it. It's Raphaela Crowley now.

Q: Is "Raphaela Crowley" a Good Omens reference?

A: Erm, sort of. The Crowley part definitely is. It's kind of an in joke with myself because I've only ever changed either of my pennames once so it was a reference to the whole Crawly/Crowley thing. The Raphaela thing is actually because of another book entirely, Rapunzel Let Down. The fact that there's a fan theory that Crowley was originally the angel Raphael is just a coincidence.

I didn't put the names together for that reason, it just sort of happened, and honestly I'm glad it did.

Q: Are you going to change your penname on this account too?

A: Never!

Q: How do I know if one of your fics has been discontinued or not?

A: Most of my discontinued fanfictions (the ones written under LucyCrewe11) literally have images that say "Discontinued" on them. Under Raphaela Crowley, the Serendipity inspired modern Merlin fic is currently discontinued for the foreseeable future. My Grimm crossover was never officially discontinued, I just took a long time to update; anyway, it's completed now. The final chapter/ending has finally been posted.

Q: I think some of your stories are missing, did you delete them?

A: My policy is generally NEVER to delete stories, particularly if ANYONE has favorited it and seemed to enjoy it. I wouldn't want any of my favorites to disappear without warning, so I try not to do that to other readers. I also like to show my progress. Am I a little embarrassed by, say, my H2o/Narnia crossovers or the Lucy's Quest stories now that I'm an adult? Sure, mildly. I wrote them when I was seventeen, I'm lucky they were even coherent. But a lot of people seem to really love them, so you can keep them, mates, my gift to you. No skin off my nose to keep them posted. However, I did delete "Here With Me Now" because, not only did I do a horrible job writing it, it was a songfic which I hadn't realized FFN didn't support when I first posted it. It's been gone awhile, I don't even know if I still have a back up of that one. I also deleted "Family Curse ED" for personal reasons -- but nobody reviewed or favorited that one, so I think I'm in the clear. If by some bizarre chance, you are here looking for family Curse ED, though, don't freak, I have a backup, just PM me and I will try to send you a copy. Most likely, if there was a story you liked of mine, it's still here, look around, you'll find it.

(If you're looking for "This Is When We Say Goodbye" it's under Raphaela Crowley.)

Q: Did you write (insert random Ed/Lu fic from 2008-2012)?

A: If it's not on this account, it wasn't one of mine. All my Edmund/Lucy fics were posted here, and are still here.

Q: Will you update "The Darkest Light"?

A: No. I wrote that in 2008. My seventeen-year-old self is not a good co-author for me to work with. She refused to do any research, and she's not sticking older, more responsible me with all the work; I refuse.

Q: I left you a question in a review, why didn't you answer it?

A: If it was a signed review, this was probably just an oversight. Just make sure you were signed in or go ahead and create an account; I cannot reply to unsigned reviews.

Q: Can I translate one of your Fanfics?

A: Most likely my answer is going to be yes, but don't do this without talking to me first via message, please. I would like to know which language you wish to translate it into and where you are going to post it for a start.

Q: Do the above two questions/answers apply to your Raphaela Crowley account as well?

A: Yes.

Q: Speaking of your Raphaela Crowley account, why do you write Aziraphale as being in the Ninth Choir in your Good Omens fics? Shouldn't he be in the eighth? Because he's a Principality?

A: He IS in the Ninth. Listen to episode one of the audio drama if you don't believe me. That's how he introduces himself when he's writing his theories on the universe, right before the scene with Hastur and Ligur waiting for Crowley.

Q: Lovely weather we're having for this time of year, isn't it?

A: You really should not ask such personal questions.

The 27 Commandments of Fanfiction

1. Thou shalt not post a fic until it has been checked for grammar and spelling errors. The fanfiction gods hath given you a spellchecker on the computer for good reason. Use it.
2. Thou shalt not post a chapter of less than 100 words, unless it is a drabble. This displeases the masses.
3. Thou shalt not put author's notes in the middle of the story.
4. Thou shalt NEVER use text-speak in a fic, unless the characters are actually texting.
5. Thou shalt keep to one tense, and only one, throughout the story. Do not switch randomly.
6. Apply the above number 5 to POVs as well.
7. Thou shalt not get offended when someone makes fun of the crack pairing featured in your fanfiction. It probably is rather hilarious.
8. Thou shalt not use :) , ;D , or :( in a fanfiction to show the emotion exhibited by a character.
9. Thou shalt try-eth to keep characters in character!
10. Thou shalt not treat every criticism as a flame.
11. The author's note is not a spot for your personal drama, and thou shalt not make it so.
12. Thou shalt not put any form of the phrase "first fic" in thy summary.
13. Thy created characters must not have names that exceed five syllables in length. Nor shall thy name have more than five words in length.
14. Thou shalt not insert thyself into the story line as thyself or as a character- yes we know that you are in love with yourself and are very narcissistic, we just don’t want to read about how you end up with the main character.
15. If thou art writing a story that does not follow the original story line, point it out in the beginning.
16. Thou shall not make a person randomly smart or powerful unless stating a reason for the change (a good reason).
17. Thou shalt show and not tell.
18. Thou shalt not EVER use the phrase "I suck at summaries" in-est thine summary. This annoys thine readers.
19. Thou shalt not write the same way thou speak-est - writing is an art.
20. Thou shalt ALWAYS spell the word "okay" correctly. Using the letter "K" is an unacceptable compromise.
21. Thou shalt only use clichés when thou a) art writing a parody or b) find a new and interesting twist to make such clichés bearable to thine reader.
22. Thou shalt always separate dialogue from two separate speakers in two separate paragraphs. Otherwise thine readers shalt be confuse-ed.
23. Thou shalt not EVER make a chapter all one paragraph. THIS INFURIATES BOTH THINE READER AND THE FANFICTION GODS. They have given thee an ENTER key with good reason.
24. Thou shalt not write with thy caps lock on, it displeases the masses and causes thy readers to lose their vision and make angels weep.
25. Thou shalt know how to spell the character's names correctly before you writeth the fic. Misspelling the name of the main characters makes readers angry and distracts from the story.
26. Thou shalt not say in thine summary "summary inside". This shows lack of creativeness and infuriates the masses. The only exception is when a summary is cut short and a continuation of it lies inside.
27. Thou shall use paragraphs and space the story so it is not terrifyingly daunting to thine readers.
