Magic in the memory
Of your hand in mine
Magic in the music
My heart beating in time
Magic in the unknown
To renew that sense of awe
Magic in the art
That inspires us all
Hidden, Enchanting, Forever,
Elusive Magic

About Me: I'm a teenage girl with a passion (okay, addiction) for writing. I am also the serial reviewer of fanfiction stories or stories on fictionpress, so if you're here about a review, know that I am being as honest as possible and offering constructive criticism to improve your work. Take my suggestions seriously, because I take you seriously, too.

My Writing: Short stories, poetry, fanfiction, chapter books - you name it. I write in real life as well as on fanfiction, and I've been writing seriously for over four years. Any genre is good if written well, though I do have a few favorite elements I love to see in a story. I can take criticism, and believe me, I will use it to improve my work. If I mess up, don't be afraid to call me out - it's the only way I'm going to get better.

My Stories:

Who? (Published July 31, 2009) Angst/Romance ~ Summary: One-shot. Set after MR5. The flock is flying and M-Geeks attack. Fang hits his head a little too hard. Will he survive? But more importantly, will Max? Fax, better than it sounds. Rated (T) just to be safe. JP owns all. My first story, yay! Pretty good, worth reading.

Quotable Quotes! (Published September 20, 2009) Humor/General ~ Summary: A oneshot of my favorite quotes from the Pendragon books. Short and funny. Major Spoilers, obviously, but a notice before Soldiers of Halla quotes. R&R, enjoy! Funny, brings back memories.

Coming soon: An abandon story that I beta'd for, and now I'm taking it over. Artemis Fowl / Maximum Ride crossover. Doing some heavy editing...slow going, but it's gonna be great. =D
