Personal Info: I was born in 1992, so I'm the same age as Miley Cyrus. I do imagine than I'm smarter than her, though. I'm also Australian, which explains the British spelling/idioms. I got into Harry Potter when I was in the Fourth Grade; I read all the available books (PS/SS to GoF) in two nights. They were the best nights of that year.

Teen Titans is probably the fandom I enjoy the most after Potterverse. Its blend of action (aka "serious business") with more lighthearted elements made it refreshing, when compared to many other Superhero shows on air. I still cling to the belief that the producers will produce a sixth season, although it isn't particularly likely. You never know, though! Maybe if the ratings are high during its reruns on Boomerang, they'll renew it!

DH wasn't very fun for me, mainly because Hermione became the magical band-aid solution to everything, and Harry lost his characteristic resourceful edge - where's the boy who freed Dobby when nobody was expecting it, or the boy who repelled all those Dementors, or the boy who trained up for the Triwizard Tournament, or the boy who led Dumbledore's Army?

But DH still had its moments: Harry's "persuading" of Kreacher was good, the Gringotts escape sequence was fun, and the thematic thread of "death" did tie up the series nicely.

On HP Fanfiction: Favourite pairings include Harry/Luna, Neville/Luna, and Ron/Hermione (for the last pairing, ONLY if Ron isn't the idiot/jerk/berk he was often in canon, too often. So, more correctly, I like Hermione/redeemed-smart!Ron, the Ron from PS/SS who sacrificed himself on McGonagall's chessboard).

Seriously though, I'll read and enjoy most pairings, if the characters are IC and the fic is well-written. Exceptions to this rule are slash, not because I'm homophobic, but because I just find the idea of Harry going gay OOC for him and rather ludicrous.

My favourite type of Harry is Resourceful!Harry. This may be a Grey!Harry, a Slytherin!Harry, or a Dark!Harry, but not necessarily. All I want is that boy from Books 1-5 (and parts of 6 and 7) who can think of his feet, and is capable of great heroism.

On TT Fanfiction: Favourite pairings include RobStar, BBRae and KFJinx. But let's be honest here, RobRae has to be acknowledged even by the most ardent RobStar fans. The pale brunettes of the TT do have a deep bond of understanding (watch the End), and it's practically canon on Raven's side. It was confirmed in the TitansGo comics, I think.

Starfire has to be the hardest character to write well in TT fanfiction, even though she's one of my favourites. Writing her is like writing Luna - except with more Action Girl and more cheerful Ditz. It's not like writing Luna was a cakewalk to start with. O.o;;

CURRENT STORIES:

Harry Potter and the Tempus Tale

Summary: When Harry was about to go to Slughorn's with Dumbledore in HBP, something unforeseen happens. Now, he must tackle ancient fairy-tales and a mysterious, international organisation, before it's too late. HBP Divergence; Resourceful!Harry, non-slash.

HP&TT will also feature (hopefully) Competent!Voldemort, a redeemed Slytherin House, and De-Aging. Not Your Typical De-Aged HP story, hopefully. Partially inspired by Detective Conan.

Update: Currently up to Chapter Four; Chapter Five in progress.

A/N: On the note of pairings, I don't try to push them too hard. I prefer to write about friendships; romance will be there, but only in the background. Also, please don't automatically assume by my profile page that my favourite pairings will appear in the fic. Just because I like them doesn't necessarily mean that they're right for the story.

Firebird: Death and Rebirth

Summary: For years, Robin always wondered what it would be like to have superhuman powers. But some gifts can be curses. Such power can make you lonely, indeed. Emotions and alliances burn, as a lone bird destroys the world... and creates a new one from the ashes. Non-slash; not pairings-driven.

Expect lots of Robin, Slade and the psychological mess that comes from those two. Pairings will be taken from and/or inspired by both the cartoon canon and the comics canon.

Update: Currently up to Chapter Five; Chapter Six in progress.
