Hey there, I'm Marion... the author of the below stories, as I'm sure you've already surmised. I'm currently attending university in Edinburgh, Scotland, but I hail from the good ol' US of A originally - so forgive me if my characters speak American English... Now, a word of caution, before you get any further.

I'm horrible. Despite how much I enjoy writing, and how much I love hearing what you all think about my stories, I'm a disaster when it comes to actually updating... Life always seems to get in the way. So again, I caution you. Get involved with these stories. Enjoy them, badger me about them, send me ideas - I'm open to everything... just make sure you keep me on my toes, or I'm likely to fall back into my nice, lazy habits. :) Oh, also, if you're reading this to find out what ships and stuff I promote, I'm going to annouce myself a STAUNCH Ron/Hermione fan. It's just reality, folks. But then, to contradict what I've just said, I'm also a big fan of the Ginny/Draco idea. However unrealistic it may be. I'm open to most ships, as long as they're plausible, but I only write those that I can believe... otherwise I'd be totally stuck.

Anyway, here's some brief info about each of my stories - I hope you find them interesting, and feedback is always welcome!

Puddlemere: A story from the Days of Old... this was from back when my friend Carrie and I were collaborating. However, life happened, and we haven't been able to work on it together in ages. A lot of ages. Don't give it up for lost, though. It's a secret dream of mine to go back through and revamp this story - I think it could use a serious face lift, and I'd reeeaally like to do it when I have lots of time.

A Typical Day in the Life of Ronald Weasley: One-shot. This was originally intended to be the first in a series of 'Day in the Life of' stories, and that's another project I'd love to get going. All I'm waiting for here is the right late-night inspiration. Stay tuned.

A Typical Day in the Life of Neville Longbottom: Second 'Day in the Life of' story, also one-shot. I hope you enjoy it. :)

The Dangers of Leaving Candy Unattended: One-shot. Hopefully enjoyable. Nothing more to explain here, really. Heh.

Caper Number Seven-Hundred and Twelve: Again, please do not give this up for lost. For a while, I had really lost the inspiration to finish this, and that was frustrating, because I don't like leaving things unfinished. But I plan to get this one rolling again, it just requires some serious planning.

My Fair Weasley: Ah yes. The whopper. First off, let me start with yet another apology to the readers of this story concerning my horribly erratic updates. But I should hope that by now you've learned not to give up, since this is my pet project. My baby. And it WILL be completed. This I promise you. So please just stick around. :)

So, that's pretty much it. I love love love hearing from people that read and enjoy my stories, so please feel free to email me with ideas or comments or anything. Also, please check out the authors and stories on my favorites lists, they are fantastic, and ever so much better than mine. Especially Weasleys to the Rescue, by none other than my big sister and her friend, and Rising Depths, by my bigger sister. :)
