I am officially a published author. I work with Less Than Three Press and it's been a wonderful experience so far. I have seven books out, with at seven more on the way. The Dragon's Hoard is my first series and I'm really proud of it! For more information please check out my website: http:///

I'm also sorry to say that as long as I'm focusing on getting my original fiction published, I will not have the time or energy to write any more fanfiction. Please continue to read and enjoy everything I have written here on fanfiction.net and follow me over to LT3 if you want to read anything else I've written.

Thanks,

Mell

12.21.11 I don't think I will ever work on my fanfiction again. I am sorry that none of my unfinished stories will ever be completed, but please continue to enjoy the ones that are finished.

I would like to announce that very soon I will be a published author!!! It's original slash fiction. Check out my homepage for more information and please buy my books! https:///site/melleightfiction/

Thanks,

Mell8

I am officially putting myself on permanent hiatus. I haven't felt the urge to write fanfiction in over two years and I don't foresee that changing any time soon. I would like to apologize to all my readers who want more chapters, but at this point all incomplete stories will stay that way indefinitely. I will leave all my stories up and available as they are now, but don't look for any future updates from me.

Sorry,

Mell8

I've been keeping an eye on the Israel-Hamas conflict and I have to say that Israel was totally in the right this time. If Hamas had done good things for Gaza, like trying to stimulate the economy, build schools and hospitals, and if they tried peaceful means to get over their grievances with Israel, instead of buying rockets and playing with Iran, then this never would have happened. I'm sorry so many were killed on both sides, but sometimes you have to answer a fist with a fist, which is what Israel had to do once they realized that words and peaceful negotiations (like the fact that Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005 to ensure peace with the Palestinians...gee that worked...) had failed. I only wish the world community and the UN would look past the broken buildings in Gaza to the actual root of the problem.

Mell8's fic writing challenge:

So I saw everyone writing Rowan-Greenleaf's challenge and I thought, hmm, I've had this challenge up for months without anything being written for it, (yes, I was jealous). So I'm going to emphasize it and hope someone reads this...

Requirements-

-D/G/B darkfic
-Draco and Blaise are evil, Voldemort loving or just Dark loving wizards
-Ginny is an innocent
-Through some turn of events Draco and Blaise manage to co-opt Ginny into their lives permanently

No-no's-

-Ginny's time in the Chamber/Tom Riddle effecting her or Ginny having Dark tendencies beforehand

Preferences (but not requirements)-

-No main character death, (ie. D/G/B are all still together at the end of the fic)
-Torture is fine if that fits your plot but I'd prefer if D/G/B are still beautiful at the end of their torture session

Otherwise-

-Have fun!
-No other plot specifics, length, or other ships required
-Rating can be anything you want
-If you want to be inventive with the requirements (ie, only D/G or B/G or D/B) then PM me and we'll talk
-I'd like it if you contacted me if you're writing this challenge so I know to read it!

This Is My Disclaimer for all of my stories: I do not own Harry Potter or anything relating to Harry Potter. These stories are purely a work of fiction and are the children of my imagination when coupled with JKR's brilliant world. If I have accidentally borrowed something from one of your stories, please understand that it was not on purpose.

-The Harry Potter Lexicon is a godsend and all my HP facts are taken from there. I don't own the Lexicon, but I love them.

-I beta read my own work. This means that more mistakes are missed than most people who have outside beta readers. Please excuse the small mistakes and if there are any big ones, please tell me so I can fix them!

To my reviewers: I do love you. I love every one of you. I'm just a lazy bum with too much homework. That's why you might see a small blurb at the end of a chapter thanking you, but you won't see specific responses unless you've said something that really makes me twitch (in happiness or despair).
Hugs, kisses, and keep those reviews coming.

-=my own favorites among my stories!

I have posted something new and innovative on fictionpress. It is called "Why I Won't Read Your Story, or conversely, Why I Will."

Here's the summary: My step-by-step, completely egocentric—yet strangely informative—guide :rant: to why I will not read your story, and conversely, why I will.

And here's the link: http://www.fictionpress.info/s/2665390/1/Why_I_Will_Not_Read_Your_Story

I just found this story in the Fire and Ice Library and I think everyone should read it. Sea of Waking Dreams is by far the best story I have ever read. It is a D/G but it isn't posted at this site and it is unbelievably good. Check it out.

Also, an interesting D/G site to check out is-
http://
It is a site completely devoted to Draco/Ginny stories.

Other sites where I have my fanfiction posted are:
-Mugglenet fanfiction

I also have some original fiction posted on fictionpress.com under the same pen name!

You should go check them out and post your own work!

XOXO
