UPDATE 2017: 8/22: Contrary to belief, I am not dead. It's my final semester of college, and time is tough. This may be an excuse, the real reason is that I am such a horrible self-critic than I can hardly write a thousand words without deleting them all. To Update the LoU story. I have about 10,000 words written overall, but I don't want to start posting until I can get past the self criticism and work on the story at a steady pace. To update HaR. With my outlines gone, I lost nearly all of the in between years. I even had the final chapter written, which was lost as well. I'm sorry for the delay, I will pick it up someday, but I wouldn't expect this year.

UPDATE 2015: In a freak accident, all of the pre-writing I've accomplished has been lost. That includes notebooks of details, outlines, and already written work. It is quite depressing to rebegin the months of work. Currently I'm dusting off an old outline for a very different story from a different genre, so follow if you are interested in new updates!

Ending to the HaR is fully written, so don't think I don't know exactly where it's going!

BIO:

I'm a college student who absolutely detests every English class I have ever taken, every teacher I have had would be surprised that I have a story written on my own time that's over 250 pages!

I don't feel it's right to the people that read my story for me to pursue writing other projects. I have tens of ideas, and would love to be able to experiment with characters in a more mature setting. Writing dialogue for young adults is hard to get in their mindset and make it believable. Thats a big reason why so much has happened to the characters to age them up a bit in their mind.

My top ten HP Fanfics:

This is subject to change, and isn't me talking about the quality of a fanfic, it talks about my personal enjoyment. Some I haven't read in years, but have great memories of. Story 1,2, and 4, I reread multiple times a year. If you think I forgot one, I'm sure I did. There are stories that didn't make it, they just didn't fit. 'This means War' being one of them. I read it once, enjoyed it once, and didn't pick it up again, but it is a building block of HG fanfiction.

1. Backwards with Purpose Part 1

It isn't even close, it really isn't. This story is iconic, and I find myself reading it two or three times a year. The premise is simple, The war took too many innocent lives, so a broken Harry, Ginny, and Ron hatch a plan to go back in time. The problem is that their foreknowledge doesn't make much difference because a mysterious figure Merlin dogs Harry's steps. The characters we love are placed in iconic situations and it had me fooled until the very end. Snape is written perfectly and you look forward to his scenes more than almost any. Dumbledore is done perfectly(if a bit too okay with blood), as well as Sirius. The Lockhart Trial, The Drinking Scene, the dialogue with Snape, and the phrase I use every day of my life. If you want me to find a flaw, it's that there isn't enough Ron. He's the best written Ron I can think of in fanfiction. This is the only story I've read that didn't ruin the time travel with a blabbering lead, and has no cliche nonsense about becoming an animagus in a week. This is a must read, and will be my favorite fanfic, for 'Always and Always.'

2. Nightmares of Futures Past

It's not hard to figure out why this one is up here. It's smart, thought out, and not a lot of filler. This is a similar premise to the one above, the war took too many lives and Harry is all that is left. There are enough twists to keep it interesting and very few cliches. Besides the fact that it is still not completed, the one knock I have on the story is that Harry is in a hurry to tell everyone he can about the time travel.

3. Runespoor Shield

Some say this is overrated. It's not as simple a premise, and the secrets keep you guessing. This story will always have a place in my heart, and is to date the only story that has ever made me cry. Some would say it is rife with cliches, but it was so early and read, it made many of those cliches. Problems? Yeah, but it's peaks are so high, and the lows don't mess them up.

4. Erasing the Future

You have to work hard not to see a theme in my preferences. I enjoy Hogwarts stories, and that limits a lot of the Post-Hogwarts stories I read. Harry deals with the travel perfectly, pretending to go through Hogwarts as a squib. He allows Ginny to keep that damn diary and the best part of the story is Harry struggling with comforting her through the process that he plays a massive part in. It has a scene in the third year that is in my top ten scenes in reading, however it ruins a major premise of the story and it doesn't recover content wise after it. I Believe the author is writing again, which is very exciting, but he could use far fewer flashbacks. I skip anything I think is filler, and flashbacks fall into that camp.

5. Terrifying Momentum

Speaking of filler. Caleb Nova has an incredibly fresh, unique, and sidesplittingly funny take on the HP Universe. He creates a fictional race that is responsible for working in the shadows to help make sure that everyone destiny is achieved. Scott is foul mouthed and vulgar, saying things from an outsider perceptive that make you laugh and think a little bit differently about the Universe. In a lot of ways His OC is a combination of what we would envision ourselves to be inside a fanfic, and a bull in a china shop. Possibly the best dialogue based fic out there. The problems... FILLER. The author doesn't mean to provide filler, it's kind of necessary. He wants to give background on the character, his race, his people, his government, his adventure, etc. The problem is? I don't read HP fanfics to hear about an OC. He's my favorite OC, and I hate OC's generally. I love his scenes, but I don't need a lot of backstory and flashbacks. He also doesn't do a good job of incorporating Ginny into the story, shes mostly silent, though very present in the ongoing sequel. If you don't have a problem with language, and you know how to skip backstory, this is a great fic and has one of my highest re-read values.

6. The Seventh Horocrux

The only reason this isn't higher... I really don't know. This story correctly predicted the seventh horocrux before the final book came out. It's well written, complete, and has high overall value. Melindeleo has written three must read fics, and if you haven't read them, you would be making a wise choice to do so.

7. Fates Debt

The first of two soul bond fics. I have the same cliche problem with this story, but it has the same excuse. This fic was groundbreaking, it is the reason some things are cliche. This was my first foray into soul-bond fics and is one of the best done. I suggest you read it, but don't read year five. Intromit posted a possible ending, I suggest you read it and pretend it's the real ending, because we will sadly never get one. Search the blogs if you want to know why, it isn't my place.

8. Meaning of One

Like Fates Debt, but without the Cliches. Very long, very well written. A real good way of doing a soul-bond fic bond and in almost every way superior to the one above it. The only knock? So much content, and nothing stands out. I've read the over 600,000 words and I remember very few of them. Also Molly is not done very well at all. But a cliche-less, professional story with good dialogue? Sign me up.

9. Awakening Power

A lot of my character Blackthorn was based on a major premise in this story. Don't worry, Harry doesn't randomly find out that he's a metal bender, it's about old magic that people have forgotten. It also has conspiracy, adventure, and fun.

10. A friend Indeed

A really nice fic by kb. KB has stopped writting recently, so go review bomb some of his GREAT stories and get him inspired again! This story is a real nice addition, and may not even be his best one (it isn't), but I really enjoy watching Ginny come into her own a bit earlier. I hate character bashing, this story has it in droves. I have a lot of fond memories of this story
