Hello, thanks for taking the time to read my profile!

First and foremost, Hermione is my favorite character from the HP world.

I joined this site because I want to write fiction. And I'd prefer to write Harry Potter fiction. Nothing huge and drawn out or anything like that - just a few one-shots here and there. I love to talk Harry Potter and I have to admit that Harry Potter is my only fanatical obsession. There isn't really anything else that I'm all into or anything. This is my 'little haven'. Sure, I'm into music way more than I should be, but life is nothing without music.

Honestly.

More about Me

Fanfiction preferences: Harry Potter (I'm obsessed I think)

Favorite Characters: Hermione, Harry, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Draco and Lucius Malfoy

Ships I've read: Harry Hermione, Remus Lupin Hermione, Draco Hermione, Viktor Hermione, Hermione Ginny, Harry Hermione Ron, Severus Snape Hermione, Harry Hermione Luna (hahah), Harry Hermione Ginny, Hermione Luna, basically anything with Hermione. And I have listed them according to favorite to least favorite.

Ships I absolutely LOVE to read: Harry Hermione, (and depending on the writer) Snape Hermione

Fics that I will read 'til I die: Hermione centric fics, H/Hr, Twisted Lucius/Hermione (no intimate stuff, just the torture and lots of Lucius exploration)

PEEVES on fics: Redundancy, OCness on all characters except Hermione (ahhaha), blatant mistakes that could be fixed in a millisecond, seriously - just get it edited! (spelling, grammar, syntax, vocabulary).

Stuff I love to read and see: Angst, Darkness, Grittiness, Drama, Humor, Romance, Major character deaths, well placed wry/dry humor, sarcasm, detail, insanity, well thought out plots, writers with an affinity for writing...oh man, I would have never read Hinge of Fate by Ramos because of the pairing (Snape Hermione) but the writer is just ... oh man, her writing is just amazing. The flow, the vocabulary, the emotions, hmmm, (humming in satisfaction) If you want to find some good reads, seriously just check out my favorites section...there are some real treats there. It's a gold mine I tell you!

ALSO

I want to recognize my awesome beta buddy: VacantSkies - Ryan! He's helped me on every funky drabble I've come up with. If you want an awesome Beta...go to him, or just email me to get in contact with him. I beta too, but I would recommend him first.

Authors that everyone should read: DelivermefromEve (Portkey.org), Lorien829 (Portkey.org), Ramos (here), whatapotter (here), Aradia17 (here) One of the most beautifully written Hermione centric fics I've ever come across. It's beautiful. Her writing is just amazing, Tears of the Phoenix (her fic)- is also on PK, I prefer to read at PK (lunarspirit22, her sn at PK ) ... margins and all that. JustLikeHermione (Portkey.org, Harry Potter and the Truest Power - AMAZING). Also, Beth Brown at Portkey.org, or dark angel121 (here) Read 'A Letter for My Love'...it's so cool.

Well, since I've given you my thesis and all... _

Feel free to leave a note. But that would mean revealing my email wouldn't it? Maybe I'll do that. My AIM SN is: acoustics1220, feel free to say hello!
