Pleased to meet you! I'm Mandy, and I'm glad you stopped in.
I live in the NW United States and I am currently a full time home maker, writer, actress, and figure skater. I went to college in Las Vegas, and I'm originally from Florida. I used to write ST:TNG and now I write Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Star Trek: Phoenix.
STAR TREK: PHOENIX www.stphoenix.com
Ships I write: ST:TNG- Riker/Troi, Wesley/OFC (he never had a decent love life). HP: Lucius/Narcissa, Draco/Pansy (but only when they hate each other) and one Harry/Ginny story that ate my brain until I got it on paper. SW: Han/Leia.
Ships I read but don't write: ST:TNG- Picard/Crusher, Worf/Dax. HP: Lupin/Tonks (I wish I could write them), Harry/Ginny(save that one freak incident), Ron/Hermione, Harry/Draco (but only for the smut value and only when they hate each other) and Bella/Voldemort, because it's too obvious not to let it happen. Firefly: Mal/Inara, Inara/Kaylee, Kaylee/Simon.
Please check out my L/N stuff. They're my fav. :)
HP fic Summaries are updated to reflect TDH canon compliance; stories authored prior to July 2007 may have been knocked into the AU... all stories are tagged with TDH compliant or non TDH compliant and whether or not they contain any spoilers.
I sometimes write 10,000-15,000 words in a day. Beta reading for me would be like a full time job; and one I am not willing to allow someone to take on- it would cost too much time and I am not independently wealthy enough to afford to pay someone. Add to that fact that fanfic is my 'recess'... the fun I get to have in otherwise rather technically demanding writing, and I prefer just to leave the stories be and not have every teency little typo or punctuation error (or unusual chioce) pointed out to me by someone critical; I get enough of that in my other writing. That said, I do try to find and fix typos, and MS Word 2007 is a big help with that. If you see a typo... close your eyes and pretend it's not there... please?
And I should let everyone know this: If you add one of my stories to fav's, or put me on author or story alert; I will look at your profile page. I will read your fic. And I review, I do not flame.
And now for a pet peeve: CANON VIOLATIONS THAT ARE NOT EXPRESSLY MARKED irk me. I love fanfic. I write fanfic and I read fanfic. I love to read fanfic. I love to read other people's impressions of the characters I feel like I know. I like to see them through other writers' eyes. And I write a lot of reviews. I do not write flames. I can get past stories that are so old that nobody knew that Lucius was born in 1954 and Narcissa in 1955 and Bella in 1951 and Andromeda between her sisters and that Sirius is their cousin. But if you write a fic NOW, that the HP lexicon has all of that available to you and you choose not to use it... then please mark your story AU or I'll be really really annoyed. AU is not a problem for me, but I cannot take canon violations that I am not prepared for. Please, out of courtesy, mark your AU stories as such. End of rant.
