Hello, I'm Brittney. Or AnotherHPF. I have a tendency to laugh...a lot. Just ask around. I'm addicted to sour patch kids, crack candy (candy corn salt water taffy. We call it crack candy because it's really addicting. xD),and chapstick (there's more but I can't think of them atm). I'm also highly opinionated. I'm probably one of the randomest person that you will meet.

Why Reviews are Essential to Authors - because reviews are our writing juice.

1) Reviews encourage authors to write more. Seriously, the simple words "I love your story, continue!" makes the author feel that their story means something to someone else and motivates the author to continue. The only reason I continued my stories and have the sudden spark to write more was because my friend inspired, well rather bothered me online to. She said she loved it and she'll love to read more, and kept going on... that just motivated me to finish it!

2) Constructive criticism is good. The author cannot pick up everything wrong with the story (if there is); we are only human. Good criticism is even better -- improving the author to be better.

If I go too far, which sometimes I do, let me know and I'll most likely fix it (I'm not fond of upsetting people), if asked nicely. If I go too far, and I don't change it, it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you. Not at all. Maybe I already have something written ahead (since most of my stories that I upload have more than several chapters already written) but for sure, I will absorb your criticism for the next project I'm writing.

3) It's a good way to network and make new friends. I have made many friends -- and between some of us our friendship has lasted years even when we never met each other -- when I read and reviewed FF here.

4) Hits don’t mean much. I could click on my own story a million times to get my hit count higher... or other people could just do that. Reviews mean so much more than hits, especially when there are inconsistent numbers between chapters.

5) Good reviews give authors warm, fuzzy feelings. Okay, if you love the author... give them some love man!

6) Some reviewers may inspire authors on a new direction. I have encountered times when I don't know where to go but reviewers have helped me.

7) Most importantly, authors get a chance to see who is actually reading the story. I may have already said this, but when there is a name to a review... we know a real person is actually reading the story. Again, hits don't mean that much.

8) It gives the author reason to write. It is my reason why I write. If no one is reading my story, what's the point of writing it? THAT and fandoms die. If you don't review, you'll kill the fandom further and then it won't motivate me to write.

9) Some author’s have interests lasting a day or so. At the top I said I write because it’s a way to escape. That is true. But at the same time, ideas and obsessions flit and flutter. I had a burning to write a certain story, but I got sick and after a few days, I no longer have the motivation to do it, and going to scrap the whole idea together.

I can’t force you to review. No one can. But at least I can say every story I read, I review. I know the value of encouragement, supporting words and the impact it has on a writer.

About My Stories

The Last Night: I originally just wrote this for my friends for Christmas. This is my first songfic slash fanfiction. Jacob is not taking Bella and Edward's wedding to well. He has one last night 'til Bella turns in to a vampire and marry Edward. The Last Night was written by Skillet. Later on Jacob angst and imprints on a girl.

A Cuppa Tea: This story is insane. I saw a box of chocolates and I was listening to Mood Rings by Relient K and I got a crazy idea about Hermione and Ginny going crazy for chocolate and I turned out to be a hilarious plot line. So, I decided to write it. Summary of it: Ron has to go to Umbridge for questioning. Umbridge puts what she thinks is versium but is actually something that makes Ron tell her how he is feeling. He goes into a long, dramatized story about how he is. There are really weird pairs just for the heck of it. And to make it funnier. :D. I will be extremely surprised if you guess my plot line and get it right. Well, I hope you like this story.

Whoa: I really do like this story. I'm not really sure why. I guess because I'm a sucker for romance. Even if it is gay guy romance. The Bloody Baron has huge crush on Peeves. He pretty much stalks Peeves in the begining in the story. What will Peeves do about this? Songfic to Whoa by Paramore.

Good Enough: I love this story. My best fanfiction work hands down. Quil watches Claire grow up. From age 3 to 16. He get's to watch her amusing ways. Quil cannot say no to this girl. Anything she wants he can't help to give. I really do suck at summarys. xD. Read for your self. You won't regret. I promise. Songfic to Good Enough by Evanescene (First chapter)

Cupid's a Ginger: So, this is my first KBOW/KBFW fic and I love it. I'm not sure where I got the idea for this one is but I'm glad I wrote it. I'm completly addicted to KBOW/KBFW fics so it was about time I wrote something.
