Allo and welcome to my profile. Naturally, this isn't my true name (though if it were I'd be a pretty interesting person-after all who else's mother would choose that name as well as a number?).
I am a fan of Lord of the Rings. My favorites characters include: Elladan, Elrohir, Elrond, Glorfindel, Legolas, and Thranduil (Though I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I've a soft spot for Estel and Gandalf.)
I fear I am not fond of hobbits-Ironic, as most of the stories are framed about them. I suppose my dislike is that there was too much eating and not enough action. (I think they're alright in brief occassions, but I doubt I'll center any of my stories on them. No offense meant to hobbit admirers...I just prefer elves.)
I don't write or read slash and I think incest is revolting.
I believe that deep friendships and familial affection are a guide to happiness and success-so my stories will promote that.
I'm also a fan of the Harry Potter universe. I absolutely adore Regulus Black (even though there's probably only four sentences about him in the series, sigh).
I have a love/hate relationship with Sirius Black--he likes to creep his way into my stories.
And I think Snape, actually would've been a good friend, if you could gain his trust.
Writing Quirks: I believe that characters have to suffer to appreciate joy; so there will be angst! Lots of it! Heed it as a warning!
Oh and I am the sort to look at the number of reviews for each of my tales. So...I think what I'm trying to say is...REVIEW!! I don't know if you liked it or disliked it (You're free to have an opinion) unless you review!
And it makes me sad when you don't...and then I have no motivation to update.
Pieces:
In-Progress:
Splintered: Its set in Rivendell during the twins' youth. A young Arwen has been born and has stolen all the attention. With the twins caught in that rough age between childhood and adolescence, they're desperate for guidance. Unfortunately, their family seems to be too busy fussing over their sister to notice. Fearful of rejection, they rely on each other for advice. Feelings will be hurt and reckless decisions will be made; Elrond will have to gather his wayward children before they stray beyond his grasp.
(If I was forced to age them, as people keep asking me too, I'd say they were probably around 10...ish. Just old enough to get a bunch of responsibilities, not quite as much cuddling, and a lot of pressure to succeed. By the end they'll probably be around 12...ish.)
(Yes, Yes, I know, it's been forever since my last update. No worries I'm working on it. )
Curiosity: A young Catspaw goes on a mission to the outside with his father. The outing was supposed to be pleasant, educational, and probably boring-but things seldom go as planned. Eager to know about this strange new world, Catspaw lets his curiosity get the better of him and he wanders off. A sinister figure takes this opportunity to capture the young goblin, throwing the Hollow Kingdom in jeopardy, terrifying the royal family, and infuriating a certain Goblin King.
(It's a spin off from the "Hollow Kingdom Trilogy" by Susan B. Dunkle. (The first book was my favorite.) Anyways this focuses on Catspaw, who I always felt didn't get enough attention. It's going to be an AU, since there's nothing in the trilogy to suggest that Catspaw had any action before the 3rd book.)
sigh it's the story that no one seems to love.
Foreshadowing Demise: After Sirius Black falls through the veil, he winds up in the most unlikely place imaginable: the past. His crash-landing in Knockturn Alley leads to a chance meeting with his estranged younger brother and the formation of a wild idea. Disguising himself as a student, Sirius Black goes to Hogwarts--hoping to relay his secrets to Dumbledore. He feels that this could be the greatest opportunity. He could save Lily and James, defeat Voldemort, and maybe...save Regulus as well. Sirius soon finds the last may be the most difficult of all.
Huzzah for Slytherin prejudice, peer pressure, desperate ambition, family loyalty, death eater fanaticism, and brotherly animosity!
Sirius Black and the Evil Dark Lord Harry Po-ederson: Right before the Black brothers board the Hogwarts Express, Regulus finds himself unintentionally captured by a supposedly Dark Wizard from the future. (cough Harry Potter--by accident!) Now Sirius' friends and enemies must combine forces to save his baby brother before it's "too late."
Cheers for misadventure, overprotective older brothers, first-years in peril, snarkiness, maruading mischief, and first-aid for scraped knees.
T for swearing by the "Dark Wizard" and for Sirius' violent imagination
Complete: Yay, by jove I've got one!
Residual Requiem: Severus Snape examines his memories of Regulus Black--the good, the bad, the depressing. It's a sad, fluffy flick showcasing the softer side of Slytherins. After all, in Slytherin, you find your real friends. (One shot--though if I get enough reviews wanting more--I may add another chapter.)
Ideas:
I really am thinking about starting a collection called Regulus the Ignorant Pureblood. Heh, heh.
