After a long pen name struggle, and several excellent suggestions (A Phoenix That Is Silver, anyone?) I decided to keep it as Silvver Phoenix with two v's, because it looks kind of cool and hopefully ff.net will not have a problem with that.

All of my fanfictions are based upon Harry Potter and his righteous wizarding adventures. I've always wanted to use "righteous" in a sentence but I've never really had the opportunity, and although that was probably a completely inappropriate place to put it, it was fun anyway. I'm a blatant R/H shipper, which I freely admit. If I write any semi-serious fics (eg. Bury the Hatchet, Slap, Perfect World, The Sorceress Diaries) you'll usually find some R/H in there somewhere. Or everywhere.

Then there's the parodies. If you like nonsensical randomness featuring appearances by Spider-Man, John Stamos, and Professor Plum, I say go for it. Unfortunately, the parodies can no longer be found on this website, but you can find them at my homepage, which you can access above.

A warning: I have somewhat desperate reviewing tactics which usually involve random characters bursting into songs about reviewing or how I don't own stuff.

And that's all about me. Feel free to send me e-mails, because I love them. And I love reviews. And I love to learn.And I love you, Harry. -blatant Harry Potter Puppet Pals reference

WHAT THE HELL IS THE FU?

Since so many people were asking, I thought I would include the noble origins of the FU here.

The FU was something that started as a joke and spun out of control. Some valiant reviewers started calling themselves "fangirls" or "fanboys" of certain fics of mine, and then I joked that we should make an organization called Fangirls/boys United, or FU for short. The idea took off - perhaps because of the clever short form, perhaps because everyone feels the need to belong to something, I know not. Everyone can be a member of the FU, as far as I'm concerned. You're a fangirl/boy if you're a fangirl/boy in your heart.

UPDATES

06/27/08: STILL CHUGGING AWAY.

Several new chapters of Interlude are written - huzzah! - and I'm just waiting for my beta to get them back to me. Thanks to everyone still reading and reviewing...it's delightful to get reviews for something I haven't updated in awhile, or even fics that I finished years and years ago. You're all-stars.

05/22/08: STILL CHUGGING AWAY.

No worries, am still alive. Will update Interlude soon. C'mon, sweet sweet summer holiday.

09/15/07: NEW STORY, WHAT?

An idea started growing in my mind after I finished Deathly Hallows, and I couldn't put it to rest. It's not like I have tons and tons of time to write, but I've been putting in an hour here and there on rainy days. What became of this was the first few chapters of my new fic, Interlude. That's right, after an extremely extended holiday from fanfiction, I'm back.

I don't know if I'll ever get around to finishing The Sorceress Diaries, which was actually great fun to write, and I'm a little sad that it's outdated now. Also, I find it kind of humourous that Rowling has managed to write three other huge HP books, whereas I haven't even finished writing Hermione's view of Order of the Phoenix. Buuut I really hope that you'll all read and review the new story!

07/25/07: OMGWTFDEATHLYHALLOWS

So. It's all over. And in my sadness, I turned to fanfiction to fill in the gaps. What happened between Voldemort's death and 19 years later?! I charge you, noble fanfic writers, to fill in the blanks.

I wish I could get paid for writing fanfiction.

Oh, and my Silver Phoenix email got deleted through lack of use, so I now have a new email (see above) which you can reach me at.

10/19/06: UPDATE ON WHERE THE HECK I'VE BEEN

Hey all. Wow it seems like forever since I've been on this website/even thought about fanfic. So here's what went down, and here's my massive apology:

A little thing I like to call real life got extremely crazy and then very busy. Unfortunately I got very sick, and was stuck in the hospital for awhile in summer 2005 (which I figure is a legitimate excuse for not updating and such). But then I got better (huzzah), went back to school (not so huzzah), got a degree (huzzah), and fanfiction was, quite frankly, the last thing on my list. I confess I didn't even think about fanfiction for year and some. I am very sorry that I didn't even leave a little post for people who were anxiously awaiting updates on the edges of their seats, and/or were legitimately worried about me.

So what, you may ask, made me return to the hallowed halls of fanfiction.net? Believe it or not, I overheard one of my piano students talking about Silvver Phoenix. They were talking about fanfiction, and then started talking about some very familiar-sounding parodies, and wondering where the heck Silvver had gone. Synopsis of conversation below:

12 year old girl #1: Omgz I wuz on ff.net the otha day and saw the funnyest parodizzles lolz!

12 year old girl #2: Omgz are you tawking about Silvver Phoenix?

12 year old girl #1: Holla!

Me: OMGWTF.

Just kidding. I did overhear someone say "Holla" the other day, though.

So massively freaked out that my students nearly stumbled upon my alter ego in the fanfiction world (AWKWARD), I decided to venture on and check out what's been going on, figuring everyone else had forgotten about me. Insert me reading several reviews with panicked "Where are you!"s and "Are you okay!" and "Um...so can I be in the FU or what, it's been months. Srsly."

Anyways, quite frankly guys, I doubt that I'm going to have the time and/or inspiration to continue any of the works in progress I've got going on here. I am very, very, very sorry for those of you anxiously awaiting updates. Also, I apologize to anyone who has tried to e-mail me, because my silver_phoenix25@hotmail.com e-mail account got disabled from disuse (oops). I'm going to try to get another one in case, you know, anyone wants to e-mail me tearful hate mail.

So, this is Silvver Phoenix signing off. Thanks for reading and reviewing, everyone!

P.S. Did you guys know that John Stamos is now on ER! That almost tempted me to write another parody. Almost.
