hi! My favorite fanfiction community is by far hp, but I also read some of C.S. Lewis, Tamora Pierce, and Shakespeare. I read and beta a lot more than I write, though, and my entire world revolves around violin, as my friends may have realized by now. I live in america (yea clinton!), but I think I'm from england and maybe germany. I also play field hockey and softball, and would like to join the track team for hurdles, possibly triple jump, and pole vault. My childhood idols were, obviously, Itzack Pearlman, Hilary Hahn, and Joshua Bell. (as I'm writing, this, I'm listening to a CD of Ann-Sophie Mutter, playing Pablo de Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy.) Good reading, everyone!

To be or not to be, that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to — 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life,
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely
The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn away,
And lose the name of action.

--Hamlet

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

--Sonnet 116

Those lines that I before have writ do lie,

Even those that said I could not love you dearer:

Yet then my judgment knew no reason why

My most full flame should afterwards burn clearer.

But reckoning time, whose million'd accidents

Creep in 'twixt vows and change decrees of kings,

Tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharp'st intents,

Divert strong minds to the course of altering things;A

las, why, fearing of time's tyranny,

Might I not then say 'Now I love you best,'

When I was certain o'er incertainty,

Crowning the present, doubting of the rest?

Love is a babe; then might I not say so,

To give full growth to that which still doth grow?

--Sonnet 115

Ummm... So I'm sorry to say, I haven't updated anything in a while. To anyone who has found enough pity in their hearts to actually read what I wrote (or even...enjoy it!), I haven't abandoned it!! But the truth is, I am clueless when it comes to creative writing. Really, it's nothing like getting an A on an English paper. (Which reminds me, I got an A- on my last in-class-essay, which is between 90 and 94. ick.) I have attempted to model other's great works, but have found it practically impossible due to my own unyielding style, and a natural desire to stand out in any crowd as exceptional. In slight consolation to my theoretical readers, however, I have stockpiled a few lists of stories that are a must read for the chosen categories. So, without further ado, bon appetites, et regardez sous cette paragraph pour l'humor, excitement, et autres choses.
(Et me pardonez pour le francaise; j'ai la class de francaise a l'ecole, mais je ne le parle pas tres bien. Ou bien. :D Si quel'quun peut m'aider, LE FAIT, sil vous plait.)

THE Best Fics!

Absolute MUST READS, no matter which
genre you prefer, what storyline suits you best,
or the characters you like or dislike in it.
This should be mainly HP fiction, as the others aren't
really equipped to handle such difference, and this
houses from humor to angst, adventure to
suspense, horror to romance, and epic
to one-shot (though again, only if it's GOOD
with ALL letters capital). Enjoy!
