Hey, my name is Lauren i'm seventeen years old, I'm a senior at my local High School, and I really love writing. It's always been a hobbie of mine and I find as I get older i'm becoming more serious at it. Some of my other favorite things to do are curling up in the middle of the winter with a big blanket, a cup of hot chocolate, the fire going and a good book, it always seems to calm me down. I also like listening to music, and singing it, I like to dance (though i'm not very good at it), and I like play sports (though i'm not very good at those either). I live in upstate New York with my parents and my older sister, who goes to college an hour away from our home town. My birthday is Novemeber 1st and I like how its right after Halloween and in the middle of Thanksgiving and Christmas. I only have a few months till graduation, and after words I plan to study business/management at Clarkson University.

Twilight Favorites

Character: Emmett; he's extremely funny and when you're writing his character it feels like you have so much more you can do with him. Like one moment he can be completely serious and then the next he's doing something complete dumb and getting slapped upside the head.

Second Favorite Character; um, Jake because I feel like he has so much emoutional depth and you can also really play around with his character. Even though alot of the time he's the steryotypical teenager who gets his heartbroken by the girl he loves, pitches a fit, and finds another girl.

Disliked Character; i'm not really sure if I have one. I mean i'm not to fond of Edward but I definatly don't dislike him, if I have to think about it i'd say James, there's not alot you can do with him, he's always going to be the bad guy.

Favorite pairings; Bella-Edward, Bella-Paul, Bella-Jake, Emmett-Bella, Bella-Jasper, Edward-Alice

Disliked Pairings; Bella-Sam, Alice-Paul, Edward-Leah, Carlisle-Bella

Disliked Actor: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, i'm sorry but I don't think they chose the right people to play those parts, I mean they're both extremely good actors but Rob is to much of a rugged boy to be seen as someone who was supposed to be born in 1901 and Kristen is really really akward playing Bella. Henry Cavill should be playing Edward, he has that old time feel and I definatly think Lucy Hale should be Bella, she's and amazing actress, and I think she would do so well as the part of Bella.

Favorite book in series; New Moon i'm sorry but the story should have stayed Bella Jake! Go team Jake!! whoot whoot!

Harry Potter Favorites

Characters; A three way tie between Hermione, Ron, and Draco. I mean there is so much you can do with Hermione, she will always be the good girl, I can't picture her evil, but she can make mistakes, sometimes big ones, but that isn't a problem. With Ron, he can get so jealous at times, and be an ass, but he always has something sweet going on in that mind of his. And with Draco, he's portrayed as the bad boy, the evil one, but really he's just scared. There is so much emotion you can use with him, you can show his sensitive side that he really cares about people, like his mother, or a girl, but all he wants to do is please his father, though he's scared and wants to do what right, but can't because he's afraid of what will happen.

Disliked Character: Probably McLaggen, he thinks that he's the best thing in the world and that every girl wants him, but really he's just a pain in the ass that doesn't shut up :P

Favorite Pairings; Harry-Ginny, Harry-Hermione, Ron-Hermione, Fred-Hermione, George-Luna, Draco-Hermione

Disliked Pairings; Draco-Ginny, Ron-Lavender, Blaise-Hermione

Disliked Actor; um, Daniel Radcliffe he was perfect for the part when he was little, but now not so much. I mean its not because of his acting skills, because he's a good actor it just that he doesn't fit the part anymore. I mean Bonnie Wright is almost taller than him and that has to be akward for him when they kiss, right?

Favorite book out of the series; um Deathly Hallows i've read it like six times :P lol

Now the final question!!!! Twilight or Harry Potter????
And the answer is!
Harry Potter, but I feel Twilight stories are a ton easier to write than Harry Potter. I mean I've written a Harry Potter story and I admit it's not so good, and a one-shot which is okay, but all my Twilight stuff I feel is better even though some of it was from two years ago when I was thirteen and young and naive! haha
