Author has written 2 stories for Charmed.

Hey! This is crazy-instincts here! I'm sixteen and live in Australia, I'm a scorpio and a vegetarian, I have very crazy brown curly hair, I'm very flexible and can do the splits all three ways.

'Elemental Halliwells' is my first proper shot at fan fiction, and I'm really enjoying it, it's so much fun! I've just started another Charmed fic called 'Hope and Fear Set Free' -- the title of which comes from Algernon Swinburne's poem 'Garden of Proserpine and reads as follows:

The Garden of Proserpine

Here, where the world is quiet;
Here, where all trouble seems
Dead winds' and spent waves' riot
In doubtful dreams of dreams;
I watch the green field growing
For reaping folk and sowing,
For harvest-time and mowing,
A sleepy world of streams.

I am tired of tears and laughter,
And men that laugh and weep;
Of what may come hereafter
For men that sow to reap:
I am weary of days and hours,
Blown buds of barren flowers,
Desires and dreams and powers
And everything but sleep.

Here life has death for neighbour,
And far from eye or ear
Wan waves and wet winds labour,
Weak ships and spirits steer;
They drive adrift, and whither
They wot not who make thither;
But no such winds blow hither,
And no such things grow here.

No growth of moor or coppice,
No heather-flower or vine,
But bloomless buds of poppies,
Green grapes of Proserpine,
Pale beds of blowing rushes
Where no leaf blooms or blushes
Save this whereout she crushes
For dead men deadly wine.

Pale, without name or number,
In fruitless fields of corn,
They bow themselves and slumber
All night till light is born;
And like a soul belated,
In hell and heaven unmated,
By cloud and mist abated
Comes out of darkness morn.

Though one were strong as seven,
He too with death shall dwell,
Nor wake with wings in heaven,
Nor weep for pains in hell;
Though one were fair as roses,
His beauty clouds and closes;
And well though love reposes,
In the end it is not well.

Pale, beyond porch and portal,
Crowned with calm leaves, she stands
Who gathers all things mortal
With cold immortal hands;
Her languid lips are sweeter
Than love's who fears to greet her
To men that mix and meet her
From many times and lands.

She waits for each and other,
She waits for all men born;
Forgets the earth her mother,
The life of fruits and corn;
And spring and seed and swallow
Take wing for her and follow
Where summer song rings hollow
And flowers are put to scorn.

There go the loves that wither,
The old loves with wearier wings;
And all dead years draw thither,
And all disastrous things;
Dead dreams of days forsaken,
Blind buds that snows have shaken,
Wild leaves that winds have taken,
Red strays of ruined springs.

We are not sure of sorrow,
And joy was never sure;
To-day will die to-morrow;
Time stoops to no man's lure;
And love, grown faint and fretful,
With lips but half regretful
Sighs, and with eyes forgetful
Weeps that no loves endure.

From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no life lives for ever;
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.

Then star nor sun shall waken,
Nor any change of light:
Nor sound of waters shaken,
Nor any sound or sight:
Nor wintry leaves nor vernal,
Nor days nor things diurnal;
Only the sleep eternal
In an eternal night. ~Algernon Swinburne

I Love:

Fanfiction! (well, of course) My all time favorite fan fiction would have to be The Sacrifices Arc by Lightning on the Wave . It has many references to the above poem - it's amazing, check it out :D

Charmed! (Piper/Leo (of course), Prue/Andy, Paige/Henry, Phoebe/Coop OR Phoebe/Cole, I like Pheebs with either demon or cupid :D)

Harry Potter! -- I mean who doesn't love harry?-- (Remus/Sirius, James/Lily, Harry/Draco.)

Full Metal Alchemist! (Roy/Ed !!)

... I also love the TV show Chuck... Chuck chuck chuck chuck chuck! he he he he he (Charah!) ... I'm really really hoping it gets renewed for a third season. So, if you're a chuck fan, sign some online petitions, send letters and do whatever you can to support the NBC renewing Chuck!

Firefly! Hey, some people juggle geese! Gotta love the Big Damn Heroes! :D Browncoats; we aim to misbehave :D

the TV show Supernatural, Sam and Dean !!

I love being with all my weird and wacky friends (they are honestly the most brilliant people in the world :P) xxx

What else... Chocolate, skiing, singing, dancing, the beach and writing in general, because it is just so fun!

I Hate?

Surprisingly little... um, animal cruelty, narrow-minded opinions and capsicum :D But that's about it...

As Albus Dumbledore would say:

Nitwit, Blubber, Oddment, Tweak !
