HEY people!

I don't know who you are, and you don't know me so we're all even. But to give you a slight advantage, whoever you are, my name is Madeleine (as in, mad-ell-ene). Don't you even THINK about calling me Madeline (as in, mad-ell-iiine), or humming the theme from that horrible show... I will haunt you forever if you do...

Seriously though, simply Maddie is fine

Anyway, more about me:
I am a teenage Australian girl who is absolutely OBSESSED with reading. (My friends don't really get it, but oh well.) I really don't think you need to know my full name or age, so here's some random stuff for you instead.
I've tried to write a story several times, but I keep finding bits I've written that sound to much like other stories.

My favorite saying ever (well, so far) is "Silence is Golden, but Duct Tape is Silver"

QWERTYUIOP (sorry, the lines are being really frustrating)
Added 13/07/09- Has anyone ever noticed that sayings about duct tape are the best ones? I just found this in a story by dyly. I don't know where they got it from, but it's good so I added it to this
"Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together." - Unknown
QWERTYUIOP

My fave books/series are:

-MAXIMUM RIDE (FLIGHT NOT BITE!!)
-Twilight saga(nuh DUH)
-Harry Potter
-ANYTHING that's by Tamora Pierce
-Alex Rider
-Ranger's Apprentice (great books by an Aussie author, but world renowned. Very under represented on this site)
-The Host
-ARTEMIS FOWL

Umm plus many many others that I can't be bothered naming right now. Believe me, there are more.

If I think you need to know any more about me, I'll let you know.

bye

The white man said, "Colored people are not allowed here."

The black man turned around and stood up.

He then said: "Listen sir...when I was born I was BLACK, When I grew up I was BLACK, When I'm sick I'm BLACK, When I go in the sun I'm BLACK, When I'm cold I'm BLACK, When I die I'll be BLACK. But you sir, When you're born you're PINK, When you grow up you're WHITE, When you're sick, you're GREEN, When you go in the sun you turn RED, When you're cold you turn BLUE, And when you die you turn PURPLE. And you have the nerve to call me colored?"

The black man then sat back down and the white man walked away... Post this on your profile if you hate racism

GREAT THINGS MY FRIEND BELLA SAID THAT I ONLY JUST REMEMBERED TO POST HERE

-Don't knock on Death's door- Ring the doorbell and run, he hates that.
-When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and watch as they try to work out how you did it
-FLIGHT NOT BITE!!

- I have some cheese. It is Swiss cheese, so it has holes. The more cheese I have, the more holes there are. The more holes there are, the less cheese I have. So the
-(i'll put more here as i remember them...)

Also, while on camp, she called me Max on 3 separate occasions because she said i reminded her of Maximum Ride

STORY CHALLENGES!!

Unfortunately, I've been noticing a lot of emptiness on my profile... Such as a lack of fics. I'm in the midst of writing one at the moment, but it is incredibly hard to find time to actually write it. So, to appease any curious people who have found their way here, I have some story challenges for anyone and everyone!
If you are interested in writing any of these ideas, that's fine, but if you can let me know once they are written so I can enjoy them too, that would be great.

Story Challenge Number 1: Tom Riddle (aka Voldemort) has a daughter.

Optional Title: Daughter of a Dark Lord
Conditions: Story must include birth/adoption/finding of said daughter. There cannot be a jump of more than 2 years at a time before Hogwarts, after which each year must be represented in some way (Preferably in detail)
Optional Ideas:
-Voldemort was defeated by the Boy Who Lived, but was resurrected soon afterwards in his much more human form (i.e. not snakelike)
-If the above, daughter could be found/adopted soon after
-Gryffindor Sorting!
-Daughter is friends with Harry Potter
-Voldemort trying to cope with daughter going through awkward stages of female teenagehood (if that's a word, and if you catch my drift)

ALSO: (This isn't really an idea, so I won't call it one. Although it is still optional.)
Can Voldy's daughter not be too childish or bloodthirsty? A lot of stories i've read where Tom Riddle has a child, the kid is either: acts like an eight or nine year old when they are really eleven or twelve; is cruel, heartless and bloodthirsty while only caring about Tom; or both.
It can work sometimes, but it gets a bit repetitive after a while.

I hope someone likes this challenge!
