 Poll: I'm thinking of cleaning up/re-editing/revising 'Stars Fall'--mostly just smoothing out transitions, dividing it into a few more chapters, and maybe adding in a few scenes--think of it as a director's cut. Blasphemy? Vote Now! |
Author has written 66 stories for Harry Potter, Fairy Tales, and Heroes. I'm a twenty-one year old Southern Belle with the writing itch. I'm a big fan of bourbon and thoroughbred racing, if that gives you a clue as to my more immediate whereabouts :) Currently finishing up my undergraduate degree in Sociology and will be, come fall, a Real Grownup Law Student...if all falls to plan. I have a serious love for the underdeveloped, the obscure, and the original. Reviews are love, and I've had some really excellent ones and I can't even begin to express my appreciation. My loyal readers are amazing, and I cannot even begin to thank all of you. Works in Progress A Shot to Save the World: Marlene McKinnon let Sirius Black badger her into another shot of Firewhisky on an inconsequential Tuesday evening when she should have gone home. And, as simply as that, Marlene McKinnon saved the world (or destroyed it.) MAD AU. Life in Black and White: The wizarding world of 1977 is in an uproar as the first trial of a Death Eater commences. Aspiring Juriswitch Hestia Jones struggles through her apprenticeship by day, which would be challenging enough even if she hadn't been drafted for the endless workload that comes with the trial of the century, and finds that even the relative safety of your own flat is somewhat compromised when your flat mate is in the Order of the Phoenix. Really, Hestia would be all right with a nice quiet life, as long as it came with a fully stocked wardrobe and a handsome man to come home to. But as people start disappearing and 'accidents' befall her coworkers, a quiet life seems a bit too much to ask. And she can't even pick handsome men right! Not that Caradoc Dearborn isn't handsome, but he's certainly not conducive to that nice quiet life... | |||||||||||
