Hello there! I see you've found my profile...

I'm a teenaged girl from England.

Two of my favourite things in life are the Beatles and Harry Potter. I love reading, but Harry Potter is probably the only series for which I've read each book over twenty times. (I've kind of lost count, but it's probably something like that. I think. My family thinks I'm insane, but they're just missing out on the wonders of being a Potterhead!) My favourite characters have always been Fred and George, so I imagine that most of my stories will centre around them. I also write quite a bit about Percy, because I think he's a very interesting character who's highly underrated! Apart from that, I have a few slightly strange stories, which I wrote in the middle of the night... The effects of tiredness are very visible, unfortunately!

I find it hard to choose an OTP, but if I had to it would probably be Romione. I basically like all the canon pairings, and that's what I stick to when I'm writing. :)

If you're interested, I'm a Ravenclaw on Pottermore. Feel free to add me - my username's GobletShadow24334.

One last thing - I run an "Ask the Weasleys" blog on Tumblr. It's not particularly serious and there's no literary genius involved, but it's been great fun doing it, so I thought I might as well give you lot a link. So... yeah. There you go. xD

List twelve characters in a random order from your favourite fandom:

1) Remus Lupin
2) Fred Weasley
3) Luna Lovegood
4) Ron Weasley
5) Neville Longbottom
6) George Weasley
7) Crookshanks
8) Ginny Weasley
9) Hermione Granger
10) Sirius Black
11) Harry Potter
12) Dobby

1. Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic?
George/Harry? I can safely say I have never read that. :)

2. Do you think Four is hot? How hot?
He's all right. Relatively, I suppose? (Not as hot as Two and Six! I didn't say that.) :P

3. What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?
If Dobby got Ginny pregnant... Oh my goodness, that's... that's terrifying! The mental images... *Shudders* I suppose Ginny would have some kind of half-elf child? To be honest, I'd rather just stop thinking about it now!

4. Can you recall any fics about Nine?
Hermione? Yes, many.

5. Would Two and Six make a good couple?
Fred and George... Erm... No. I'm sorry!

6. Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?
Neville/Hermione or Neville/Sirius? I reckon Neville and Hermione, because Hermione's always been so nice to him. :)

7. What if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve making out?
If Crookshanks walked in on Fred and Dobby making out, he'd probably become a very traumatised cat. He'd mew at Hermione for a while, and then possibly at Sirius, and eventually he'd just walk off to eat a gnome or something in an attempt to rid his mind of the disturbing scene that he'd just witnessed.

8. Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic.
When Luna visits Grimmauld Place to see Harry, Ron and Hermione, she finds someone she definitely wasn't expecting. Could that just be Stubby Boardman? Luna/Sirius

9. Is there such a thing as One/Eight fluff?
I have learned to accept the fact that in the Harry Potter fandom, you can find anything. And yes, I'm pretty sure that does include Remus/Ginny fluff! :P

10. Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve Hurt/Comfort fic.
A... A Dobby/Crookshanks fic? Ummm... "Furry Socks". I honestly don't know.

11. Would you consider reading a Three/One smut fic?
Erm... No, I don't think I'd really want to read Luna/Remus smut. But I'm sure it's out there.

12. Is anything on your favourites list about Eleven?
It's very easy to find fics about Harry in this fandom! So yes, I'm sure there's plenty about him on my favourites list. :)

13. Think of a title for a Two/Four or a Two/Five.
Fred/Ron or Fred/Neville... For Fred/Ron, "Gingers Unite!" and for Fred/Neville... erm... I really don't know. "Confessions of a Prankster" or something.

14. If you wrote a songfic about Eight, what would the song be?
Either "Girl" or "Good Day Sunshine", both by the Beatles, depending on what I wanted the fic to be about. :)

15. If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warning be?
Remus/George/Dobby. WARNING: This fic contains the stuff of nightmares... Also slash and sort-of-partial-bestiality-I-don't-even-know. BASICALLY HOUSE ELF SEX, OK? OK.

16. When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
Not recently, but I have been writing one in which he (Neville) plays a key role! Look out for that!

17. One and Seven are in a happy relationship until Nine runs off with Seven. One is heartbroken and has a hot one night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three. What title would you give this fic?
Remus and Crookshanks are in a happy relationship until Hermione Granger runs off with Crookshanks. Remus is heartbroken and has a hot one night stand with Harry Potter and a brief unhappy affair with Dobby, then follows the wise advice of Neville Longbottom and finds true love with Luna Lovegood.
I... I don't even know... "Nargles Under His Collar". :)

OK - well done if you've read all that. Why you would is beyond me, but thank you very much for the visit! Now you can move on to the actual stories... Please review, and so on! It makes my day - I love to read them, and I always appreciate some constructive criticism... Or in fact whatever pops into your mind when you're reading the story! You know the type of thing:

"What the hell has she done to these characters? This should be illegal - I think I'm going to cry from frustration."
"That's not a bad idea... Well, in comparison to the rest of the story, anyway."
"I hate this story so much. I'm only reading it for the confidence booster."

To be honest, I kind of hope you'll phrase it slightly more kindly than my examples (though I know I could get a lot worse!) but anything's useful! It's the only way I can improve and turn my stories into something that you want to read. :)
