I love words. Words are as blood and oxygen to me; I would waste away into a paltry nothing without the beauty and life that words instill in me.
I hope to achieve the much-coveted status of author one day, but for now, I am a Writer, a Wordsmith.

Beyond writing, I'm a university student in America and I've an Irish boyfriend--he's my world. He's honestly the most intelligent, funny, and sweet guy I have ever met, and I consider myself very lucky that we stumbled upon one another. I'm completely head-over-heels in love with him, and unashamed of it! He's absolutely brilliant--even if he does think that cupcakes are called buns. (hint: HE IS WRONG. Love you, sweetie!)

UPDATE: September 4, 2008. It is unlikely that I will return to writing fics. I continue to read them, but I feel that my writing is better spent focusing on my in-progress original works.

Although the one fic that is still posted here is het, one might note that I mention in the pre-fic blurb that I wrote it for a friend. I've written 6-7 fics since the start of my fanfic addiction, and I've deleted said fics as the whim took me (I've been a fanfic reader circa 2000--it took me two years to figure out that it'd be easier to get an account on here to save all of my favorites rather than bookmarking them all). By choice, I'm an avid slash fangirl. I love a good HP/DM, HP/LM, HP/SS, HP/FG... well. The list is quite exhaustive, so assume I've read it, and probably like it. I don't like to read HP/AD or HP/Hagrid fics though... urgh. Not my cup of tea, really. One of my favorite HPDM writers is Lomonaaeren, and one of my favorite HPFG writers is Dark Cyan Star, who also writes a wicked HPLV. --blissful sigh--. I also read het pairings, but really, slash is my favorite type of pairing for our dear HP!

...if you happen to know any good, not-on-ff.net HP/FG fics, please let me know of them!

A fantastic (and completed!) HP/DM veela! fic is on ff.net by V V C, called Desperate Measures. V V C also wrote another fantastic story, Raspberry Jam. I recommend both to you; a direct link to V V C's profile is www.fanfiction.net/~vvc

The final revelation is that Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art.

At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.
