THIS IS NOT A SPOILER FREE PROFILE. BEEEEWAAAAREEEE.

PROFILE=UNDER-CONSTRUCTION


my sister account for my earlier stories: here (may not show up. penname is like a lion tamer. PM me for help if needed.)

my tumblr: here (INCLUDES INFO ON TUMBLR-WIDE PROJECT--BEFORE SEVEN: A POST A DAY...PLEASE CHECK IT OUT...)


"Listen...Look...I don't know exactly how to explain this, but I'm not even sure you're going to wake up tonight. Okay? I'm freaking out here. These people, these things are ruining everything, and they're only getting stronger. We...the five of us...the Keepers--and you and Jess, and Wayne and Wanda--we either stop them or...that's just the thing: I don't know what. I don't know if any of us will be around, or if we'll be lying in bed unable to wake up, like you are right now. I'm not playing hero here. I'm afraid. I'm afraid to go to sleep. Afraid to go to school. I can't live like this. I'm going to find those two and stop them. Obviously, they're only the tip of the iceberg. But I'm not losing you. I'm not running away."

Kingdom Keepers IV: Power Play


i. greeting—hi there

-her-eyes-fiery-pinpricks-

(feel free to call me mandy, even though that isn't my real name.)

things you should know. when i grow up, im gonna write. perform. travel. teach. speak. kingdom keepers is my life. honest. kk took my life, shook it, and put it back in place with a renewed love for disney and a reason to keep on fighting. and for that, i am forever grateful. im also grateful for the opportunity i was given to meet ridley pearson, who should be king of the world btw, which was the best day of my life. he’s truly an amzing author and, in my opinion, a hero. an amazing example of those striving to keep the magic alive. my life mission is to raise KK pride. i know a little french. latin. spanish. by little I mean little. but im learning. jessie, elle and lulu are my fanfiction sistahs for life. i like to play with fashion and its many disguises. i'm the one with the crazy neon colors and sixteen neckalaces at a time and those glove-thingies-that-are like-leg-warmers-for-hands. yeah. i think in another life i was a fashion designer. i say shed (so hufflepuffin' awesome *dies*), legit, score, fluffy, boss, honest, explosive, amazing, oh snap, 'tis, epic, and perfection a lot. i need a theasaurus. i have a special devotion to peter pan. half because of the starcatcher series, half because I saw the broadway play that just about changed my life. oh yeah and return to neverland was my childhood and "i'll try" will forever be my favorite song. i do everything in eights. maybe it's because i dance, maybe it's 'cause i'm a slave to my traditions, but 8's my lucky number because it's shown up a lot in my life. so when i leave a review for you with an exclamation, the vowel's gonna me repeated four/eight/sixteen times. that's just how it is. regalian, child of the barricade, erudite, crier, roller-blader, newsie, RAD, district 2, hufflepuff, starcatcher, lostie, music fairlie (its true i have proof) and princess. all I wanna be is merida.

i'm very passionate about the things i love. but, in all honesty, all i wanna do is spread the wonderful feeling i get when i'm able to embrace those things full out. come with me; i'll lead you to a world of crazy fangirly love and fluff.


ii. my name—and its meaning

PREVIOUSLY AMANDA J GRANGER, AMANDA KATNISS GRANGER, AND AMANDA KATRICE GRANGER, AND amanda-kate-granger

My real name is not on this site, but it's on others. You can find it, I'm sure. But for now call me Mandy. Everyone's been doing that for so long I figure I'd let it flow. But I wouldn't mind it terribly if you did call me my real name. (I also have a second nickname--Dawn, after my username on KK7 Insider (Dawn_Quill). No one's been using it recently, and that's just fine, but I wanted to throw that out there.)

My penname is one of my favorite quotes in the world, from the Kingdom Keepers series (book 2: Disney at Dawn).

It was used to describe Amanda during chapter 14, probably one of the best chapters in the series. I have a fixation on Fairlies, especially Mattie during 6...but Amanda is the very definition of epicness. Okay? Ridley Pearson said it himself--he loves her. And I'm pretty much obsessed with making her the queen of teen literature characters. So yeah, she's beyond boss.


v. my school year fanfiction schedule—prone to change on short notice

i suggest we stick to the shadows is on hiatus for the time being, due to B47 and the set-up of my new account. It won't take long, I promise.

Info about my activity in the HP archive to come.


vi. petitions—let’s hope they work

vii. operation find—help me discover the stories that brought me here

In July/August/September 2011, I discovered this website. Two stories I had read sealed the deal for me…and I can’t find them now.

Will you guys help me?

1. Read on July 11, 2011- A story in the Harry Potter section. I read two chapters—I’m not sure if there were more, although, the way it was worded, it kinda implied that it was continuing. The first chapter I read took place right after the Battle of Hogwarts. Harry and Hermione were walking through the wreckage and they came across Voldemort’s body. Hermione touched it. (The POV much have been third person omniscient because after she touched him it was revealed in the text that a sickness was instantly passed to her.) The second chapter took place in an office (maybe a Muggle one, I’m not sure) where Hermione was working.
2. Read sometime after July 11, 2011- A story in the Kingdom Keeper section. I read one chapter—I’m not sure if there were more, although, the way it was worded, it kinda implied that it was continuing. There were two parts to the chapter: first one, Finn and Amanda were in a room, (for some reason, I keep thinking there’s a fireplace there) and then Finn wakes up (apparently it was a dream). Next chapter he was talking with Dillard and wondering about the dream. (The POV was third person.)

I have searched for both stories and had no success (even for the KK one, which is making me start to think it’s off the site because the archive is fairly small.) I don’t know the title or author of each.

I would really appreciate your help, no matter how involved it is. Thank you very much ;)


ix. odds and ends—randomness, more like it

If there’s one story that you have to read by me, make it...Dare or Truth. No, honestly. I think I'm more proud of that story than any other...I think it sums up everything I am: random, bursting with energy, and crazy. Heh. If you can't take an OOC fic try i suggest we stick to the shadows. But that's still pretty OOC...

I appreciate reviews very much, but I also accept constructive criticism. I strive to improve, and I’m open to any advice for my stories/future stories.

I actually have a real, biological sister...ChickenPanda's1Fan. (Don't ask. It started with a chicken panda...yeah. Kinda got outta control.) They call her Lulu. She doesn't have any stories, but she's hilarious to talk to. Shoot her a PM!

My PM box is always open. I’m ready to rant at any moment, give song/book recommendations, ramble about my me-fanons, or just plain old chat. Feel free to come and ramble!


x. copy and pastes—because, i have to

If you actually take the time to read copy and pastes, copy this onto your profile

If you talk to yourself or fictional characters copy/paste this into your profile

If you have ever zoned out for more than five consecutive minutes, copy this into your profile.

If you are obsessed with fanfiction copy this into your profile.

If you have an odd sort of love/hate relationship with your computer, copy and paste this into your profile.

If you wish that a fictional character was real, copy and paste this to your profile

If you have ever seen a movie (or show) so many times that you can quote it word for word. And you do at random moments; copy and paste this in your profile.

If you ever forgotten what you were talking about in a conversation copy and paste this into your profile.

You can only type ONE word! Not as easy as you might think - now, copy or forward, change the answers to suit you and pass it on. It's really hard to only use one word answers. You can only type one word.


xi. farewell—for now

thank you for visiting my profile. fly you high ;)

12. Goodbye, Summer reviews
It was just sitting there, reminding him that happiness is gone. It could have been screaming. And Finn could hear it loud and clear. Oneshot. Rated K-plus for epicness. I know it's short. But that's all I have to say about today. And the reason it says "drama" for the genre is because he's very dramatic, don't you think? I was gonna make it horror but I don't think that's needed.

There was something about this fanbase that amazed even the biggest fans of other fandoms: it was definitely the most welcoming. If there was one thing to say about these people...it's that they embrace their craziness. One-shot, The KK's at the last Harry Potter premiere. Non-KK fans could understand this. Lots of Jess. Rated K-plus for too much epicness.
