Author has written 12 stories for Harry Potter, Circle Opens, Teen Titans, Song of the Lioness, and Hobbit.

Hi there! :) I'm Ana. Pleasure to meet you!


About me:

1. I love weird/unusual/unexpected/not overly done pairings. As a result, most of my fave pairings have very few stories. Some of the pairings I'd love to see written are only in my head. Yes, very strange, I know.

2. Side characters are awesome, mostly because that means I can take them and twist their stories to suit whatever phase I'm going through. I love giving characters a different perspective/angle and, hopefully, interesting/entertaining views.

3. Review, flame, totally ignore me - I appreciate every tiny gram of support, no matter what form it takes. Critique is important in the writing process. How I see it, I just have crazy ideas that are hit or miss.

4. I mostly read HP fanfic now, although I used to read LotR/Hobbit, Fire Emblem, Teen Titans and HYD fanfic a lot.

5. I am open to requests. Review or send me a PM. It can be a pairing, a prompt, whatever. If you like my writing style, I am up for anything. My muse is fickle and baffles me 80% of the time. hehe


My favorite quote:

"The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal."

First line from Kurt Vonnegut's short story Harrison Bergeron, my favorite sci-fi, dystopic short story.


Personal Pet Peeves:
(please don't be offended)

1) Mary Sues: I try not to write them, but I know how easy it is to fall into that trap. I don't find them very interesting, to be honest. And parodies about them turn me off even more. Sorry, just a personal pet peeve.

2) Intentional bad formatting/grammar. Please separate dialogue when more than one person is talking. It makes it confusing and hard to read when everything is in one paragraph. No authors do that in real life, so please don't. Another personal pet peeve, partly because I have bad eyes and partly because I'd rather not fight to understand who is talking.

3) I get annoyed when authors become angry about reviews. I personally don't care to review every single chapter of a piece I am reading, especially if the story contains a load of chapters. And for those people who do get annoyed, please don't take it out on readers. It is the reader's choice to review or not. And if they choose to say things like 'update soon' it probably doesn't mean they want the author to rush to add a chapter. It probably means they want the author to keep going with the story. The reviewer is just eager to read the rest of the story.

4) OCs: I don't mind OOC-ness and I love funny fics. But I'm not a big fan of OCs, mostly because the majority of them seem to end up as Mary Sues. Not all, but most of them.

8. Drabbles » reviews
Drabbles I wrote awhile ago for Goldenlake's Malorie's Peak Prompts. I never uploaded them there. Too nervous, I suppose. Anyway, characters are from both the Tortall and Emelan universes but I won't put it as a crossover so that people can find it more easily. Spoilers for all series set in those universes. Rating changed to T to reflect the drabbles rated PG-13.

9. Lingering Regrets reviews
My first Teen Titans fic. Raven contemplates the team after they've split up. Not sure if I should continue, so one-shot for now. And, yes, I am a Raven/Cyborg fan. Pairings implied: Robin/Starfire, possible Beast Boy/Terra. Maybe Raven/Cyborg if you stare long enough. I'm not a huge fan of Robin/Starfire and Beast Boy/Terra fics, but the pairings fit. Maybe. For now.

11. Negative Impressions » reviews
A fic I thought of because I love silly teehee. I guess I made it T for drinking, relationships which will come into play in the following chapters, and for other words . Marauder-age fic more sympathetic towards Severus. This summary is more of an update status than a summary... Yes, I know. Chapter 4 should be up soon! Thank you everyone! :
