I'm a New Yorker born and raised in Greenwich Village, and an aspiring fashion designer. I love all art mediums, I sing, and I write short stories. I have an original short story up on FictionPress (under the same penname- Azrulai) that won a NY Region Gold Key from the most recent Scholastic Arts and Writing Awards about a teen who attempts suicide and the guy who convinces her that life is worth living. Go check it out and review please!!

I'm also currently working on a post-WWIII dystopian novel, which may take away somewhat from my fanfic-writing time. But hey, it's the summer.

A bit more about me:

Favorite Books: The Catcher in the Rye, The Fountainhead, Animal Farm, Wicked, and of course the Harry Potter series.

Favorite Music: THE BEATLES (forever and always the best band that ever existed), The Who, The Talking Heads, Electric Light Orchestra, The B-52s, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, The Traveling Wilburys, and (I have to say one that's current, don't I) Motion City Soundtrack.

Favorite Quote: "Fashions fade, style is eternal" -Yves Saint Laurent. So utterly true, and the principle upon which I choose and design clothing.

Favorite Places to Be: Greenwich Village, Soho, Tel Aviv, anywhere in Italy, Belize.

Thoughts on My Stories:

The Facade: Le Tuteur Clairvoyant (Draco/Ginny)

COMPLETE. My first fanfiction, and still my best in my personal opinion. It has the most original concept.

Try to Love Again (Sirius/Ginny)-

COMPLETE. If you think the pairing is sick and disgusting, I would love if you would read it (even if you flame me afterwards).

Saving Ginevra Weasley (Draco/Ginny)-

COMPLETE. I had so much fun writing this, mostly because it's first person from Draco's perspective, but also because it's my own setting. It was very spontanous, and I kind of made it up as I went along. I like it.

NEWS!! Ellie (Caliadne here on ffnet), a fabulous bilingual Canadian, is translating this fic into French on hpff!! The link is http://www.hpfanfiction.org/fr/viewstory.php?sid=11532

Unlikely Places (Assorted Pairings: HG-DM, GinW-BZ, HP-PansP, PadmaP-GeoW, LL-RonW)

IN-PROGRESS. This one is more lighthearted and fun, VERY different than my others. Hmm... wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that I started it during the summer, and all the others were written during school...

Repentance (Draco/OC)

ON HOLD: Will Resume In A Few Months. Very dark, involving rape and all that. Draco is OOC, but that's the whole point- it's a life experience that drastically changed his perspective. As the story goes on and he heals emotionally, he will regain some of his sarcastic personality. I'm really excited to be creating my first serious OC, Aniela de Conti.

Please check them out and REVIEW!

I, Azrulai, do solemnly swear to review all the fics I read, regardless of the number of reviews, its age, or anything else.

My own personal addition: This promise is null and void when the fic is really, honestly, absolutely horrificlly terrible (you know, the kind where you stop reading after three lines), because, as my mum says, "If you don't have something good to say than don't say anything at all".
