Hello, everyone! :-)

Update as of Tuesday, September 27, 2011:

Deathly Hallows Part 2 - I Won't Say Farewell

So... Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, the final Harry Potter film, is coming out tomorrow here in the U.S. and in the UK. Some people are probably gonna say, "It's over. Thank God. Finally!" Others are probably gonna say the opposite, "It's over. I can't believe it. I don't want it to end!"

Though, I for one won't say either because I for one won't regard it as the end. Yes, it is true: It all ends. It has to. Every story, saga, series, etc. must come to an end. It's inevitable. But for me personally I won't say farewell to Harry Potter. I won't say good-bye.

The reason is this and this alone: In a thousand years from now, when we're all dead & buried, including J.K. Rowling herself, people will still read about Harry - The Boy Who Lived. His story will still go on the shelves in bookstores & libraries.

Harry will join the likes of Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, Orlando and Rosalind in As You Like It, and others by William Shakespeare, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings also by J.R.R. Tolkien, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy in The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, and many, many others.

Just like Bilbo and Frodo, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy has done and will continue to do, Harry will also continue to charm audiences - adults and children alike - for many, many generations to come.

Thus, for me this isn't the end. This is just the beginning. When I want to re-live the magic and go back to Hogwarts, I'll read the books & watch the films over and over again, even until I'm old, gray, and sitting in my rocking chair.

On a final note before the tears start rolling down my face, I just want to say thank you to Ms. J.K. Rowling. Even though I absolutely hate the Deathly Hallows (Yep. Epilogue What Epilogue, lol!) book, she created a wonderful, unique universe for everyone to get lost in and also to play with, the latter being especially directed at us fan fiction writers, lol. I do not and never will take that away from her. So thank you Ms. Rowling for sharing "your baby" with the world.

And thank you, thank you Warner Bros., producers David Heyman and David Barron, screenwriter Steve Kloves, directors David Yates (especially David Yates!), Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón, and Mike Newell for bringing Ms. Rowling's series to the screen. I thank you many times over and I salute you all.

Stories

It's really sad to say that I still have writer's block - since March of 2008. It's been three bloody years now! *cries* Therefore, I STILL (really) do not know when I will be able to update Comfort and a Kiss, Love Hurts, Love Heals, and/or post new fics. I continue to do my best to get out of this hole, but so far I'm still stuck in it. :-( Please... please be rest assured that the fics have not been and never will be abandoned. They're just on a hiatus because of this stupid mess. :-( *cries some more*

About Me:

My name is Mima and I'm 25 years old. I was born in Romania, but came to the U.S. with my mom when I was four years old in 1989. I'm an only child and a Libra. I moved around a lot while I was growing up, but now I reside in Utah (U.S.) with my mom and step-dad.

Through my grandfather and grandmother (my mother's parents), I am a direct descendant from Vlad the Impaler a.k.a. Dracula. Thus, from this fact: yes, I do consider myself a Vampire, lol. ;-)

My pen name is derived from the awesome actress, singer, and dancer Vera-Ellen and the fictional character from the first episode of Star Wars, Sabé--who was the decoy queen for Queen Amidala. I took Vera and Sabé, and put them together. And thus, I created my long-standing pen name in the summer of 2003. :-)

And not to mention I've been reading (and writing) fan fiction since then, too. :-)

Thus, as I love to read and write fan fiction, Harry Potter is my favorite fandom--and one of my current obsessions! :-)

Hermione is my favorite HP character. I absolutely love and adore her because I can relate to her so much. Therefore, it's not so surprising that I only read fics where she's the main character and why I'm registered on Granger Enchanted, an awesome fan fiction website that's dedicated to her. ;-)

Music: I love all types of music, ranging from Classical to Pop to R&B. If you want to check out what songs, artists, and genre of music I like, you can visit my playlist at Project Playlist by going here: My Project Playlist

My Favorite Quotes:

"Let every man be master of his time." -- Macbeth by William Shakespeare

"Now, as long as you're just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do." -- Captain Jack Sparrow

My Favorite Harry Potter Pairings:

Harry Potter: Hermione/Anyone

Crossover Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings: Hermione/Legolas

Crossover Harry Potter/Pirates of the Caribbean: Hermione/Jack Sparrow and Hermione/Will Turner

Though I ship many Hermione-centric pairings, my absolute favorite pairings of all time is Hermione/Tom Riddle-LV. I've been a huge shipper since the beginning of 2004. And Hermione/Legolas, crossing over HP with LOTR and vice versa. I've shipped them since the summer of 2003. :-)

The only pairing I cannot stand is Hermione/Ron. I abhor her being with him in a romantic relationship. Ugh! And also, NO bestiality! I absolutely ABHOR it!

Also, Frank Dillane played Tom Marvolo Riddle in the 6th HP movie, but he will never be Tom Riddle, Jr. to me. Christian Coulson will forever be Tom Riddle, Jr. to me; enough said.
